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.

"It's just a month," Nano says encouragingly, sliding a drink across the bar, and 3SF picks it up and braces themselves before taking a sip.

"One month, sure," they mutter, and finish the drink. "At least you don't have to actually pay attention to your forums."

Nano slapped Three's hand away from their keyboard, where it had been tapping a funeral dirge on the backspace button.

"What are you doing?" Nano screamed, clawing at their hair.

"Dude, chill, I wrote like... four hundred words, and if I try to cram in one more semicolon then English is going to kill me."

LOL yes, good. Having written so, so many of these across the years I can indeed confirm 400 words would be torturing punctuation to the utmost point!

Some real Faulker-level sentences, for sure! I may have been perusing the ao3 collection from last year recently and peeping the word counts, and 400 is definitely well above anything I spotted there!

Maybe a goal for us to try and reach, hmm? :p

there's an AO3 collection? I have some things to add to it

my personal record (not counting one AO3 work that's three 3SF ficlets in a trenchcoat) is 418 words, but it is Very rambly

NaNoWriMo looked at 3SF with envy. "I've never been able to write anything less than 50k and call it a success," they said, as 3SF's completions continued to tick upward. "Dashing off prompts that take no more than a drabble looks…fun, actually."
