Sumerian Me Bingo Fest

Welcome to the Sumerian Me Bingo Fest about leadership and society. The me (pronouned "may") are powers, offices, skills, objects, and other things that are considered foundations of civilization in Sumerian culture. Various lists and translations exist, so I have compiled some from different sources.

What an awesome theme for a fest! I can't decide between adopting the general public card or making one of my own, but I'll definitely come back here as soon as I make up my mind.

[luvbarryfefe]

I love this! I am definitely participating with a random card. TY for hosting!

I can't resist the sex and romance mini card! I hope to blackout with short ficlets... but who knows?

[cornerofmadness]

this is a fun idea. I made my own card here

[spiralicious]

This is a really cool concept

Bingo

I have just made bingo on the second line of my Sumerian ME card. Instead of posting them in the order of the prompts, from left to right, I’m putting them in the chronological order of the stories’ internal timelines. Yes, there are plans to post all of the currently pending stories in the next week. That delay is another reason why I usually try to blackout the card.

Things to read:

The kindling of fire = Starting Into Motion

The bitter-toothed lion = Saying Goodbye (link to part one)

Truth = Knowledge is Truth (not yet posted)

Guslim = Sunday in the Park (not yet posted)

The binding of the hair (not yet posted)
