Weekly Chat and Spectre Prompt Fest

[mi6-cafe-mod.livejournal.com]

It’s that time for the weekly chat again! Today we’ve got a number of exciting changes happening to the weekly chat:

Chat is open ALL WEEK!

Yes, that means that the weekly chat is open until Friday of next week (where I will post a new weekly chat post full of exciting mi6 café updates).
Don’t forget that anon commenting is on so you don’t need an account to join in the fun! If you are using anon comments, if you could put your name/handle in the subject line of the comments that would be fab (just so everyone knows who they are talking to!)

Weekly Recs

It’s time again for you to give your weekly recs! This week we’re looking for your favourite fics you’ve seen over the past week and those fics that fit into the genre of the week!

This week the genre of fic recs we’re looking for is: Alternate Universe. So go rec all those AUs you love and care about so much!

Spectre Prompt Fest!

Spectre is released in the UK on November 6^th, and with it we get lots of 00Q goodness to enjoy! To celebrate the fact that the new movie is only a few months away, we’re celebrating with an MI6 Café prompt bingo table! Every week a new bingo prompt will be revealed on the table for you to write/draw/create anything of your choice for! You can create fanworks for previous prompts as well!

So let’s start with prompt number 1: Exploding Objects

Exploding Objects	Hidden	Hidden	Hidden	Hidden
Hidden	Hidden	Hidden	Hidden	Hidden
Hidden	Hidden	Hidden	Hidden	Hidden
Hidden	Hidden	Hidden	Hidden	Hidden

Tag your prompt fills with #mi6cafeprompt so everyone can share the 00Q love!

This week’s questions

To celebrate the chat being extended to a further week, we’ve got some more questions for you to answer and discuss!

1)      Have you read any of the Bond Books? Do you like them?
2)      What are your views on 00Q/Bond meta?
3)      Is James or Q creative? Do you think they have any hobbies outside their chosen profession?
4)      For fancreators – what is the strangest prompt you’ve been given for a fanwork?
5)      What song best represents 00Q for you? Why is this?

More Questions!
6)      Isthisrubble - what sort of AUs do you like the most? why?
7)      teacass - for those of you who accept prompts what is your favourite kind of prompt to receive? A picture? Only a few words? Or a totally strange and unique idea to play with?
8)      castillon - Question for anyone/everyone: What do you think Q's office leadership style is like? To build on that, how do you think he deals with being 1) relatively young, and 2) managing people who are frequently in high-pressure, sometimes potentially traumatizing situations?

Feel free to add more questions below!

And I guess I could answer the "why" part of the question... I love seeing the way that characters can be IC even in totally different circumstances. I love that writers can convince us to accept, "Yes, this is what Regency Bond or dystopian sci-fi Q would be like, no doubt." The way people are able to bring things back to canon while adding their own twists and variations, and being very clever about the ramifications of those twists and variations on the original text, is fascinating. (Like the best kind of "If...then..." logic problem.) I guess it's the same thing I like about most fanfiction, tbh! Lots of room for exploration and creativity.
