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.

Parvati went along with it because it was foretold. Foretold in pig entrails and sodden lumps of tea leaves, but that had no effect on destiny. Or on the sweetness of Lavender's lips.

For the longest time, Bing's only friend was his sister -- she would tell him that his other friends only liked him for their money so often that he began to believe it. That is, until Darcy came along; he could be a little overbearing at times, but he was loyal, and fun to be around. He took Bing under his wing, showing him what a true friend was like, taking charge of things in a sort of comfortable familiarity; it was okay, though, he knew how to follow a lead.

(I'm answering my own prompt because I'm cool like that.)

There wasn’t a time in Maria’s life when Lizzie wasn’t always there; it was probably lying if Maria said growing up she never felt jealous of how close Charlotte and Lizzie were, how her big sister shared more with her best friend than with Maria, even though sometimes she couldn’t decide whether the “big sister” in question was even supposed to be Charlotte or Lizzie. But as much as Lizzie shared with Charlotte and even her own sisters, there was one thing that had always just been exclusively a Maria-and-Lizzie-thing.

So at Collins and Collins, convincing Charlotte to call Lizzie wasn’t just about Charlotte and Lizzie, it was as much about Maria and Lizzie, because Maria wanted to call Lizzie and gush about latest episodes of Doctor Who without opening old wounds, because Maria wanted to invite Lizzie over for movie marathons in the holidays without feeling guilty and making sure Charlotte was out of the house (and let’s face it, it wasn’t as if she could keep Charlotte out for the entire run of Harry Potter).

Back in England, Eustace would wonder when he started to believe in Aslan; his cousins never asked, because one did not ask such questions, one only believed. But he was Eustace, he wondered; even the Undragoned couldn’t do away with questioning things that appear out of thin air right away.

Yet surely it was the moment he took to the air as a dragon and all worries and fear abandoned him, the wind filling him with joy instead, that he believed, because who else but the most divine could love him enough to hold him up so and not let him fall?

Names are not just designations or titles given at birth.

Both Beauty and the Beast know well that names are not always given, but are chosen.

They also know that it is the chosen names that linger while others fade away.

They stood there looking at the figure before them.

I ONCE WORKED FOR A FARMER, IF THAT IS WHAT YOU MEAN BY -

"Never mind - it's just a metaphor," said Susan; she nodded to Binky, who trotted to her side.

AH, I SEE - IS A METAPHOR ONE OF THOSE CLACKS PEOPLE ARE TALKING ABOUT THESE DAYS?
