How long have you been into creative bingo? I've been in this community since it started in 2014, but I was playing bingo long before then. Maybe 2008 or so?

Do you participate in any other bingo communities or fests, and if so, which ones? Many of my old favorites are now defunct, like the old Cottoncandy Bingo. I think [community profile] trope_bingo and a few others are still going, though.

What size cards do you like playing? I usually play 5x5. If I want to do several subtopics, sometimes I split them into 3x3 cards.

Do you usually use a public card or make your own? I usually make my own.

How often do you make blackout? In 2022, I made 5 blackouts: Valentines Bingo 2/1/22, National Crafting Month 3/1/22, Body Parts 7/1/22, Reel Time 8/1/22, Land of Oz 9/1/22.

What kind of fills do you make? Most of mine are poems. Occasionally I write fanfic or other fiction. I just posted "The Tie-Dye Tiger" which is a story from a 2021 card. I had fun with the March 2022 crafting theme, where I posted pictures of some of my crafts.

What are some of your favorite fandoms or original settings that you fill with? My most common fandom is The Avengers with Love Is For Children. Original work is usually poetry, which you can find much of on my Serial Poetry page. My biggest series is Polychrome Heroics, which is superhero fantasy.

What things do you enjoy seeing from other people's fills? I like fiction, but it's fun to see non-writing fills like photos or crafts.

What have been some favorite themes? Untranslateable words and crafts.

Can you think of themes you'd love to see that haven't been done yet? I'm toying with making a fest for The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows. All new words!


What is your blog like? It's a cross between office and living room.

How busy is it? I post daily. It's most active during the Poetry Fishbowl on the first Tuesday of each month; next up is January 3 with a theme of "short forms."

What topics do you post about most often?
reading
writing
cyberfunded creativity
poetry
networking
fantasy
news
weblit
science fiction
personal
nature

What kinds of friends are you looking for? I'm up for creative people in general, readers and writers, fans, etc.
