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...

She dances en pointe, spins circles in her borrowed dress and forced smile, the little sister, damaged and in need of help, just a poor child who knows too much but cannot quantify any of what she feels, a floating angel in the darkness of space.
They cannot know the strength within, the power inside, the woman hidden by the girl, who will rise up in time.
They protect her from the monsters, so they say inside their heads, not knowing the only real threat lies deep within her own mind and body, waiting to emerge, to destroy, to avenge.

Original (DND)
He does not understand what these new people see when they look at him, the beast in their midst, one they accommodate without clear expectation, a young person searching for home.
Man's Best Friend? (Teen Wolf)
Derek's ears perked towards him, and he cautiously slunk forwards on his belly when Stiles only met his eyes without flinching.
Not that Stiles ever flinched, even when he should run, Derek thought darkly, then jerked with surprise as long, clever fingers smoothed over his head and scritched lightly behind his ear. "You're my friend, whether you like it or not, and you're a good man." Stiles said firmly, his hand resting lightly on Derek's fur.
Derek stared at him, not quite able to wrap his head around the conviction - the trust - Stiles had in him.
"I mean, who's a good boy feels more appropriate right now," Stiles added with a crooked smirk, "but I imagine you might have to hurt me for that one."

(Anonymous) 2019-07-29 06:45 am (UTC)(link)I’m not what you think I am.
You look at me and see a pretty girl, one out of seven, athletic but vapid and flirty and a bit dim, and you don’t see the hours and hours of dedication my acrobatism and my knowledge of chi paths takes; you see my fists, but you think you control where they go, who they attack; you see my love - not just for you, but for Mai and for Zuko and for my sisters and my parents and everyone else - but you’ve always thought love was weaker than fear, haven’t you, Azula?
So, no, I’m not what you think I am at all.
