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!

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 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.

(Anonymous) 2020-02-02 01:31 am (UTC)(link)Batman (Bruce Wayne/Selina Kyle): Can’t Say No
Selina drags her claws down Bruce’s bare back, and he bucks into her harder than he has a right to, but the ache is what she wants, just like the guilt he’ll feel afterward is what he wants.
no subject
The mist that surrounds her is free of all obligations and much as she’d like to stay there she also wants to see what comes next, so she continues to walk until something emerges from that all-consuming whiteness.
She doesn’t have much time to be disappointed by the familiarity of that same peaked roof, because the Cat comes to wind around her legs, and then announces that, “Boundaries aren’t what they were.”

Lines - Tiger & Bunny - Barnaby/Kotetsu
Barnaby knows that logically, or at least he feels like he should know that, but after so long of having his personal life mined for ratings, he has no idea where the line should be anymore.
Kotetsu takes his hand, with a smile on his face like he can read Barnaby's mind. "Don't worry, Bunny. I'll help you remember."
Trauma and Touch (Naruto; Tobirama & Hashirama)
"Anija. Come here." Tobirama murmurs, and Hashirama comes down into his arms, his sobs silent now rather than drawn out into overdramatic wails, his face buried in Tobirama's shoulder rather than pulling elaborate faces; perhaps Tobirama shouldn't allow this, but he cannot bear to turn away his brother when he hurts so - when he needs Tobirama so.
fill: Hannibal NBC, Will/Hannibal
Will takes anything Hannibal gives him gladly, and Hannibal gives whatever Will wants him to give him; it's a good system, all in all, but it doesn't deny the fact that, when they're having sex and Hannibal pulls out a blade, his eyes glinting, he can't help but think for a second that this is where he kills him.
"I just wanted to cut you," Hannibal says at a panicked, hyperventilating Will, "like, sexily."
This is so dumb I'm so sorry
[Miraculous Ladybug] middle of a railroad track
"From the department of 'Father needs to do his own dirty work'," Adrien tells Lila (grumpily, and loudly enough that Alya sees Mylène's and Marinette's heads turn), "and please don't shoot the messenger: you're not getting a second chance to misuse our proprietary et cetera and so forth, and you're fired."
Lila's hand flies to her throat: "I didn't lose it—someone stole it, I bet Marinette stole it—"
"Why don't you take that up with my father," Adrien says, icy and stiff and entirely too Gabriel-like; then he glances across the courtyard at Marinette, and down at Lila's other hand on his arm, and sighs, shoulders loosening, and says "I'll talk to him—I can't make any promises, but I might be able to get him to keep you in the photoshoots and modeling and other public-facing stuff, and that's the part you care about, right?"
