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."

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.

fill: House MD/Untitled Goose Game, House+Cuddy
The goose honks, poking at House with its beak, a cacophony of honking resonating over the hospital.
"Do you really think I'd let this *thing* peck me just to bother you with the noise?" House exclaims, but without even looking at Cuddy he knows she does think he'd do that — but this time, he really didn't.

Doctor Who/Goose Game, Five, Nyssa, Tegan
"I honestly have no----" the Time Lord was cut off mid-thought by the sounds of footsteps and rather annoyed honking from the other end of the console room.
"SOMEBODY GET THIS THING OFF ME!" exclaimed Tegan; the feathered stowaway perched on her head.
Fill: Yakuza 0/Untitled Goose Game, Kiryu
When he returned to the office sometime later, he was regaled with a series of phoned-in complaints about his newest employee that included: the Leisure King’s interrupted Karaoke session, the Electronics King’s stolen arcade coins, the Pleasure King’s ripped dress, the Gambling King’s disappeared lucky dice, and the Media King’s ruined perfect disco combo.
Kiryu listened to the report with a stern expression, but in his mind, there was only one thought: That goose deserves a raise.
Herbert - Good Omens - Aziraphale/Crowley
"Dunno, angel." Crowley tapped away at his phone, only just sparing a glance for the white-feathered menace driving customers away from the front door of A.Z. Fell & Co. "Jealous that a little bird's doing a better job of scaring off people than you do?"
"That's absurd," Aziraphale muttered, and he went grumbling back to his desk.
Crowley held up his phone and snapped a picture of the goose snatching a man's car keys out of his hand. "I think I'm going to call him Herbert."
"We are not naming the goose!"
