Three Sentence Ficathon

[rthstewart]

The 2015 Three Sentence Ficathon is now CLOSED, with over 4,100 prompts, fills, and comments.  It's been a great exchange and thank you so much for the whacky crackfic, the moving short fic, and the amazing cross-overs.  You all are great.  I won't freeze this -- go ahead and continue to fill any prompts that interest you and comment on fills made.  I just ask that there not be any more NEW prompts. 

We'll be back next year.  Check out the friending meme and friend away and if you post your works on AO3, be sure to use the 3 sentence ficathon tags.

Thank you again, so much!

It's been 2 years, so why not?!!

 

 

Caramelsilver ran one in December on Live Journal but I was too busy to play.  There are lots of outstanding prompts over there, so do go and check it out!!  Here's the link!  I did one in early spring 2 years ago here on Dreamwidth, and with Yuletide, Fandomstocking, and Festivids over, I thought I'd run a new one!!  Thanks so much  to snacky and Saoirse7 for the nudge and to st_aurafina for making the swell banner and icon!

What is the 3 Sentence Ficathon?
This is a challenge where you answer a prompt with a fic consisting of only three sentences. It's open to all fandoms and you can post and answer as many prompts as you like, as many times as you want.

What do I do first?
You post prompts!  When posting a prompt please format it this way:

fandom, character(s), prompt word/sentence.

Only one prompt per comment please.

What else?
You answer other posters' prompts in three sentences (or more if you can't stop yourself) and fill as many prompts as you want, as many times as you wish.  If you see that a prompt you loved has already been filled, go ahead and fill it again!  Multiple fills of the same prompt allowed and even encouraged!

But I'm not a member of Dreamwidth
No problem.  You can comment anonymously or through open ID

Can anyone play?
Yes!  Please signal boost this to your flist, followers, and any other places you frequent.  Come one, come all! 
I'm cross-posting to LJ but we will keep all prompts and fills here, so they are in one awesome place (and with less spam).  Please, post this anywhere and everywhere.  The more people who come and play, the better!

[And I'll try to put an embed code in so you can spread the word.  I've tried multiple times and failed so far snacky  !

How long will it go? 
I'm closing it on Sunday, March 8, 2015.   (Last time, we reached 5,000 comments and I had to start a new one before the ficathon concluded.  If that happens, I'll start a new post).

Are there any rules about cross-posting?
Nope, you can post wherever you want, whenever you want.  A lot of folks collected their responses together and posted them on AO3 under the 3 sentence fiction tag.  3SFs are a terrific prompt for remixes.


Gosh, there are some cool people over here.  How do I introduce myself?
Through the friending meme right here.



And here, have some icons!

Re: Thank you!

I'm so glad you loved it. Hehe, your first guess is correct. I pictured it as follows after reading your prompt: after the Colonel proposes to Georgiana, he intends to tell Darcy but she says she'll speak to her brother first. Her reason is that he'd worry because of the past and she wanted to assure him not to worry, that the Colonel is her choice and that she's happy. Darcy had no clue about them but Elizabeth had an inkling or two. So when Darcy came to Elizabeth to complain, "did you know?", her teasing response is "sort of". So now Darcy is sulking. ;)

And really, thanks for the explanation. I've shied away from posting any P&P fics before because this is one of the things I wasn't clear about but now I know. :)

Thank you for the fun prompt!

You're so welcome! I really did love it. :) And I'm glad the long tangent clarified that bit of trivia about marriage laws. I knew that cousin marriage was legal in Britain then, but I didn't know about now, or know any of the background. I'd like to read more about it! You should post more P&P fics - there need to be more good ones in the world! :)

Sulking Darcy is so adorable. :) And I think the way you've pictured it is precisely how Georgiana would handle it; I can imagine she would want to tell Darcy herself, after everything that happened with Wickham.
