Hi! I love this challenge, excited by my prompts, and am completely impressed by your work into this! I'm just trying to clarify, though, cuz I'm a bit confused by your examples.

1) 9 squares (3x3). Each square is 5 points, for a total of 45 points + 5 for completing the card. Partial points are available if you don't want to do a blackout, but do they have to be a completed line of 3? Under points you list each square is worth 5 points, giving the impression we don't need to complete lines.

2) Does the bingo have to be an identical fill? Like say, does it have to be drabble-drabble-drabble, or can it be drabble-icon-picspam?

3) Are the points worth the same as other challenges? You've multiplied your examples by four, making it seem that 4 icons=5 points, etc.

4) Are squares worth a max of 5 points? So say, if you did a gif, which is usually given more than 5 points, it only counts as 5 points?

I just want to make sure I'm doing it right. Thanks!

First things first - thank you! It's always nice to hear compliments ;) Especially if it's the first time I do this as a moderator...

Now to your questions:

1) Yes, for a single bingo you have to fill one line (= 3 prompts). We take this straight from classic bingo rules. That bit with "every square is worth 5 points" is more for clarification than anything else, so that everyone knows how we get to the 45 points, okay?

2) No, not at all. If anything, I want to see as many different fills as possible. For me, fandoms live from diversity, and where do you get more of that than in a bingo challenge? XD Same goes for how you interpret your prompts. If you, for example, have a song prompt, you don't have to do a video. It also could inspire you to do a short story, a picspam, or a set of icons. Or which fandom you use for each prompt.

3 + 4) For this challenge, we have a limit of 51 points. So we had to make a cut somewhere, and therefore, we count each filled square as just one, no matter if you fill it with more than 4 icons, or a little epic story. But you're right, if you read over the fill suggestions, it leaves you thinking that ;) Sorry, but I took that straight from the suggestions of my team. And yeah, each fill, no matter what, is worth 5 points this time.

Hope this clarifies all! Good luck!

so if I want to participate I have to write fic? and do a fan video? Or can I do the entire 3x3 thing with graphics?

No, not at all! I know it from some LJ friends that they made the "big" (= 5x5 card) entirely with graphics. Only thing I would love to see in that case is a bit of variety, not just only, for example, icons. But other than that, go wild!

So the examples listed above are the minimum per square? Have to do at least 4 icons to get 5 points for the square?

I'll echo that it's a lot of work for you all to come up with different prompts for everyone, it'll be great to see what everyone creates!

Yep, they are. I know, it's not exactly perfect, but we had to compromise somehow when we designed the challenge.

And thank you so much for the compliment! *bows*

Can I make sig tags for somebody else?

And usually an icon is worth as much as a sig tag... just saying. :P

does the freespace have to be heart related?

To be honest, it would be great to see a theme-related fill there as well, but since we didn't exactly say so, I'm okay with everything ;)

What about tumblr graphic? One per square?
