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.

“Mother, your lullaby about the rooster is very inaccurate,” Zhun-ge announced suddenly one day, “you shouldn’t sing it to Meimei anymore!”

“What do you mean?” Shiyi Niang asked, looking up from where she was tucking Nuannuan into her cradle.

“I went to the market with Nanny Tao today, and Nanny Tao let me go buy a rooster from the vendor to make soup for you. And he said the rooster cost 5 copper coins! It could barely fly and wasn’t even as pretty as the one in the song! And it wasn’t rare at all! The vendor had dozens of them! There’s no way you can buy a rooster as pretty as the one in the song and bring it all the way her from Sichuan for only 3 copper coins!”

Shiyi Niang could only press her lips together to suppress her laughter at Zhun-ge’s very indignant complaint. At a loss for a response, she looked towards the Marquis for help.

Xu Lingyi chuckled and rose from where he was writing a report to the emperor at the desk and approached the warm partition where Zhun-ge was sitting. Sitting down next to his son, he said, “Zhun-ge, that song was written a long time ago, so it was accurate when it was written. After all, have you ever heard of a thing called inflation...?”

OMG OMG OMG I AM CACKLING WITH GLEE I LOVE THIS! Xu Lingyi is the guy who sees his son growing into a boy just as exacting and detailed as him and immediately wants to save Shiyi from a tight spot while also going "that's the perfect opening to teach a valuable economic lesson!" That is so him and so their family and I ADORE THIS FIC!

I hope Zhun-ge's next maths lesson will include adding up how much it would cost to get a really pretty rooster plus transport it from Sichuan.

Once again, I am so thoroughly delighted, thank you very much for writing this!

They do own land and Shiyi runs a business! Zhun ge would need to have a very sound understanding of economics!

Absolutely! Can't hurt to get him an early start, a Xu gotta be ambitious!
