Words of Wood

I signed up to genprompt_bingo this year! I was intrigued by all their categories, and thought it would be nice to have a bingo card that pushed me out of my comfort zone a bit, after many years of fun with hc_bingo.

Here's my card!

Taxes	The way we were: Pre-canon	Information is given off the record	Pack	Mystery
Push and Pull	Daily Rituals (Morning Routines / Nightly Prayers / Meal Times)	Powerful	The Mind's Eye	Trapped!
Books are the Best Weapons	Trauma	Wild Card	Triads (Maiden / Mother / Crone, The Fates, Macbeth's Witches, etc.)	May Morning
Spells and Geases	Logic and Numbers	Thrills (Speed / Danger / Daring)	Something Useful	Half-life
Coercion	Rainstorm	Tombs, Graveyard and Memorials	Camouflage	Fire and Firelight

It's interesting! Lots of things I wouldn't have immediately thought of as using in a fic, which is rather the point. The bottom line is clearly the easiest for me to do, but who knows.

Any prompts you'd particularly like me to use for a specific fandom/character? Or do you have an idea for a square? Let me know - I always enjoy writing fic to requests where I can!

Got a new hc_bingo card! I didn't get one last year, which felt a bit weird and sad.

The squares all fit my new fandom... extremely well. Leave me prompts here. (My usual caveats: I'm uninterested in sex and non-canon-linked AUs.)

(To beat: the year I got a blackout on White Collar fics, but going well into the amnesty period.)

I've got a pretty nice card this year! Challenging without being off-putting. Now I just need to get my act together and write some fic :)

I signed up to trope_bingo but have managed to get the least inspiring card I've ever encountered :( Help me out by prompting me!

( Read more... )

Because a) I'm a masochist, b) I find writing challenges hard to resist and c) I crumble under peer pressure, I have signed up to love_bingo. Because when I'm spending all my spare time with plot bunnies eating my brain, what I obviously need is more of them! (I am doing so much writing at the moment! Actually finishing all the things I'm working on... not quite so much.)

( My card )

That is... not as impossible as I was expecting, actually. There are quite a lot of squares which are not too far outside my comfort zone.

(Favourite square: "Feelings". That seems very open to interpretation. Any feelings? Can I just use that for any fic in which a character displays emotions? *gg*)

Prompt me, yes?

*has urge to write grimly subversive fics for at least four squares*
