Anniversary Mini Bingo!
Sep. 2nd, 2020 07:19 amOne year ago today, Loose Lips Sink Ships HBO War Fandom prompt meme launched. In the past 366 days, folks have posted 1008 prompts (704 of which survived the Great Cull), and 19 authors have written 107 stories, totalling 503,204 words (mean: 4702.84 words, median: 3158 words). But that's enough stats, let's get onto the party!

Welcome to Loose Lips Sink Ships' First Anniversary Mini Bingo challenge! In this challenge, you may request a mini bingo card (just 3 by 3 squares), and we will randomly generate a unique card based on your character, pairing or fandom requests. Use this card to win extra points in our Field Maneuvers game, or just for inspiration about what prompts to fill next.
This challenge will run until the newsletter is posted on 6 October 2020, five weeks from now.
How It Works:
You may request a mini bingo in comments on Dreamwidth, or via tumblr ask.
To request a card, list one of the following selections:
1. One to five characters of your choice from any fandom.
or
2. One to five pairings of your choice from any fandom.
or
3. One to three fandoms of your choice.
or
4. ANYTHING! (all the prompts!)
Your mod team will then pull all the prompts including your requested character/pairing/fandom, get Colonel Kink to randomly select nine of them, and generate your card.
If there are not enough prompts for your requested character or pairing, the mods will ask for additional selections.
Bingo cards will be issued to individual participants only; team sign ups will not be accepted.
You may not veto prompts or ask for squares to be swapped out. You may receive prompts containing mature themes.
We will only issue one card per participant, but if you complete a line bingo (three squares in a row in any direction), you may ask for a new card.
Scoring:
Every prompt you fill will be worth two points.
Each line of three squares in a row (diagonal, horizontal or vertical) will be worth an extra point.
A blackout of all nine squares is worth twenty-five points total.
You may score bingos for multiple lines off of the same card, but each fill must be unique, not reused from a previous line.
