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.

Jiejie had died in a gown embroidered with her beloved green plum blossoms, the same flower that refused to bloom on that dry plant sitting still innocently in the courtyard of Yi Kun Palace, no matter the efforts of the palace’s best gardeners, because green plum blossoms hailed from the south and could not thrive in these cold northern climes.

Hailan turned the green plum blossom hairpin in her hand - it had been a long time since she had last worn it, because it simply stood out now at her age; but when she had been younger, the green plum blossom was an ever present in her hair, albeit so often nestled behind showier, brighter jades and kingfisher feather blues - then, only she and Jiejie ever understood why Hailan valued this green plum blossom hairpin more than any other priceless baubles bestowed on her by the emperor.

Now, Hailan reached with trembling hands into the coffin and tucked the delicate crystal hairpin in between the layers of of Jiejie’s gown; there she would have to be satisfied with it remaining for all eternity, pressed against Jiejie’s heart.

SHE LEFT IT NESTLED AGAINST HER HEART!!! I am gonna cry over them again, this hurts me so very much in the best possible ways. Also! The callback to the gnarled, dead tree, the imagery of Hailan no longer being able to wear the plum blossom hairpin nowadays where she older - but not just in age, it feels like this is some part of their younger, more innocent years she had held on to. And now giving this to Ruyi as she says her goodbyes... I just hurt!

Thank you so much for writing this!
