Three Sentence Ficathon

[rthstewart]

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...

Anthropomorfic, Lady Justice, women raged as old men fumbled and cried/we're sorry, we thought you didn't care

[betony]

She is Susanna, she is Artemisia, she is a million unknown others: she is a sword claimed to be too heavy for dainty hands to hold, the trickle of blood righteously spilled, a voice speaking out before it's too late.

She was Themis once, and Ma'at; she was Innana and Syn, before man forgot.

She was blinded because they feared the anger of her gaze, lamed because they feared her strength, but still she has her voice, and she will scream.

[vialethe]

Yes, yes! I love the inclusion of Susanna and Artemisia especially, and all the goddesses throughout the ages who have their backs. And but still she has her voice, and she will scream. is the perfect ending.

[betony]

Those two are one of the most evocative stories of justice denied that I know, and so of course I had to work them in!

[kalira]

Ooo~ Horrifying and rousing and amazing!

[betony]

Thank you! :D

[booksarelife]

I love all your fills so much!!! I actually got most of these references, which surprised me. This is so good and angry and yes!!

She takes many forms, puts on many faces, but for now, she faces you as a wolf.

You shudder, feel your heart race, your palms sweat and you wonder if this creature, this big, hungry-looking beast, is going to be the last thing you see.

Then she lunges, not at you, but at the man who's been keeping you, the man who made you his, the one who said you belonged to him, and you realize who she's really there for.

[ernest]

oh, this is stunning!

[tomakeanoffer]

Thank you!

[vialethe]

Yes! Girls and wolves both have sharp teeth, after all. This is wonderful, thank you!

[tomakeanoffer]

Yessss. Also, fun fact, I have that phrase as a sticker on my laptop because yes.

[kalira]

Ooo. . . Yes~

[tomakeanoffer]

Hee! Thank you! <3
