August's Bingo Fest is the Discworld Bingo, celebrating all things connected with Terry Pratchett's Discworld series. The Discworld is a flat, circular world, which sits on the back of four elephants who stand on the back of a star turtle. There's the City Guard, composed of men and dwarves and a werewolf and a troll and others; there are the witches who understand people a lot better than they do themselves; the wizards of the Unseen University and Death who rides on his horse Binky and likes kittens and curry. For more information you can find details of all the books here.

You are welcome to use whichever medium you like for completing a bingo. The fest will run from 1 August to 31 August.

The list of prompts is below, together with a sample card, but you are very welcome to make your own card as well.

And if you post to AO3, then do feel free to add to the allbingo collection.

Welcome to the Reel Time Bingo Fest!

Aug 1st - Aug 31st

brokenhighways , am your neighbourhood friendly host this month! This fest is inspired by my love of all things movies!

The idea here is pretty simple. Using the prompts, you can write/create anything - e.g. if your card contains ‘The Notebook’ you can write a story about a notebook or your own version of the movie. None of the prompts need to be taken literally. For the prompts, I mostly stuck to genres, tropes, top movie quotes and top movie titles and songs including some of my own favourites. I will post the full list so you can make your own cards. I don’t have separate themed lists because...something went wrong (and also I am not an organised person and I apologize). :P

In order to achieve bingo, the usual rules apply. For some other examples, I’ll refer you to the

cottoncandy_bingo patterns here. There are more bingo types here, and if you’re feeling adventurous you can aim for my new fave type of bingo - the bow tie bingo! If the bingo pattern exists - it can be used for this challenge. The world is your box-shaped oyster.

Most importantly, have fun!

The card generator can be found HERE.

Example cards:

Enter The Dragon	The Breakfast Club
The Notebook	Hopelessly devoted to you

Cartoon	Footlose	War
Whodunit	FREE SPACE	Happy ending
Offscreen	Supernatural	I've got a feeling we're not in kansas anymore.

Buddy cop	Don't let's ask for the moon. We have the stars.	Geek to chic	Real women have curves	I am big! It's the pictures that got small.
Moonlight	Buddy movie	Swords	Trophy wife	Technicolor
Houston we have a problem	Circle of life	FREE SPACE	There's no crying in baseball!	Fantasy
I love the smell of napalm in the morning.	Novel adaptation	Shot	Speed	You had me at "Hello."
Chick flick	Director’s cut	Dazed And Confused	Die Hard	Fasten your seatbelts. It's going to be a bumpy night.

So it looks like a couple people went to town on the August Intimacy prompts: ysabetwordsmith made two BINGOs plus four other fills, and curiosity managed a full blackout (in connection with a blackout for the other event running concurrently, which... wowzers!). Congratulations, you two!

Over on AO3( Read more... )

Lastly, for anyone who was interested in August Intimacy but didn't have the time/energy during August, well, seems like it'd mesh well with September's Platonic Love Fest! I love it when other events focus on the various forms of intimacy that aren't tied to sex or romance.

I scored a double black-out. One for my Hot Summer Writes Card and one on my August Intimacy Card.

There are ~~two~~three chap fics and some stand alone stories. Everything was written in the Mo Dao Zu Shi (Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation in English) fandom this time around. Meant to switch it up but the muse was hot.

Wow that was a lot.

ETA: Linked post has been updated with what prompts went to which stories.

It's a four chapter Spooks fic, one chapter per square: A Weekend in the Country with Ambrose on AO3

Just wanted to make sure people saw these, because they're a bit buried in the comments on my initial post, but Fuzzyred has taken the time to move all my prompt boards into easy lists:

More Specific Prompts

Drama and Dark Inversions

Last year, I got encouraged to host my first writing event, August Intimacy, which led to 33 works between the main collection and the stragglers.

Focus: Nonsexual Intimacy

The whole point of the event is to remind authors that intimacy doesn't equal or even imply sexuality -- that characters (and people) can be intimate without wanting to get in each other's pants. That's why I created the fic form (Five Moments of (Nonsexual) Intimacy) and hope to see it find widespread use across fandoms (similar to the "Five Things" fic form it draws from).

Anything that focuses on nonsexual intimacy and is posted during August or September of this year is eligible for the AO3 collections (that I should make near the end of the month). I encourage the use of the Fic Form, but it's not necessary.

This year's theme is Time -- more details on that in a minute.( Read more... )

So that's the prompt. And, of course, if you found a way to mesh it with Hot Summer Writes, all the better! Off the top of my head: An intimacy that develops over several summer vacations to the same spot, e.g. meeting the same tour guide or vendor each year, or getting a minor injury each vacation and getting treated by the same doc/EMT/person with first aid training. Or, inverse: Every year, most of the group heads out for vacation or camp or whatever, leaving behind two characters who don't usually get to interact much, but get to enjoy the relative solitude each year and spend time together that they wouldn't otherwise spend.

Cheers!

September Stragglers is the sub-collection for August Intimacy projects posted to AO3 after the initial collection was closed (which I did a couple hours after midnight Pacific Time, so very early September 1st). In case people didn't make the deadline but still want to be part of the collection.

I still have next to no idea what I'm doing, but I hope the collection is useful. I'm hoping to add some more pieces in random fandoms (as well as update my BINGO piece, Turtles in a Bottle (Clint Barton and Bucky Barnes stuck in a HYDRA base for a while)) before Creepyfest hits, but it's already a week into the month and I'm still feeling that slumpy feeling of "okay the event is over time to decompress" and I'm hoping that'll go away soon because I've got major Creepyfest fics to write!

(Yes, brain, this is the perfect time to get hyperfocused on the mathematical patterns in Frost Giant physiology, why thank you, that's so useful for our current project load.)

(Dozens of spreadsheets later...)

It's 2 a.m. and I just closed the AO3 collection: Twenty-two works across 17 fandoms.

I've been persuaded to create a sub-collection for stragglers sometime during September, so if you happen to put together your content during September, there should be another collection to add it to. But I need a bit of time to catch my breath here, so I'm not gonna worry about that for a few days.

Besides me, six authors made it into the collection, writing a total of ten fics. AQuietThinker managed three; Cornerofmadness and Ysabetwordsmith posted two apiece; idrilhadhafang, Siberianskys, and Signamino posted one apiece.

Which means that I managed 12 fics, though four (and my podfic) are works in progress, including my main BINGO entry. I hope to update them sometime during September, though this is the point at which I switch gears and start working on my Creepyfest entries (October content). Plus, I need a bit of a break before anything else, and I've got a shiny new copy of modable Skyrim that I might or might not get into this month. (Kindly vaguely hoping not, 'cuz there goes my productivity, but OTOH... Skyrim. With lightweight potions and a way to bypass the poorly thought-out opening sequence. I do want to enjoy that before the end of the year....)

I have made bingo across Row 1 of my 8-1-20 card for the Five Moments of Intimacy Bingo fest.

B1 (physical) "phasing through solid objects"
I1 (secret) "gender issues"
N1 (experiential) "take a class together"
G1 (vulnerability) "two-way teasing, both enjoy it"
O1 (emotional) "confession and forgiveness"

All of the above appear as scenes in "The Best Understanding of Their Differences" (Polychrome Heroics: Calliope) currently in microfunding. The first two scenes have been posted, the third is in progress.

Written but not posted yet are single-prompts fills:

I5 (hopes/dreams) "When I Was Born an Orange" (Polychrome Heroics: Shiv)
N5 (lasting scars from old traumas) "To Give Suffering a Location" (Polychrome Heroics: Shiv)
G5 (worries or anxieties) "No Quarrel with a Boot" (LIFC)

Also this month I posted a poem from a previous FMI card:

Five Moments of Intimacy
Physical: Clothing/grooming
Secret Sharing: Abuse, trauma, or trigger
Experiential: Protect the vulnerable
Emotional: Shared fear or anxieties
Vulnerability: Reveal artistic endeavor

"A Choice We Make" is complete. (Polychrome Heroics: Shiv)

I have made bingo across Row 1 of my 8-1-20 card for the Five Moments of Intimacy fest.

This inspired the free-verse poem "The Best Understanding of Their Differences." Calliope and Vagary work their way through intimacies, some awkward and others enjoyable.
461 lines, reserved for prompter

I haven't posted it yet, as the prompter is still mulling over how to budget it.
