Valentines Bingo Fest

[ysabetwordsmith]

The Valentine's Day Bingo Fest will run from February 1-28. 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. Romance Book Titles can play on the book itself, its textual meaning, or both.

Also on the Bingo Card Generator:
Love Songs
Romantic Vocabulary "You are ..."
The Language of Flowers

Other relevant lists:
Asexuality & Demisexuality
Kinks
Sex & Romance


2) A 3x3 card is offered in each current 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. You can add them to any category, or skip them, as you choose.

=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), and this set of Valentine shapes.

kadotoriku  has created 10 banners for the Challenges and for various bingo patterns.

I made a 3x3 bingo card from the Romantic List.

Go you!

[ysabetwordsmith]

That sounds cool.

I made a 5x5 with the Language of Flowers from last year, and another with Romance Book Titles from this year. There were just so many prompts I wanted to try. :D

Re: Go you!

[siberian_skys]

I'm using my card to write a sequel to that Clint/Phil story you liked. I'm hoping I have time to make another card and use it for another fandom. I always love the Valentines Fest. It's fun.

I'll be curious to see what you do.

:D 3q3q3q!!!

Well, Tuesday is the Poetry Fishbowl with a theme of "Cultural Differences." Drop by my blog then and prompt me for something.

Re: Go you!

[siberian_skys]

I have yet to do this. I need to do that when it's live so I can see how it works. I came late to the party.

Re: Go you!

[ysabetwordsmith]

The Poetry Fishbowl typically starts somewhere around noon to 1PM and ends in the wee hours.

Visit the landing page for a general description.

See the advance announcement for details on this month's theme.

Check out the January fishbowl for a glimpse of past examples.

If there is a new prompter or donor, you get a second freebie!

Re: Go you!

[siberian_skys]

Thank you. I'll do that.

[kadotoriku]

I still have other bingo cards that I'd like to finish before I take on another one, but may I offer some achievement badges that I made for this fest? I personally find them fun to make and motivating for writing. :D

Yes, please!

Okay ...

Yes, please! Badges are awesome.

Re: Yes, please!

[kadotoriku]

They're in an Imgur album over here. I made ten! Can still edit if needed. :)

Re: Yes, please!

[ysabetwordsmith]

Thank you! I have added a link to your Imgur album.

[nsfwords]

I made a 5x5 mixed romance, heartbreak, platonic, & book titles.

Yay!

[ysabetwordsmith]

That's exciting.

[lilly_c]

I made a 2x2 card from the romantic and platonic lists.

Yay!

[ysabetwordsmith]

Go for it. That should be fun.

[icedark_elf]

Made myself a 3x3 card. This should be fun.

Go for it!

[ysabetwordsmith]

I wish you luck with your card.

[alexcat]

I think I'm going to try your readymade mixed card and do drabbles and flashfics for it.

Yay!

[ysabetwordsmith]

That sounds like a great plan.

We have a Diamonds & Dynamite achievement for small fills.

[gershom_onyx]

I'm still picking at my Fresh Starts card, but I went ahead and made a card from the Romantic list, located here. Thank you for hosting!

You're welcome!

[ysabetwordsmith]

Have fun with the new card.

There is no requirement here to finish an old card before getting a new one.

I got 1 column bingo and a total of 14 fills on Fresh Starts; I have made a Language of Flowers and a Romance Book Titles card for this month.

[ofmonstrouswords]

I made a 3x3 from Romance Book Titles. No idea if I'll ever complete it, but it's nice to have something poking at my brainmeats to create. XD

Go for it!

[ysabetwordsmith]

This is a high-inspiration, low-pressure community. Anything you create with that card will be something new you wouldn't have done without it.

I'm a little late posting

[fuzzyred]

I made myself a card using this year's Erotic and Platonic lists, and the Asexuality & Demisexuality list from a previous year.

[falkner]

I feel a little stupid for asking, but why is the entry tagged "theme: ainti valentine" instead of "anti"?

Well ...

[ysabetwordsmith]

Because the first person who entered the tag spelled it wrong, and I was afraid that if I tried to fix it, that would break connection with all the other posts using it. Had I entered the tag myself it would've said "Valentines."

Re: Well ...

[falkner]

If you go to the tag edit page you can rename and even merge tags :)

Re: Well ...

[ysabetwordsmith]

Thank you! I have changed it to Valentines.
