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...

Any, any, "let's never speak of it again."

Fill: Fairytale - The Frog Prince

[syrena_of_the_lake]

The first words out of his mouth were hardly romantic, and the rest of him hardly corrected the impression: his mouth still looked a little too wide, his knees turned out to the sides, and his eyes looked unnervingly in different directions — and, needless to say, his voice croaked.

The girl wondered whether the prince had always looked like a frog, and if the stories only made him out to be handsome and courteous because he was a prince.

“If that’s your attitude,” she retorted, “then that’s fine by me, and I won’t tell a soul — but you’ll have a hard time explaining where you’ve been all this time... and why you have webbed feet.”

Poor girl! Love this, author.

[Miraculous Ladybug] not today, Satan (maybe tomorrow, if you bring some famous dark side cookies)

[alexseanchai]

"We need to talk about this later," says Marinette, handing Tikki one of the cookies she obviously carries for precisely this sort of occasion; Plagg makes a face at the string cheese she proffers but for once he doesn't complain.

Adrien considers the nature of the secret mission he has just realized Ladybug was on the day she told Chat Noir to protect Marinette from Evillustrator—and, more to the point, his own behavior that day. "Let's not and say we did."

Closed Door (Naruto; MadaTobi, Izuna)

[kalira]

"Ah, Izu?" Madara began tentatively, moving into the main room. "Are you-"

"No, no!" Izuna waved a hand, the other one still clamped over his eyes. "Let's never speak of it again! Also I am never coming into your study when the door is closed ever again." he added with a full-body shudder, mouth twisting.

Madara cleared his throat, torn between blushing and laughing at his brother - he'd been trying to teach Izuna boundaries since he was tiny, and apparently all he'd needed to do was . . . be caught fucking his little brother's friend cum rival across his desk.
