Three Sentence Ficathon
THIS POST IS NOW CLOSED TO NEW PROMPTS. PLEASE POST NEW PROMPTS HERE.
You can go ahead and continue to respond to prompts and comment on them here but please don't post any new prompts .
Welcome to the Three Sentence Ficathon!
UPDATE 1 HERE- 2 Feb
UPDATE 2 HERE 6 Feb
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 can start 3SF by posting prompts! When posting a prompt please format it this way:
Only one prompt per comment please. So, for example,
Open ended and anthropomorphic fills are popular too, such as:
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 generally fail at creating banners and embed codes but if you create one and make it really idiot-proof, I might manage it. Or we can just cross-post. If you create one, I'll try to post it and everyone can use it.
How long will it go?
Until February 29, 2020. But the entry stays open permanently.
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.
Here, have some icons and banners and let me know if you've created your own!

What about spoilers, content and archive warnings, triggers, pairings, ratings, tags, and squick?
I thought a lot about this. It wasn't an issue the last 3 times I ran this. In my experience, this typically gets too big, moves too fast, and the stories are too short for content warnings and ratings to even apply. It is too big for me to moderate in this way. You should assume spoilers are fair game and that the initial poster and the responder have opted to use no content warnings or tags. This means AO3 content warnings for dubcon, violence, canon character death, underage, etc. COULD be present. I've found personally that I can skim and scroll 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. In this format, the obligation is on you, the reader, to protect yourself from triggering content.

I always imagine them as in the 60s show, but you do you.
caring is creepy (and we care so much!), Gomez/Morticia
They delight in each other — above all else, that was the one true thing about their love. Of course, they also had the blood, the horror, the torment, the eternal danse macabre that was their shared world. But first came the recognition — delighted and happy — of two souls who had found each other and bound themselves with the truest and most frightful love.

A Perfect Night
Morticia beamed at him. "A dance with the most wonderful, handsome man in the entire world, mon cher."
Gomez froze. "Tish. You know what it does to me when you speak French!"
She curled her fingers under his chin. "Yes, I do. And I think it might make this night more perfect indeed."
I just finished watching the '60s series for the first time about a month ago; it was so much fun!

And hey, someone else that's watched the '60s show! I really need to rewatch it, that show was my childhood LOL.
Re: A Perfect Night
Yes, a friend of mine and I rewatched the first '90s movie early last year, and she was surprised to find out I'd never seen the original series. We ended up watching the whole thing together and I was utterly delighted by it. So much fun!

As the Harpsichord Plays (Addams Family; Gomez/Morticia)
Morticia smiled, sharp and slow, and crooked a finger, and Gomez leapt to his feet, drawn to her side as though by steel hooks embedded in his very bones. Gomez took her into his arms, and Morticia moved with him with all the strength and grace of a whip, her sharp nails caressing his neck in a dangerous promise that set his blood aflame.
I adore them, they are such Goals; and the '60s show is the one I grew up on and still love best. ^.^ I wrote this with delight~

Re: As the Harpsichord Plays (Addams Family; Gomez/Morticia)
I grew up with the show too (despite being way before my time LOL), and they'll always be my favorite version too ^^
Re: As the Harpsichord Plays (Addams Family; Gomez/Morticia)
It was definitely far before my time but still my favourite. ^.^ (Although the '90s movies are fun as well of course.)
