BTB2020: That’s a wrap!

We are very excited to announce that Banned Together Bingo 2020 has now wrapped!

BADGES

Badges are being sent now! You will receive a badge in your inbox shortly if you fulfilled any of the criteria listed below. Each participant who filled one or more squares will receive one badge. The only exception is if you completed the optional “Gen-tle Giant” badge on your Gen-tle Giant card, and also completed the Above and Beyond badge on your main card, in which case you will receive both the Gen-tle Giant and Above and Beyond badges.

Participant: 1-4 fills

You Sunk my Censorship: 5 or more fills with no bingo

Bingo Winner: 5 fills in a row, any direction

Blackout: all squares filled

Gen-tle Giant: You complete a blackout of your card, and all of your submissions are rated G (General Audiences)

Above and Beyond: Got a blackout and filled at least 5 additional prompts from the masterlist

If you do not receive the badge you expected, it’s possible that we sent you a tag change request that was not fulfilled. Please check your inbox for any emails from us, and email us back with any lingering tag changes so we can credit you accordingly. If you cannot find any tag change request emails, please email us again with the link to your work. You have until April 15, 2021 to make any necessary changes.

THE COLLECTION

Our final AO3 collection contains over 1000 works! Check out the AO3 collection here. The bookmark collection is searchable by prompt and is located here. If you’re interested in metadata, check out the AO3-compiled tag cloud of the collection here!

FUTURE PLANS

As you can see, it is now a quarter of the way into 2021, which only gives us 2-3 months to plan for the next round. Thus, we will be taking a break in 2021. However…

We will be coming back in 2022 with a brand new round of Banned Together Bingo! We’ll be making some changes to the event based on all the participant feedback from this round, including a revised prompts list and a revised Do Not Want (DNW) policy. Remember, if you’d like to send us suggestions, please use the feedback form. All feedback is appreciated, including ideas for prompts! Compliments are welcome too. The feedback form will remain open until May 1, 2021. 

OUR GRATITUDE

We want to thank every single one of you for weathering the storm and adjusting to the ups and downs of our first round. As moderators, we all learned and grew tremendously during the year-long running of this event. Our goal was to provide a space for fan creators to explore topics that have been blanket-banned at some point in time. We also wanted to show people how tags can be used to curate their fandom experience and help them make informed decisions about the content they interact with. We hope we were able to accomplish that.

Thank you again for participating in Banned Together Bingo 2020! See you in 2022!

Best,

The Banned Together Bingo 2020 Mods

PSA: Status Update

Hello, BTB2020 participants!

We are still working through the massive influx of works we got in January, especially during the last two weeks of that month, so please keep checking your inboxes for any tag change requests. We will allow additional times for tag changes for any tag change requests that we send after February 28, 2021. Exceptions will also be made on a case-by-case basis for tag change requests sent before February 28, 2021.

In addition, several mods got hit with issues affecting their availability and online access, such as winter storms and utility outages, so there will be a delay in sending badges. Thank you very much for your patience, and we hope to be in touch soon!

BTB2020 Reminders

Hello, BTB2020 participants!

First of all, happy new year. You’ve survived 2020, and that in itself is an accomplishment. 2020 was certainly a very informative, educational, and challenging year for your moderators. Thank you for sticking with us while we made improvements and adjustments.

We’re coming up on the home stretch of Banned Together Bingo 2020! Please see below for a few reminders. 

Deadline

The BTB2020 AO3 collection will close on January 31, 2021 at 11:59 PM PST (what time is that for me?). As a reminder, we extended the deadline from December 31, 2020 to January 31, 2021 to account for the two-week hiatus in June 2020. 

Works Pending Approval into the BTB2020 AO3 Collection

If you submitted a work for review in or after October 2020, but it has not been added to the collection yet, then we are still reviewing the work for tags. 

If you submitted a work prior to October 2020, but it has not been added to the collection yet, then one of the following may apply:

The work is currently a work-in-progress (WIP) and will be reviewed once it is complete. *If the work was submitted and approved as a complete one-shot but changed into a WIP after approval, then it was removed from the collection. It will be re-reviewed when it is complete. Please send additional work submission forms as necessary. 

The work requires tag changes that have not yet been made. Please check your email inbox for our tag change request. Don’t forget to check your spam or junk mail folder. 

A work submission form was never submitted for the work, so the work was never reviewed for tags. Please send in a work submission form for the work.

The work was approved for tags, but it was not submitted to the BTB2020 AO3 collection. Please check your AO3 Collections Page for an invitation for the work to be added to the BTB2020 AO3 collection. 

Remember, you must submit a work submission form for each square that you have filled on your bingo card. This applies even if you submitted the work to the AO3 collection when you posted it. Additionally, WIPs will not be reviewed until they are complete. Please see the Rules and FAQ for more details.

If you are unsure of the status of your work(s), please check your email inbox and your AO3 Collections Page first. If you do not find the answer in either place, then email us with the link(s) to your work(s) and we will let you know the status accordingly. 

Badges

Badges will be awarded after we have confirmed which squares were filled on each card. The plan is to email them out in February 2021. The badge options are listed below. Each participant will receive one badge. The only exception is if you complete the optional “Gen-tle Giant” badge on your Gen-tle Giant card, and also the Above and Beyond badge on your main card, in which case you’ll get both the Gen-tle Giant and Above and Beyond badges.

Participant: 1-4 fills

You Sunk my Censorship: 5 or more fills with no bingo

Bingo Winner: 5 fills in a row, any direction

Blackout: all squares filled

Gen-tle Giant: You complete a blackout of your card, and all of your submissions are rated G (General Audiences)

Above and Beyond: Got a blackout and filled at least 5 additional prompts from the masterlist

Thank you for participating in Banned Together Bingo 2020. We’re looking forward to wrapping up the event and celebrating everyone’s creations!

Best,

The Banned Together Bingo 2020 Mods

[bannedtogetherbingo2020]

The AO3 collection is now closed! Thank you to all who submitted works for Banned Together Bingo 2020!

Please remember to send in a work submission form for each fill you want credited to your card. We’ll leave the work submission form up until tomorrow (February 1, 2021) to account for any forgotten forms.

We will be spending the next month reviewing any remaining pending works and adding them to the collection. Please check your email for tag change requests throughout the month of February and make the changes as soon as possible. Only works that were approved and added to the collection, and that were completed during the active bingo period (May 9, 2020 to January 31, 2021), will be credited as fills and count towards your badge.

Note: We are aware of the AO3 time zone glitch, so if your work was posted on January 31, 2021 but AO3 says it posted on February 1, 2021, please do not worry. If it’s in our AO3 collection queue and has an accompanying work submission form, it will be reviewed!

Badges will be sent later in the month. We’ll also be updating you all on future plans for the bingo at that time. Please stay tuned for updates through email and tumblr. Now take a deep breath, relax, and enjoy the feeling of accomplishment!

First of all, happy new year. You’ve survived 2020, and that in itself is an accomplishment. 2020 was certainly a very informative, educational, and challenging year for your moderators. Thank you for sticking with us while we made improvements and adjustments.

We’re coming up on the home stretch of Banned Together Bingo 2020! Please see below for a few reminders. 

Deadline

The BTB2020 AO3 collection will close on January 31, 2021 at 11:59 PM PST (what time is that for me?). As a reminder, we extended the deadline from December 31, 2020 to January 31, 2021 to account for the two-week hiatus in June 2020. 

Works Pending Approval into the BTB2020 AO3 Collection

If you submitted a work for review in or after October 2020, but it has not been added to the collection yet, then we are still reviewing the work for tags. 

If you submitted a work prior to October 2020, but it has not been added to the collection yet, then one of the following may apply:

The work is currently a work-in-progress (WIP) and will be reviewed once it is complete. *If the work was submitted and approved as a complete one-shot but changed into a WIP after approval, then it was removed from the collection. It will be re-reviewed when it is complete. Please send additional work submission forms as necessary. 

The work requires tag changes that have not yet been made. Please check your email inbox for our tag change request. Don’t forget to check your spam or junk mail folder. 

A work submission form was never submitted for the work, so the work was never reviewed for tags. Please send in a work submission form for the work.

The work was approved for tags, but it was not submitted to the BTB2020 AO3 collection. Please check your AO3 Collections Page for an invitation for the work to be added to the BTB2020 AO3 collection. 

Remember, you must submit a work submission form for each square that you have filled on your bingo card. This applies even if you submitted the work to the AO3 collection when you posted it. Additionally, WIPs will not be reviewed until they are complete. Please see the Rules and FAQ for more details.

If you are unsure of the status of your work(s), please check your email inbox and your AO3 Collections Page first. If you do not find the answer in either place, then email us with the link(s) to your work(s) and we will let you know the status accordingly. 

Badges

Badges will be awarded after we have confirmed which squares were filled on each card. The plan is to email them out in February 2021. The badge options are listed below. Each participant will receive one badge. The only exception is if you complete the optional “Gen-tle Giant” badge on your Gen-tle Giant card, and also the Above and Beyond badge on your main card, in which case you’ll get both the Gen-tle Giant and Above and Beyond badges.

Participant: 1-4 fills

You Sunk my Censorship: 5 or more fills with no bingo

Bingo Winner: 5 fills in a row, any direction

Blackout: all squares filled

Gen-tle Giant: You complete a blackout of your card, and all of your submissions are rated G (General Audiences)

Above and Beyond: Got a blackout and filled at least 5 additional prompts from the masterlist

Thank you for participating in Banned Together Bingo 2020. We’re looking forward to wrapping up the event and celebrating everyone’s creations!

Best,

The Banned Together Bingo 2020 Mods
