Family Ties Bingo Fest

[ysabetwordsmith]

I will be running the Family Ties Bingo Fest from November 5-December 5. This theme focuses on families of birth and of choice, the connections between people that carry us through life. Fills may include some challenging elements, but ideally, more of them will be affectionate. Everyone is encouraged to play. All formats and fandoms are welcome, along with original work. There are no size requirements.

Many relevant prompt lists appear on the Bingo Card Generator, and the Gentle Fiction list is equally apt. For the 5x5 public card, I'm mixing some from Asexuality & Demisexuality, Birthdays, Childhood Experiences, Gentle Fiction, Group Dynamics Considerations, Emotions, People-watching, Negative Coping Techniques, Positive Coping Techniques, Problems That Can't Be Solved By Hitting, Sex & Romance, Types of Family, Little Actions For Self-Care, and Little Housekeeping Tasks. There are also 3x3 cards for Childhood Experiences, Coping Techniques, and Types of Family if you want something smaller. Feel free to pick any one or mix and match if you want to make your own. Some fun patterns you might like to try: Airplane, Butterfly (Bow Tie 2), Checkmark, Kite, Layer Cake, Picnic Table.
