rthstewart | 3 Sentence Ficathon

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

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.

lady_songsmith explains, for the 2011 3 Sentence Ficathon,

grim_lupine created a delicious account to archive the 3 Sentence Ficathon.

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.

Narnia, Eustace/Jill, stranded

With his teeth chattering endlessly against the biting cold and rain, Eustace wrapped his thin, wet arms around his thoroughly drenched body.

"I thought you said you could tell where we are by looking at the stars!" he hissed, wondering why he hadn't listened to the weather reports on the wireless before agreeing to set out on this adventure with her.

"I can," Jill whispered, her voice equally furious as his as she stomped her feet to keep warm, "but I meant Narnian stars, not those of England!"

Ahahaha Poor Eustace!

Adorable and I feel for BOTH of them. Also, hilarious.

Oh, terrific glimpse of life back in England, and two good friends being very crabby with each other. I trust they get warm and dry before too many hours have passed! :)

AHAHAHA this is perfection.

"Well… we saved Narnia, didn't we?"

"Yes. Six months ago now."

"Mmm. Do we ever get to go back to England or ...is this home now?"

Yes yes yes yes yes.

I LOVE SCAUVERSE weeeee!

Haha, I was more thinking of an AU Last Battle, where they won and then... the world didn't end.

I LOVE THAT TOO!

OHHHH the uncertainty. Poor dears. Breaks my heart.

It's a whole new world for them to figure out, and they already know they can be pulled out of it at any time! Not easy, the poor things.

Ooh. A dark twist on SC--is there more to this AU?

Ha, yeah, I've written a few pieces collectively known as SCAUverse which is all over on my ff.net page .

/awkward self-plug

Winged has written a LOT! I admit, I was more thinking of it as a Last Battle AU, where the world doesn't end and then... what happens to them.

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?

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.

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.
