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.

Narnia, Any, Statues & you never forget

[last_haven]

There is a marked lack of statues in Cair Paravel; dignitaries and visitors are always a little baffled by Narnia's aversion to sculptures, but the monarchs' smiles thin at such questions and conversation always changes fast when they come up.

To be fair, there were very few statues at all in Narnia after the Witch's reign ended; sure, there were some old ones still, but Jadis had taken a sick glee in destroying monuments to the past just so she could put some poor petrified soul up in the statue's place, as a warning to those who would disobey.

For people like Mister Tumnus, the loss of three dimensional art was more of a blessing than sorrow; after all, no one liked to be reminded of their limbs going stiff, the chill creeping through their chest, and finally their last breath before their lungs stopped working.

I love the idea that the lack of statues becomes a part of a Narnian art bias.

[last_haven]

Alternate theory: it becomes all the rage to make statues/effigies of the White Witch and destroy them afterwards, so there's no permanent statues in Narnia.

I love this!

oh, this is chilling

Oooh how haunting

[whynot]

Love me a bit of worldbuilding. This is great!

[rustedeaglewings]

Obscure tiny details in Narnia world building, my beloved!

[rthstewart]

oh that is SO GOOD

[ravenlilyrose]

There are no statues in Narnia, but the land does not want for art. Even centuries later they have never forgotten that statues might once have been cousins, but they can still mold clay into flowing waves that could be either the ocean or the wind or both or neither, still weld metals together until a lattice like a honeycomb shows a beam of beautiful sunlight. So no, they never forget and there are no statues in Narnia, but there is art and sculpture and beauty all the same.

Aravis, Living Memory

"I have heard many of the great stories of Narnia and all of its exploits," Aravis said to Hwin, "but we have traveled many days in this country and there are no monuments to any of them. Does the Lion forbid you from making images?"

"We have art," Hwin said, "but the White Witch's reign was marked by a lot of Narnians spending a lot of time as garden decorations, so we've all decided, if unconsciously, that the Stone Table is the only monument made of rock in Narnia."
