Solo Celebration Bingo II – May 1-31

[samuraiter]

Good morning, friends and neighbors at allbingo! I am the samuraiter, and I am pleased to be hosting Solo Celebration Bingo II, a reprise of the 2014 original, hosted by vexed_wench. As she originally said, this bingo is here to celebate National Masturbation Month (or the Merry Month of Masturbation, as certain online communities call it), and that means "promoting the healthy enjoyment of one's body with erotic works". The public card is below. To generate it, I used a selection from the romance list, carefully tweaked to avoid some things that would probably be just about impossible to do by oneself.

Dates: May 1 – May 31
Rules: Here

This is the public card, though you are welcome to generate a card of your own, too.

Love letters	Failure to perform	Can't get no satisfaction	Morning-after regrets	Love at first sight
Masturbation	Celebratory sex	Such a gentleman	Valentines	Sex on the beach
Sex in the morning	Wet dream	FREE SPACE	Seclusion	Mile high club
Experimentation	Public places	Bondage & discipline	Nice guys come last	Sex in the shower / tub
Ladies first	Condoms are fun	Caught in the act	Not my best friend	Greedy / desperate

And the code version of this card is in this box.

Finish It Fest! (1 May - 30 June of 2016)

[dialecticdreamer]

May is a strange month in my life: traditionally this was the month my family did the grand 'spring cleaning,' and finished projects which had been put aside for whatever reason. The most memorable element of the 'finishing up' season was the handmade lap desk my Grandfather was trying to repair for my grandmother, when one leg had split along the grain, revealing the wooden pegs used to pin parts together instead of using nails. My grandfather was an auto mechanic, NOT a carpenter, in any way, and watching him try and try and try taught me far more than anything he said aloud. When he regretfully admitted that he was out of ideas, my grandmother had him remove the legs from the lap desk and used it as an organizing tray on her dressing table.

Over the last year, I have, like many writers, accumulated stories which range from 'nearly done' to an impossibly persistent idea scribbled on the corner of a napkin. This month, we're going to use the bingo card format as a motivator, an organizer, and a brag sheet. My tasks are to set up the format, and provide the cheering and flag-waving as stories are finished. Posting them is always the author's choice in my bingo fests, but as a potential reader, please picture me with Oliver Twist's pleading expression and a toddler's grabby-hands gesture when I say I'd love to read your stories, too.
