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.

She had never been a quiet child, laughing and talking and asking questions for days on end, to the exasperation of her brothers.

He misses her voice now, and as his brothers and he return to their feathered forms, she remains hunched over her piles of stinging nettles, hardly touching the berries and wild grasses they had gathered for her to eat.

He wants to tell her he loves her, they all love her, but his voice is the trumpeting of a swan, and when she looks up briefly, he knows she heard his love, just as they see her love in her injured fingers.

I've always loved this fairy tale (highly recommend Daughter of the Forest novel by Juliet Marillier), and this short adaptation shares the same wonderful pathos and sibling bonds/love that makes it so compelling. The connection between her silence and his, and how they both find other means of communication, is great.

Oh! I’ve read that book and enjoyed it a lot! This is one of my favourite, if not My Absolute Favourite fairy tale, especially looking at the other versions out there. I get there’s the romantic love between the girl and the prince / king who marries her, but I have always loved the familiar love between her and her brothers.
