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...

Oh wow. Yes. And definitely an improvement on the dik-dik ceremony (never actually attempted, in all recorded Narnian history, but inserted into the Regalia anyway, just in case).

Pirates of the Arcadia (Captain Harlock)

Arcadia - Tochiro - shifted with a great groan of metal, pulling in the released Dark Matter as Miime returned and forcing it back into the engine . . . but not only there.

They are my crew, Arcadia thought, gears thrumming to the beat of their Captain's running feet on the deck, I will not lose them!

Even as their Captain crossed over onto the lifeless Oceanus, following the young mate's path, all over the ship the Arcadia's crew began to stir and rise once more, life breathed once more into their still, broken figures.

Good Advice (Naruto)

"Has anyone ever told you this," Yamato began, keeping clear of the writhing figure dripping venom all over the grass as Orochimaru hissed and snapped at him, "mm . . . don't turn into a snake. It never helps."

Yamato shaped a few quick seals and darted out of range as a wood cage - a box, really, barely allowing for air to flow in and out - snapped tight around the snake.

Orochimaru thrashed, slamming into the wood, but it didn't crack or bow, and Yamato breathed a sigh of relief, his heart still hammering. "Senpai lent me a funny book that said so. It was full of advice you could have used."

Bayley tries to be the happy, smiling ray of sunshine everyone expects - she really does, and of course she's thrilled to take selfies with Trish and Lita, to see Carm, to hug Bex and Char to pieces and wish them luck.

It's just that it's not what she and Sasha wanted, it's not a marquee match, it's not them fighting each other in a blaze of glory clean and bright and true.

"Welcome to veteranhood, kiddos," Nattie says, clapping them both on the shoulders, "let's go - we've got three girls to make into stars."

The dead cholerbear is crushing the life out of you, but that’s nothing compared to the crushing disappointment of a potential friendship ruined by your abysmal decision-making skills. To add insult to probably-fatal injury, you get the worst sense of déjà vu as the world fades to black, which is ridiculous because your friendship-making skills are on point and you have certainly never let a friend down before.

You think please, let this be the last and don’t understand why.

Second Time Around

[personal profile] edenfalling 2018-12-14 10:54 pm (UTC)(link)
The first time Sasuke left the village, she begged him to take her with him, caught up in fantasies of following him into his personal nightmare and dragging him back into the light; that got her nothing but a mild concussion, a broken heart, and an ache like a missing limb where one third of her team should have been.

This time Sakura doesn't ask.

And this time, Sasuke knows better than to stop her.
