2023 Three Sentence Ficathon - Post #1

[3sfmod]

Welcome to the 2023 Three Sentence Ficathon!
As of 16 Jan 2023 this post is NOW CLOSED TO NEW PROMPTS! PLEASE POST YOUR NEW PROMPTS HERE, IN POST 2! Do continue to fill prompts here but please put all new prompts in Post 2.



This post will remain open for new prompts until we hit 4000 comments, at which point we'll open a new one to avoid captcha as long as possible. New fills and comments on fills will always be welcome.


How to Prompt

Prompts should be one prompt per comment, formatted in this way: fandom, character(s), prompt word/sentence

Example: Star Wars, Obi-Wan Kenobi, I don't like sand

Prompts may also be open ended, unspecific, or anthropomorphic, such as:

any, any, I don't like sand
or
Earth geography, sand, I don't like humans very much, either

Prompts for relationships are welcome; a / is used for romantic/sexual relationships and an & for platonic. A prompt that uses both means the relationship can be written as either romantic or platonic, such as:

Star Wars, Anakin/&Obi-Wan, I don't like sand

Prompts may be repeated if they are unfilled; there is no obligation to read through every prompt to make sure yours isn't a repeat. This year's 3SF will stay open for new prompts through Sunday, February 12th.

How to Fill

Respond to your chosen prompt with a short fic of three sentences containing the fandom & characters requested!

Prompts can be filled more than once, as many times as someone has a new idea for them.

Notes & Rules

No, fills do not need to be exactly three sentences! It's more of a guideline. Please abuse grammar and punctuation as much as desired.

3SF is a Choose Not to Warn space. Spoiler and content warnings are not required, though writers are free to add them if they please. If you see something you don't like, just scroll until you do!

A Dreamwidth account is not needed to participate. Anonymous prompts/fills are welcome, or you can use Open ID.

Cross-posting is encouraged; there is a 3SF Collection on AO3 if you'd like to post fills there as well.

Note that the comm is searchable! Tick the 'include comments' button when searching to easily find prompts for your chosen fandom/characters.

And most importantly, have fun! If you have questions, check the Sticky Info post and if they're not answered there, head to the Contact the Mods post.

NaNoWriMo looked at 3SF with envy. "I've never been able to write anything less than 50k and call it a success," they said, as 3SF's completions continued to tick upward. "Dashing off prompts that take no more than a drabble looks…fun, actually."

[lyssie]

Hilariously meta (especially give ACD's later fairy obsession). Thanks for filling my very first prompt! And I agree theseatheseatheopensea, I love that picture of Holmes and Watson, and use it on my website too.

Re: north by north lest we have to settle down

[whynot]

The unsaid things between them are my favorite <333 I love how you've written the different parts of their relationship with your various fills, and I don't know which is my favorite, but I really really really love this one <333

Looking for Heaven

“I just know,” Ed says, trying to still the urge to shift in his seat, because he does - something in him feels the rightness of it, the righteousness, the lies on one side of the case tilting like scales inside his soul with the truth on the other, the hum of their balance like the purr of a satisfied cat.

For Peter, it is simple; he bends to touch the soil and stands knowing where to go to find his foe, how to lay out his army when he arrives, the precise hillside and time to take advantage of the sun, rising like the fire in his blood as he urges his comrades along, embers of it swirling along the line until all share the roar of his fury.

Susan laughs, a musical note like a finger run round the edge of glass, and diplomats and princes smile at her, charmed, caught in the skeins of a web made of beauty and delight, and when she takes aim, she does not miss-

(-in the gardens, neither does Lucy, though her aims are ephemeral, fleeting; the endless, glorious chase of joy from one moment to the next, golden and warm as sunlight.)

Lucy yesssss.
