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.

Awwww! This is so very sweet and the bits about him holding her secure (<333) and all the things he MIGHT have been but was not, as well as the man that he truly WAS, all illustrated so well in his hands. Which, obviously, Harriet seems to be so taken with. Lovely.

Oh god, it was so heartbreaking. I'm not sure what got to me most- Peter mouthing 'I love you, Dad' or Walter telling Astrid her name was beautiful. What an emotional journey and what a fantastic show.

Oh, but this one is still so sad and lovely! The Light in her...she belonged no more and no less to this time than Bran...just like him, she is a monarch in another time and place...it hurts but it hurts good. Beautiful,

Even with his muscled arms clasped around her back and his busy mouth trailing kisses along her collarbone, she pulls back the bowstring and lets the arrow fly. He pauses long enough to glance over his shoulder as the tip buries itself in the very center of the target, and grins as she laughs low in her throat.

"Point made, Susan the Gentle; now about that prize..."

I know, right! Or the white tulip callback at the end! Gah. Fringe was one of my three top fav shoes so I'm still so heartbroken it ended.

She's got all these ideas that he's a stuck-up aristocrat, but I didn't realize until I was writing this that his hands must have been like her father's physician's hands. :-D Glad you like!

The third time Ed and Peter nearly come to blows, and Lucy valiantly holds back tears as a child of her age should not be able to manage, Susan follows Edmund out to the gardens.

"I don't know what's wrong with us, Su," he says without looking at her, his head tipped back against the wall, the shadows running along his child's jaw in a way that makes her face recall the scrape of his stubble, back when he had to bend to embrace her.

"We used to be kings and queens," she says, sitting beside him, repressing the urge to spread invisible skirts, "and now we've crumbled back down to this, and have to make the best of it, and remember who we are."

"Honestly, Eustace," Jill sighed, attempting unsuccessfully to free her leg from the sucking swamp-mud. "I don't care how many species you could discover out here. Next time, Puddleglum is absolutely coming to visit us."

Thank you both!

The hooded man narrows his eyes, puffs on his short pipe, and says, "A friend of Bombadil, then?" eyeing Waldo's striped garb, his bright hat.

Waldo shakes his head and leaves the Bree inn, in search of a place with taller folk, where he might blend in, be less conspicuous. Perhaps this Bombadil will have the answers; until then, he's content to wander.



(This is the most hilarious prompt ever, btw.)

Hee, I'm so glad you filled it! Your fill is just as funny, too! Poor Waldo, unable to blend in at the Bree inn! hahaha


(Like I said, I have no idea where this came from.)
