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.

Well done - that 'nearly' is spot on.

Often we are at cross-purposes. One is trying to tell a story eloquently, with a play of light on the wall and monochrome images miming; gesture is the only language.
Then the child must needs shriek, or the engine snarl, or the man's gun fire - ratatat-tat! - and I ask you, must the vulgar crowd always ruin the delicate, the suggestive and subtle, with its demands for noise?

This worship they demand, this sacrifice, cannot hold. Choice is the purest benediction, and Orual does not choose to give up her sister to a cold illusion, and that choice is as sacred as Psyche's body laid out on a mountain.

"Light the lamp," she urges her sister, and she knows that if the gods want to keep their hold on the world, they will accept whatever she chooses to give them.

For the LONGEST time, I could have sworn the "No Turian Food In This Fridge" sticker was actually a "Stop Putting Marauder Heads In This Freezer They Are Not Trophies" sticker and couldn't stop snickering every time I walked by it.

Under those circumstances, I guess the cold decalibrating the guns is the least of anybody's concerns?

"Are you fucking kidding me?" Jeff sneers, wiping the dirt from his hands onto his full-bodied pink skirt.

The horse is long gone; Mike picks himself up from the mud, tries to scrape most of it off his breeches, and scowls up at Jeff. "I didn't ask for this either, your ~highness~, so if it's all right with you, let's start walking."

[jaw-droppyness] YES YES YES THIS EXACTLY you are too perfect and I don't even know how to put into words how wonderful and spine-tingling this fill is but it gives me ALL THE RELIGIOUS FEELS! And the sacrifice and choice and benediction and slwkerjweorij I can't even.

And then I read that Lewis was working on Orual for 35 years and the sister feels in this one are making me think of Lucy's wish for the beauty spell and if somehow there wasn't an Orual/Psyche dynamic there.

OMG I HEART THIS SO BAD AND THIS IS MY NEW HEADCANON. Lucy can't bear to lose Susan because of her beauty...she wants to save her from that terrible fate... And then there's the palace of the invisible things, the unseen god there, playing with fate, should she raise the lamp/say the spell...EEEEEE!
