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.

The Queen of the North took the throne alone: surrounded by men sworn to her, carrying flags and singing songs of a Stark brought back to Winterfell, and yet without kin at her side.

But a woman came to her court--striding like a man, carrying a sword, clothed in breeches and smelling of hard travels--and found her way into the queen's private chambers without being spotted by a single guard.

Sansa knew her before she said a word; those grey eyes, the dirty brown of her hair, the long chin and sharp nose, all said Arya.

Continuum, Alec/Kiera, all he wants is to make her happy

Game of Thrones in spaaaaaaaaace!

[vialethe]

When the seven divisions of the fleet of Westeros begin to turn on each other, the skies grow bright with their folly, spurts of flame flying between them, leaving The Riverlands scorched and blackened, limping through space, barely still flying.

From the massive, curved greatship The Wall, Jon Snow watches the battles and the darkness behind them both, and wonders where in the wide fleet his siblings have scattered, and whether any of them will ever make contact again.

On the moon of Esos called Dothraki Sea, Dany watches the fires burn above, and smiles, for they call her home at last.

[vialethe]

This is wonderful, Jo and Laurie in the BSG verse! I love her enthusiasm, and that Laurie is so happy for her.

Re: Battlestar Galactica

[vialethe]

So chilling, knowing how it'll all turn out, once again, with everyone helpless to stop it.

[ilthit]

Thanks! Glad you liked it!

[vialethe]

Perfection, the way they're turned into nothing more than stories while still living, because that's the only concrete thing about them at that point.

[vialethe]

Yes! This is like vindication for my passions and it is fabulous.

[vialethe]

Oh, poor Bilbo. I can see this being part of why he chooses to leave The Shire and travel back to Rivendell and memories of a happier time.

[vialethe]

Naaaaaaaat. This is so perfect, that that's what gives her immunity from fear in the end, and that Clint doesn't really question it, just has faith in her.

[vialethe]

Ugh this is heartbreaking! Poor Helen, welcoming death as a release from her overwhelming guilt.

Downton Abbey IN SPAAAACE! AU #1

[shallowness]

Homeward Bound, Mary/Matthew, spoilers for the third series

Mary takes the premium shuttle back to her home moon from Londinium. She could have asked Matthew or even Edith to have flown her there and back in one of the family’s fleet of spacecraft, but then there would have been questions that she didn’t want to answer. The treatment is complete now, the nanites are fully integrated and she is assured that her body will be able to carry the next Crawley to term.

[renquise]

Ahhh, oh my god, this is the loveliest thing. It's so perfectly wistful.

[shallowness]

That's true love! Delightful.

[pretty_panther]

Love brings them together. Responsibility keeps them apart. Neither ever forget the could be future they saw in the mirror.

[shallowness]

Dredd (2012), Dredd/Anderson or Dredd & Anderson, back-up,

[shallowness]

Aww, so endearing!

[wingedflight]

Yeah absolutely! Woo, the best part of this is making new friends. :D

[wingedflight]

Continuum, Alec Sadler, countdown

[wingedflight]

Oo yes. Love the look at Kiera's fierce side!

[wingedflight]

Wow, I love this!

Re: Game of Thrones in spaaaaaaaaace!

[wingedflight]

This is fantastic! I want more of this AU now - what is Arya up to, and what intergalactic trouble is Joffrey causing, etc.

[tanyart]

THREE FILLS. THANK YOU??

oh my gosh they are all so good and what I was hoping for out of a fill. GOD THOUGH THE LAST ONE. AR............

[wingedflight]

He wonders sometimes whether Kiera understands the work that goes into maintaining her systems, aiding her cases, and watching her back - not to mention catching her mistakes that come from living in a foreign time. Sometimes he wishes he could have a day to himself for video games or working on his own projects without interruption, but he'll never tell her that. Not when she's depending on him, not when he's the only one who could help (and why wouldn't he?).

[ar]

FOR YOU, TANYA, THE WORLD. Also, Ptolemy is my #1 sad baby I could write about him all day. D:

I'm glad you like them. ♥
