3 Sentence Ficathon

[rthstewart]

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 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  lady_songsmith explains, for the 2011 3 Sentence Ficathon, grim_lupine created a delicious account to archive the 3 Sentence Ficathon.   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.

This is really powerful. You captured their relationship in three lines. I agree with Lbi. You're a writer.

[betony]

Greek Mythology, Aerope, I owe you no explanation (but here it is)

[mews1945]

So moving. I love the way you included sensory elements into it, to make it more real.

Re: Journey's End

[mews1945]

Oh, this is beautiful. Perfect.

Re: Three Sentence Fic prompt

[mews1945]

Absolutely right. Sherlock's fridge is dangerous territory.

[betony]

Greek Mythology, Alcestis & Eurydice, the nature of true love

[mustachio]

"Ratohnhaké:ton, stop moving so much, you're going to tip th--"

"Ratohnhaké:ton where did you--"

And in the split second between hands grabbing at his legs and those hands dragging him under, Kanen’tó:kon swears he will never go canoeing with Ratohnhaké:ton again.

[betony]

Greek Mythology, Clytemnestra and Orestes, always I loved you

[betony]

Haikyuu!!, any/any, lockerroom chatter

[mustachio]

He doesn't look up to acknowledge her presence when she enters the room, gaze focused steadily on the two empty beds before him; he still doesn't acknowledge her when she rests a hand on his shoulder, the comfort of the gesture lost on him now.

Yet, for all the lack of acknowledgment, she remains. They are allies, and though his battle is not a tangible one, she has never been one to abandon her allies in their time of need.

[hostilecrayon]

Any, Any, it all comes down to this

[lizzardgirl]

Afterwards, as we lie side by side, panting, you look at me and I see the question in your eyes. Why me, they ask, and the answer is easy. 'The others, they see only the pink hair, or they try to find me beneath the pink hair, but you saw me, pink hair and all, just like I was, and I was whole.'

[betony]

Any, any, you use your heart as a weapon

[betony]

Sylvester (Georgette Heyer), Phoebe(/Sylvester), the long-awaited sequel to The Lost Heir

[tinpra]

Lovely. I like what isn't said almost more than what is.

[betony]

Devil's Cub (Georgette Heyer), Dominic/Mary, what's sauce for the goose
