3 Sentence Ficathon
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.
As lady_songsmith explains, for the 2011 3 Sentence Ficathon, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
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.
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. 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 edited March 12, 2013

Yessssss omfg yes yes yes Meto omg.
Telling each other stories of their homes, Ramandu's daughter tracing the constellations and saying, This is where I danced, this is where my aunts swung me across the sky, there is the hunter who taught me to string a bow, there is the queen who taught me to dance.
The Sea Girl showing them places so deep no light can penetrate but what is made by the fish themselves, laughing as they chase fish, showing them the way coral lives and breathes and knows her.
Lucy leading them across the grassy slopes of Narnia, here is where the fauns dance, here is where the grapes grow, here is my home.

The three of them as the Morrigan - earth goddesses, war goddesses, goddesses of sovereignty and fertility - ambiguous, indistinguishable as one or three.
no subject
Omg in years to come when they are old, old but perhaps not aged, people speak of them as the three fates, of your life woven in the sea and measured on the land and overseen by the sky.
And others say, no, but one is the patron of sailors and one is the patron of shepherds and one is the patron of hermits.
no subject
Some people say it is all part of Queen Lucy's myth, that she sang songs to the stars - so we came up with a star-girl; and she sailed and swam - so we came up with a sea-girl. Lucy hears the stories in True Narnia, realizes this is why people like Tirian and those generations look at her the way they do. It makes her laugh, because in True Narnia she and her girlfriends are inseparable, and none of them are more than they are.
no subject
And yet even in the True Narnia, if you are watching very carefully, you might see three women melting together as the waves crash against the sand, swimming as the wind tousles their hair, and you might not be able to tell, still, which is which, which is most comfortable on land and which grew up in the sea and which comes from far above the world.
