It's a New Year! Time for an Apocalypse!

Hi! I'm Lyn, and I'll be hosting your apocalypse this month!

I am a big fan of the end of the world and everything that comes afterwards. This may not be great for every fandom, but for those, may I suggest... AU? Stuck in a bunker AU? Back to back against the monsters AU!

A fill may be anything: words! Pictures! A song. Art! Meta about how this would happen! Have fun, go all out! Allbingo is for All The Things!

I am working on banners and icons, and those will be ready for the end of the month!

(This is my first time hosting, be gentle)

There are two public cards at the bottom of this post. In addition, may I suggest the End of the World list here and these two lists to generate your own cards?

(Much thanks to my friends on Mastodon and to TVTropes, which one can also mine for more ideas, for help with this list. If you have suggestions for either list, please let me know! I'd love to make the lists more robust).

(Those with * are straight from TVTropes - visit at your own risk)


Challenges!
These are something I'm just trying out: these apocalypse-themed challenges get in the way of your normal bingo, turning it into something wandering across the board, looking for a way home - just like in a real apocalypse!


Group Card with Challenges
Back to Back Rigged up car Genetic engineering AI ==Relics of the past== write a story backwards
Apocalypse In Space! Magic ==Captured!== have someone pick a random square and write it Rich People are Evil Warlord
Zombies Slept through the apocalypse* ==Green space== take a break Scavenged goods Mutants
Farming Utopia Days of Future Past* Starvation ==Monster!!== Write twice as much immortals
It’s Not Safe to Go Out … Or Is It? ==Road out== go around Cannibals Natural disaster Post-apocalyptic Dog*


code


Smaller Group Card, no Challenges
Ghost Town What Really Happened? Restricted access space colonies Drugs
Rich People are Evil Scavengers Too much water Magic
Empty fall-out shelter Repopulate the species Surprise cache of goods Class war
Decaying high-rises/inhabited Lotus eaters Starvation Rich People Save the World


Code


Okay, before this post gets too long, I'm going to stop. Have fun! If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to send them my way.

I look forward to seeing all of your apocalypses!

Go forth and END THE WORLDS!

The challenges are a cool idea - so for example in the sample card, if you had 4 vertical fills (rigged up car, magic, slept through the apocalypse, days of future past), what would you do with the ==road out == go around? Would you pick Cannibals or It's not safe to out squares Or is road out just another prompt? - love the idea, by the way :)

These are so brilliant! :D I may borrow the idea for some of my fests.

My card is here.

Is there a target word count?

(I may be going blind for looking.)

How fun. I think the challenges are fun but sadly don't mesh with what I have to work on this month so my card will be more boring.
