Well, call it a free space or a wild card, I don't care for it ;) I don't want to have to pick my own prompt, especially since there is very rarely a prompt I like more than others. If a prompt doesn't come externally, it is not really a prompt for me. (Much like deadlines. I have to find some way to externalize them or I won't hit them--but if they're external, I'm pretty good at hitting them.)
So far in my bingo card use, I think the only time I've used a wild card was for kink_bingo, and I'm not sure I posted it. I like the challenge of prompts. If they're not a challenge, I tend to look for something else. That's also why I've had my current origfic_bingo card for more than two years--the prompts don't grab me with a challenge. Actually, most of my bingo cards don't grab me with challenges, but once I'm finished with my current novel project, I'm planning on requesting prompts to go with bingo cards the way aldersprig has.
