Saw Summer Bingo: bruises and bites

[sawsummerbingo]

Spring is nearing an end, and summer is just around the corner! That means it’s almost time for the season of sun, surf, and…Saw?

Yes! SAW!

Slip on some shades and dive in because you’ve been invited to participate in Saw Summer Bingo! Challenge yourself to create through the season, using a bingo board of summery prompts to inspire your Saw fan works!

This event runs from June 21st to September 21st, all season long!

Cross spaces off your Bingo board by incorporating the prompt into your creation. The goal is to get a bingo, but you can create as much or as little as you'd like for this event. This is for fun and there's no pressure to complete a row.

Two bingo boards with 24 prompts + 1 free space each will be posted on June 1st. You are free to play using one or both of them!

Fan works of all kinds are welcome, including but not limited to one shots, long fics, fanart, comics, video edits, collages, physical crafts, etc.

No sign-up is required to participate in this event. It will remain open, unmoderated, and self-led.

All prompts will be open to interpretation! Don't be afraid to get creative with your take on the prompt, no matter how classic a trope.

Stay tuned for event updates! If there is enough interest, we could potentially create an event discord for workshopping ideas and getting feedback. If you have any questions, feel free to message or drop them under this post! Come back to this page on June 1st to see the posted event Bingo boards!

Hoffman finally allows himself to grieve for his sister, albeit against his will.

Strahm is there to help pick up his broken pieces.

Event Info

Happy June! Happy Pride! Happy Saw Summer Bingo!

We've curated a fun mix of summery tropes, traditional prompts, and horror scenarios for your Saw centered creations! Each board consists of 24 prompts and a free space. All prompts are meant to be open to interpretation and taken as figuratively or literally as you’d like!

You can create as many works as you want and incorporate prompts however you see fit. If you want to really challenge yourself and go for a board black out, you’re welcome to and we wish you luck! If you only find yourself inspired by one or two prompts and don’t end up getting a bingo before the end of summer, we’re still excited to see what you create and happy to have you as part of the event! While the goal is to get Bingo, this event is meant to be as flexible as you’d like it to be so there’s absolutely no pressure to “win”.

The game period runs June 21st - September 21st! We will post an AO3 collection link sometime within the next couple of weeks! So excited to see what everyone creates!!!

Bingo Space Spotlight! pt. 1

With the start of summer and the beginning of our game period just two weeks away, we wanted to highlight a few prompts each day in the lead up! We hope that this potentially inspires you and gets the creative juices flowing! Let us know what prompts you're most excited about!

BYOT (Build Your Own Trap)

While most of the prompts on our bingo boards aren’t saw-specific, this one sure is! With a whopping total of 73 distinct traps, Saw has made tearing people apart into an art. We all have our favorites, the ones we can’t look away from and the ones we fast forward through.

We’re inviting you to BYOT, or Build Your Own Trap, to potentially include in one of your Saw Summer Bingo pieces! Is it a bathroom-inspired puzzle? A gory contraption? A rigged game? Whatever you come up with, we’re excited to see what grizzly places your imagination may take you!

Spend The Night

Are you interested in writing about two characters taking their relationship to the next level? How about a spooky sleepover in a derelict location? Maybe you want to incorporate the classic ‘there was only one bed’ trope?

Luckily, this prompt is wide open for your interpretation, regardless of what tone you want to lean into, and we can’t wait to see how your characters choose to spend their night.

Sunburn

For many, one of the worst parts of the season is that dreaded UV index. Some of us don’t even know we’re being burned until our skin is already stinging. Burns can be painful, even deadly, leading to sun poisoning and blisters. That being said, this prompt doesn’t have to be all bad! Afterall, who doesn’t love the feeling of cool aloe vera on sun scorched shoulders? Sounds like the start of a tender summer romance to me!

Rivalry

Whether we’re talking about enemies to lovers, long standing family feuds or run-ins with an arch nemesis, rivalries are the basis for some of the most iconic tropes in media.

There’s no shortage of rivalries in the Saw franchise to choose from and there's certainly some unexplored one's that you can dig into. We hope this prompt gives you ample room to explore character relationships and can be easily incorporated into your pieces.
