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.

DOOMED LOVE YES. Somehow that's always the best - loving from afar, loving and leaving, loving and not wanting to leave but having to let go....*sigh* indeed.

A thousand years pass before they meet again. Malik stops and stares, almost falling over when the subway lurches forward and images of blue skies and a tall gray castle flash through his mind.

The man catches his arm, somehow knowing not to grab for a hand that isn’t there, and says with a bright, breathless laugh, “I think we’ve met before-“ and Malik can't remember where either, but he holds on tight and starts to laugh too.

Helen knows her, knows that iridescent loveliness, and so knowing stands in helpless awe before the old woman — the guise even more beautiful and terrible than the others somehow, raising a blush to Helen’s face and wringing her heart. Something tugs at Helen’s robes, and then the familiar whisper is in Helen’s ear, the voice that can render Helen breathless no matter the words.

“Don’t make me regret you,” says Aphrodite with her usual sweet smile, and the breath against Helen’s neck is as gentle as a warm sea breeze.

"Perhaps," he suggested, "it would be best if you stay away from thy neighbors."

Mercutio grinned, turning on his heel and leaving the baths. "That die has long been thrown, cuz."

Yoshitaka had grown weary of motormouth Shindou filling the silence with his idle chatter over the years. So when he had been assigned to show Ko Yeong-ha around the institute, it was a relief that he hadn't seemed too inclined to fill the silence between him pointing out the different rooms. Then again, talking too much wasn't usually an issue when you didn't share a common language.

Sometimes she wakes, gasping, from dreams she can barely recall on waking--joy in the coolness of earth between her toes, laughter wheeling high and bright as the hawks overhead as she dances hand-in-hand with foxes and fauns and dryads, unafraid between the bright-steel flourishes of centaur swords--to gentle hands and sweet, soft words.

"It's all right, darling, it's all right, it was only a dream," he murmurs, smoothing her hair back from her forehead in a gesture that aches with tenderness, and pretending not to notice the tears she never sheds.

Susan looks into her husband's handsome, concerned face across the wreck of their marriage bed and wonders if his eyes would seem bluer if she had never seen a Narnian sky.

All the rooms in the house are empty.

His mother and sister are--safe, he hopes, he prays, but his brothers and father are counting on him and him alone, and Ezio knows he cannot fail, cannot.

Anger shudders through him with a sick sense foreboding that he hates and is not used to, and with a steadying breath he kneels beside the hidden chest in his father's office to take up the white robes and broken blade.

Ohhh, so wonderful, anon! All of Ezio's feelings are so potent here, it makes my chest ache! Thank you!
