For March and April @tolkienpinupcalendar is hosting Rare Pair Bingo! This is a bingo style event. In total there will be three cards: one with the rare pairs, one with smut prompts, and one with non-smut prompts. We included a bingo card with non-smut prompts because sometimes you just want your blorbos to hold hands. We will be reblogging and sharing content from this event for all of March and April. Do not feel any pressure to complete all the prompts within one month (and don’t feel any pressure to finish all the prompts!).
Option 1: If you have one rare pair you really like or one rare pair that really speaks to you, take that pair and use the prompts to create something for them.
Option 2: You can use all the bingo cards with different pairings and different prompts for your creations!
Any fic, art, moodboard, playlist etc. will be included and we are happy to reblog!
You can use multiple prompts for one creation. These can come from different cards (pairing + smut prompt + non-smut prompt) or come from the same card (pairing + smut prompt 1 + smut prompt 2, etc.). How you use the prompt cards is up to you!
If you want to play option 1 (only one pairing but using the prompt cards) but your pairing is not on the list: No problem! Just use the free space. If your pairing is a rare pair but not included, we would love to hear about it!
How do I know if my pairing is a rare pair? If you feel it is a rare pair it’s a rare pair. Our bingo list came from a google form that one of the mods created. Some of them have 300 fics on AO3 and some have less than 25 (Borry. The answer is Borry, Boromir/Merry and I need more signed @frosticenow). We did not want to have any strict definitions for rare pairs to keep it open.
To get a bingo you need to have a line (horizontal, vertical, or diagonal) filled and this can include the free space. To get a super bingo (we did not know what else to call it) you need to fill up a card, only one card. If you fill up more than one you get more than one super bingo!
