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.

any mythology, sun god, opinions on daylight savings time

[smallhobbit]

Could I turn up an hour later in the morning? Yes, of course it's possible, but then having to remember who has it earlier and who hasn't got round to it yet. And then, just when I'm getting fully into the swing it's all 'could you come an hour earlier for the next few months?'!

*pats that god* you should file a complaint with HR, dude. I enjoyed this!

[smallhobbit]

Thank you very much!

"It doesn't really matter, anyway, the sun is going to rise and set the same, relative to the birth of the planet or the birth of the universe, whichever way you'd like to think of it, the world still has to deal with only eight hours of sunlight in the winter and only eight hours of darkness in the summer, that's just how it works! And they always quibble amongst themselves about how much they hate the time change when they change the clocks, but really, they're not changing anything, the human manifestation of "this is 9 o'clock" is an entire social construct, the sun doesn't care about when is 9 o'clock, I don't care, I'm going to drive the sun around the sky the same way regardless - "

"Wow, sorry I asked," muttered the harvest goddess.

*cackling* You have the "oh god" tone down beautifully while he goes on and on and oooonnn.

[dawen]

hahaha, thanks!

[kalira]

Bahaha, delightful! XD Well harvest goddess has certainly learned something, hasn't she? >.>

[dawen]

something, indeed... is it the folly of humans, or the folly of asking her fellow god a "simple" question? XP

*cracks up laughing* A+

Mortal Foolishness (Greek Mythology; Apollo & Artemis)

[kalira]

". . .what?" Apollo cocked a brow, fingers still trailing idly over his lyre.

"The mortals," Artemis supplied from her place lounging on the other end of the chaise, poking his thigh with her sandalled toes; he refrained from swatting her ankle only because he knew she would retaliate and it would be much less enjoyable, "they realign their whole construct of time twice a year - at least some of them do - including what time they think you appear and leave them once more."

"Well," Apollo sniffed, "mortals are always doing something ridiculous to themselves; dawn and dusk are the only times that matter to me, and I the only power presiding over them."
