Cottoncandy Bingo Fest

[ysabetwordsmith]

I will be running the Cottoncandy Bingo Fest from August 1-31. This theme focuses on things which are light, fluffy, and sweet. Fills may include some challenging elements, but ideally, the overall tone should be uplifting. Everyone is encouraged to play. All formats and fandoms are welcome, along with original work. There are no size requirements.

The primary list of prompts comes from the old Cottoncandy Bingo community, now available on the Bingo Card Generator, and the Gentle Fiction list is equally apt. You may also want to choose prompts from Robert Plutchik's 1980 List of Emotions, Childhood Experiences, Emotions, People-watching, Positive Coping Techniques, Problems That Can't Be Solved By Hitting, Types of Family, and/or Little Actions For Self-Care. Feel free to mix and match if you want to make your own. Some fun patterns you might like to try: Airplane, Kite, Top Hat, Turtle.


Here is a public card you can play:

Glow-in-the-dark	Clouds	Opposites	Forest / Woods	Making a flower crown
Fishing	Friends / Friendship	Taffy Apples at the Fair	Teamfamily	Sandcastles
Daytime	Apology / Forgiveness	WILD CARD	Four-leaf clover	Camp
Body language	Searching for the Perfect Gift	Beautiful	Hands	Must Be This Tall To...

Does the FREE square mean that's a free square as in any prompt you'd like to use for it or does it mean free like the word free as you'd define it?

Well...

If it's your card, you can define it as you wish.

For my purposes, I typically go with:
* Wild Card means you can use any prompt you wish
* Free Space or an abstract design means you don't have to make anything for that, but it still counts
* Free by itself can be interpretated as either of the above or as "freedom" in a prompt

Oooo I like the #2 option and probably will go with that one.

Thanks!

Yeah, if you look on the Bingo Card Generator you can see the middle square is editable with several options. You can actually put anything you want in there, if it's text. So far there's no provision for images like some of the other fests put in theirs. If you look around, you'll see some that have a star in the center, or whatnot.
