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

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."

The Wiggle lowered his head closer to Scrubb and as he did so, all the water slid off the brim of his hat and onto the unfortunate boy. "By walking and minding my own business, I daresay," he said, ignoring the furious glare directed first at him and then at the giggling Pole, "though it seems I must have offended someone that I should suddenly find myself no longer amongst the marshes but here instead."

"Oh do let us get out of the rain before you tell us more, Puddleglum," Jill put in before either of her friends could speak again, motioning for them to follow her as she made for the (conveniently unlocked) door that separated the grounds of Experiment House from the moors outside.
As they took shelter in the school gardens beneath the trees that grew between the laurels and shrubbery, she threw her arms around the Marshwiggle (ignoring the fact that they were both very wet) and said, "Thank the Lion for this chance to meet again!"
"Well, I did see my old wigwam again after you and Scrubb left," said Puddleglum, sounding rather surprised at the thought while patting Pole's head softly with his hand, "so I suppose there was a chance for us to meet once more after all."
