3 Sentence Ficathon


3 Sentence Ficathon Banner

EDIT!  THIS POST IS NOW CLOSED TO NEW PROMPTS,  PLEASE POST NEW PROMPTS
HERE!

CaramelSilver isn’t running the awesome 3 sentence ficathon this year, but she said I could do it in her place!!  (Banner courtesy of CaramelSilver and thanks so much!)

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?
You post prompts!  When posting a prompt please format it this way:

fandom, character/pairing, prompt word/sentence.

Only one prompt per comment please.

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 allowed. 

I'm not a member of Dreamwidth
No problem.  You can comment anonymously or through open ID

Can anyone play?
Yes!  Please pimp this to your flist, I'd like as many as possible to come and participate!

I'm cross-posting to LJ but we will keep all prompts and fills here, so they are in one awesome place (and with less spam). 

Here's a link for spreading the word to all your friends and comms (thanks [personal profile] snacky !)




How long can it go? 
CaramelSilver kept the 2011 3 Sentence Ficathon up for a month.  I'd suggest closing it on Sunday, April 7, 2013.  How does that sound? (edit:  If we reach 5,000 comments sooner, I'll start a new one).

Are there any rules about cross-posting?
Nope, you can post wherever you want, whenever you want.  Last year, a lot of folks collected their responses together and posted them on AO3 under the 3 sentence fiction tag.

Gosh who are all these people writing such great prompts and fills?
Good question!  Come to the friending meme and introduce yourself if you like.

As  [personal profile] lady_songsmith explains, for the 2011 3 Sentence Ficathon, [livejournal.com profile] grim_lupine created a delicious account to archive the 3 Sentence Ficathon.   [personal profile] lady_songsmith has reactivated the archive on delicious for this challenge, so, here is the account (nothing current added yet, though): https://previous.delicious.com/3sentence She asks that if anyone would be willing to help knock down the backlog of the prolific-ness thus far, let her know!!  (She adds:  I know folks are kinda down on delicious with the changes, but, hey, it's an archive already set up with useful tags!)

On the subject of archiving, I really encourage people to collect and post their fills elsewhere.  That way, we can find your work more easily again, redundancy is always good and it's really useful for future remixes and other challenges and gift exchanges you might participate in. I'll start a linking post so that if you do collect all your fills and post them on your own blog or an archive like AO3, you can give give us the link in comments.

Lyanna is furious when her father and brothers assume that Rhaegar carried her off against her will (and never mind that she's better at swordplay than Rhaegar ever dreamt of being) and when her arrogant fiancé decides that Rhaegar raped her--she snorts at this--and that her fleeing with Rhaegar, for whom she cares deeply, is all about Robert's pain and Robert's pointless pride.

But the longer she spends with Rhaegar, the more he--fearful that she'll be caught or captured or hurt--tries to keep her locked away in a tower, like a jet and ruby bracelet in the Hand's Treasury, like robes of white velvet and pearlescent gray silk that are too fine to wear even on feast days. He does not understand that she needs to fence, to ride, to run, to smell grass and grain and the sharp scent of snow on the north wind; that she cannot be pent up away from the world, chained to needle and tapestry and embroidery; that she is no tame songbird from the south, but a wild hawk who will not be broken; and that as much as she loves him (and she does, oh, she does), that love is no replacement for the self he's trying--gently, kindly and relentlessly--to take away.

Was inspired to jump in here. Hope you like the result.

The sins of the fathers are visited upon the sons, making both Gimli and Legolas determined not to trust.

They swipe at each other verbally, stopping just short of blows, making the other members of the Fellowship wonder if both will survive the journey.

But mutual enemies and a common goal bring their focus from the past to the present in hopes of creating a peaceful future that both elf and dwarf can share.

Rude doesn't respond to Reno's jibe at first, just looked warily at the huge black dog that was currently sitting in front of him, panting and reaching up with its paws to scratch at his suitpants.

"Hey, relax - at least it's not trying to bite you!" Reno continued, laughing as he turned away.

"Wish it was," you mutter, as the creature whimpers at you; you'd know how to deal with it if it was charging, but this? You'd never had a dog before, so how the hell should you know?

Dark Jewels series, Lady Rhahn, a dark and glamorous queen

(Lady Rhahn is Vae's aunt from the end of Shalador's Lady, if you're like me and have to look up her name.)

"So this is what it's like to be a ______," they say of each other, think on each other, about each other, without ever saying a word to each other as each mission winds them more tightly together. Talking to each other...that'd be too easy.

The rest of the team shake their heads, roll their eyes, eat dinner and go on.

Yes, yes, a hundred percent yes! I twitch a little bit every time that episode comes up and Winged's eyes just nearly bugged out of her head at the reminder!

I am unfortunately now picturing twitching bug-eyes, which is gross but in fact appropriate for HotG :/

Peter is pushed back...and back...and back...and back...until he is on the ground in the training yard, redfaced and puffing, sword beyond his reach and more than ready to yield. But when Ed's hand reaches down to lift him onto his feet again, he's grinning and terribly proud. "When did you get so good?"

AUcy ahahahaha. Perfect name for it. Although this isn't /really/ the Lucy from the AU, as it all takes place in Narnia - but still. Lucy + feels.

I practice that look in front of the mirror just in case anyone ever mentions HotG.

That's lovely. Sybil would jump in with both feet, but certainly Mary and Edith would finally find a place that lets them be who they are...or at least explore who they are so they can find out what that means and then, y'know, be it.

Technically, the smartest person in the room had left twenty minutes ago. There was simply no way that Holly was going to get in the middle of that argument again. There HAD to be better ways to spend an afternoon.

Oz makes these kinds of extravagant compliments (You don't know how lovely you are kinds of compliments) so easily, and Willow, unused to many compliments at all, hardly ever knows how to reply without stumbling and fumbling and generally looking like she's head over heels in love with her boyfriend. Which she is.

But one time she says, "When you say stuff like that and you look at me like it's true, then I know it is," and Oz blushes.
