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.

any, any, a collection gotten out of hand

Edgar and Celes exchanged a look before he frowned after the gentleman and his son leaving the auction house with their newly bought 1/1200 scale airship trailing behind them; how many could they possibly need and how many could the auction house possibly have?

The lady of the house stared in dismay as her husband and son entered with yet another of these model airships of theirs.

The boy looked on in pride as he followed his father into the room where their newest arrival joined the rest of the airship fleet helmed by imp dolls, and, looking up at his father, most earnestly asked, "Father, can we go back to the auction house?"

Brilliant.

HAHAHAHA THIS IS CANON NOW

Haitang did not think much of it when Yin An first brought home a girl and announced that her name was Lichun - after all, delusional as he might be about the extend of his handsomeness, what half-wealthy man in this Xin State did not have a concubine or two; Yin An was a prince, and Haitang was not so naive as to think he would remain loyal only to her.

But when Lichun was followed in rapid succession by Yushui, Chunfen, Guyu, Xiaoman, Mangzhong, Dashu, Xiaoshu, Bailu, Qiufen (his insistence on renaming them all after solar term ceased to be funny and already became exasperating by the time Yushui arrived), until their courtyard numbered 18 plus Haitang, Haitang found herself torn between fury towards Yin An for the astronomical level of entitlement that he displayed which surely surpassed even that of the Lord of Xin State himself, wonder that anyone could be so delusional as to sincerely believe a person as dim and uninteresting as he could make so many ladies fall in love with him, sorrow for the ladies themselves, and, deep in her heart, a selfish little comfort that they were here, accompanying her and making life with Yin An so much more interesting than Yin An himself could ever manage.

But she did not enjoy her solar sisters’ company so much that Haitang would wish this fate on any other innocent girl, and after Dongzhi, Haitang vowed to herself, there might be 24 solar periods in a year, but their band of sisterhood would never, never reach 24, and if Haitang had to play the jealous shrew, then so be it.

Oh goodness and oh dear. >.> I am unfamiliar with the fandom, but out of hand indeed. X'D

The drama is a satire, so it's poking fun at the multiple wives system in ancient China by having a dude literally trying to collect enough women to name them all after 24 solar/calender terms (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_term). But yes it is out of hand :D

That sounds like quite an amusing premise. XD

It was only when Paradise Manor's collection of rare swords, sabers, and other sharp implements grew so extensive that one could have fought using multiple different weapons each day and still not run out for twenty years, that Yin Yu ventured to suggest that Chengzhu's armory seemed very complete.

"It isn't complete yet," Chengzhu declared with the fervor that always filled his voice when he spoke of Xie Lian. "It has to be worthy of His Highness--he has always loved swords."

"...I know we, as a clan, tend to take our rivalries a bit far..." Madara said slowly, squinting at the vast collection of kunai, senbon, and assorted other small weapons, "but this really takes the cake, Izuna."

Izuna sniffed, carefully sorting each weapon into piles based on type, condition, and age before wrapping them up in his new storage seals; occasionally he paused in his sorting to sharpen one. "Look, as much as I hate it, I know you're going to strong-arm us into peace with the bastards," he said, "and then I'll need something to hold over that white rat's head."

Out of hand, and yet, very reasonable Uchiha response, feels like. X'D Good job Izuna. Thinking ahead. *fingerguns*

he used to have them in a pile in the corner of his room, back when he was collecting them mostly so the Senju couldn't use them. but they shall have a new life now! hanging over the White Senju Bastard's head! *elmo fire gif*

Storing them in a way other than stacked in a pile in the corner of his room seems like a wise evolution, really. XD You know your brother, Mada, perhaps you should just be glad of that improvement. >.>

Madara: why don't you use them on your missions like normal shinobi?
Izuna: but these are COLLECTOR ITEMS Aniki!!

XD

It took her considerably longer than Squall to obtain them, but eventually she had a complete set of Triple Triad cards, arranged in sealed sleeves and artful display cases.

"Not that it's my business, Fujh," Raijin said, looking at the display cases, "but I never figured you for a card fiend, y'know?"

Fujin fixed Raijin with a stare from her unpatched eye, swept her arm to indicate the collection, and said "RETIREMENT."

The herb garden had been acceptable: not a proper pastime for a lady-in-waiting to have, but easy enough to explain as purely ornamental, so long as no-one looked too closely at the plants that grew there.

The mushrooms had, at least, been confined to an abandoned storeroom, out of sight and therefore someone else's problem.

But when Ailan found a small green snake brazenly dozing in a ray of sunshine, Hongniang had to put her foot down, no matter how much Maomao argued about non-lethal paralysis and valuable life experiences.

Oh goodness o.o intriguing indeed. XD

"Bunny," Kotetsu said gently, "do you think maybe you should cut down a little on the plants?"

Bunny stopped in the middle of polishing the leaves of his jade plant, his green eyes huge and wounded. "Kotetsu, how can you say something like that? I couldn't give any of them up!"

Kotetsu looked around the apartment—once bare except for a table and a chair, now packed so full of plants and pots that there was hardly any space to move—and sighed. "Yeah, what was I thinking?"

>.> Kotetsu, how could you? *tsks*

(Clearly they need a bigger house. Possibly with grounds and a greenhouse? >.>)
