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.

It used to be just my brother, but then I got older. And I needed more than a brother. And then you were there.

Blimey, he should have known better than to lose focus in the midst of Apparating. He looked around and though he had no clear idea of where he was, he couldn't help but admire the view: an endless expanse of water as blue as sapphires; clear skies and a bright sun that warmed the air around him; the soft and springy turf of grass that rolled up and down in gentle waves beneath his feet; a young woman with hair as fiery as his lying on a blanket nearby and wearing a rather short and tight skirt; and oddly enough, an old-fashioned police box that he remembered seeing from one of his father's Muggle-written history books.

In that instant, he suddenly forgot where he meant to go and approached the woman, smiling as he called out, "Hello, ginger!"

This is what I like about Petunia. She's petty and awful but sometimes the love manages to get a quick look through all the rest.

She may have merely been a lowly servant but she held herself better than that: she learned to ignore all the whispers and stares from the women she passed on the streets, feigning a slight loss of hearing when she stood to close to them as they queued up to buy bread from the baker or meat from the butcher.

She knew what they said about her and what they thought of her husband but she knew he was innocent, that it was all Vera's doing.

She knew and so she held her head high, biding her time and her tongue, knowing that one day, the proof will come and he will return home to her, and to Downton.

More coherently, this is so Gawain and Terence's cranky, long-suffering, absolutely adorable relationship in a nutshell. Thank you so much:)

She never seemed to run, or shout, or play in puddles. Everyone in the house wondered how the child of two such rfirebrands could be more interested in tea parties and frilly dresses and balls than adventures and mischief (although a fair few people sighed in relief).

But when the son of a visiting earl deliberately tracked mud all through the house and was rude to the servants about it, she upended a bottle of ink on his prissy blond head without batting an eye.

"I once dyed my hair green," Anne confessed with a grin.

"With the black hair dye, right?!" Amy asked excitedly. "Same here!"
