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.

Sandman, Dream, Rose, and Jed, family dinners

The stew burns, and Rose breaks two wineglasses, somehow, and in the end she just orders pizza.

"I'm sorry this is such a mess," she apologizes to Dream; "I really wanted dinner to be good, you know? Since... well, since you're the only family Jed and I have left."

"I assure you," Dream says in his ponderous way, "that I have had far worse family dinners than this."

First Steps

"Is family dinner going to be a regular thing?" Rose asked as Jed excitedly handed his dinner request to the chef; "Because if this is going to be a regular thing, you need to tell me so I can rearrange my schedule and fall asleep normally instead of you showing up out of nowhere to blow sand in my face and only explain after the fact."

(There were no gilded and leather-bound menus to match the fancy silverware and china plates of the private dining room Dream had conjured up to the left of the great hall, just two blank sheets of heavy paper that the fanged chef assured the Walker siblings would record the foods they wanted most, even if they didn't consciously know what those foods were; Rose admitted it was a neat trick, and mentally awarded Dream a half point on her tally sheet -- at this rate, he might break out of the negative before Jed was old enough to vote.)

Dream looked even more stiff and awkward than normal, which should have been anatomically impossible, but he somehow managed; "You have my apologies for the short notice, and my word that, if you and Jed find yourselves willing to attempt another meal after this, I would be willing to visit the waking world so that you may choose a time and location more convenient for you."

I figure if Dream wants to experiment with family bonding, he'd probably start in a milieu where he controls all (...almost all) of the variables, to reduce the chance of disaster. And then of course stick his foot in his mouth repeatedly anyway, because he's so bad at human interaction. :D

I love how absolutely awkward and stilted Dream is (and thus the others are in response as he just cannot do people well). =D

Thank you! He is such an awkward bean. Great and terrible cosmic power! Absolute crap at emotions and conversation.

Sandman, Dream, Rose, and Jed, A Taste of Family

Family dinners never really happened, not even before her mother and father split.

But now, Rose falls asleep and joins Jed at the Gates of Horn and Ivory, and they travel through the Dreaming (always stopping to visit Fiddler's Green) to the castle, where Dream waits for them at a table filled with every drink, every delicacy, every delicious dish you could ever dream of devouring.

He's weird and sometimes still a little creepy, but he's family and he wants them there, and Rose looks forward to the dinners, even though it's not what she dreamed of as little girl, when she thought of family get-togethers.

Rose has a strange fondness for creepy uncle Dream. :D
