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.

Teddy grows up thinking he is on the outside looking in, wishing he could be part of the Potter family and yet being grateful he isn’t because it means he can have James. Everyone else just thinks he loves being with his grandmother and don’t want to hurt either of them by asking him to leave. It isn’t until after the funeral when James leads him home that he realises he has belonged there all along and they have just been waiting for him.

Susan unpins her hair and tucks up her dress and sprints after Lucy into the summer grasses, tackling her sister to the ground with very little dignity and no shame. Lucy retaliates with kissing and tickling, and Susan throws her head back, baring her neck and belly in the manner of their favorite subjects. Lucy kisses her again, more deliberately and with greater abandon, and their laughter rises to the sun.

"Yes, studies have shown that neutering extends life and makes dogs happier."

For Grantaire, the revolution isn't the one that Enjolras is always talking about, the one that--somehow--through science and education will help the poor (and never ask who will pay for this), overturn Louis-Philippe (even though, as kings go, he's not that bad) and force the world to progress if they die (because people apparently never die in vain if they die for a good reason).

For him, the revolution is what happens inside him when he looks at Enjolras--not just because he craves the man (though he does, and wasn't that a shock to discover?), but because Enjolras cares fiercely about his cause and his country, stripping away mountains of cynicism from Grantaire, making him believe, not in the revolution, but that what Enjolras wants is worth having. He cannot believe in the revolution or the barricades; he cannot believe in his country as the glorious entity that Enjolras adores; but he can believe in and love and die for Enjolras with all of his skeptical, dubious, questioning heart, and that, he thinks, is a revolution indeed.

She knows the burn of losing someone for whom you are responsible. She thinks she knows what Sherlock feels when he can't stop until he's found a killer, no matter how closed the case.
The day she takes her first case on her own, a case everyone else has forgotten, she learns a new kind of fire has been smoldering inside her.

i wanted a different way to structure this, but...

They are Queens, all three of them, queens without husbands or parents or primogeniture, before they even realize how natural and strange this is. "She's so much happier here, have you noticed?" Edith asks Sybil, watching Mary greet petitioners one day. Sybil smiles, and if she's noticed the same thing about Edith, and about herself, well - there's no one here to defend their happiness to, and so she laughs and goes with Edith to visit the Trees.

:DDDDDD Maybe Peter and Edmund too, to an extent, but whether it's incest or not, I firmly believe that Lucy and Susan trust each other more than anyone else in the world.

"Here, babe," Hardison says, handing Parker the harness she was looking for (it's the one she likes to use for jumping off tall buildings): she sighs. "How did you find it?" she asks, kissing him; "I didn't," Hardison says. "Eliot did," and Eliot smirks from behind him, says, "Don't I get a kiss too?"
