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.

She's just the greatest - i love how she's not afraid to point out what an ass Claudio's been. Or to punish him for it!

Hee, this is wonderful! I love that Lena and Mrs. Frederic totally enable them. Also the reference to the missing episodes!

Was she a sculptor? It's been too long since I read HoME.

I agree that she would have loved him forever - he's pretty clearly the type of guy who captures attention and devotion and doesn't let it go, through sheer force of personality. It's just nicer to think of her as having some kind of independent life after he's left, and she seems so forceful herself, being the only one besides Finwe he'd ever listen to, that I can't see her being the waiting sort. But maybe in her secret, sentimental heart...

Ha, I automatically thought SCAU because I write it all the time but YES to LB AU because there is nothing better than the world not ending.

And I'm afraid I can't quite remember but weren't you writing a bit of an LB AU? Or talking about one, at least?

Hahaha poor Oliver. And of course, despite the fact that the Arrow suddenly goes mute while Oliver Queen has laryngitis, NO ONE NOTICES. :P

Edmund looked at the tankard of ale sitting on his night stand and said to his sister, "Lucy, you know I don't drink."

"Unfortunately, so does everyone else, Edmund. If it makes you feel better, think of this as weapons training."

For me the interference of the gods is one of the most frustrating things in Greek tragedy. Glad you liked it!

Yes! I am intrigued by the idea of the world not ending, but Jill and Eustace not going back, and they can't figure out why, exactly. And Aslan is nowhere to be found and did Tash kill him or something and it's a bit of a mystery.

And yes, I was! Although not this same idea. It was an LB AU where Jill and Eustace used the rings to get to Narnia, and saved Narnia and Tirian, and then Aslan sent them home, where they found out that Susan was killed in a trainwreck. And she ended up in Narnia too.

Oh, this hurts so perfectly, her feeling betrayed but also not 'good' enough and aw just, poor Theodora. Thank you so much!

Wow, I love the idea that not only are they staying for no apparent reason, but Aslan is nowhere to be found. Because that would suck.(Actually, loving this idea more the more I think of it!)

And yes, now that you describe it, I do sort of remember you talking about this other AU idea now. I like the take that Susan is the only one killed - an interesting inversion.

This is really powerful, and well-written. You bring in their past, their present, and their hopes for the future in just three lines. Beautifully done.
