Dark Fantasy Bingo 2017 – January 1-31

Welcome to 2017, friends and neighbors at [community profile] allbingo! I am the [personal profile] samuraiter, and it is my pleasure to bring you the All Bingo revival of [community profile] darkfantasybingo, a challenge that, unfortunately, only existed for one round before it stopped running. The entire prompt list has been very helpfully ported (à la [community profile] cottoncandy_bingo) into the Bingo Card Generator by [personal profile] magibrain, meaning that this rare bingo challenge can now be experienced by you again.

From the mission statement for the original community (as seen on the [community profile] darkfantasybingo profile page): "A prompt-based bingo challenge centered on Dark Fantasy. We are focused on the interaction between humanity and the fantastical. We want that anticipation - we want our breath caught - our imaginations going into overdrive. We're looking for the moment, the breath before the realization. We want the lure of the unknown, the peril of the shadows, and the chance of a lifetime.

Dark Fantasy definition - ordinary humans faced with fantastic, extraordinary situations in a darker atmosphere. Extra-terrestrial, extra-sensory, supernatural, transhuman situations are all welcome, but the situation must have a dark side to it. Don't get us wrong - happy endings are totally welcome. We love them! The story must go through the dark side though - dark side of nature, human nature, human desire...whatever. All genres, fandoms, pairings are welcome, as is original fiction."

Dates: January 1 – January 31
Rules: Here

And here is a public card to give you a good idea of what to expect from that prompt list. (And man, do I wish I had access to that super-cool background they used for the original cards! Ah, well.)

Mentor Dragons Crossroads Futuristic Witches
Western Telekinesis Regency Deals Hazing
Magic Skinwalkers FREE SPACE Family Abandoned
Psychic Fire Visionary Warlord Third Eye
Dawn Angels Pyrokinesis Spells Disappearance


And the code version of this card is in this box:

Spies, secret agents and noir

Hi all, I'm hosting this month's theme and it is spies, secret agents and noir. It runs from today right through to the 31st. The prompts on the public card can be changed for any from the list that you like more and the "Is that all you've got?" quote (yes, from Agent Carter) in the free space box is there to be used in anyway you want to or you can swap it for something else if it doesn't inspire you.

Create anything at all for this, do what inspires you the most and if you need some images to inspire you, the Daily Telegraph recently published this article on real secret locations where spies met. For fic the minimum word count is 100 words and no upper limit. There will be banners made for everyone who participates.

Have fun and I can't wait to see what you come up with :)
