r/Fantasy's annual speculative fiction bingo challenge is up on Reddit.


It's a reading challenge, a reading party, a reading marathon, and YOU are welcome to join in on our nonsense!

r/Fantasy Book Bingo is a yearly reading challenge within our community. Its one-year mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new authors and books, to boldly go where few readers have gone before . . . (well, many actually because this is the TENTH year of our existence).

The core of this challenge is encouraging readers to step out of their comfort zones, discover amazing new reads, and motivate everyone to keep up on their reading throughout the year.

fadedwings posted this awesome "Domaystic" prompt list if anyone is into "slice of life" stuff. 

lee_bella has posted a terrific list of multifandom communities over on potterfests.  Some of these may overlap with your bingo activities here, while others offer different inspiration and opportunities.

Twitter faces a mass exodus.

For people on any other service, this is an opportunity to scoop new users. Listen to why people are leaving Twitter. Does your favorite service meet any of those needs? If so, encourage people to move there instead. Gathering more of your friends together will make any service more fun to use.

For example, many people are complaining about hate speech and poor privacy tools that don't let them block it. Dreamwidth offers private blogs, themed communities, and pretty robust moderation tools that let you delete comments you don't want on your blog or block people so they can't bother you. Want a hate-free online space? It's not that hard to make one. Want to make tweet-sized blog posts? Some people do that here, especially with certain formats like "3 Things Make a Post" in various blogs or "Just One Thing" on awesomeers. Looking for communities on your favorite topics? Check out followfriday for suggestions. You can also use the search box in your blog header for interests.

Some resources that you can share or reblog for new users to find:

I have not seen a DW guide for Twitter users, so if you know of one, please share the URL so I can link to it. Other guides are welcome too.

EDIT 11/30/22 -- I have continued editing the version of this post on my own blog.  There is also now a community for twitter_refugees.

catness made a visual bingo card for different activities, and included the simple Python script for it.  This seems like something that could be fun to do here.

 Check out fluffbingo for prompts about the lighter side of romance.  Fanfic and original characters welcome.  February 5 is the last day to sign up for this quarter though.

We are now taking prompts for the Torn World Muse Fusion Bingo.  (New to Torn World?  Start here!)  Prompters are encouraged to leave 5-10 prompts, which may be specific to Torn World or generic, whichever you prefer.  A selection of prompts will be randomly sorted onto a bingo card, to be played collectively by Torn World creators.  (Not a creator yet?  Join us!)  There will be individual (for prompters and for creators) and collective prizes depending on how much activity occurs.
