New Bingo Prompt Lists

[ysabetwordsmith]

magibrain has updated the Bingo Card Generator with three new lists of prompts that I submitted: Demifiction, People-Watching, and Problems That Can't Be Solved by Hitting. 

Demifiction is imaginary stuff written as if it were nonfiction.  This includes such things as reviews of books that don't exist, fake movie posters, heroes' shopping lists, etc.  It can be challenging to write but it makes a great way to stretch your creative skills, and a really fun way to explore your settings.

People-watching is just a bunch of traits, actions, and other features of folks within eyeshot.  You can use this to generate a random crowd of characters, to suggest people your protagonists might encounter, or other things in a story.  You can also print out a bingo card and sit down at a mall or a county fair and try to make bingo.  This trains your observational skills.

Problems That Can't Be Solved by Hitting will require both you and your characters to think things through instead of using violent action to cover up a lack of actual meaning.  Some of the prompts involve tense situations, while others are milder challenges.  Some of them also run in lower-traffic directions than the violent mainstream.  Many of them are good for gentle fiction (no sex, violence, or foul language) although you might have to edit a bit.  This list is brought to you Hollywood!Fail, by the $6 and 90 minutes I wasted on a really stupid movie, and by the letters F and U.
