The 2013 3-Sentence Ficathon (Year-End Edition)

Dec 30, 2013 11:48

The latest round of the Three-Sentence Ficathon is still going on but here are the ones I filled a while ago. Do check out the fun, especially all the crazy Narnia/LoTR prompts that have popped up within the last few days (which I'd considering writing for but I don't have a copy of the LoTR for reference).

( The Hour, Bel/Marnie, closer )

3 sentences, misc fandoms, doctor who, narnia, once upon a time, harry potter

I've never read or watched LOTR so I am ill equipped to jump in on those too, but the rest of it is so much fun! I especially love your Doctor Who fill at the end, there.

Thank you! I'm looking forward to seeing how/where Peter Capaldi will take the role now that he's the Doctor.

I have neither the LoTR book nor the films since they are at my sister's so I barely remember the interesting little details that would make filling those prompts fun.

I don't even know enough about it to enjoy the fills, which is annoying, because there are so many to enjoy and I know if I knew the canon I'd probably appreciate them a lot. Some people have an amazing and enviable ability to read and appreciate fic for canons they don't even know, but I can't, I end up getting so confused and asking questions about backstory and it turns into a research project instead of a fun five-second read.

Enjoyment: I do it wrong.

Sometimes, the research can be fun but I feel the same way you do -- I'll start down that path and end up with a hundred questions that must be answered before I could get into the proper head space for a fill.

Oh, I love how you used the less-obvious meaning of 'splinter' for the Lucy/Caspian prompt! Poor dear Caspian, watching that last bit of ancient Narnia sail away from him forever. It really reinforces his sense of loneliness, and just how solitary he really is.

When I saw the way Ruth wrote the prompt, my first thought was definitely something Lucian.... and I'm not normally a shipper. Besides, the literal meaning of splinter seemed far too easy to write a fill for. :-)
