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.

[Miraculous Ladybug] archival ink

"Excuse you, I have five tattoos," Marinette says with exaggerated primness, whipping off her blazer to show them off: on one shoulder, a yin-yang in red resin and uninked instead of white and black, and on the other, two mandarin orange halves and a baguette with an orange-sized globe, on which the Black and Adriatic Seas are weirdly tiny next to the proportionately sized Mediterranean and Aegean. She tugs her collar down to show off the third tattoo, the A&W Root Beer logo but in wintergreen and plum blossom pink, framed by buttercups and bluebells, with the W reversed and a heart replacing the ampersand; she has to strip down a little to uncover the fourth one (Marinette explains, rolling down one thigh-high and flipping up her skirt), on which the hiragana guiding pronunciation make clear the 知己 written in black over the polka-dot red tiki torch is not hanzi reading zhījǐ but kanji reading chiki, though the idea of a friend who knows you that deeply comes across in either language, and why are there hiragana for ta, te, and to but not ti or tu, anyway?

"These must all have meant something to me before," Marinette muses, examining the black kitten on her forearm (his bitty claws out to disembowel a ball of yarn as green as his eyes) that prompted this conversation, and across the room, the tall blond cute guy whose attention she's been trying to get for six weeks turns away.

God, I need to watch this show. This is evocative, even knowing nothing about the character. Love the specificity/amnesia combo! A mystery!
