Sign-ups now open for Waycest Fest Bingo!
If you've never participated in this kind of event before, here are the basics: participants will complete a sign-up form with some basic guidance around what kinds of prompts they do/don't want to receive. Then, each participant will get a randomly generated bingo card with nine prompts, spun up from an extensive list of possibilities, selected at random and in a random order! From there, your goal is simple: create any number of works inspired by the prompts on your board to achieve a horizontal, vertical, diagonal, or blackout bingo.
Here's what you need to know:
Sign up here. Hopefully the form is fairly straightforward, but if you have any questions, please reach out!
Cards will go out on a rolling basis. If it's been a week since you signed up and you haven't heard from a mod yet, feel free to reach out—but please know it might take us a couple days!
Once you get your card, please have a look for any prompts you might want to swap out (maybe DNFs you missed on the form or just something you really don't jive with) and let the mod team know if you'd like to get those prompts re-rolled. However, you only get one re-roll, so choose wisely!
Sign-ups will run until June 30th, on which date posting will also begin—the same day tour kicks back off in Liverpool! Feel free to post your work on Tumblr (tag us!), AO3 in the bingo collection or main Waycest Fest collection, or wherever else you like.
Any kinds of fanwork—fic, podfic, filk, art, mixes, moodboards, gifs, edits, crochet, macrame, interpretive dance—are welcome. However, as always, no participants who are under 18, and no AI whatsoever. Also, feel free to combine prompts however you like. If you think you can get a blackout with just one work, by all means, we'd love to see it!
Waycest Fest Bingo will end and the collection will close on November 30, about a week after MCR wraps up touring in Asia.
Those of you who achieve bingo will receive two prizes: a well-earned sense of pride and mod AKA's very most enthusiastic round of applause.
Still have questions? Drop us a line! Otherwise, we'll see you at the bingo table!
