And now here we have the more info post.
What's all this then? This is a bingo event. What that means is that you sign up during the scheduled sign up period, and then I, the skeleton behind this Tumblr account, will send you a randomized 4x4 bingo card with 16 prompts ready to go.
I don't want this and that thing. The full list will be provided when sign up begins and you'll be able to opt out of prompts that you absolutely do not want to get on your card, up to 3 total.
Is this a fanfic only event? No definitely not! You can write, you can create art, you can make a fanvid, you can do whatever fandom activity tickles your fancy.
How do I WIN? You can get a bingo in different ways. Maybe create one big thing with a line of four prompts. Maybe create four smaller things with a different prompt each. Maybe go crazy and cover the entire card for the ultimate bingo.
WHAT do I win? The honor and pride of a job well done, yaaay.
Are there any rules about content? Don't create things with generative AI. Otherwise no. You know what you're about, create what you want. No minimum word count, no maximum word count. Any rating you feel like doing, any format. Be nice. Be chill.
What's the timeline like on this? The sign-up period will be three weeks long. The cards will be sent out by email over the following week. After that you're free, there's no deadline for completing works. Above all else we will be keeping this chill. I will be making a round-up post of sorts after a couple months and I will post about that to let people know, so if you want a creation deadline, you've got that to work toward.
Why this weirdness obsession of yours, Ms. Skeleton? I decided to start this thing to encourage people to let go of some of the insecurities and second-guesses they might have built up. Fandom's supposed to be kind of silly, to me. People get so serious about it though. Not everything's gotta be serious, you know?
Hey! That prompt isn't weird at all! I want my money back. One person's sex pollen is another person's mundane AU. And anything can be done off the wall, if you try. I've done my best to make the prompt pool a good mix of different types of unusual.
Okay but WHEN? Soon. July. I will make a post probably a week or so before sign-ups begin as a warning.
If you've got any more questions not covered already, feel free to send an ask.
