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.

The Silt Verses, Old Gods in Old Dirt
Bet on the sure thing, kid, and throw in your lot with the Wire-bitten Child! Have you not yet paid your pittance to the Petrol Pater this season? Remember that regular sacrifice is needed to keep your auto running! Glut yourself at the Chitterling's trough and remember to take your leftovers home!
Carpenter spits on the ground, scuffing her shoe so it mixes with the rest of the silt at the river's edge. Focus group-tested, toothless gods, who need their sacrifices brutalized beyond recognition as human to actually tear and find the bleeding heart beneath. Their worshippers wouldn't last five minutes out here, where her river winds through thick black mud and the rustling leaves sing of beasts and prey. She knows that even her god is new here, compared to the things in the sleep in the dirt, their names forgotten by all but their hidden worshippers. Her people can still tell the story of when the Trawler Man first came to the Chosen Bride and liberated her from her unkind marriage; how can a god be called old when his genesis is still known?
She picks up a few more of the Trawler Man's scuttling angels and dumps them in her crabbing bucket. They'll be useful when she next sends a sacrifice down to the Trawler Man's garden, and if she doesn't have a new sacrifice in the next few days, then they'll be useful as a snack.
She doesn't dally much longer, though- here is where her river wends through old woods, where old gods sleep, and Carpenter does not care to meet such things.
