I got my trope bingo scorecard! Some of these might end up being like the shortest thing ever, but successfully forcing myself to get words out is the important thing! I'm probably going to end up doing it for super random fandoms, i.e. things that don't actually HAVE fandoms, whoops.

META FICTION	FOOD AND COOKING	AU: FANTASY	ACCIDENTAL HERO	HUDDLE FOR WARMTH
HURT COMFORT	CROSS DRESSING/ COSTUMES	TELEPATHY/ MIND MELD	WING FIC	MARRIAGE
HAUNTED HOUSE	UNEXPECTED FRIENDSHIP	FREE SPACE	IN VINO VERITAS/ DRUNK FIC	AU: APOCALYPSE
REUNION	BETS/WAGERS	AU: SUPERNATURAL	POWER DYNAMICS	IN ANOTHER MANS SHOES
CURTAIN FIC	FIRST TIME/ LAST TIME	SHARING A BED	SECRET TWIN/ DOPPELGANGER	UNREQUITED LOVE/PINING

Yvonne and Unagi, if you want to sign up for a card yourself, you can comment here with which lists you'd like to pick from (main, au and kink) and also with whatever ones you want to opt out of and they'll give you a card!

I am unfamiliar with this! What does this commit you to?

I'd probably end up writing Dream Daddy fic because I am just driftwood in the fandom sea now. ;____;

It's a 0 pressure, 0 commitment kind of thing where, "If you make a bingo and post it during the round, congratulations, you've won at Trope Bingo!" It doesn't even have to be fic or even fannish writing - origfic or fanart goes, too. You just a. can't get another bingo card until you've posted and b. can't post anything that isn't a full bingo if it isn't the amnesty period. also it runs until December 1. o____O

soooo basically it's a thing that will give you prompts, and if you want more prompts and/or feedback then you'll have to post a bingo somewhere.

Oh this sounds fun! I prefer my pressure and my commitment to both be at zero.

YEAAHHHHHHH (((＠°▽°＠)八(＠°▽°＠))) !!



in the dark hours of early morning, I hazily wondered to myself if I should just write treats for yuletide rather than participate, what with me having failed the deadlines of it and fandom5k last year /o\

[shifty_gardener]

omg poor communication skills that is a GREAT square. deathfic and unhappy ending tho :( (I mean lbr unhappiness is way easier to write than happiness - for me, anyways - but stillll).

any thoughts on what you're going to start with? looking at all these prompts, I think the challenge is going to be not trying to combine all of them haha. the challenge of it just makes it more interesting! but I suppose too much plot is a big flaw of B and C movies, so restricting myself to one thing will be good practice :<<<

[sanau_du]

I might try out origfic with some of these? It's really hard to pick??? Also I think I ought to have been a bit more selective with what I wanted to rule out, because I like a many of them but they don't really fall into a nice bingo without running into something I'm not so sure about. (Like, I love reading aristocracy AUs but idk about writing them!)

[shifty_gardener]

it totally is hard to pick!!! one of them gave me a plot bunny that, if I did it full justice, would have to be like 10k+ :<<<

you can always try for really short but well-executed fic? like everything by longsufferingly/poor_choices: she'd somehow write like 500 words and it would feel like an entire world. here's a masterlist of her 2009 and before fic, for inspiration.

Thanks for the link!! I think I will end up trying to aim for short but well-crafted. And like, fall short but oh well.
