January Community Post

[ysabetwordsmith]

This is the allbingo community post for January, 2014.  What were your bingo activities during the past month?  What are your plans for February?

It's been an exciting first month here.  We currently have four affiliated communities, crosslinked with cottoncandy_bingo, genprompt_bingo, ladiesbingo, and origfic_bingo.  According to our profile, we have 66 interests and 35 subscribers.  Several folks have already posted introductions; more would be welcome.  Somewhat more people have gotten bingo cards.  Yay, progress!

Remember that cottoncandy_bingo is scheduled to reopen on February 1.  Stand by to get your cards!

Also, allbingo is hosting a Bingo Valentines fest from February 1-21.  Play with a card from any suitable community or make your own.  Would you like to team up with someone else?  Post a comment asking for interested partners.  Fests like this are especially fun when folks link up art/writing/other goodies featuring the same characters.

>> I didn't get much writing done for January due to an extra-heavy workload. <<

Bummer.

>> I have half-finished stories for Trope Bingo and Ladies' Bingo, so I'd like to finish those up. <<

Good luck!

>> I signed up for Cotton Candy Bingo and think the Bingo Valentines fest sounds fun, but there are so many other fests and exchanges going on now--Porn Battle, Femslash February, and so on--that I'm not sure how much I'll actually get done! <<

You can mix and match! All of those sound like they'll blend well with Bingo Valentines.

>> It's too bad we can't generate a special 3x3 card for Bingo Valentines instead of a full card! <<

You can. The "Get a Bingo Card" post has some links to images for grids other than 5x5 although finding a generator for that is harder. It would probably be easiest to take a standard 5x5 card and just choose a 3x3 section of it to play.

The Get a Bingo Card post has some great resources. Thanks for linking it.

Since I know how to make an html table, I used a generator to create a list of numbers and then matched them to Cotton Candy Bingo's prompt list. The result is on my journal here.

If anyone is interested, I'd be happy to make more of these, using whatever prompt list the person desires.

Awesome!

Thanks everso. I can add a link to this so more folks can see it. Would you like it on the cottoncandy_bingo post or the "Get a Card" post?

It might work better on the "Get a Card" post, since I can use any prompt list, not just the cottoncandy_bingo one. Whatever you think is best. :)
