Yes, but it was fun. First time I've done a 5x5 blackout. I tried to give myself a one prompt per day goal and didn't stress about getting to a particular word count.
I wasn't sure if I was allowed to add tags or how that side of it works do there were a few fandoms left out.
Going to try the February challenge but might not start until halfamoon is done.

Extra congratulations!

I think anyone can add tags, but can't swear to it and I'm busy right now. Give that a try. The format is Fandom: (title) so just look at the others for examples. If you can't add tags, ping me at the end of the week and we'll fix it.

>> I may have added OZ inadvertently that way when I first was tagging.<<
Yes, there is a Fandom: Oz tag. \o/
Hmm, Oz would make a great theme for a fest, so many wonderful possibilities. Flying monkeys! Friends of Dorothy! Come out come out wherever you are! Lethal water buckets! We're not in Kansas anymore!
... I'm having way too much fun with this already.

LOL. I tagged (and wrote) for the old HBO prison drama, so squares would be closer to random shankings, drug smuggling, tattoos, naked men, and a variety of NSFW words. "We're not in Kansas anymore" probably would work though.
1) Please try to find some way to modify that tag to specify the show, like Fandom: Oz HBO, Fandom: Oz prison drama, or Fandom: Oz year it premiered. Otherwise a majority of people will probably parse it as Fandom: Oz L Frank Baum. Since it's your fandom I'll let you pick whatever extra description you think other fans of that show will best recognize.
2) Your list of sample squares sounds interesting. There are various other prison dramas, movies, books, etc. and many of the same prompts would apply widely. So that would make a good fest if you ever feel like running one.
