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.

Batman (Bruce Wayne/Selina Kyle): Ain’t That A Shame
“Where do you think I got the dress from?” Selina asked.
“What?” Bruce yelled over the roar of the waves.
Selina smiled. “Nothing, darling.”

Communication Problems (Naruto; KakaIru)
"You never let anyone else get away with that shit." Anko said, leaning around the shelf to eye him. "Why him?"
"I don't let him!" Iruka bristled. "He never listens, the insufferable-"
"Maybe you should try speaking his language." Anko suggested with a smirk, and Iruka narrowed his eyes at her suspiciously, even as he freed a hand to catch the book she tossed at him.

He never did listen. (Miraculous.)
(Anonymous) 2020-02-04 07:00 am (UTC)(link)As Hawkmoth makes the wish he longed to make for so long, as the light abandons Chat's green, green eyes, and a sob chokes her, she thinks, well, this is really fucking permanent, isn't it?, because she failed, she failed, she failed him.
Later, standing in a black dress and with tears having made countless tracks on her cheeks, her stomach burns with rage for Gabriel Agreste as he stands there acting desolate like he didn't cause this.
Chat Noir never did listen to her when she told him to not sacrifice himself for her, and now Adrien will never listen to her ever again.

Miraculous.
(Anonymous) 2020-02-04 07:05 am (UTC)(link)"In my defense, how was I supposed to know that they were standing there?"
The only response he got was the thud of Alya's phone hitting the floor as realization sunk in.

Arrowverse, Barry, he never listens
Words that replay in his mind over and over, ever since the death of one of his best friends, Oliver Queen, for into the year of 2040.
He never listens, because there he goes again, or should that be, there he went again, back in time to try and save his friend from death by the Anti-Monitor...

Passing the Torch - Tiger & Bunny - Agnes, Kotetsu, OFC
"Wild Tiger, you need to wait—no!" the producer shouts, and she glances back at Agnes half in fear, half in anguish. "We have to go to commercial!"
Agnes doesn't need to have the earpiece to know what Tiger's saying in response.
She stands and pats her protégé on the shoulder. The poor woman looks like she needs the reassurance. "It's okay. He never listens. You learn to work with it."

Fill: Vestaria Saga, Hoelun
He never listens… Hoelun thinks tiredly as she paces around the yurt, feeling a pang of sympathy for Zade, who could never hope to reign in Cyltan at his worst.
“He never listens!” Hoelun yells indignantly and grabs her spare bow, rushing off to save Cyltan from whatever mess she just knows he’s gotten himself into.
Re: Fill: Vestaria Saga, Hoelun
Re: Fill: Vestaria Saga, Hoelun
If you're familiar with the Fire Emblem series, this game is an indie title from the original creator. It's difficult, but a lot of fun haha

call and response [Phoenix Wright | Franziska von Karma]
She isn't the sort to go shouting into the wind after something as foolish as the idea of a ghost, but even beyond that, she knows that any answer to that question is useless, if not actively harmful; any credibility Manfred von Karma may have once held about anything has been well and truly blown to bits, and with enough years out from it she understands the reasoning, even though it will always, always be hard to swallow.
But still, old habits die hard, and the ones that managed to survive the bombshells of her childhood die harder than most…and so she wonders, and is met every time by the heavy silence that is her father now, is left to try to see that as a blessing instead of the bucket of cold water it seems to always feel like.
