FMI: Comma-Separated Category Lists Are Up

[zaniida]

They're under the Spreadsheets and Simple Lists folder, as text files.

I hope this is sufficient for anyone to make their own BINGO cards, if mine don't cover enough ground. There's a bit of overlap between the categories (it's about focus), but I tried to cut down on that. If you're using a random generator then you might get multiple prompts that are close to each other, though differentiated by nuance (e.g. different shades of loss: older than you, younger than you, peer group, or being comforted).

As I understand it, the easy-ish way is to stuff the lists into randomizers and then put the top five from each list into the board, thus preserving the categories. There should be plenty of variety for that much ^_^

thank you

thank you!

I'm guessing the answer's no, and if so that's not a problem (I just won't post it as a bingo), but can I rig a bingo card to use the things I already decided on for an FMNI story I haven't managed to write yet?

Why would you anticipate a "no"? I've done my best to keep this event versatile and open to variations.

Is there usually more of a focus on specifically the challenge part?

If you want both a self-rigged BINGO card and a challenge, I dare you to make the Turtle pattern. In any orientation you like, so you can rig the FMI categories you're least interested in as the turtle's head and feet ^_^ (When I set up the cards, I ended up with the order of categories mostly because of the colors that seemed to go best with them. The order seriously doesn't matter (either in the card or in the fic), so long as all five are represented.)
