2023 Three Sentence Ficathon - Post #1

[3sfmod]

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.

Narnia is the domain of Aslan, it's true, but he is not the only otherworldly figure that walks the land; there is Bacchus and his bride that come every year for the bacchanal, there is the river gods in every stream, and even Father Christmas every winter.

But there still older gods yet--Edmund meets a one eyed old man playing chess with a man with the head of an ibis and has to politely turn down their offer of letting him join them. Peter meets an unnerving old woman in a hut that walks on chicken legs in the north, but she was too busy bludgeoning a giant stupid enough to run afoul of her to notice the king, and frankly Peter was glad for it. Susan meets a strange woman on the side of the road, washing bloodied clothes in a stream, who looks at her and grins, saying "oh, don't worry, your majesty. These aren't the clothes of anyone you know."

Lucy encounters a strange creature as well--in the woods, late one night, she finds herself before a man so tall she almost mistook him for a giant at first. He has the hindquarters of a horse, but something tells her that he is not a real centaur any more than he is a normal man, and on his brow is a pair of massive antlers that almost look like a pair of branches. She gets the feeling that he is on the hunt and that she is in extreme danger, but then he nods to her and turns to go--whatever quarry he seeks, tonight it's not her. She watches him vanish into the trees before she can safely breathe again.

YESSSSSSS fuck yeah, wild gods everywhere. Narnia was always missing Baba Yaga.

[last_haven]

Baba Yaga is the coolest and should be in EVERYTHING.

[elementalraven]

ooohhh this is fantastic, so magical and sort of ominous, and you get a real sense that these gods are not to be messed which (as of course gods shouldn't be), so cool!! I don't think I recognize all of the gods, which ones are they?

[last_haven]

Edmund runs into Odin and Thoth, Peter saw Baba Yaga from Russian folktales, Susan met the Morrigan from Irish folklore, and Lucy meets the Horned God who shows up in lots of mythologies under various names but is also an important figure in Wicca nowadays.

[elementalraven]

oohhh amazing!!

[vialethe]

Ooooh, yes! I do love a good feral!Narnia. A god who can scare even Lucy is a horrifying thing indeed.

Love Baba Yaga beating the snot out of a dumb giant, lol.

[last_haven]

The Horned God in this was a big reference to his appearance (well, not visually, but how frightening he appears to the other characters) in The Ancient Magus's Bride.



The big question I have for both in that image and in this fill is what is it he's hunting?
