I've been participating in snowflake_challenge, where lots of folks want to see more activity on Dreamwidth. While researching community activities, I came across the idea of thematic meet and greet events. That seemed like something which might work here, given a membership of several hundred people and a new theme each month. So I made one for this month's theme. It gives people a place to meet folks with similar interests, and to squee about the current theme.

Here is the basic outline. Fill in as much or as little of it as you wish, depending on your interests as they relate to the Valentines Fest.

The Valentine's Day Bingo Fest will run from February 1-29. The theme is Valentine's Day and it spans both love and loss. To diversify options, I've done several things:

1) Prompts are divided into several groups. Romantic prompts feature positive relationships based on sweet affection, but don't have to involve sex. Erotic prompts are the carnal and kinky ones. Heartbroken prompts are about lost relationships and other things going wrong. Platonic prompts are for asexual, solo, or family inspiration. The Language of Flowers can play on the flower itself, its meaning, or both.

2) A 3x3 card is offered in each category, in hopes of making it easier to blackout. A 5x5 card mixes everything together for variety.

Feel free to mix and match the prompts, though, if you want a more diverse card. You can make a standard 5x5 or whatever you want. Creative interpretation is encouraged, and you don't have to stick to a category just because you're using its prompts. Sometimes it's fun to make ordinary things sexy or erotic things platonic.

3) Challenges! These are prompts that make the bingo card more exciting.

=Multiple Orgasms= combine scenes about 2+ adjacent prompts,
=All-Nighter= double the fill size of adjacent prompt,
=Cheater= write cheater and cheated from prompts on opposite sides of this square,
=Aces High= turn adjacent romantic prompt platonic,
=Mirror= write adjacent prompt as positive and negative in different characters

4) In addition to the standard bingo patterns of line, blackout, etc. there are others especially suited to this holiday: Arrow, Arrowhead, Bow Tie (two versions), Diamond (three versions), Heart (two versions), Winged Heart.
