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.

We do not mingle, but still we speak, rising the distance through this brightly painted box.

We are the evidence of prayers, of deals, of deeds, the annunciation of history, one trailing the other.

I will wait for you.

She lifts from the ashes like a phoenix reborn, black puffs curling into a dance all her own. He watches, still and silent over his humble candle, and falls in love. She is strong while he is weak but, if she'd have him, he'd be her white knight.

FACEPALM I got so caught up in the "white smoke/black smoke" part that I COMPLETELY missed "conclave" until now. WHOOPS.

I once wrote a poetry cycle on the Sistine Chapel, so though I'm far from Catholic, it's a subject close to my heart. Glad you liked it!

"Roberts" had seemed a perfectly viable surname at first, but it didn't work. Foolhardy adventurers were flabbergasted that a woman was commanding the dire ship, and they were too easy to knock out.

So she changed her name, just to give them fair warning.

That sounds AMAZING.

Yeah I'm having issues with how many Catholicism feels this whole Lenten conclave thing is giving me after an intense period of de-catholicization :D But art/poetry surrounding religion and all that goes along with it are so emotive.

This is so lovely! I can just see them now, with a sort of warrior/scholar dynamic.

I've thought about posting it in my lj several times, as it really is fanfic of a sort. Maybe I will.

I love history and art with a passion, so while I have many problems with religion overall, it's hard not to have feels about it, when it's so inextricably tangled up in what I love!

Desmond loses a lot of things for time to time. He loses himself in New York at sixteen, and he loses Lucy when he can’t save her, and he’s pretty sure he’s lost his mind a long time ago.

Now Desmond reaches for the pedestal and for the first time in his life, he feels like he’s finally won something.
