FAQ
Leave a comment if you have any questions. :D
(Note: FAQ taken from 1sentence and tweaked slightly.)
Q-Can I do them all in one shot? As in a whole story, from 1 to 50? Like:
1. "Hello."
2. "Hello," he replied.
A-Yes, of course! Just as long as there is one sentence for each theme. (The format is just a guideline.)
Q-Are we allowed to call dibs for the next round, in case/when the person who has the pair drops/finishes it?
A-I'm sorry, but no. You will have to either wait, or check the claimed list periodically.
Q-Are we allowed to claim general series? Like...for instance... Good Omens: General Series, no specific pairing.
A-3sentence is more focused on threesomes/moresomes, so... yeah. Sorry.
Q-Can I claim a pairing with a partner and write the sentences together, collaboratively?
A-Nope. Everyone else finishes all their themesets by themselves, so it's kind of unfair for 2+ people to finish a themeset. It's suppose to be a challenge for one person, not for a group.
Q-What if a pairing is already claimed, but there is another series/type of canon for them? Can I clam the alternative one?
A-If it's like CSI and Law and Order, with different shows with same characters, then it's okay since it's technically another series.
But if it's a series like Terry Pratchett's Discworld series then no since it is techinically apart of the same canon.
Though if it's like Saiyuki, where there are reincarnations and stuff (e.g. Konzen/Sanzo), then it is acceptable because despite having the same soul (or whatever you call it), they are essentially different beings.
Q-Are crossover pairings allowed?
A-Sure!
Q-What about none threesomes/moresomes?
A-Nope, there's all ready an asylum, 1sentence, for those kinds of claims.
Q-Is it okay if the pairings are of the angsty unrequited type, or must the love be reciprocated?
A-Of course! That's what makes it interesting.
Q-Does the pairing have to involve romantic love, or can it be platonic, friendship- or family-type love?
A-Feel free to write the pairing however you like. The purpose is the interaction and relationship between the characters.
Q-Do I have to limit the characters in my sentences to just the people in my pairing?
A-No, there is no rule on who can or cannot be in your sentences, so long as the focus of each sentence is the pairing you've claimed.
Q-I know this is a one sentence challenge community, but would it be okay if we had two or three sentences for each prompt?
A-But that's the main point of this community, see. Perhaps you could abuse dashes and semicolons?
Q-We can claim a pairing from a fandom that hasn't been listed yet, right?
A-Any fandom is welcome! It's just that I wait until a new one pops up in the claims post before adding it to the list... er, if you get what I mean.
Q-When we've finished our two pairings, are we allowed to claim new ones?
A-There are no rounds. You can claim and finish your claims whenever you want.
Q-Will the themes change or remain the same for the duration of the community?
A-To avoid confusion, etc., the themes will remain the same.
Q-Are real people pairings allowed?
A-I think it's all right as long as you put the include the standar disclaimer claiming that the events are fictional/the product of your own imagination. If a certain actor, athlete, ect, has stated that they don't like that sort of thing please respect their wishes.
Q-The pairing I want to claim is currently claimed by someone else. What can you do about that?
A-Currently, there is nothing we can do about it. Your best bet would be to get in contact with the user who has the pairing in question claimed and see how far along they are, if they've forgotten about it, or eve don't intend to finish. As soon as they post their sentences to the community or drop their claim, you can claim it.
