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.

A girls' school gathers around its staff stories of romance and tragedy, embellished and passed from student to student in hushed whispers as the objects of their attention hand out demerits or read out poetry, and Miss Pevensie, who had been very beautiful and whose departure had been very mysterious, attracted more than most. There were those who insisted that the handsome RAF man, long presumed dead, whose picture hung in her study, had finally returned for her with the long-promised ring; still others argued that she had been whisked away to fight the Soviets, as everyone knew she had parachuted into France during the war.

But perhaps the strangest story was one that the head girl told--that one night, very late, she had been been watching out her window as an older, silver-haired man rode up to the front gate on a white horse; that Miss Pevensie had walked out of the same gate, wearing her best dress and carrying her very best bow; and that he had kissed her hand, and she had taken his arm, and with the horse nosing along behind them they had walked away from the school toward the apple grove along the road, where they had vanished into the night.

spoilers for finale


When it's just Parker, Hardison and Eliot, they don't argue much, but when they do, it's about whether to do the risky thing or the safe thing.

At first, they try to solve it by majority rules but Hardison almost quit from being caught between the other two every time; then they tried to guess what Nate would do. Finally, they learned to talk it over, and to ask which choice would be picked by the kind of person they each hope to someday be; that's the method that sticks.

I especially liked the detail about Edith, actually. Autumn's my favorite season but oh, ouch, that fits poor Edith so well.
