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.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

A girls' school gathers around its staff stories of romance and tragedy, embellished and passed from student to student in hushed whispers as the objects of their attention hand out demerits or read out poetry, and Miss Pevensie, who had been very beautiful and whose departure had been very mysterious, attracted more than most. There were those who insisted that the handsome RAF man, long presumed dead, whose picture hung in her study, had finally returned for her with the long-promised ring; still others argued that she had been whisked away to fight the Soviets, as everyone knew she had parachuted into France during the war.

But perhaps the strangest story was one that the head girl told--that one night, very late, she had been been watching out her window as an older, silver-haired man rode up to the front gate on a white horse; that Miss Pevensie had walked out of the same gate, wearing her best dress and carrying her very best bow; and that he had kissed her hand, and she had taken his arm, and with the horse nosing along behind them they had walked away from the school toward the apple grove along the road, where they had vanished into the night.

Aaah, this is amazing! How did Lune get there? Where did they go? Did they ever come back? (And that's totally Tebbit's picture, yes?)

(Who else? :p)

Omg I don't know! I feel like they must go save the world, right? Unless he is taking her to Aslan's country. OR BOTH, IDK, maybe they have to save Aslan's country.

How lovely :)

Oh Animus, t his is so sad and lovely. And it is so lovely to have you here!

Thank you for hosting! What a great surprise this was :)

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA MY HEART THIS IS PERFECT AND AMAZING AND HOW HOW HOW I DON'T EVEN KNOW BUT IT'S BEAUTIFUL AND I SHALL NAME IT GEORGE AND SQUEEZE IT FOREVER.

that was me, btw, I keep forgetting to sign these.

signing in is hard, true story.

Susan/Lune OMFG I was just so glad to see the prompt!!

OK, somebody's gotta continue this. Bonus points if Susan is also McGonagall and this is Hogwarts. I'm looking at you, Starbrow.

Omg, do they walk into the Forbidden Forrest? Is the white horse actually a unicorn?

OMFG LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE

klajpoeijw poij the apotheosis of Susan Pevensie I WANT IT

I don't know if I am supposed to be a huge fan of the idea that someone Comes For Susan when it is her time, like possibly with a retinue, but I've always thought. Like on the day she arrives everyone is out with banners waving and trumpets blowing and it is every feast, every party, all over again, and Susan starts up the walk to Cair Paravel and Corin is running ahead yelling "She's here, she's here!" and her bow and her horn fly into her hands and Lucy comes running out of the castle and down the beach with her hair flying, and everyone is dancing wildly along with Bacchus because Susan, Queen Susan, is here, but also because they are all so proud to hear of all the things she has been up to lo these last eighty years.

akjapeoijroijw peoij apoij yes

like i have intense issues with the concept that necessarily susan must end up in True Narnia/England (and, like, is there a difference, really??)

but they would be SO EXCITED TO SEE HER

(and the images of corin and lucy omfg so precious)

Yes! Because idk that I want to buy into Lewis's happily ever after for her, maybe she deserves more.

BUT HER SISTER, SHE ALSO DESERVES HER SISTER, so idk. LUCY WOULD BE SO HAPPY.
