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.

Yeah, the white tulip. What a perfect (and heartbreaking) way to end the show. I was very late to the party- I only started watching it a few weeks ago and basically inhaled the whole thing. I'd put it right up there with my favorite shows.

"I never want to see another box again," Donna mutters, rolling the cool glass of a beer bottle across her neck (Josh watches the way strands of hair have escaped her bun and cling to the glass, growing damp, and thinks).

"In that case," he says thoughtfully, sipping from his own bottle, "maybe I shouldn't mention this..."

"No," she says forcefully, cutting him off, "I am not helping you move this weekend, don't even ask."

Whee! Welcome to the madness! :-)

She followed him as he left the victory celebration, slipping past the newly-woken Dryads that had gathered to dance with anyone—Human, Narnian, or Telmarine—that approached them until he stopped in a clearing that was as silent and empty as the Woods had recently been.

"You did well, my King and brother," she began, glad for this moment where she finally had time to speak to him alone and without interruption from Caspian, their siblings or anyone else they'd met after the battle, "for Narnia is more awake and alive and free than she has been in centuries."

"That may be true, Lucy, but—" he paused briefly and in the moonlit night, she could see weariness and guilt on his face, "but I think Narnia paid too high a price for the choices We"—there was no mistaking the royal pronoun in his words—"made that led to all of this in the first place."

"Ma petit fromage," she snorts, in bed later (much later) that night, snickering like a girl. "I can't believe you called me that - you need French lessons, Jed."

Yeah, cause I got all the time in the world for that, he thinks of saying, but doesn't, instead opting for the much more diplomatic, "You know, sweetheart, that's what I've always loved about you, your biting sense of humor and the way you use it against me," and Abbey just snickers again and snuggles closer.

Thank you so much, Julia. I have to admit that limiting myself to three sentences was really tough, but I love a writing challenge.

This is fantastic, especially the descriptions of Tashbaan and how completely un-Narnian it is in every way. Of course Peter feels stifled and out of place there. And then his description of Lucy at the end - so sweet!

*cough* taking it as a prompt...

He first looked up at the grey and gloomy skies, blinking as the clap of thunder echoed in his ears before turning his gaze to the two familiar children—mouths opened in astonishment and wearing clothes that looked even more dreary than the outfits he saw them in last-that stared right back at him.

"So this is Spare Oom then?" he asked sadly as the rain started to fall, each large drop splattering loudly on the brim of his hat. He stretched his webbed fingers out and took a sip from the pool of rainwater gathered in his palm. "I suppose I should make the best of it while I'm here, unless this storm drowns all of us and then I shan't have to worry about finding a way to get home."

Linda and Johnny turned handsprings in front of the Eiffel Tower. Susan and Nick got up an impromptu can-can in the Louvre. To say they were enjoying Paris was a gross understatement; the only question was whether Paris would survive them.

(I utterly adore this movie!)

When Peter lifts Etta in his arms a surge of protective love sweeps over him, greater than any he's felt before. A sudden, irrational fear seizes him that if he lets Etta go, she'll be snatched away. The moment passes; he sets his daughter down, and the sun shines brighter.
