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.

*bolts upright* I was literally just writing a fanfic about this. Narnia, Peter/OC

[last_haven]

There are plenty of swan maidens in Narnia and frankly it's a little confusing to Peter--he's more than once made a fool of himself trying to figure out if he's talking to a Dumb swan who is on the large side, Talking swans who might be on the small size, or swan maidens could tend to look identical to Dumb swans. Their human forms are a little more recognizable as they are, on the whole, tend to be pale colored, tall, and beautiful; they also all tend to keep their feathered cloaks on their person at all times, either as actual cloaks or sashes.

What makes them different is if they try to look willowy and delicate--Lucy's two guards look like waifish handmaidens right up until someone tried to hurt his sister, in which case they descended on the attacker with inhuman strength until Lucy would step in to stop them from literally tearing the attacker to shreds--or if they do not.

And, on the other hand, you would get swan maidens like Lady Etain; Peter's new general to the northern armies was taller than most minotaurs he'd met and more muscled too. She looked very pleased when he blurted out as much and said "Some of my fellow swans might try pretty and weak, but they have the same strength as I. I'm one of the ones that are just not going to hide it."

Peter nodded, mainly on the account that he was too busy staring at one of her biceps that was bigger than his own head and coming to the uncomfortable realization that he preferred this brawnier beauty instead.

*laughs* Excellent! (and oh dear, the pitfalls of swan identification >.>)

(Identification is difficult in the first place, but imagine the damage an outraged swan could do if it could hold a knife! That's a faux pas you wouldn't want to commit twice.)

(Most Definitely Not. Very motivation to learn as well as possible as quickly as possible - the horrors!)

Ooooh! Joining the swan maiden fan club. Love this!

ooohh yes I love this! I love your description of the swan maidens, how they keep feathers on their bodies and how ferocious and strong they are, even if they don't always look like it. Lucy's two swan maiden guards is a great mental image, and LOL for Peter's realization
