PSA to fic readers, it is so hard to freak a fic writer out with your comments. we are just as crazy about the fic as you are.
tell me you love it. tell me it made you slam your laptop shut. tell me you brought it up at your college lecture about kink. key smash in all caps. quote the passage that made you think. i promise, we’ll love it.
we spend hours thinking about it, writing it, editing it. there is no such thing as over enthusiasm when you’re talking about our fics to us. we are sooooo weird about them, i assure you. you are just matching my freak. the freak bar is already set so high. feel no anxiety about enjoying something and letting the creator know.
Hello folks! I’m so glad to see that y’all are excited about the event 💕 It’s come to my attention that there were some errors on a couple of boards, such as typos or repeated prompts! I’ve fixed the ones I’ve found and updated them in the drive folder, but if you receive a board with repeated prompts or a typo, please do send an ask and let me know, so that I can fix the cards!
It’s time for a good old fashioned summer reading challenge and what could be a better excuse to share our love for all the wonderful fanworks in the Benoit Blanc Mysteries fandom?

Getting your bingo card:
Use a random number generator and roll for a number (either 1-85 if you want to get wild, or you can specify the listed ranges if you want a card from a specific category).
Open the bingo sheet google drive folder and select the card corresponding to the number you rolled.
✍️ Filling out your bingo sheet ✍️
Each box on the bingo sheet is a prompt for either a type of work you should leave a comment on (i.e. “fic with <1000 words”), or a type of comment (“ask a question”). When you’ve completed the prompt, cross out the box.
One comment fulfills one box. So, if you leave a comment asking a question on a “fic with <1000 words,” this comment can count for either “ask a question" OR ”<1000 words,“ but NOT both.
A “comment” to fulfill a bingo box can be: A comment on AO3 or a reblog on tumblr with a comment in the tags or text box (for fic/art posted to tumblr). There is no length requirement on a comment—even something as simple as “love this!” counts as a fill.
🚂 Participating in the hype train 🚂
You are encouraged to make posts that share recs and fanworks as you work on your bingo sheet. If you get a “bingo” (5 boxes on the bingo sheet in a row) or “blackout” (all the boxes filled), you can make a post showing us! If you @ us, we’ll reblog the evidence of your amazing success. We’d love to see the titles or links to the fics and fanworks you commented on!
You are also encouraged to comment on, add to, and share posts about the event! Help your friends hunt down or discover fanworks they might like. The event tag is #benoit blanc bingo, so have at it!
