hmsloop_hotspurEach month, we'll post a trio of prompts -- a theme, a quote, and a trope -- for you to use as a jumping-off point in whatever medium pleases you. Anything goes, fiction or meta, from drabbles through dissertation chapters. Fic, art, photo-essays, vids, and more are welcome!
Mix and match the prompts, or use just one! Then come back and share what you made!
- For August, the theme is Mathematics. Obviously, literal mathematics is important to the art of navigation -- as well as playing whist! -- but you might also use mathematics figuratively. (Witness Pellew speaking about "the mathematics of defeat"...!)
- The quote is from Mr Midshipman Hornblower, "The Even Chance":
He may have been weak in mathematics, but he was diabolically clever at making other people's lives a burden to them.
- The trope is Polyamory. Triangles and triads; OT4s and more!
