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.

*nods* Yes, exactly! And the chorus was one of the most interesting--and saddest--parts of the book, and I'm glad someone addressed Penelope's feelings towards their fates. Particularly since we know that she was most likely very fond of them, and definitely considered Melantho a daughter until things got really bad.

YES. Your Captain Leia Organa is a thing that needs to exist; and which begs the question, what is Han doing during all of this? And the Force is with her nevertheless! :D :D :D

If she paused quietly at the top of the stairs to the servant's hall, looking down before anyone noticed her, she saw things Carson would never see. Bates and Anna stealing a kiss; Ivy giggling behind her hand; Jimmy running his hands through his hair; Thomas (that is, Mr. Barrow) watching Jimmy running his hands through his hair; O'Brien's snaky whisper to her nephew.

A good housekeeper uses all the tools at her disposal.

To echo, Yay, someone else who's read these books! They're what got me into fantasy in the first place, and though I haven't read them in awhile, they'll always have a place in my heart.
Especially the female characters. Cimorene, Shiara, Morwen, Kazul... Oh, they're all so amazing.
And thank you!

Penelope and Odysseus are the best! (Belatedly I recognize I've said this about lots of characters within this meme, but whatever. They are all the best!) :D

Desmond isn't leading the way through the darkness when Shaun and the others stumble back to safety.

It's uncanny, illogical, and stupid, but Shaun feels as if the the unknown is closing in, that somehow it's different from what he has felt before when he can barely see a hand in front of his face.

There is fear; even when Desmond knows his choice to touch the shining pedestal is one of sacrifice, it burns him, crawling up his arm, into his heart, it's wrong, she lied, it hurts-- but Desmond smiles and there is not a single ounce of peace within the void that follows.

I love your characterization of Natasha here and how she believes she's a monster. This is great; thank you for the fill!

The Point and the Circle

“You miss the point entirely,” sniff those wrapped in lion skins, seated high above. “You're ruining the story.”

Those wearing the leaves of dryads and the skin of nature turn their backs and huddle close, extending leafy fingers and branches out until they form a circle, and all that grows within is peace, and harmony, and joy.

Desmond finds out the hard way that whoever said your life passes before your eyes before you die is a fucking liar. In the precious few seconds between touching the pedestal and death, what Desmond actually sees is everything he'll never be; a father, a lover, a mentor, an old man, someone who will be remembered.

As he crumbles to the floor, Desmond can feel the man he could have been die right along side him.
