Someone did this banner for me a couple of years ago. It's great, isn't it?
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...

"I thought you respected those who disobeyed authority," Caleb says innocently.
Legends of Tomorrow
"I am," Gideon said, appearing behind him, causing him to startle at the sound and then boggle when he turned to see the disembodied head.
He glanced at Sara who shrugged and said, "Gideon, Marcus; Marcus, Gideon – she'll take you to safety while I go grab us some much needed drinks."
AHS Apocalypse, Mallory
Considering the bomb alert that had just been sent out to the entire city, the entire world, she should just be relieved that she was getting to escape the fate that otherwise would have been hers.
But had Mallory known what awaited her in the future with the bunker, with Ms Venable, with Michael Langdon, she would have known that the fact that no one was flying the plane was the last thing she should be worried about.

Distraction (Girl Genius)
"NOT TO INTERRUPT," Moloch screamed, shoving a jaeger out of the way and elbowing another in the throat, "but WHO IS FLYING THIS THING?"
The pair of Sparks turned on him with madness-lit eyes and even more alarming grins, then stilled, glancing over the edges of the machine at the rapidly-approaching trees below, and dove over each other towards the controls, abandoning their tools near the worryingly open engine panels.
