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.

I think that means Anya defaults to Hufflepuff. "...we'll take the rest" and all that jazz. I love that you have head-canon for them, though. :D

I almost want to say Anya would make a good Slytherin because of her days as a Vengeance demon and her seeming lack of empathy and/or compassion, but I think she could definitely make a good Hufflepuff. She's tricky. My head canon on HP fusion AUs is vast and somewhat alarming. The amount of time I spent wondering about the Scoobies' patronuses alone is frightening, all by itself.

Well now you know that begs the question of what House (and blended House) are you? And, of course, the rest of your HP fusion headcanon you've got going...

I definitely consider myself a Ravenclaw, because I'm big into nerdy, intellectual things. The rest of my head canon is alternately very specific and really vague, as I've spent a lot of time wondering about Sorting and none about who's wand would be what. But it involves Oz spending full moons in the Shrieking Shack, Buffy being captain of the (Quidditch Cup winning) Gryffindor quidditch team, Tara being the charms professor and head of Hufflepuff, Xander being muggle born, Willow being the best in her year at potions, Wesley, Fred, Ethan Rayne, and Anya as professors (DADA, Arithmancy, Transfiguration, and Muggle Studies, respectively), and Cordelia as Gryffindor's prefect, and later Head Girl. I'm really starting to actually want to write this, now.

I know I'm slow to respond these last few days, but I hope you did write it down! It sounds like a fantastic crossover, and like you already have a lot of it mapped out in your head.

If you're interested, I actually did write a quick story set in this AU. It's Willow/Oz with a lot of Spike, set in the beginning of their 6th year.

In Which Willow is Certain About Quite a Number of Things

I saw! And if I hadn't been so busy the last couple of days I would have read it already, but it is high in my queue. :D
