Three Sentence Ficathon 2021 Update

[rthstewart]

Just an update that we'll be opening a new thread in the next day or so as we're over 4000 comments. At 5000, DW automatically starts a captcha, which is fine but a bit of a pain.  We always see a big slow down when we jump to a new post so if you've been hanging back and feeling overwhelmed, that's a great time to start.  But again, I want to emphasize, start at the last page and go back until you find something and always, always make sure you're reading at "top-level comments only."  Both will help immeasurably. 

A huge thanks, again, toconuly who is maintaining a list of unclaimed prompts.

Our word cloud is below. I'm kinda loving the Luke/Din there which I'm embarrassed to say never occurred to me.  I really do fail at shipping.     Never change, friends, never change. 

I've got fingers crossed for forthcoming historical prompts and fills fromvialethe vialethe  and betony .

If you've got a problem, please drop a line.  You can anon your comments below or find me on Tumblr, Twitter, AO3, the pit of voles, or gmail all at rthstewart.

Some other observations

• I've been getting some notices of new DW accounts being created! Which is terrific. I can create a friending meme so everyone can start adding one another to your accounts.  Edit to add here is the link.
• Lots of open, fandom unspecified prompts.
• Lots of Old Guard and Untamed, both to be expected. Not as much Supernatural, which surprises me. 
• A whole lot of Hamlet and Narnia -- we're very focused.
• A lot of reclaiming of Harry Potter via fix it fic, and angry fills, in the sense of characters expressing anger at their situations, again to be expected. 
• Liberal ignoring of the 3 sentence limit -- carry on you wonderful people.

Awww, I'm sad. Last year I could clearly see my name in the wordcloud. This year I can't.

Fine. I'll just go write more fic.

[rthstewart]

YES YOU GO DO THAT.

[vialethe]

Oh dear, I've been CALLED OUT.

(I've got high hopes for post 2 as well!)

[rthstewart]

Well, it's pretty much an OT3 for me, Vialethe/Betony/Historical RPF 3SF fills

[vialethe]

Hey, we do a lot of mythology fills too!

Is mine in there? I can't see it if it is but my eyesight's gone to pot.

I'm sorry to say, it looks like the birthday fic link for the ever-excellent Conuly, as posted in the body of the second 3SF post, is borked. I get a page not found thingie.
