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.

Too cute! It must have been a rather long audience if Edmund had to wait for the Goat to recover every time he keeled over.

Oh, this is wonderful! I love CJ and Danny, and this seems like the kind of conversation the two of them could have had at any point in the show. Thank you for the fill!

Thank you! That goat was actually the best. There was nothing about its presence that I didn't love.

Thank you so much! Their break-up was absolutely devastating, so my head-canon requires that they reunite in Istanbul. I'm very glad that their reunion felt realistic to you!

Thank you for the prompt! I loved writing the fill for it! Since we never got a canon reunion (much to my dismay), I'm so glad to hear that you liked this take on a possible future for Willow and Oz. Thank you!

Poor Hermione (and Ron)! This is so heartbreaking for both of them. Thank you for the fill!

Re: Willow Rosenberg and the Sorting Ceremony (Buffy the Vampire Slayer Hogwarts AU)

[personal profile] tiny_white_hats 2013-03-24 04:02 pm (UTC)(link)
I definitely consider myself a Ravenclaw, because I'm big into nerdy, intellectual things. The rest of my head canon is alternately very specific and really vague, as I've spent a lot of time wondering about Sorting and none about who's wand would be what. But it involves Oz spending full moons in the Shrieking Shack, Buffy being captain of the (Quidditch Cup winning) Gryffindor quidditch team, Tara being the charms professor and head of Hufflepuff, Xander being muggle born, Willow being the best in her year at potions, Wesley, Fred, Ethan Rayne, and Anya as professors (DADA, Arithmancy, Transfiguration, and Muggle Studies, respectively), and Cordelia as Gryffindor's prefect, and later Head Girl. I'm really starting to actually want to write this, now.

That was adorable! This makes me wonder what mayhem they caused this time. Thank you for the fill!

Longer than Edmund was expecting, I'm sure. :D I'm glad you liked it!

So you did! But *sob* anyway....

[personal profile] betony 2013-03-24 07:39 pm (UTC)(link)
This is heartbreaking but beautiful, just so you know--him kneeling at her feet and being so sweet (and of course their one kid has just died unexpectedly, and *sob* for that, too) and her realizing what's going on but wanting to shield him (and perhaps herself, too) from it just a bit longer and-and--
*sniffle* This is lovely, that is all.

OMG how much do I love this? The disparity between myth!Hercules and Disney!Hercules's fates always bothered me given that Disney!Hercules is such a sweetheart, and apparently I have needed this fic with its pitch-perfect, mocking Meg for years. Thank you! ♥ ♥ ♥

This is so how it would happen.

Yes. I love that DWJ's characters so often behave in dreadful--or even just selfish--ways for quite understandable reasons; even her selfless characters don't behave that way because it's easy, or it comes naturally to them, but because they feel they have to!
(:D Absolutely she did! Headcanon accepted.)
