Niche Shameless Comment Bingo

Thanks to @feedthefandomfest for the concept and bingo cards templates!

The August event has no time limit. Pick one or more bingo card(s) to fill at your pace!

The goal is to show love to the underrated corners of the Shameless US fandom. To help you discover existing niche creations, and to encourage creators to keep writing and making art.

If you’re not familiar with this account, niche creations refers to anything not focused on Ian x Mickey as a pairing. They can be present as a background pairing or simply as separate characters [see the intro post for more details].
