Three Sentence Ficathon

UPDATE! EDIT!
 We're running into the Dreamwidth comment limits so all new prompts should be posted here Keep responding to and filling already posted prompts here, but all new ones should go to the new thread!





Someone did this banner for me a couple of years ago.  It's great, isn't it?  If it was you, please step up and take a bow!
It was
[personal profile] st_aurafina!   Thank you again!


caramelsilver ran one last year on Livejournal and I did two over here a few years ago. We'll keep it open until January 31, 2019 which should give everyone time to play a little. This is a delightful part of the online fandom community.


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.  So, for example,

Star Wars, Obi-Wan Kenobi, I don't like sand."


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 are allowed and even encouraged!  (We get really fun stories going this way).

Can I still post if I need more than 3 sentences?  Or should I just abuse grammar in ways the English language never contemplated?
Yes.  Yes.


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!
The more people who come and play, the better!

Can I spread the word? 
Yes, please.  I'd love to create a nifty banner with an embed code but I fail at it.  So if you create one, I'll post it and everyone can use it.

How long will it go?
Tentatively, we'll close it on January 31, 2019. 

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 and could be helpful for Yuletide bears, too.

What about spoilers, content warnings, triggers, pairings, ratings, tags, and squick?
I thought about this.  It wasn't an issue the last 2 times I ran this but times change.  In my experience, this typically gets too big, moves too fast, and the stories are too short for content warnings and ratings. You should assume spoilers are fair game and that the initial poster and responder have opted to use no content warnings or tags. I've found personally that I can skim by stuff that, from the prompt, I can tell isn't my favorite flavor of delicious cake. Use your best judgment and be prepared to skip over things that aren't your thing.


And here, have some icons!










I'll start things off...

No problem. Yeah I had been out of collecting for a decade until Neil Gaiman tweeted about the explosion of new Sandman Universe books and now I'm back into it. Gah

And again, glad you liked it.

And okay, maybe it had a point there, Kyle had actually stopped counting over the years but they’d always gotten past it and even if they hadn’t, he knew it didn’t matter – his partner was reaching out to make a tag.

Aww, this is the most wrestling outlook; we’ve been here (well, maybe not literally here: even for a wrassler, it’s not every day you’re literally murdered!) together before and we’ll probably be back again. The important part is doing it together. <3

Hardison was just Not Prepared for this, AAA! ;) Eliot and Parker are much more pragmatic anyway . . . Hardison just needs to catch up, poor silly boy. XD

Thank you! 🖤 I originally thought of established relationship fluff but the trope called to me and I couldn't resist, it's so them. XD

Elfangor stood before his Guide Tree, pouring out his failures and guilt. Once before he had had almost as much to confess and just as little knowledge there was a long way to journey before things could be made right.

But this time, he is in the true universe, and Hala Fala is full of all the life and history his imagination could never reproduce.

Thanks!

Haha, yeah, the narrator should probably recalculate on that. If they’re lucky, they might still escape with their soul, though!
