allbingoThere is a general public card for this month, created with the bingo card generator, but the point of this month's theme is to do what YOU want. Any five prompts, in any location on the card, will work.
More importantly, for those who've been trying to fill an older card but didn't quite manage a bingo, you can also use prompts from DIFFERENT cards! Pick and choose what you want, and give yourself a breather. If you've almost got blackout on a card, or if you're staring at a card so random Fate was probably giggling at you, this is YOUR theme.
Instead of a written prompt fill, I'm creating banners as rewards for this month, and I hope to be sending them to LOTS of people, including myself. Here's a direct link to the Bingo Card Generator I love, so you can make a list that suits your needs. I'm using 'relaxation' words for the general card, rather than 'summer' ones, since our Southern Hemisphere members are in their heavy coats instead of tank tops.
In hopes of many, many announcements, here's a direct link to the Posting Template. I know I always need to look it up! Also, please be kind and use warnings for sensitive topics.
The word list, which you can edit then paste for your own card:
relax, a long bath, daydreaming, reminiscing, playing games, hobbies, chatting, catching up with friends, window shopping, keep in touch, dinner out, road trip, coffee break, outdoors, sunny day, rainy day, a long nap, do something new, read a good book, music, dancing, friendly wagers, team games, in the audience, familiar food, weekend retreat, a stolen hour, personal time, rejuvenation, reflection, hope, fun, companionship, familiarity, comfort, telling stories, wine or chocolate?
The center space is labeled “guilt-free.” ANYTHING goes for that one, of course!
Here is the public card:
And, late but not forgotten, here is the HTML for this card:
IMPORTANT EDIT: the banner is meant to be personalized, so expect me to PM and ask how you want it to appear. It will appear as a reply to your bingo post as soon as possible, so thanks for your patience!

Re: Please try it
Date: 2015-08-05 09:37 pm (UTC)Yeah? I just write when the mood hits me or I draw. Sometimes I do neither. XD I usually work with a word count & I generally do whatever they say is the minimum when writing for someone else, which can be anywhere from 500 to 1000 words. If I'm writing for a com, then I aim for the maximum word count allowed. :D
Okay, that works for me. :D Thanks! :D
