allbingoWelcome to Winter Fest in July. I will be you guest host for the month.
I love all things winter and Christmas. I realize that not everyone has fandoms or original universes that support that. I tried to come up with a few lists that could fit into almost any verse.
Feel free to use any prompt how they speak to you. I have them separated just to make the list a bit more manageable.
For example if you use a movie or music post feel free to just work off the tittle, or you can remix the movie it's up to you.
As usual there will banners at the end of the month. Also fill can be made of anything, fic, poetry, vid, pod fics, hand crafts. Art, icons, and wallpaper are nice as well.
This is a winter fest themed month so why not share some of your favorites and rec yours or someone else work.
Anything goes this month the only limit is your imagination.
There is a public card at the bottom of this post, or feel free to make you own here.
You can mix or match any of the prompts below or pick your own if like.
Holidays
Food
Music & Movies
Nature
Winter Characters
Traditions
Decorations
December Holidays
A months worth of special days.

Date: 2015-07-02 02:48 am (UTC)I decided to make my own card. Of course I put no real thought into it, just picked up a bunch of general winter prompts that I probably put in an order that won't give me a 'real'bingo.
As I asked Vexed above can you use a more general prompt like candle or tree for a non-winter scene?

Hope that helps.

Date: 2015-07-02 03:02 am (UTC)I do let hosts set the rules for their own fests. So far the pattern seems to be that a theme helps people focus, too general can be uninspiring, but too restrictive and not many folks will bingo. Thematic prompts that you can then do anything with is likely to pan out well.

That's okay.
Sometimes I get a bingo, other times not. I've gotten to where I just list my fills at the end of the month. Anything that makes for more writing is good!

It's up to Vexed how tight the rules are for the fest. I leave that up each fest's hosts. For the community as a whole, however, people can use prompts as loosely as they wish. I've had some fun quirking mine on occasion.

Date: 2015-07-02 03:19 am (UTC)Pretty much. If I get five of them done I consider it a bingo 'won.'
sounds good to me. I like to keep to the comms intent so I figured I'd ask.
