NEW POST FOR PROMPTS AND RESPONSES - Three Sentence Ficathon Part 2

THE THREE SENTENCE FICATHON FOR 2020 IS OFFICIALLY OVER! 
PLEASE DON'T POST ANY NEW PROMPTS!
SAVE NEW PROMPTS FOR NEXT YEAR!
DON'T POST NEW PROMPTS AS THEY ARE UNLIKELY TO GET ANY LOVE. 
DO CHECK OUT EXISTING PROMPTS AND KEEP FILLING THEM AND COMMENTING ON THEM!  (Seriously,  I still get notifications of 3SF fills from the exchange last year!  I'll get them all year and that's great.  But posting a new prompt isn't likely to get any attention and, at some point, we all move on in our lives (until next year!).

A huge thanks to [personal profile] conuly  for posting and updating all unfilled prompts in a separate post.  Link below.

Thank you everyone and we'll see you next year!

THIS IS THE NEW POST FOR PART 2 OF THE 3 SENTENCE FICATHON -- ALL NEW PROMPTS SHOULD BE POSTED HERE



Welcome to the Three Sentence Ficathon!

At over 4600 comments and responses to Entry 1, it's time to move to Entry 2.  Please post all new prompts and responses here.  You can still respond to and comment on old prompts here.

To that end, the incomparable
[Unknown site tag]conuly has collected all unfilled prompts, organized them by fandom, and linked them back so you can search that list for anything that you missed and fill it!!! a huge thanks for doing this [Unknown site tag]conuly!!

Please post all your new and unfilled prompts here.

What is the 3 Sentence Ficathon?
T
his 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:

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. 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.

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.


Here, have some icons and banners and let me know if you've created your own!

Carmen - Good Omens - Aziraphale/Crowley

[personal profile] mad_madam_m 2020-02-17 05:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Aziraphale pouted. "Oh, but they're doing Carmen again this weekend!"

Crowley sighed. "Aziraphale, we saw it last month. And the month before that. And several times a year before that, for several years before that, all the way back to the 1950s. And I know for a fact you were at the premiere in Paris in 1875!"

"But the music is just wonderful." Aziraphale turned wide, pleading eyes on Crowley. "And the costumes are glorious and this is a production we haven't seen before. Besides, don't you just love 'Votre toast, je peux vous le rendre'? And 'L'amour est un oiseau rebelle'?*"

Six thousand years of knowing each other, and Crowley had yet to develop the ability to say no to Aziraphale when he looked like that. "Oh, fine, I'll get us tickets."

*These arias are better known as the Toreador Song and Habanera.

Shared Eternity (Kamisama Kiss; Tomoe/Akura Ou)

[personal profile] kalira 2020-02-19 04:50 am (UTC)(link)
"Do you have a better suggestion for how to spend eternity?" Akura Ou asks with his bright, gleeful grin, fangs bared, and Tomoe laughs. He has always been more one for hedonism than terror and conquest, but . . . it pleases Akura Ou, and it passes the time in entertaining fashion.

Besides, he thinks, as he takes to the air in a wave of blue fire, in a shared eternity, there will be plenty of time for both.

“Okay, that’s enough – Graham will never let us hear the end of it if we’re late because we were playing history’s longest ever game of Monopoly.”

“Bah, this is nothing; I once played a game on Umbeka that lasted a decade – or was it a century? You’re just saying that because you’re four turns away from mortgaging Mayfair.”

Better Ways (Captain Harlock (movie); Harlock/Yama)

[personal profile] kalira 2020-03-05 01:29 am (UTC)(link)
Harlock raised his glass in a silent toast, eyes straying along the dark lines of his ship - his oldest friend.

He was just raising it to his lips when he was surprised to have it lifted from his hand, the red brandy rippling as the glass moved. He looked up to see Yama standing over him, giving him a soft smile.

"Don't you think there are better ways to spend eternity?" Yama asked, and took a sip, and put the glass down before taking a step back, eye on Harlock.

Harlock rose and followed him willingly, the reason his heart was lighter than it had been in a hundred years.

lotr, legolas & gimli

"Go rest master dwarf, I'll keep watch now" said Legolas placing a hand on Gimli's shoulder.

The dwarf thanked his companion and was about to head to the sleeping spot Boromir and the hobbits already shared when he couldn't help himself and asked, "What do you keep in that pocket?" looking at the small pocket on the elf's quiver.

Legolas kept scanning the horizon.

"Oh you heard me, lad. What you have in there? A gift from some past lover?" chuckled the dwarf, even more curious now.

Legolas stifled a laugh. "No, not such a thing"

"Then what?"

He watched closely as the elf opened the pocket and took out what looked like a book - some folded papers, roughly held together, along with a thick blackish stick.

"Since I left my land I keep track of all new and weird things I come across" he said browsing it "I take a few notes, just an habit " he added.

Gimli nodded in approval but noticed an odd drawing near each note, "What about this bizarre creature?"

"Well, if I must say, I amuse myself by imagining how my father would react to such things, and I draw his face"

The dwarf burst out laughing.

"Hilarious"
