We're over half way through the Three Sentence Ficathon.  It's cold and miserable in the U.S. and lots of people are really hurting.  This ficathon is intended to be a respite from the awful.  And, if you've been holding off because it's all so overwhelming, as expected, the second post went up, and things quieted down a lot.  It's actually really slow.  So now is the perfect time to check it out.  There are many open prompts and it would be great to see you there. 

The smaller, slower Post 2, is here and the first post (with over 5000 comments so captcha is on) is here. 


conuly 's post with unfilled prompts (optional -- it's wonderful for some people but really can fill prompts that have already been filled or reprompt something). 


And, in very somber news, if you are in Texas, I hope you've found a respite.  If you are looking to connect with aid organizations, either for help or to donate, I found some good links here and here.
