FAQs

Rules?

Like the last time, the rules are only for being included in this collection and on tumblr.

Otherwise you are free to engage / participate / use the prompts however you want, we only ask you to credit us for the bingo card.

How does this work?

Generally speaking, you can use this bingo card any way you like.

Usually, these challenges work like this: you pick a line of 5 prompts (horizontal, vertical, or diagnoal) and then try to write them all to have a Bingo.

We are not going to use this challenge as a competition, however, so you can actually write them all, just write one, write it like it’s suggested above, or any way you like, really. And also, there will be no deadline. So everyone can write at their own pace.

How do I submit?

On AO3: While editing your work, select --> Post to Collections / Challenges and add “Desus Holiday Bingo 2k19 (desus_holiday_bingo_2k19)” (be careful not to select the old 2k17 collection!)

On Tumblr: tag us!! @desussquad and #desus holiday bingo 2k19

Do I have to submit?

No! You may do as you please, we will only ask you to give credit for the bingo card and have fun, nothing else ;)

Does it have to be about "Christmas"?

No. All of these prompts are open for your own individual interpretation.

Does it have to be fanfic?

No! You can do whatever you want with these prompts, and here at tumblr we will try to reblog your fanart/edit if you submit right and the rules aren’t broken.

Rules:

1) We reserve the right to reject being incuded in this collection or on tumblr if there is any issue with the work or it doesn’t comply with the rules.

But you can of course use these prompt cards however you want, these rules are only for being included in the collection or to be reblogged on tumblr.

2) This challenge is for Daryl x Jesus only. There may be other side-ships for other characters in the background, but since this is a Desus Bingo, we will ask you to stick to Daryl x Jesus for Jesus and Daryl if you want your work to be included in this collection or on tumblr.

3) No non-con

4) No dub-con

5) No pornographic underage content; to know more about what is meant here, please read "What do you mean by “underage”" here : https://archiveofourown.org/tos_faq

Traditions

@desussquad   I am so excited for this holiday bingo I might have written this fic in an hour when I should be sleeping but when the desus feels hit I just gotta get them out. I hope everyone enjoys.

I used the squares: wreath, tradition, celebration, silent night and cold feet/hands.

Growing up Daryl’s family hadn’t been the type for any kind of traditions. They didn’t dye eggs at Easter, never had a barbecue for the fourth of July and certainly didn’t hang a wreath or garland at Christmas. Holidays were a nonevent at the Dixon home, except Saint Patrick’s day which their old man loved for obvious reasons.

Snowstorm

@desussquad I hope you guys like this fic, I know maybe I am writing too much too fast but I really love desus and christmas/ the holidays. Enjoy all!

I used squares: stuck, fireplace, celebration, music and pajamas.

It was supposed to be a quick trip, run to Alexandria and drop off some herbs from Enid. A few people in the Safe Zone had come down with a nasty cold and Siddiq wanted to try to knock it out before it spread around too much. Paul had happily volunteered to ride them over, Daryl tagging along since it had been a few weeks since he had last stopped by the other community.

Aw this is so cute and lovely. I feel I must admit to hitting a lot of these festive tropes in 3 of my fics if anyone is interested!

We have:

Of Tinned Turkey and Hilltop Hooch (Ex!)

The Festive Tribulations of Daryl Dixon (Gen)

Bad Secret Santa (Ex!)

All with varying degrees of festive naughtiness. Featuring pine tree, Secret Santa, music, decorating and togetherness respectively!

Merry Christmas beautiful Desus Squad!

Love Lori aka @lorstone 🎅

Thank you, Tom🌈

This time, instead of a challenge, exchange, or bingo, we‘re doing something different: Tom Payne‘s time on The Walking Dead has come to an end. Even though most of us were saddened or angered by Jesus being axed from the show, we all still share our gratitude for Tom Payne’s enthusiasm, hard work, and pride in taking on one of the comic’s most iconic characters — though the show gave him precious little to reward his efforts.

Some of us will have the chance to meet Tom Payne at German ComicCon on 13th-14th of April, and we‘d like to share this opportunity with as many other fans as possible. If you‘d like to thank Tom in a more personal way than a Twitter reply or Instagram comment, we‘ll make it happen.

This is a call for letters and cards to be given to Tom at ComicCon, to express all of our gratitude and continued support of his work. We will collect these letters, cards, mails, and notes and make sure he gets them!

Now, we are sure you have questions, and we‘ve tried to answer some of them below:

How do I sign up?

Please send an email to “desussquad(at)gmail.com” with the subject “Tom Payne” and let us know if you‘ll be sending physical mail or electronic mail.

What can I send?

Letters and cards only please! We‘ll be travelling and will have to adhere to venue bag size limits, so we won‘t be able to take along big gifts — neither will Tom himself. Gifts within letters that aren’t bulky (like drawings etc.) are of course okay.

Where do I send my letter/card?

You will be provided with an address to send your letters to via email.

I‘d rather not send physical mail.

That‘s fine! We realise that this may not be an option for everyone, so we will also accept submissions via email. These will be printed out and given to Tom alongside the physical mail.

What‘s the deadline?

All physical and electronic mail will have to arrive by 6th of April to ensure we can take them along. Please make sure to take your mail carrier‘s delivery times into consideration. Most post offices and mail company websites will be able to give you an estimate.

I don’t know what to say.

We‘ve all felt like that at some point - don‘t worry about it! It doesn’t have to be deep and complex, or be of essay length.

If you can‘t think of anything to say, or how to express yourself in English, even a nice postcard or artwork with nothing more than a “Thank you, Tom” on it will be enough and just as appreciated.

Is there anything you won‘t accept?

We‘re not the letter police and won‘t religiously scan everything sent to us, or open sealed/closed letters, but we do have some favours to ask:

1. Keep it appropriate.

If you wouldn‘t say it to Tom‘s face, don’t put it in a letter.

2. Keep it positive.

PLEASE don‘t use your letter to rant about TWD.

We know it‘s tempting, a lot of us are still angry and frustrated about how Jesus was treated on the show, but we don‘t want Tom to read fifty angry rants.

We want this to be about love, appreciation, and support.

3. Cards / letters (including artwork) only!

No food, bulky gifts, statues, flowers, porcelain, clothes, or any other big utensil. If we receive those, we’ll keep them as a souvenir 😜

Any other questions? Please hit our askbox! And please pass this on to everybody, also other platforms if you want ❤️

[desussquad]

Hey! I’d like to participate for the Thank you Tom! I’m not sure if I’ll write a card or not but I’ll think of something before April 6!

That’s great! Make sure to contact us via Email if you are ready to send / want address info :)

🎉
