Welcome to the Three Sentence Fic-A-Thon:

[caramelsilver]

This is a challenge where you answer a prompt with a fic consisting of only three sentences. It's open to all fandoms and you can post and answer as many prompts as you like. Only one prompt per comment please.

When posting a prompt please format it this way:

fandom, character/pairing, prompt word/sentence.

Lastly, please pimp this to your flist, I'd like as many as possible to come and participate!

Have fun!

If you have any questions ask them to the first comment.

Edit December 10th: Thanks to the brilliant grim_lupine we now have a delicious account. So head on over there to find some unfilled prompts: three_sentence_ficathon's delicious bookmarks.

A small note from grim_lupine who's organizing the delicious archive: "So I'm not familiar with all the fandoms here; sometimes when people post a ficlet they abbreviate a fandom and sometimes they don't (like BSG versus Battlestar Galactica, but I know that one) so I might have it listed twice in the delicious tags. If someone notices something messed up they can comment below." -- So do that, and when requesting something new, please use the fandom's whole name.

a text exchange between two Filipino Hunters*:

MESSAGE RECEIVED: Kuya, tapos na…the manananggal was no match against Ralph; I still can’t believe how brilliant that guy can fight, just armed with a buntot pagi (even Father Andrew looked seriously impressed)—Ralph tore into the mananaggal’s upper half in no time, and I’m proud to brag that Karen and I helped him rip it to shreds (though I really think we should work more with the guns and less with the itaks next time—we are not our lolos anymore, you know?) and then we salted and garlicked the lower half and burned the thing… Father Andrew said all the incantations, and as usual, he also prayed for everyone else currently on hunt...speaking of which, what’s up with you guys?

REPLY: Tol, we’re dealing with another crazy kapre, is all—I don’t think I’ll ever be able to get it’s damn smell off my clothes—and Alex has been asking around town and we think it’s befriended a tikbalang and that they’re getting a kick out of messing with the townspeople’s heads —seriously, I can’t wait to get back to the ghost hunts after we’re done with all these freaky elementals…oh yeah, did Dad text you about the dead nuns acting up in that school?

MESSAGE RECEIVED: Yeah, I did—it’s your usual centuries-old Spanish-era school…but then we heard that there’s an aswang skulking around next town, so Ralph and his little brother are the ones going after the nuns (Dad and Father Andrew think it sounds like a good first hunt for the kid) and Karen and me are joining up with her sister because they’ve both been longing for an aswang hunt —maybe you and Alex can join us later, if you aren’t sick of elementals yet…hey, you two stay safe over there, all right?

***

Kuya- older brother
Tapos na- it’s over
Tol- affectionate slang term for ‘sibling’
Lolo- grandfather
Itak- machete-like weapon, sometimes used in Filipino martial arts
Buntot pagi- stingray’s tail used as a whip

Elementals:
Manananggal- winged monster that can separate into two halves
Aswang- generic term that can refer to ghouls or vampires
Kapre- tobacco smoking giant, is a prankster
Tikbalang- humanoid creature with a horse’s head, likes getting people lost in the woods

*Trust me, if Hunters existed in the Philippines, they’d get word around via text messages ; )
