thisbluespirit who first lured me in most evilly mentioned the most recent Three Sentence Comment Ficathon.
Here, let me do some luring myself!
I thought I'd try my hand at answering a few prompts, largely to see if I could rein myself in and keep my storytelling to three sentences. I also put a couple of prompts in myself. Those, by the way, are supposed to run like this: Fandom/Character(s)/Prompt in words or sentences.
I was amazed at how much fun it was; it allows someone with less than encyclopedic knowledge of a fandom to make a reasonable stab at story-telling therein (do you know some or all of the canon/fanon? Then go for it!) I've also been amazed at how many people have taken part. The first post closed to new prompts because it was nearly at Dreamwidth's 5,000-comment max, and the ficathon has continued here.
I thought I'd post the stories I wrote there over here in my journal. Some are in my favorite fandoms (and you might notice that a couple of them are my distillation of previously-written fics, proving that I should have written them shorter to begin with.) Others are crossovers, still others are in fandoms in which I've never written, but whose universes I know a bit about. I kept all of them to three sentences (which wasn't absolutely necessary, per the mods), by using my favorite tools - dashes, semi-colons, colons and the humble but useful comma. I hope you enjoy them.
