threesentenceficathonWelcome 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 Untamed, Nie Mingjue and Wen Qing
Date: 2023-03-12 11:29 am (UTC)Nie Mingjue was nothing if not patient, at least these days, but his patience had limits.
"Are you coming?" he bellowed.
Bellowing at the various people in his Sect was normal after all, and had been for years. The fact that he now had - custody? protective guardianship? - for this group of the same Wens he had hated for years didn't change that much.
He didn't bellow at Granny Wen, naturally. Or Uncles Six and Four (he liked Uncle Four's fruit wine too much to upset the man). Or tiny, adorable a-Yuan whose unabashed begging for hugs Nie Mingjue had resisted for a whole twelve minutes when they first met. Or Wen Ning whose gentle nature endeared him to even the stubbornest Nie.
Bellowing at Wen Qing was fine. She simply shouted back. He might not admit it to anyone but himself, but he liked that.
She now turned from scolding his - her - their brothers and glared at him. "As soon as these two are ready... yes, we are coming."
He huffed. Normally, a trip to another Sect would take no more time than the flight on their swords. The Nie disciples could fly with no trouble of course, he could with even less than none, and Wen Qing had proven more than once that she could keep up with him in this as in most things. They were cultivators, after all.
But they also both had brothers. Wen Ning was too sickly and frail and couldn't fly; his Huisang was... well, Huaisang, and simply wouldn't fly if he could shamelessly wriggle out of it. So Mingjue agreed to go by horse and carriage, and tried not to think about how much having these people, especially this small and fiery woman, in his life had changed him.
And how life might have been without them.
