The prompts were pretty good but some of them were repeated from other bingos and I couldn't stand getting the same ones on different cards. Especially those I didn't want to write about in the first place (like wings. I know some people loved it, but I don't.)

I had a couple that could have fit well for this comm, but I forgot them >.< I will try to think of them again!

Re: Prompts

I would love to see more phobias added, or a general one so we can pick what the character is afraid of. Fires could be added, I didn't see it on the list, death of a friend/family/child/pet whatever it maybe HC is involved.

Those are lame but I had more I swear >.

A few ideas for new prompts:
You have soulbonding, but how about body- or mind-swap?
Also, how about something like:
vampires, forced to feed off loved one
Also, how about:
imprisoned with enemy/rival
Or something else that means being stuck somewhere with someone you hate.
On that note:
forced to rely on enemy/rival
Also:
force-feeding
On a possibly sexual/triggery note (sorry):
forced nudity
And maybe:
frisking/body cavity search
And that's it.

I just want to say thank you for being so accomodating in allowing people to state prompts/areas they really don't want to do. I have a couple that make me really uncomfortable but they're not the sort that people expect to be squicks, so it's great to have that option, and it certainly makes the fest more accessible.

I would really love to see a 4 corners option added to extras... just cuz.

Re: Scoring

I agree, that would be fun. (-:

Re: Scoring

I know there's already been some thought about this, but I do feel that there should be a different type of scoring for shorter v. longer stories--NOT because quantity = quality, but because for authors who write long, it's impossible to compete with short-fic authors.

Re: General Feedback

[fenm]

One thing that sorta bugged me is that every way I looked on my bingo card, there was a supernatural/alien/something-along those-lines prompt, like werewolves, telepathy, wings, etc. Not everyone is into fandoms that delve into these things, and while fanfiction allows for people to do what the canon never would, some people like to try to stick close enough to canon that they wouldn't, for example, turn someone from Glee into a werewolf, or have Sherlock Holmes grow wings...

If this is something you feel strongly about, I'll completely understand (I'm actually one of those people who doesnt mind messing with canon to such a degree), but I just thought I'd bring it up.

THANK YOU! I just said the same thing up in the prompt lists!
