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.

LOTR, Eowyn & Merry, conversations on the road to war

Eowyn didn't say much, other than ask how Merry was doing, because what does one say when riding to what most likely will be their end?

Merry occasionally broke the silence by talking about food; tarts, scones, various kinds of cheese & his Mother's stew recipe.

A pint of ale from The Prancing Pony was mentioned with a wistful sigh.

Aww, really nice! <3 Some hobbitish preoccupation with comfort is just the thing to keep from spiraling into despair.

"Supposing we survive today... what do you think we'll do next?" Eowyn asked between practice swings of her sword.

"I guess it depends on how long the battle lasts," Merry mused candidly.

"If it's over early enough, we should be able to make time for lunch afterward."

arveldis: Éowyn at Théodred's funeral (Default)
From: [personal profile] arveldis
“I don’t want to die here in this strange land, far from my home and my friends,” Merry said quietly, more comfortable confessing his fears now that the thudding of hooves and jingling of tack could hide his voice from the riders around them, and feeling as if he must say these things now because the army had broken camp for the last time, and the end and his doom drew nearer with every stride Windfola took toward Minas Tirith.

Merry felt small and out of place among all the tall, fearless riders who rode to battle and death with grim faces; his courage flagged now that war waited on the horizon, and not even Dernhelm’s steady presence at his back could comfort him; and as he waited for the rider to speak, he felt suddenly foolish that he had spoken so before one of Théoden’s riders.

At last, Dernhelm spoke from behind him, his voice quiet and even: “Stay with me, and I will protect you as I can,” and Merry wondered at the young rider’s lack of fear in the face of certain death; but then he remembered with a chill the expression he had seen on Dernhelm’s face, the look of one without hope who sought death, and he wondered how one so young and so kind could be burdened with such deep despair.
