Weekly Chat and Spectre Prompt Fest - 31/7/2015 - 7/8/2015

[mi6-cafe-mod.livejournal.com]

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: Established Relationship. We want those fanworks which have James and Q in an established relationship!

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 6^th. 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: Never say Never

Exploding Objects	Love doesn’t solve everything	Broken	Health and Safety	Possession
Never say never	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!
There is now an A03 collection that you can post your fills to!

MI6 Café Book and Film Clubs!

The Mi6 Café Book and Film clubs are starting tomorrow! Don’t forget to check out the schedules to make sure you don’t miss out! More information on the first book club, which is being held tomorrow (1/8/2015) will be in the introductory book club post! Hope to see you all there, and look forward to lots of discussion about Casino Royale!!

This week’s questions

2)      What do you think is the most ridiculous present that James has bought for Q for his birthday?
3)      Where do you think James learnt his driving skills?
Feel free to add more questions below!

I'm in between. On one hand I sort of would like this to happen, but on the other it sounds too improbable, because I'm not sure he'd spare anyone he wanted to keep close to himself. Lots of dead friends and lovers to confirm this.

OMG, great discussion, guys. I've gotta say that I fall into the camp of Bond being too selfish to break up with Q for the "it's better this way" reason; he's a man who likes pleasure, and I think with his potential life expectancy he'd grab onto a good thing like Q with both hands. But I don't doubt that there are circumstances (Venice, yeah) that could put him into a more self-destructive frame of mind.

And yeah, I doubt they'd have a special occasion before a dangerous mission--much easier to pretend that things are business as usual. Which they kind of would be, with all the dangerous occasions Bond's escaped from.

OTOH, if one of them knew that they were fatally dying but had a little time left, I can see them going somewhere meaningful--maybe to the stupid museum, or some other place where they made important memories--and having a nice domestic night in afterward. They eat take-away and bicker about one of the things they're always bickering about, only this time the healthy one lets the other one win, which causes a brief shouting match that ends in swearing and cuddles.

your OTOH made me cry, nope

another thing to factor in is, Q is a grown man, and Bond can't make his decisions for him - Q knows the risks, and he's there anyway
