March Is... Bingo Fest

[nsfwords]

Welcome to the March Is... Bingo Fest! This is my third time guest hosting a bingo, and I hope we all have fun!

Read more and see the Public Cards below the cut.

1) I've made three public cards for anyone to use, or feel free to make your own with the Bingo Card Generator. You can mix or match either prompt list below or make your own - I'd love for people to add more items to my initial lists for this fest! Feel free to use the prompts in any way you want to create fills made of ANYTHING; fic, poetry, vid, podfics, recs, or handcrafts. Art, icons, and wallpapers. Fiber crafts, music, or animatics. And all the other mediums not listed are cool too. The only limit is your imagination.
