Welcome to TPP Bingo! If you do not know the positivity project, I am a submission-based blog in which members of the Life Series and adjacent fandoms can send in asks with kind words for other fandom members. While the project always has a steady stream of asks, this event is meant to help boost submissions in a fun and engaging way!
The goal of this event will be for participants to submit an appreciation ask for one fan creator per Life Series player! You should find a person who has created work related to each player and submit an ask about them, eventually filling out the entire card!
How to participate, rules, guidelines, deadline, and event tag below the cut!
How to participate:
To track your participation, save the board. When you submit someone, you write the name of the person you submitted on the square you submitted them for—if you submit "tumblruser" for Etho, write "tumblruser" under Etho's name in his square.
You win if you can complete the entire board. You may send your winning board to me and I will post it so we can congratulate you and take a moment to appreciate all the people you have collected.
If you cannot fill every square, do not worry! People can also submit their mostly completed boards if they get at least 10 squares filled for recommendations for how to fill the rest of the squares! Anyone who has submitted a mostly completed board may resubmit once the board is finished.
You can submit your completed board directly to me in an ask, or you can post it and tag @trafficblrpositivityproject !
There is no prize for winning, but I would like to post some small, lighthearted superlatives, like "quickest bingo completer" or "longest bingo ask" when the event deadline rolls around. I will also, of course, highlight everyone who submits a finished board!
Rules and guidelines:
Any type of creation is valid! Fics, AUs, cosplayers, artists, writers, analysts, web weavers, shitposters, crafters, editors, fanblogs, animators, and anything I may have missed... any type of content is valid, so long as it pertains to a specific character (GenAI is not allowed).
There is no threshold for how big of a fan someone must be to "count" for a square. The submitted fan could be someone who "mains" that particular person/character (ie, filling the Tango square with a Tango fanblog or a Tango-centric AU). It could also be someone whose work about the square's subject which the submitter enjoys (ie, filling the Pearl square by appreciating the Pearl design of an artist who mostly draws Jimmy).
Your ask must include both the username of the person you are submitting, and information as to why you are submitting them for the square you are. For example: "I am submitting tumblruser for his BigB analysis! He understands the character really well!"
Asks must follow other blog rules, such as no putting yourself or others down in an ask. Related, you cannot submit any Life Series CCs. For example, you cannot submit Martyn for Martyn day. This blog continues to be by and for fans.
There are no repeats! To try and spread positivity for as many users as possible and encourage you all to branch out, you cannot use the same person for multiple squares. For example, if you like a user's moonrot work, you will have to submit them for Cleo OR Pearl, but cannot count that user for both (though you can absolutely mention enjoying both members of the ship).
No repeats only goes for your own board. Your board can share names that are on another person's board. If someone else has submitted "tumblruser" for one square, you can still put the same user on your board.
If you submit a specific work, link it! This makes submissions a little easier for me, though if you forget the link, no problem. I will do my best to find it.
If you submit someone from off site, make sure you also comment your appreciation where they can see it! Leave a comment on youtube/tiktok videos or fics on AO3.
Every submission should have its own ask. This is not a hard rule, but a request to make my life a little easier: please try not to bulk submit five unrelated people at once for five different squares in one ask. This is to encourage people to be detailed and specific in their submissions, and to write longer asks.
Submit in any order you want! Squares are arranged in alphabetical order, but you can submit your asks however.
You do not need to mention the bingo game in your asks. You also do not need to sign them. Tracking what you have submitted will be entirely your own mission. That said, the event will have small superlatives at the end, so consider going off anon or signing your asks!
Deadline and tag:
The board will be the weekly theme from January 4th through January 17th, though asks may be submitted before and after that date!
Completed boards are due by January 31st.
I will also post silly superlatives on this date, possibly accompanying a scuffed trophy png, which I am sure is a great motivator.
I will continue accepting asks for bingo and completed boards after January 31st—if the board inspires you, it is always okay to use it!
The tag for these boards is #TPP bingo. I will use this on my posts related to the event (and other bingo boards), and you may use it if you decide to post your own board.
