rthstewart | 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

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...

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

“Dear Professor-What’s-His-Nuts,” Peter read the letter aloud in disbelief, so flummoxed that the cackling of his siblings hardly registered, “I am drunk as a skunk in a funk but I think you’ve got it all wrong about that Henry guy with all the wives, I mean he couldn’t of — by the Lion, the grammar is atrocious — he couldn’t of been fat and ain’t no way he got all them babes with a skanky leg, besides I’ve seen the Tudors and those queens were — ahem — randy as f— well that is uncalled for!” Peter stopped midword, flushed, crumpled the letter and threw it at the ground.

Naturally, Lucy intercepted it even before the cat could, and with an air of inevitability Peter watched her smooth the paper, clear her throat, and pick up almost precisely where he had left off: “So anyways I think that you must’ve got that king’s name wrong, he clearly wasn’t a Henry, he hadda be a Richard cuz my man got some massive — oh my,” Lucy barely got the last few words out between giggles, “massive Dick energy.”

“I don’t even know where to start,” Peter said feebly, but before he could enumerate the innumerable historical and grammatical inaccuracies, Susan broke in primly: “I’d start by teaching them how to spell Pevensie.”

AWWWWW. Oh gawd.

omggggg XD

HAHAHA

I love this. That is all.

I'm giggling. And Susan is the best.

bahahaha oh poor Peter! XD

LOL, we just needed a bit of snarky Edmund and this would be complete!

oh man YES, this is EXCELLENT

Edmund, of course, wasn’t one to let the subject drop. But it took Peter a while to make the connection between the now infamous letter and the bowls of walnuts, almonds, pistachios, hazelnuts, peanuts and other assorted legumes that kept popping up around his home and office.

Finally a sophomore history major (with a matching sophomoric sense of humor) tossed off a cheeky “Nice nuts, Professor P!” as he grabbed a handful of cashews and dashed out the door, and Peter reminded himself of his age-old decision that revenge was ill-befitting a High King of Narnia... but then again, this wasn’t Narnia, was it?
