Valentines Bingo Fest

[ysabetwordsmith]

The Valentine's Day Bingo Fest will run from February 1-29. The theme is Valentine's Day and it spans both love and loss. To diversify options, I've done several things:

1) Prompts are divided into several groups. Romantic prompts feature positive relationships based on sweet affection, but don't have to involve sex. Erotic prompts are the carnal and kinky ones. Heartbroken prompts are about lost relationships and other things going wrong. Platonic prompts are for asexual, solo, or family inspiration. The Language of Flowers can play on the flower itself, its meaning, or both.

2) A 3x3 card is offered in each category, in hopes of making it easier to blackout. A 5x5 card mixes everything together for variety.

Feel free to mix and match the prompts, though, if you want a more diverse card. You can make a standard 5x5 or whatever you want. Creative interpretation is encouraged, and you don't have to stick to a category just because you're using its prompts. Sometimes it's fun to make ordinary things sexy or erotic things platonic.

3) Challenges! These are prompts that make the bingo card more exciting.

=Multiple Orgasms= combine scenes about 2+ adjacent prompts,
=All-Nighter= double the fill size of adjacent prompt,
=Cheater= write cheater and cheated from prompts on opposite sides of this square,
=Aces High= turn adjacent romantic prompt platonic,
=Mirror= write adjacent prompt as positive and negative in different characters

4) In addition to the standard bingo patterns of line, blackout, etc. there are others especially suited to this holiday: Arrow, Arrowhead, Bow Tie (two versions), Diamond (three versions), Heart (two versions), Winged Heart.

I made my own card...it's here.

Go you!

[ysabetwordsmith]

That sounds like fun.

[smallredboy]

Last year was an all-House/Wilson card, and my obsessions have changed so this year it's going to be an all-Hannibal/Will card! Here is my card.

Yay!

[ysabetwordsmith]

It's good to switch things around.

[siberian_skys]

Here's the card I made.

Victorian Era	Camellia (Pink)--Longing For You	Cooking With Love
Wedding Ring	WILD CARD	Kneeling
Sleeping With A Stuffed Animal	Play A Musical Instrument	Bath House/Sauna

[vexed_wench]

I made mine here.

Cool!

[ysabetwordsmith]

That should be inspiring.

Re: Cool!

[vexed_wench]

I hope so :)

[ofmonstrouswords]

I love the idea of the flower meanings prompt, so I made my own card of just those. Posted it here in my journal.

Yay!

[ysabetwordsmith]

I'm glad you like the flowers.

[cornerofmadness]

made my own here.

Go you!

[ysabetwordsmith]

I hope you have fun playing it.

Re: Go you!

[cornerofmadness]

thanks. I have ideas already

[thisbluespirit]

I made my own card using the Language of Flowers set here. I don't know how far I'll get but I can never resist language of flowers prompts!

Yay!

[ysabetwordsmith]

Flowers are awesome.

[preludian_staves]

Made a card using the cottoncandy bingo prompts. If I finish it, might make another using the language of flowers prompts.

[yntoila]

Here's my card! :D Tiny but doable, which is exactly what I need at the moment.

Hi! Sorry if this is answered somewhere else but I wasn't sure: is it possible to post just single fills here at this comm, or do we need to make a bingo to do so? Or at least have multiple fills?

I wrote a Valentine's Day fic that perfectly fits one of the prompts here and I'd love to share it somewhere but I'm going to be busy in the second half of the month so it's very unlikely I'll be able to create another unless I just make something kinda half-heartedly? Plus, it'd be nice to share it while it's still Valentine's Day in one timezone or another.

(NGL there were a couple of other comms I thought I'd be able to post it to but it turns out neither would accept it... IDK man, I just like being able to post stuff up on Dreamwidth!! But I don't want to come across like I'm shamelessly self promoting or something either so, uh, yeah;;;)

>>Hi! Sorry if this is answered somewhere else but I wasn't sure: is it possible to post just single fills here at this comm, or do we need to make a bingo to do so? Or at least have multiple fills? <<

You may post claims here for whatever you have written, in a manner that works for you. This community is not intended for posting whole works, although people do that occasionally and if you have just the one it's not going to clog the flow. Usually people post links to their own journal where complete works are posted. Just look at previous posts for examples of the format typically used. We're not fussy about details.

>> (NGL there were a couple of other comms I thought I'd be able to post it to but it turns out neither would accept it... <<

That is WHY this community exists. I kept having near-full cards I couldn't claim because there weren't 5 in a line all posted. So I made this, which is high-inspiration, low-stress, post whatever bingo stuff you have.

>> IDK man, I just like being able to post stuff up on Dreamwidth!! <<

Go you!

>> But I don't want to come across like I'm shamelessly self promoting or something either so, uh, yeah;;;) <<

I never understood why people are expected to feel shame for accomplishing things, instead of feeling pride. You made a thingie! Go you! \o/
