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.

Silmarillion, Fingolfin & Fëanor

Fingolfin watched as Fëanor pressed through the host, his sons at his flank, crying to the gathered Noldor to array themselves for the march, inspiring them with words of fervor and stoking the fire of their hearts to a blaze, even as the fire in Fëanor’s eyes burned brighter than the flames of the torches he and his sons held aloft.

Fingolfin stood with his hand clasped around the pommel of his sword, standing like a rock in the midst of crashing waves as the Noldor surged around him, arming themselves and crying to their neighbors, and he followed with his gaze his brother’s movement through the host, clenching the pommel of his sword at the memory of their bitter words and Fëanor's wrath.

And as Fëanor turned to issue another rallying cry, his eyes found Fingolfin’s through the crowd, and he stilled and fell silent, and they gazed at each other across the gathered Noldor, until at last Fingolfin inclined his head and turned to his people.

Oh wow! I love the metaphors -- Fëanor's fire, Fingolfin and the ocean rock -- and the final image, the two of them looking at each other and how much is conveyed through that gaze, the moment of almost-accord before they resume the war.

It feels very "scene from an epic". :)

There's so much 'if only' about them and the whole thing! It's such a tragedy. I love the fire vs stone metaphor (would Finarfin be water or air, I wonder?)

I'm rereading The Silmarillion right now, and the tragedy of Fingolfin and Fëanor's relationship and the further tragedy that befalls Fingolfin for choosing to make amends, forgive Fëanor, and pledge to follow him again and again is so interesting to me, especially because Fingolfin's mind is largely hidden from readers, so we never know exactly why he chooses to do so (which I tried to preserve here).

Hmm...I think Finarfin could be either, really, but I'm leaning toward water because he always tries to smooth things over and calm tempers—he's the water (that tries to) to dampen Fëanor's flame and the current flowing around Fingolfin's stony stubbornness.

Yeah you're right, water does suit him best - not least because of his affinity for the Teleri too!

Fingolfin would have been such a good brother to Feanor if he hadn't been such a dick, yes. Supportive, talented, loyal, fierce - what more could you ask for in a sibling??
