The 2021 Three Sentence Ficathon Is Now Closed!

[rthstewart]

WOW.  As of this morning, 3866 comments on Post 2 and 5362 comments on Post 1.

conuly 's unclaimed prompt list here

There were lots of prompts in the last 48 hours and I lost track and imagine others did as well.  If you really want someone to fill a particular prompt, and assuming they don't mind, I suggest letting them know! (I at least got overwhelmed last week so I missed a lot -- let me know if you would like something via the usual means (DM, email, etc.!!) 

You can post your works at the AO3 3SF tag (always super helpful for Yuletide bears and remixes!)

I know some folks might have gotten a bit weary with certain fandoms that weren't their favorite flavor of delicious cake but I won't (and can't) police what's posted and not.  Every year has it's own themes and fandoms and it's always an opportunity to learn about new properties and writers to explore.  This year was awful and I at least had lots of ideas for things I wanted to read and found it harder to muster the brain cells to fill anything and the volume was overwhelming at times.  But that's just the way of it.  3 SF is open for fills all year long so hopefully we can all begin to feel the brain fog lift and a return to normalcy and normal levels of creativity.  For this, I'm especially grateful to the prolific fillers who kept the rest of entertained and distracted. 

  Thank you to all who participated.  We will see you next year I hope!  I may move 3 SF to its own DW community.  I created one on DW and then didn't want to deal with it all as Feb 1 ticked down.

I didn't fill many prompts this year. But I got several ideas, saved a lot of prompts, and hope to fill them throughout 2021.

As always, a thousand thanks for running 3SF. You're a champion to do it, especially this year.

[rthstewart]

A lot of people didn't have the spoons for even 3 sentence fills, myself included. We all do the best we can, and that's more than enough. For you I hope inspiration hits for a few fills during the year. I suspect that this year, there will be more sporadic filling than in years past.

thank you!

Thank you for hosting! It's always a lot of fun. I know I want to keep filling sporadically as I have the time and energy.

[rthstewart]

Thanks so much for participating! Time and energy isn't something any of us have and I'm glad you were able to join in a bit!

[ravenlilyrose]

Thank you for doing this! I've had a lot of fun and even made some new friends!

[rthstewart]

I'm so glad you joined. Did you see it on Tumblr?

[ravenlilyrose]

Yup! I saw it on Tumblr and thought it would probably be fun and I might as well try it! And sure enough, I had a LOT of fun.

Thank you so much for this! I had an amazing time and loved seeing what kind of writers are out there! (I will definitely be checking out some ao3 pages is what I'm saying ;) I also loved the opportunity to write some things myself in this sort of low-pressure environment, so I am really grateful for that as well!

[rthstewart]

You were amazing. I didn't know you wrote as well as being an avid and generous reader and I'm so glad you joined in.

[elementalraven]

Ah well, I haven't really written like this before (or much of anything), but I figured this would be a good way to test the waters, so to speak (which it definitely was!)

[vialethe]

It was lovely to have you, both as a prompter and a writer! I always love meeting new (to me) Narnia fans who enjoy similar dynamics.

[elementalraven]

The feeling is completely mutual :)

[conuly]

I will comment here when I finally finish adding in all the prompts. You say that there was a huge rush in the last two days and boy, you're not kidding!

I posted a few prompts anonymously and they were mostly answered, so I'm pretty pleased anyway :)

[rthstewart]

Excellent!

[jinty]

I have never written any sort of prompt fill ever, and barely any fic either, and I had a blast with the bits I did! Many thanks for all your hard work :-)

[rthstewart]

I'm so glad. How did you find us?

[jinty]

Hmm, well! I’ve been reading fanfic off and on since at least 2010 when my first kid was born and there were sleepless nights with the baby etc etc. When I stumbled onto AO3 I read some Swallows and Amazons (bizarrely really, never been a fan of the canon books but still) and Narnia too. Am sure that even then I must have read some of your fic because at some point I bookmarked your work; and just in the past month or two I ended up re-reading all your Narnia (and MCU/Narnia) works and separate fics in order. I friended you on DW meaning to find a good moment to say thanks for the great fic, and ended up posting about Brazilian AU Narnia! It’s all a bit random I guess.

By the way I live in Oxford so if you want anything Brit-picked or Oxford-checked (so to speak), I am happy to advise. Not that you aren’t already getting the Oxford stuff bang on (but I might personally have tweaked a couple of phrases slightly here and there, for some of the British characters).

I was waiting for this since last years, so thanks for hosting it this year as well! I sent only prompts this time but I hope to write down something when I manage to get some me time :)

[vialethe]

Bless you for hosting, as always. I write very little these days, but somehow (obviously) the three sentence format just works for me. I always write something new - this year, it was unexpected Bridgerton, plus a little Eustace/Dany! - and come out of the month feeling wonderful. And reconnecting with the 3SF/Narnia crowd has been a real lifesaver.

I admit it would be strange to have it held somewhere other than your journal, but I'm sure it would be a lifesaver for your inbox! I think it's a good idea, overall.

[cofax7]

thank you so much for hosting it (again)! It was very fun.
