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.

Homestuck, any, that is the worst code I've ever laid eyes on

Karkat & Sollux & John - 'Let's see Paul Allen's terrible program.'

"3 SWEEP DELAY, WITH A 50% FAILURE RATE, LOCKS YOUR AUDIO SETTINGS TO BE TURNED ON THE WHOLE TIME, AND SCREAMS AT YOU THE WHOLE TIME," says Karkat, spinning the screen around with a smug grin.
"wow, really u2ed your brain for iit, huh," says Sollux, and scoffs before continuing with, "miine generate2 an entiire arg where every 2tep give2 you one biit of the correct re2pon2e, and iif you miiss one, you have to 2tart over."
"oh!" says John, clapping his hands together, and showing what appears to be an absolute hash of characters on the screen, "well mine works perfectly, but only in a version of the universe that you can only reach through metanarrative bullshit; it won't even run here."

This is magnificent, it captures all three of these characters perfectly, and I love the infusion of metanarrative bullshit at the end. And wow, that is some impressively, creatively terrible code.

Terrible work boys, great job! Your picks for each of their programs are deliciously in character, and the title also gave me a giggle. (I Thought I Had Replied To This But Apparently I Didn't Oops)
