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

[rthstewart]

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 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?
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:

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!

Oxford Time Travel Universe crossover with any fandom; any character; past, present and future walked into a bar (it was tense)

I don't have a fill, but I had to compliment that prompt pun. Perfect, thank you for that :D

Doomsday Book/Doctor Who (s12 spoilers)

Kivrin only travels with the Doctor for a few weeks - relatively speaking, obviously. At first she thinks the Doctor's blank refusal to visit 1348 Oxford might be a race thing (but the Doctor proudly walks any time and place like she owns it), or that she might be worried about catching the plague herself (but she's not human); then the Doctor tries to explain about paradoxes, about fixed points in time, about timelines that can't be allowed to fracture.

And Kivrin decides fuck that; now that she knows how full of holes time is, she'll find some other way to at least save one of the girls.

Oh Kivrin :((((( Kivrin vs. The pitfalls of Dr Who logic is a cage fight I would absolutely watch.

Thank you. I am kind of tempted to write a longer version of this. We'll see.

Lord Peter Wimsey (Nine Tailors)

"And so," the Reverend Venables continued, "if you would be so kind as to welcome Mr. Dunworthy--a professor from Oxford, I'm told, very eminent--it is of course a rare honor for our town to be graced by two such personages. Dunworthy, we would be delighted by your presence at the Pentecost quarter-peal--I'm afraid it's nothing more than Plain Bob Minor, you see, but Lord Wimsey has put in such remarkable effort as a substitute that we fear too much to tax his mental faculties with something strenuous, the cases he busies himself with are entirely too melancholic for such an august fellow."

Dunworthy, being a pious man, restrained himself from taking the name of the savior in vain.
