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.

Sorry about the vagueness -- this one's a twisty, enigmatical source to write for! It doesn't help that the first time I read W&E, I was just sure it was about werewolves. (I still may be just a wee bit convinced of that fact.)

Thank you for the fill! Eustace and Reepicheep are hilarious together, and you did such an excellent job in showing that humor!

If ever she had dreamed of what her life would be like ten years after she joined the abbey, this would not have been it. Smiling, she looks around at all of her children; all eight or nine of them now, and remembers the difficulties she originally had with them, falling in love with the Captain, the flight from the Nazis, and the eventual trip back to Austria. No, this wasn't quite what she had had in mind, but seeing it now, she wouldn't trade it for the world.

SG-1, team, fireworks


They met in Washington that year, gathered on the back deck of Jack's Alexandria house for steaks and beers, coming together with such ease it could almost be 1999 again, and Jacob and Selmak were just late. But Jack's hair was now entirely white, Sam's was past her shoulders (and curled for the occasion), and Teal'c had, shockingly, gone grey at his temples.

Daniel stood on the deck and watched the fireworks over the river, and nudged Sam with his elbow: "You made much bigger explosions."

When Diana was twelve she dreamed of having a very best chum she could share everything with: one who listened when she complained disloyally about her mother, and walked with her when Ruby and Josie were linking arms and whispering on the path ahead.

She had barely known Anne ten minutes before that imagined friend had dissipated on the air like the poor and inadequate shade she was.

Diana's imagination could never have been good enough for her to dream of Anne Shirley.

When he runs his hands through the deep black of her hair, they come away with bits of down clinging to the tips, caught on the ragged edges of his nails.

He laughs and says they must need new bedding, for theirs is shedding, and soon their bed will look like a bird's nest, a soft explosion of feathers like a fresh coating of snow.

He does not notice her pained look, the strain in her wide eyes; he does not notice the red threads in their new bedding either, not until she's flown away, leaving only her downy feathers as proof she was ever his.



(omg I LOVE that song cycle!!)

Aww, poor childless Caspian.

(Which does make me wonder: what did he think was going to happen if nobody found Rilian? And then I have to wonder about the AU in which Rilian wasn't found...)
