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.

Poor Tom, still trying to figure out where he belongs now that he married above his station.

(And I really love your icon. Lady Edith has become my favorite of the Crawley sisters.)

It's going to be interesting to watch what happens next with Tom.

(I only found the pretty. birdienl (on livejournal) made it - and eek! I see she's not properly credited by me. Edith has grown on me so much.)

If the team could see him now cooing over these creatures just so Connor and Abby could have a night out. Rex lands beside him at looks at him reproachfully for paying too much attention to Nancy but really he was happy to let them have a night out. It's the least he can do after the hellish year they went through and he's sort of missed the annoying diictodons, they've left his apartment a little neater but also a little quieter.

Casey knows he's being intimidating but it's fun to watch Grimes stammer and squirm as he asks for Alex's hand in marriage. His beautiful daughter is very much her own woman and saying no would probably make her elope meaning he wouldn't get to walk her down the aisle.

Realizing Morgan has stopped speaking Casey crosses his arms and glares at him, "you can ask but I don't even need to tell you what I'd do if you ever hurt her but I see the way she looks at you so I guess I'm going to be your father-in-law and I need you to do everything you can to make her happy, that's the mission, Grimes."

Great fill, can see Daryl keeping his cool in this sort of situation.

A second fill, if that's okay.
Warning: Suicide

It's always a bit of lottery this bizarre form of self-harm but he especially needs it tonight so Jack puts the do not disturb sign on the door and the silencer on his gun. Sometimes he meets Stephen or Estelle and often it's victims he failed to save but sometimes, the best times, it's Ianto and he cherishes every one of those moments. When it is Ianto that appears he'll usually scold Jack for not looking after himself or try to lift him from his dark moods but without fail there are those gorgeous eyes and stunning smile, beautiful even when tinged with sadness, so it's worth the chance and settling on the bed he makes a wish before pulling the trigger.

Batteries of all things gain him Danny's respect and if he'd known it was that easy he'd have saved himself a lot of stress. Working alone has its advantages but being a very necessary part of this team and feeling wanted here does wonders for his confidence and makes him feel great.

His father though is a different story and one night he confides in Rusty who says the legendary Bobby Caldwell is probably threatened by Linus outdoing him, some days he can sort of see that but still he craves the approval he's never likely to receive and instead tries to garner as much praise as he can from Danny and Rusty to fill the bottomless void.

Ooh, the Sorting Hat's words and the description in a voice like doors creaking shut, were perfect. And the details of everyone else in this 'verse were great.

Yessss, it makes sense that Olive would empathise so much with Lydia, who was one of the more radical changes to the story and had to grow up online in such painful way. I like how Olive is both analysing and empathising here, that her responces are nuanced.

A belated thank you for writing this!
