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.

Any, any fictional detective, I have this dream my daughter-in-law kills me for the money

"What am I going to do about it, Mr Holmes?"

"Perhaps you could make her an allowance so she has something to live on now."

"Certainly not, I'm not parting with a penny, she'd only spend it."

Deserves is a strong word, but I imagine this is a case he'll politely decline when Lestrade or Gregson comes to request his help.

It probably depends how he dies - of course, it could all be a case of a guilty conscience speaking in his dreams.

This is a classic detective story set up!

Oh no, this definitely sounds like a man that is soon to be found murdered

Hee! Only too typical of a certain kind of Holmes client, but I'm sure Holmes will know how to deal with it...

Yes, plenty of self-righteous clients who are told things they don't want to hear.

I hope you've seen both Knives Out films

"I have this dream my daughter-in-law kills me for the money."

Phillip sighed, feeling that this was his fault: he had invited the dinner guests, chosen the excellent wine, and — worst of all — abandoned his husband in order to fetch the dessert from the refrigerator. He was just about to feign an emergency with the mousse when he heard the reply, professional relish unmistakable under the drawl.

“Why, how very distressing for you.”

It's an occupational hazard for private detectives...!

Ghost Trick, Jowd

"Wooouldn't it be more likely someone kills her for her money, baby?" drawls Cabanela, eyes fascinated and alight at the idly voiced thought as he sits on one side of Jowd at the parents' table.

"Yes, my darling angel would certainly be more likely to have more ready cash than a police officer, even one so exalted to such high station," agrees Emma, toasting Cabanela with a wicked sparkle in her eye as she watches her husband writhe in horror at the very thought.

I'd save you anyway, says Sissel from his perch in Alma's huge mother-of-the-bride tote bag, and yawns widely as he watches the brides dance with Alma in a whirling, laughing, joyous pattern.
