November Monthly Post

[ysabetwordsmith]

This is the November community post for allbingo. What were your bingo activities during October? What are your plans for November?

For October we had:
Fall / Halloween / Samhain Fest hosted by vexed_wench and spiralicious
This fest covers all the autumn holidays.
Posting will be October 1-31.

For November we will have:
People-Watching Fest by yntoila
These prompts will focus on different traits and types of people.
Posting will be November 1-30.


We do not yet have any fests scheduled for 2020. I usually cover Valentines in February. Does someone else want to take January?

I'd like to provisionally take January. The only reason why I'm saying "provisionally" is the fact that right now I don't have a theme in mind. So, if someone else shows up offering to host a January fest with an already well-defined theme, feel free to take their offer. Otherwise, I'll be coming back in a few days to confirm my January claim and let you know about the fest's theme. :)

Okay ...

I have penciled you in.

Meanwhile, I suggest browsing the lists in the Bingo Card Maker for inspiration. You could also host a fest on any topic you think doesn't get written enough, or well enough.

I have an idea, but I want to check with you to see if it's something acceptable for the comm. I'd like to run a Less Usual Bingo Patterns Fest, which would welcome all bingo patterns *except* for single lines and blackouts. Would that be okay? If you don't approve this idea, no problem, I'll come up with something else. :)

*laugh* Sure, why not? The resources have links to all kinds of unusual patterns.

In fact, the idea was partially inspired by the resources, and I'll make sure to promote them when the time comes. So, that's it: I'll be hosting the Less Usual Bingo Patterns Fest in January 2019. Thank you for letting me do this! <3
