Cottoncandy Bingo Fest

[ysabetwordsmith]

I will be running the Cottoncandy Bingo Fest from September 1-30. This theme focuses on things which are light, fluffy, and sweet. Fills may include some challenging elements, but ideally, the overall tone should be uplifting. Everyone is encouraged to play. All formats and fandoms are welcome, along with original work. There are no size requirements.

The primary list of prompts comes from the old Cottoncandy Bingo community, now available on the Bingo Card Generator, and the Gentle Fiction list is equally apt. You may also want to choose prompts from Robert Plutchik's 1980 List of Emotions, Childhood Experiences, Emotions, People-watching, Positive Coping Techniques, Problems That Can't Be Solved By Hitting, Types of Family, and/or Little Actions For Self-Care. Feel free to mix and match if you want to make your own. Some fun patterns you might like to try: Airplane, Kite, Top Hat, Turtle.


Here is a public card you can play:

Our song	Glass	Adoption	Talk with a Friend	Meteor shower / shooting stars
Day camp	Celebration	Grandparents / Grandchildren	Do Puzzles	Knows me better than I know myself
Sleep	Coloring with crayons	WILD CARD	Babysitting	First(s)
Cooking with Love	Travel	Pillow / Blanket fort	Vacation	Sleeping on someone
Carving/Drawing names/initials	Glow-in-the-dark	Comfort	Trust	Four-leaf clover

This is not a complete list, because I cut out out the darker prompts that are hard to write as fluff, but here's what I pasted in to make the public card:
