rthstewart | Three Sentence Ficathon -- Part 2

EDIT AS OF 2 FEBRUARY 2019 -- THE 3 SENTENCE FICATHON IS OVER! Go ahead and read and fill anything that catches your eye and comment on fills but I'm not checking it anymore and most people have moved on so any new prompts aren't likely to get much love.

We are nearing the point that the first 3SF post, which went live on 12 December, is nearing 4,600 comments. At 5,000 comments, Dreamwidth starts demanding captcha to assure you aren't a spammer bot. It's a pain and unpleasant but totally understandable. So, I'm opening a new post, for new prompts, new fills, new comments!

What does this mean?
The original 3SF post is here, so be sure to check it out, fill anything that catches your eye, and comment on anything that delights you. But don't post any new prompts there. All new prompts go here.

How long will we do this?
I will officially close the 3SF on January 31.

Does that mean you'll close this and no one can post?
Nope. It just means that we will all move on in our lives until next year and my inbox will get a vacation to Hawaii.

Remind me again, what's the 3SF?
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's a prompt? How do I do that?
You can start 3SF by posting 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."

Open ended and anthropomorphic fills are popular too, such as:

Any, Any, "I don't like sand."

or

Earth geography, sand, "I don't like humans very much, either."

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. Banners and icons are below.

How long will it go?
We'll officially close on January 31, 2019 but I don't close the entry to comments.

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?
So far, as near as I can tell (and I skim most entries especially from newcomers I don't recognize) we've not had any issues. As in the past, this is 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. As a reader, use your best judgment and be prepared to skip over things that aren't your thing.

I have noticed that some people have posted content warnings in the first lines of their fill or in the subject line. But still, it's readers beware here. Not everyone does this and no one is under any obligation to do so.

Wow, there are so many cool people here. Can I introduce myself?
Yes, in the Friending meme.

And can you believe I figure out how to make boxes so you can copy and paste this to plug the exchange elsewhere? I DID!

Soo. . . Since it seems like this little AU has become a Thing, rather than continue cluttering up the ficathon here with who knows how many of these, I've moved it over to AO3 (where the pieces may be a smidgen bigger but . . . no, definitely three sentence/minifics). That way I can also continue it past when the ficathon closes, if I manage to keep it going, as well. >.>

You can follow it here!

This is such a delight! I'm still catching up on leaving proper comments on all the awesome fills you and other folks have been leaving for my prompts these last few days, but I wanted to let you know these in particular have been some of my absolute favorites; there's a kind of poetry to how you're using this format repeated, and I strongly encourage you to keep going if you have inspiration to do so - you're really onto something neat here.

*subscribes via AO3 with alacrity*

ETA: also, I can't speak for the mod, but if you're having fun posting these here, why not continue here & on AO3 while this ficathon is live? Dreamwidth handles pages with long comment threads beautifully; your fills are a generative joy.

Thank you so much! ^.^ I'm delighted to hear that; this AU was definitely an accident but it's . . . intriguing. I'll keep on as long as I can keep thinking of bits that fit the feeling and style and . . . odd new Harry (and Voice).

. . .that is true, I may try and do that then, esp. if you don't mind as it is all tailed on your prompt as well. XD

OH NOES. People are prompting and filling and enjoying the prompts and the fills! And they've taken on a life of their own! WRITE ON, Friends. The mod is enjoying this as much as everyone else. if you like, and so it gets a little more spread out so that others can enjoy it, too, people could also give new prompts for Harry's Voice, with a link to this original thread. (We've done this with Narnia kangaroo verse in past years and I prompted the Ivan Vorpatil maneuver after reading a fill Cofax did). You obviously don't have to fill them but it could also give you ideas. For instance, I'd love to see, Harry Potter, Harry and his voice; first days of classes (especially potions and transfiguration). I can put that in a new prompt. No pressure though. Once this gets hard, it's no fun, so most important is to enjoy yourself.

I've read all of your parts and I'm loving them...although that voice is a bit suspicious lol - here's hoping it's the best voice for Harry and is going to keep track of your AO3 posts now! :-)

Thank you very much! ^.^ Psh, that voice is totally fine and 100% innocent, clearly. ;)
