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.

They've stripped down, and Cordelia feels like she laid bare more than just skin.

"Don't think this means anything," she says, and Xander snorts derisively, like the thought would have never occured to him, but his eyes as he takes her in tell a different story.

Afterwards, Cordelia isn't sure if she regrets it or not, but she knows it's going to happen again.

Richard would never be free of Denna, never quite stop loving his Mistress, though he told himself his heart burned with desire only for Kahlan.

Denna could never be free of Richard, of what he'd done, of what he'd set in motion, of how he'd ruined her life.

It was a match made in the Underworld, that they'd be never together but never truly apart, locked in an eternal and unforgiving and unholy matrimony.

Amanda understood the dangers of working in war torn areas abroad, or gang controlled areas of American cities, but Sunnydale was so small and charming that the warning from her med school about "worrying levels of violence witnessed in and around Sunnydale General" had to be an exaggeration, and so she took an internship there anyway.

Her first night shift saw her witness a vampire murder an orderly right in front of her, and he would have come for her too except for the petite blonde who staked him without hesitation.

Amanda transferred out the next week and posted a warning of her own on every social media account she had, hoping to spare others the same fate.

Susan's eyes widened as she took in the gold, fine clothing, and exotic animals that paraded before her. All of these were for her? she wondered, and voiced her thought out loud.

Rabadash nodded, dark eyes gleaming, a knowing smirk on his face.

"What else did I say?"

"No, nothing, you didn't say anything else."

But it's not like he can't tell when Liam is lying.

Assassin's Creed, Charles Lee & Connor

[personal profile] mustachio 2013-03-18 03:59 pm (UTC)(link)
It all comes down to this; finding his greatest enemy alone in a tavern, broken, bitter.

It all comes down to this; Connor, too exhausted to be able to continue this any longer, and Charles Lee, too broken and distraught over the death of his beloved mentor to maintain the will to live, even for the Order.

It all comes down to this; Charles's shrug, his unspoken invitation "well, might as well get it over with" and Connor's knife tearing a hole through Charles's heart.

Of course River would see things that way, and make it a dance! And of course Jayne doesn't get it at all - his reaction is perfect. Thanks!
