Got my card for Pitt AU Bingo and ooh, I am giddy over these prompts!
I've got pretty solid ideas for everything I want to do, except that serial killer AU. I can't decide if I want to go more Springsteen's Nebraska or Ludo's Love Me Dead. And no, it can't be both, because there might be a playlist to go with that one.
Welcome to The Pitt AU Bingo! Please see below the cut for more information.
Timeline:
Sign-Ups now open here.
Posting begins: August 1st
Last day to turn in a Bingo for a badge: October 31st
How does it work?
By filling out this form, you are signing up to receive a bingo card with 24 random AUs (Alternate Universes) via e-mail.**
You will receive your Bingo card within 24 hours of signing up.
It is then up to you to create fanworks inspired by those AUs to create a Bingo by matching five or more AU squares!
You can request one re-roll of up to three AUs if you aren't comfortable/inspired by some of your prompts.
Once you reach a Bingo (see requirements below), you will be rewarded with nifty badge to show off your AU-creating prowess.
Pairings, characters, ratings, warnings are all up to creator's discretion.
These prompts aren't meant to be limiting! Interpret to your heart's content.
SFW prompts can be used to create NSFW creations (or vice-versa). Whatever inspires you!
Example Board:
You can mix and match prompts to your heart's content.
Say you wanted to write a fic about Dennis Whitaker being a psychic in the 80s? Cross off "80s" "Psychic" and "Bakery."
How about law student!Samira Mohan in a sorority in college, falling in love with architect!Jack Abbot? That's right, “Lawyer,” "College," "Greek Life," and "Architect" would all count.
Want to finally let Mel King live her fantasy princess dreams? Boom! Two AUs crossed off!
Or, keep it simple. Frank Langdon growing up in a small town? That's just "Small Town" completed.
And just like that, you have your first Bingo! You can use as many or as few AUs as you like for each fill!

It's Disability Pride Month, which means that, once again, I have to remind the general populace that people with invisible and chronic illnesses are still disabled. And if you're telling a disabled person that they need to be more visibly disabled (or, for that matter, telling any marginalized person that they need to be more visibly marginalized) in order to "count" or "matter" or "be credible", then you're not an ally, you're an asshole.
