STRANGER THINGS MERMAY BINGO 2026
We're going a little smaller this year, with 3x3 cards. Again, both writing and any form of human-made art is welcome! If you're a swarm of roaches in a meat-suit, please reach out to me to discuss what being human really means.
Important for last year participants: your unfilled prompts from the 2025 card can be transferred! That idea you had but didn't get to? Now is your chance!
Rules:
Minimum word count is 300
You can combine max 2 prompts, but then the minimum is doubled to 600 words
You can write/art any ship any theme any genre (Yes, even that one!)
Tag the ships or characters in your work
Tag mature and explicit content, and put it under "read more"
Use "read more" for longer works as well
Warn your readers! If you don't want to spoil your work, you can be vague or use "chose not to tag"
"Author chose not to tag" means there may be disturbing content so proceed with caution
Minors are allowed to join, but please respect others' DNIs
