You're a brave one, far braver than me obviously. The idea of h/c bingo truly terrifies me - in fact more than I thought it would, but after looking at that card...
But I think you're braver than me, because you kink_bingo card frightens the life out of me! And to be honest, that card is scary, especially first thing in the morning, but the more I look at it, the more I see possibilities - and the prompts are defined like the tropes at trope_bingo (and there are plenty of ways to interpret those even so), they're just prompts as stands
( ... )
I don't know if you're aware of it, but trope bingo does have a themed mini-card challenge during amnesty. Can I use your idea? An apocalypse mini-card selection sound rather nice, though I have only vague ideas for sub-tropes right now.*totally hasn't been looking up apocalypses on TV Tropes etc

Clocket's got some more suggestions at the end of this post now. :-)
(I think, if trope_bingo don't want it, or it starts getting out of hand - we should do it anyway, in the autumn, but before Yuletide starts? Autumn Apocalypse Mini-Bingo! You have the know-how, I have the, er, cheek and wish to explode all my fandoms?? ;-D Well, actually, I do know enough html to make a basic table.)

:lol: Okay, then, I'll calm down and wait for you to actually write it. I suppose I can do that. ;-D
I spent an hour walking up and down in my flat, arguing with him about it. You see, it was mostly his idea. I thought everything was fine, but I was getting looks that said just how stupid I was...
He does get very set on things, doesn't he? :-)

Well, I wonder about one or both of us doing a brainstorming post to start with (and seeing what level of interest there is).
Because if it's a mini-event, it could be a comm, or one of us could just host it on our LJs, as with my ficathon - I had a banner post, the ficathon post and the fills post and it all worked out. If we're just giving out mini bingos, and then maybe having a post for linking to completed bingos, we don't need much more than that. On the other hand, if there's a lot of enthusiasm, a comm for an potentially annual/whatever challenge would be worth it.
1st Oct sounds reasonable - if it does work out, I wouldn't mind bringing it forward a week or two, which then gives us 6 weeks before Yuletide kicks off (if it's the same as last year). Once you're into Oct, there really is a lot of build-up to Yuletide, with nominations, plus various Hallowe'en fests and so on.
But it all depends - and how it fits in with rl, of course.

I looked them up before you even asked - it seemed like something somebody should do. I suppose I just have an evil sense of humour. ;-)

And, ooo, fine, send it over as soon as you like! Hopefully I could even get it done by this evening, too.

Or possibly think of more ways to end a planet...

But I think it could be fun to try! :-)
