Hello and welcome to our mid-May through June long challenge:
Three-Sentence Fics!
Running from
May 11th to June 28th, this challenge is all about embracing brevity while still telling a complete story. The goal is simple: respond to each daily prompt with a fic made up of only
three sentences. Simple…in theory. The fun (and challenge) comes in how much you can fit into those three lines.
Your sentences can be as long or as short as you like, and all fandoms are welcome—so feel free to wander wherever your imagination takes you.
We’re also keeping alive a concept Three-beat fic structure shared by Dreamy a few years back: your story can follow three “beats” instead of strict sentences—
this happened, that happened, and then look what that caused. So whether you write exactly three sentences or shape your fic around three distinct moments, you’re good to go.
Each day, I’ll post a new prompt. This year’s inspiration comes from the growing stack of novels I’ve collected—thanks in no small part to the Book Club I somehow (and happily) fell into with my sorority. Take the prompts in any direction you like; interpretation is half the fun.
You can reply directly to the daily prompt, post a new entry here, or link out to your journal—whatever works best for you and your writing flow.
If anything’s unclear, don’t hesitate to ask. Otherwise, settle in, get creative, and enjoy the ride.
Most importantly—have fun with it.Prompt 9: “Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same.” — Emily Brontë, Wuthering Heights

Thursday ✎ Personal Taste [DW]
Today's theme is personal taste. Let's take a look into the likes and dislikes of our favorite (and least favorite?) characters. Doesn't matter if it's canon, fanon, a personal headcanon of yours, or a stray thought that hit you today. Regardless of their finances, what is a character's taste in books, music, movies, fashion, art, architecture, interior design, friends, lovers, deadly weapons... or literal taste in food? There's no need to pit anything against each other, like cats versus dogs. Also, little things are just as worth exploring as big things! Like someone's taste in pens or earrings or laundry detergent.
Feel free to add specifics to your prompts, like whether you'd prefer a gen fill over something shippy, or if you have a squick or trigger you hope to avoid. Original fiction, fanfiction, and fanfic crossovers are always welcome. ~_^
Just a few rules:
No more than five prompts in a row.
No more than three prompts in the same fandom.
Use the character's full names and the fandom's full name
No spoilers in prompts for a month after airing, or use the spoiler cut option found here. Unfortunately, DW doesn’t have a cut tag, so use your best judgment when it comes to spoilers.
If your fill contains spoilers, warn and leave plenty of space, or use the above-mentioned spoiler cut.
Prompts should be formatted as follows: [Use the character's full names and fandom's full name]
Fandom, Character +/ Character, Prompt
Some examples to get things started...
+ Devil May Cry (main game 'verse), Dante (+ any), his taste in art/home décor is more refined than he usually lets on... because he's usually broke
+ The Batman (Reevesverse), Bruce Wayne (+ any), he doesn't really eat junk food but there's one candy/chocolate that Alfred always keeps in stock for him at home
+ author's choice, any (+/ any), sometimes they just need to munch on the ice from Sonic
We are on AO3! If you fill a prompt and post it to AO3, please add it to the Bite Sized Bits of Fic from 2026 collection. See further notes on this option here.
Not feeling any of today’s prompts? You can use LJ’s advanced search options to limit keyword results to only comments in this community. Fret not, DW members; we are working on a way to search through old entries for prompts for you! As of right now, the best way to search for a lonely prompt on DW is to search the community’s archive, which can be found [[HERE]].
While the use of LJ's advanced search and DW’s archive are options, bookmarking the links of prompts you like might work better for searching in the future.
As a friendly reminder about our schedule, Lonely Prompts and sharing completed fills are encouraged on Sundays, while new themes and prompts are posted on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Saturdays are a Free for All day. We'll share our posts on DW and LJ for everyone's convenience. Keep an eye out for notifications!
If you have a Dreamwidth account and would feel more comfortable participating there, please feel free to do so… and spread the word!
