All Bingo

There are two points of news today:

1) allbingo is now affiliated with fanbingo.  I was delighted to discover that fanbingo is another high-inspiration, low-pressure community that allows you to make your own cards, post from any fest, and otherwise focus on flexibility.  If you like fanfic tropes then you can get a card from their prompt list too.

2) hc_bingo is now open for Round 5. Read the current rules and prompts, then request a card if you want one.  This fest is good for plotty prompts that come with their own tension.  H/C cards combine very well with other cards that designate a character or setting; see the Bingo Card Generator for things like Characterization Tropes, Ethnic Groups, or Setting Tropes.  Just print the two cards, overlay them, and match up the squares.  So if you have B1 "hypothermia" on the H/C card and B1 "chronic hero syndrome" on the other, those two go together in a single fill.

Based on a member request, there is a now a collection for Allbingo fills over on AO3. Anything you have used to fill a square in your bingo claims here on Allbingo, that will fit into AO3 posting parameters, is eligible for inclusion in that collection. Go add your stuff or watch for other people's pieces to appear!

If people want to have subcollections for specific monthly fests, that's also an option.

ladiesbingo has posted a Round 1 Coda due to schedule confusion.  If you thought the last day of posting was Jan. 19, you can call bingo in the coda to be tallied with any of your previous points for a separate scoring.  Deadline for the coda posts is midnight on Tuesday, Jan. 21.

Keep an eye on that community; later in the month there will be discussion posts as followup to Round 1 and planning for Round 2.

The bingo card generator by magibrain now has a "Donate" button at the bottom of the page. If you find the tool useful, please consider tipping the codewriter.  The generator is still free to use.
