It’s Friday which means that there is a new Weekly Chat! Don’t forget that the weekly chat is open until Friday of next week.
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/body 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/art you’ve seen over the past week and those fics/art that fit into the genre of the week!

This week the genre of fanwork recs we’re looking for is: Prompt fills! The 00Q tumblr community has many people who write short pieces for prompt fills, so this week we want your recs for those art and fic prompt fills that fill up the 00Q tag with lovely creativity.
When reccing fic/art, please can you make a separate comment with ‘Week Rec’ in the subject title. If you’re commenting anon, then just put your handle in brackets after the ‘Weekly Rec’ bit - eg Weekly Rec (cass). This just helps your friendly mod hunt down all your links and put them into the weekly rec post!

Spectre Prompt Fest!

The MI6 prompt bingo table continues! We’re releasing a new prompt every week up to when Spectre is released in the UK on November 6th. You can  write/draw/create anything of your choice in response to the prompt, and you can post fills for any of the revealed prompt!

This week the prompt is: Possession

Exploding Objects Love doesn’t solve everything Broken Health and Safety Possession
Hidden Hidden Hidden Hidden Hidden
Hidden Hidden Hidden Hidden Hidden
Hidden Hidden Hidden Hidden Hidden

You can post your fills anywhere you like – tumblr, in the comments section of the weekly chat, to your own LJ! Feel free to link your fills in the chat, and don’t forget to tag your prompt fills with #mi6cafeprompt so everyone can share the 00Q love!

Don't forget there is now an A03 collection for the MI6 Cafe!

MI6 Café Book and Film Clubs!

Don’t forget that the MI6 Café Book and Films clubs start in August, so why not get ahead with your reading and watching before the events? See the schedules and resources list links on the sidebar on the right, underneath the calender, for more information!

Note about tags for fic/art posts
Yay! We've seen some wonderful fic being posted to the comm! The tagging system is slowly being built, but if there is a tag you want to use for your post that doesn't yet exist (eg for a character/genre we haven't got) then just make a note in the header of the post that you would like a tag and your friendly mods shall give you one!)

Also, after you post first time we'll make you a special author/artist tag for you to use at your leisure :) Don't have to request it, we just see that you haven't got one so we add one for you!

This week’s questions

1)      Whose your favourite – James or Q? Why is this?
2)      Q and James are going out on a date! How would they dress up and why? Would James have to persuade Q to loose the cardigan?
3)      Describe each of the members of MI6 in five words. Why did you pick those words?
4)      What are Q and James’ favourite books?

Bonus Question - What do you think of the Spectre Trailer?

Feel free to add more questions below!

i feel like he was pissed off at himself. ROOKIE MISTAKE! he thinks bitterly. No one would have plugged in Silva's laptop to the bloody mainframe! So he beats himself over it. He thinks people won't listen to him. Just a kid, they'll think!

[however, when you look at Q-branch [most notably the gentleman that shows Q the fail safe code] they all look roughly around Q's age. [hence another Old vs. New MI6 going at it] So, they will still follow but Q doesn't think so]

Then James kinda gets him out of the rut. He says, Look, you brought Silva to me, and I killed him. Yeah, ya done goofed but you did your job. Instead of panicking you turned around and immediately helped me. And Q won James's respect for that.

And then there's Mallory. Mallory probably reprimanded him for being an idiot. The thing too is, did Mallory hire him or did Mansfield [Dench!M] ? So, there's that other factor. If Mansfield did, then I can see Mallory going: If she trusted you, I trust you. kind of thing. If Mallory hired him then he might be on a tighter leash but still have control of Q-branch to make sure he doesn't fuck up again.

Aww! I love the idea of Bond giving Q a kind of pep talk. <3 And I always think of M as the one who did his hiring, but you're right, it could have been Mallory doing some early interference...

Have you read winterhill's "A is for Arrogance"? She deals a bit with Q's reaction after the film.

I kinda like the idea of Q Branch rallying around Q if Mallory tries to punish him in some way
