Reminder about the Solo Love Bingo for the month of May

[vexed_wench]

Hello,
I just wanted to check in with everyone. I hope everyone is enjoying the Solo Love Bingo here at
allbingo. It will run during Month of May. I hope everyone is having fun filling their prompts.

The original post with a public card and the rules can be found here. As always you can use this card or any other one you already have or make one here.

Just a quick reminder that as much as we all enjoy fics you can also fill your bingo squares with other mediums. All fandoms and original fiction are welcome.

Happy Bingo Making :D

Well...

I printed out the card but haven't gotten one fill on it yet. Part of that is time crunch, part is that is hasn't matched my prompt call themes. 0_o But I haven't given up hope.

You can do it.

I am slow as well. I have a killer to do list this month. Trope & cotton cansy bingo as well as here. Also the SGA reverse bang.(10K words min)

We will all get it done. *\o/*

The code is on the card post so you can embed the card easier.
Hope that helps.

Hey, I have a question. Is there an "allbingo" collection to post to at AO3? I looked but couldn't find one. If not, it would be really cool to have one and be able to browse through what this community's members have created.

Well...

[ysabetwordsmith]

I just tried to create one. Sadly, it refused to save. :( Feel free to try creating one yourself; maybe it will work for you because technology hates me.

Re: Well...

[carriemac]

It won't let me either. :( Must be some kind of AO3 glitch.

Re: Well...

[ysabetwordsmith]

Whatever it was, it's fixed! I tried to recreate the error for a report, and the collection saved this time. Go add your stuff if you've got fills that you want to post.

That is great!

Awesome! Thanks.

I'm so close to making a bingo out of the top row but I'm also combining it with two of my kink bingo cards for the amnesty round so each fic needs to be 500 words minimum and all of them are falling short. I'm making a series out of the top row, so each fic is connected. The first four are definitely solo and the last line of the fifth part will be one character asking the other out. Got any suggestions for a relationship arc? Prompt, trope?

Yay!

Go you!

I wanted to play this fest, printed out the card, liked the prompts ... and haven't done squat with it. :( I'm glad that someone is playing it!

>> but I'm also combining it with two of my kink bingo cards for the amnesty round so each fic needs to be 500 words minimum and all of them are falling short. <<

Yeah, I have that problem a lot, especially in fests that have the same length requirement for fiction and poetry. Sure I write epic poems, but I'd like to be able to make fills with more typical sizes of poetry.

>> I'm making a series out of the top row, so each fic is connected. The first four are definitely solo and the last line of the fifth part will be one character asking the other out. <<

That is a nifty idea.

>> Got any suggestions for a relationship arc? Prompt, trope? <<

* Figuring out relationship parameters when one or both characters has a nonstandard gender identity or sexual orientation.

* A relationship developing between two asexual folks, who enjoy masturbating, aren't interested in sex with another person, but are interested in romance.

* That stage where you both really like each other but don't know each other well yet and are trying to figure out if your lifestyles and long-range plans are compatible.

Re: Yay!

[elizabeth_rice]

Yeah, the word thing is a real challenge sometimes, which is probably the point I guess. Right now my biggest concern is not meeting the deadline. I know I can post my fills afterwards too but I really want to try and post them during the active period.

Thanks for the ideas, they're great and I hope I can get one to fit.

[vexed_wench]

YAY!

That sounds great. I am slow filing my own squares.

I am not sure what your other card looks like.

If off the top row of this one fantasies could be all kinds of fun and useful to use and think about their new relationship. Maybe get off while thinking about their kinkier fantasies?

To be honest this is not my genre at all. I am stretching my limits.

Good luck and you can do it!

Ooo ...

[ysabetwordsmith]

Allow me to second the vote for fantasies. I have seen several series on that theme, some of them for Kink Bingo, in which partners went through a list and tried different things together. It can be a lot of fun.

[elizabeth_rice]

Thank you! I just hope I make it in time. And yes, I'm using fantasies in the way you've suggested. :)

This is an update on my situation, there was a small fire in my house. I'm okay, and the thing that caught on fire is the only thing that got damaged as far as property and stuff is concerned. But I'm not going to be able to make the deadline. I feel sad about the whole situation.

[vexed_wench]

As long as you and yours are okay that is all that matters.

*hugs*

[ysabetwordsmith]

I am glad you're okay! Fires suck.

You're ahead of me, though, I haven't written anything for this fest. Yeah, that's disappointing.

Feel free to post whatever fills you did make, even if they don't add up to a bingo. People can still enjoy reading them. That's the cool thing about being a low-pressure, high-inspiration community.

Re: *hugs*

[elizabeth_rice]

Thanks! It was pretty scary before we put it out. For a second, I really thought we wouldn't be able to put it out but then it finally went out. And luckily with minimal damage.

And thanks, I will post them when they're ready.

Well, I'm slowly catching up to the stuff I've missed recently and I noticed all the activity here including your bingos so I don't think it's disappointing. And the same thing goes for you, you can always make a fill(s) even if it doesn't add up to a bingo. :)
