Hi everyone!!! As you all know, I'm going away for a week, but I didn't want to leave you with nothing to do, so @circus-complex and I have made a bingo card for you all to do!
The rules are simple. Leave a comment on a fic that has no comments and fits one of the criteria on the bingo card. This time, you can only use a fic for one square each, so if you get a full house you will have left 16 comments!
Post your bingo card with the hashtag #nomorezerocommentsbingo and tag this blog, and I'll reblog as many as I can. Have fun! If you have any questions, absolutely feel free to ask.
More information and tips under the cut <3
The prompts are designed to be easy to filter for, but certain criteria may be hard to find for some fandoms. Try fandoms you don't read often or haven't read for a while, or even reading fandom-blind! The challenges are designed to be a little harder, and are not required to get a full house.
If English is not your native language but you normally read in English, reading in English still counts towards the bonus challenge. Fics translated into your native language do not count.
If you have commented on every single fic you have ever read (or there are no fics you've read previously that have no comments), leave a comment on any fic you've read before and I'll let it count because I'm nice like that
We chose 2015 as the 'read before' cut off because that's the year I (the admin) started writing fic!
"50 or less fics in the tag" can be a character, relationship or fandom tag.
A lot of people struggled to read 10k word fics for the last bingo card, so hopefully 5k will be easier for everyone!
A crossover fic should be a crossover between two distinct fandoms. For example, a crossover between two different Star Wars properties doesn't count, but a Star Wars x Batman crossover would.
"Not from the spreadsheet" is any no comment fic you found on your own without looking at the spreadsheet. It can be by an author who is on the spreadsheet but doesn't have that specific fic on there.
If a fic had zero comments when you decided to read it for this challenge, but by the time you finish it has received a comment, then I'll let that count too.
Hopefully this is enough information for you all, but please ask if you have any questions or need clarification <3
idk if you guys knew, but someone submitted *every* flufftober fic without a comment over to @nomorezerocomments!! so if anyone is suddenly getting a comment on one of their comment-less flufftober fics, that's probably thanks to that blog :>
We didn't know this before we saw your ask but we've been all so touched by the hard work and love and just pure dedication the person who did this put into it! This is no small task, and to accomplish it, you must have such a big heart.
So, whoever you are, dear person who did this:
WE LOVE YOU AND WE THANK YOU!!!
Also, another shoutout to @nomorezerocomments for their brilliant challenge!! That is such a great contribution to fandom-life, and we're all thrilled you came up with this event!
Ok, now I'm out 😅 10,000 words is the Rubicon I won't cross (at least not today and not unless it's a fic about my fav blorbo, but I fear I've already read them all 🙈).
Thank you, anonymous, for this great Bingo Card, it was a lot of fun!
And a big thank you to @nomorezerocomments for organising everything, cheering us on every day and putting so much incredible work into the project!!!

I got a bingo in the No More Zero Comment Bingo which is run by @nomorezerocomments . You get to check off a square when you comment on a fic that has zero comments.
Thanks to @friendamedes for coming up with this idea and creating this card, and for being an awesome commenter too.
I covered a lot more squares, as one can see, and I plan to continue until I cover them all. Most fics that I have read check off more than one square, but the ones in the fourth column from the left are all different. The list is behind the cut.
A blackout bingo @nomorezerocomments! Sort of...I couldn't think of any fics I read previously that didn't have comments, so I went and left more comments on 2 of my bookmarks instead.
