Deja Vu Bingo

[ysabetwordsmith]

This is an advance announcement for the Deja Vu Bingo fest.  It will run from June 1-30, 2014.  

Other bingo fests focus on creating new things.  This one is about sharing things you have already created.  There are no content or length requirements.  It just has to be your original work, made prior to June 1.  This is a fun way to introduce new readers to some of your older projects.

You may play a card from any other bingo fest, make your own, or use the public card below.

FAQ List

Q: "Can it be a mix of previously posted and as-yet-unpublished (but already completed) work?"

A: Yes. The original idea was to promote older works that people might have missed, but if folks want to use this to get their stuff out of a drawer and into circulation, that's fine too. It just has to be created prior to June 1, 2014.


Q: "Could we use this card for reccing other people's work instead? Maybe 5 or 10 recs per square?"

A: Yes. Figure a minimum of 5 recommendations to fill a square. Any kind of fanwork is acceptable, so long as it matches the prompt and was created prior to June 1, 2014.

Sounds fun.

Not sure if you know but if you use the *textarea> Text in here shows in a the box */textarea>
Replace the * with < and what is in between shows in the text box. That is how i put the code on my moth's page.

Hmm...

[ysabetwordsmith]

Does that keep the text from lapping over or under the sidebars? Does it work with things that aren't pure text, like tables?

[lilly_c]

This looks like a lot of fun.

I'll go through my comm another day and see what there is, old works wise, that will fit for a line.

It is great for codes tables and bingo.
On this post under the card it says code for this card. It is how I got the card 's code to show so people could paste it into their own journal.

Hope that helps.

Yes...

[ysabetwordsmith]

It just has to be created prior to June 1. The original idea was to introduce folks to things of yours they might have missed earlier, but if people want to use this as an opportunity to post their dusty-drawer stuff, that's fine too. Or if you need a little wiggle room to make bingo.

Yay!

[ysabetwordsmith]

I look forward to seeing what you come up with.

Re: Hmm...

[ysabetwordsmith]

Thank you! I have added this to the
current post and to the instructions
for hosting an event.

Re: Hmm...

[vexed_wench]

Great it really does make using the public cards easier. :D

Yes...

[ysabetwordsmith]

Go for it. I have no problem with doing a rec project another month if somebody wants to run one. Meanwhile we can test the waters with this.

[hyperfocused]

As someone whose recent output has been greatly reduced (please god not forever), this is a very cool idea.

Thank you!

[ysabetwordsmith]

I've added it to the schedule for June.

[meridian_rose]

I missed this - I missed June almost completely due to computer issues and a few rl problems. It was a great idea and I hope you run another round later in the year/early next year.

Aww...

You can still use the card. This is a high-inspiration, low-pressure community. The fests are really just to give people a target.

In fact, we have several months left this year that don't have events scheduled for them. You could host a Deja Vu round yourself. December is open, and that would make an ideal time -- it's six months offset from the June round, and it's a time of year when people may be too busy to write new stuff.
