2023 Three Sentence Ficathon - Post #1

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.

Ghosts of the Not Yet Dead (The Untamed, Wei Ying)

[personal profile] sallymn 2023-03-20 04:51 am (UTC)(link)

Wei Ying had so afraid, so hungry and so very very tired... maybe that was why he didn't notice at first how the big, scary dogs had stopped chasing him, the older children weren't there to taunt him, and the mean shopkeepers didn't hit him for stealing scraps. Or maybe he didn't notice because... he was only a six-year-old beggar child, after all, he didn't know everything.

What he did know was that this old lady and the two smiling uncles were kind. They sat with him while he wolfed down the scraps, and while he dozed off. Then they, and the misty, almost cobwebby others he should have been afraid of and wasn't, told him they were all going to somewhere warm and safe.

"And where people will be kind?"

The old granny smiled, running a sere, translucent hand over his head. "Yes, A-Ying," she spoke in a paper-dry but echoing voice. "They will be kind. They are us as we were, and we came back to this time to take you to them, so that they can love you as we did."

"You did?" He was very confused, but not afraid; even if the granny and uncles and everyone might be ghosts, at least he thought they were ghosts, they didn't hurt or yell at him like so many living people did. "I was loved?"

"You were, and are, and you will be." The younger uncle swept him up in arms he could barely feel, but which seemed to hold him safe and secure, like the dreams of his dead parents did.

Ooops, sorry for the double post, I've deleted one. Yes, they were Granny Wen, and Uncles Six and Four. All of whom I love and try to save in my fixits...
