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.

Ha, romantic-advice giving Persephone just seemed appropriate somehow - like, this poor girl wanders into her kingdom asking for some of her beauty in a box, Persephone has to be like 'ok, wtf.'

Thank you - this is simply lovely. It encapsulates how much Mary has grown and changed, especially in how she views Dickon :)

I love this! Hades as archeologist, hearing the stories of the dead, and Persephone loving the living world. Gorgeous!

Lovely! and fun! :D

*g* I adore the Amelia Peabody books and baby!Ramses is a total hoot. It was fun to write him. I'm very happy this made you giggle! :D

Howl is ridiculous and he knows it, but he still thinks he's awesome. Which is part of why he is. Thank you!

Gosh, I don't know, it's been a while since I read it actually--but I can easily imagine Howl a) feigning reluctance to provide food for his wife and child and b)being genuinely afraid of what Sophie will do to him after he turned her into a cat. She's a scary lady, and he is a coward.

(And thank you! Abdullah's dialogue is a treat to write. Some people find it annoying, but they have no poetry in their souls.)

This is perfect. I'm an (occasional) dog breeder (of hounds very much like these) and everything you write is so very true.

Yup, that hubris is a certain ticket to a painful death, apparently. The thing with Arachne appalled me even when I was too young to grasp what hubris was, because you'd think a goddess of wisdom would be less... petty.

I'm also interested in what Daphne's parents (whoever you choose to think they are) would have to say afterwards...

(No, but now I have, and it's lovely. I'm such a sucker for mythological motifs in song; Anaïs MItchell's Hadestown is probably one of the most played albums on my iPod...)
