lady_smutterellaRight, my loves. 2017 is not off to the most promising of starts, right? We need to do something to keep our spirits up.
There is nothing right now that makes me happier than fandom and the friends I have made in it, and what brings us together more than stories?
So, I am going to run a bandom bingo - to encourage more stories and more love.
Rules are simple:
1) Ask me for a card in a comment on this post (comments are screened), and I will send you a card. Let me know:
a) Your name
b) What size card you would like (3x3, 4x4, or 5x5)
c) If there are any tropes you would like to avoid
d) An email address I can send the card to (since apparently I can't upload pictures directly to comments!)
2) Write stories, draw pictures, record podfic, make fan mixes, recommend other stories… Anything. As with normal bingo, you can complete a line in any direction, or complete a full house.
3) Post your story to wherever you like and let me know here so I can pimp the hell out of it. If you are posting to AO3, you can add it to this collection: http://archiveofourown.org/collections/Bandom_Bingo_2017
4) When you’ve completed a line or a full house, let me know and I will work out a treat, tailored just to you.
I really want this as flexible and supportive as I can, so I am happy for you to write any sized card for any bands you want (all the regular bandom favourites, obviously, but also AAR or AFI – even One Direction if you really must, Jiksa)
As for what you can do? Well, this is that I would think are the minimum standards:
Fanfic: 200 words
Fanart: rough sketches
Fanmix: 5 songs
Meta: 200 words
Photomanip: 500px x 500px
Picset/gifset: 4 images
Podfic: 200 words
Rec list: 5 recs
Vid: 20 seconds
There is a list of tropes here:
1 Absence makes the heart grow fonder
2 Age regression/de-aging
3 Amnesia
4 Animal transformation
5 Aristocracy AU
6 Bar and club scenes
7 Bath time
8 Bed sharing
9 Beloved enemies
10 Bodyguard scenarios/AU
11 Bodyswap
12 Broken promises
13 Coming out of the closet
14 Competence
15 Confessions
16 Cuddling
17 Dancing AU
18 Dystopia
19 Epistolary
20 Fairy tale
21 Fake relationship
22 Fish out of water
23 Food porn
24 Genderswap
25 Handcuffed/bound together
26 Hurt/comfort
27 Huddle together for warmth
28 Loss of control
29 Magical AU
30 Meeting the parents/family
31 Mind reading
32 Mirrors
33 Penance or reform
34 Physical imperfections
35 Pillow talk
36 Pining
37 Pretend couple
38 Regency AU
39 Reincarnation
40 Rescue from danger
41 Role reversal
42 Spooning
43 Stubble
44 Telepathy/mindmeld
45 Time travel
46 Torture and/or interrogation
47 Unexpected gentleness
48 Unrequited love
49 Vulnerability
50 Wing fic
Any questions or comments, just let me know. And please – share this if you would! The more of us that take part, the more delicious fic there will be to read!
