Hurt/Comfort Bingo - the End
I haven't completed a bingo, but it's amnesty now, so nothing gets you actual points, and since I have now written 11 things for it, I decided that was enough, never mind getting five in a row!
In the last couple of days I added two things of pretty much no interest to anyone:
Public Service? : Public Eye meta (~1200 words. Non-spoilery.). Meta on the character of Frank Marker from Public Eye and how much he can and can't be said to prostitute himself (metaphorically at least). (For the bingo square "prostitution".)
I was contemplating possible bingos and that I could possibly use "prostitution" for Public Eye in relation to Frank, and then wrote this in almost no time at all. (I like the strips I made with my icons, but that is probably the only bit worth looking at.)
Fic: Human Development
(Teen, David Neville/Colin Webster). “A geneticist is always disturbed… look at your development. It’s quite extraordinary.” They’ve known each other forever, or near enough, but it’s a long road from there to here.
You may or may not recall that time I made a picspam of Children of the Damned and how I got myself through the film (it was a wee bit tedious, but it had more Alfred Burke and that was what I wanted at the time) by making up random ships and backstory, and... then I realised that that hypothetical backstory would fit really well into the earnest moral, and then I scribbled fic, and then I realised it would fit a bingo square... and yes. I paid for my folly, though. Not only did I have to watch whole scenes again, I also wasted far too much time trying to work out from Colin's scarf which Oxbridge college he (and presumably David Neville) went to. This, btw, via net and a black and white screencap is not possible. Little knowledge of anything beyond the picspam is needed to read this, but I can't imagine why anyone should want to. (I was, at that point, still contemplating a bingo.)
My final result on the card looks like this:
bodyguards
sacrifice
tentacles
substance addiction
theft
panic attacks
forced soulbonding
trust issues
prostitution
cages
alien abduction
sexual extortion
WILD CARD (Dystopia)
torture
loss of vision
bullet wounds
unrequited pining
branding
accidents
plane crash
trapped between realities
natural disasters
tyranny / rebellion
surprise sexswap
runaways
Looking at it, I realise this probably qualifies as wilful refusal to achieve a bingo or something (a horsehoe shape should be a bingo, right?!), but I thought it was time to move on. The challenge finished two months ago now, and all I needed therefore was one fic to post in amnesty and I'd managed 10 and my first bit of meta. In all seriousness, though, I really did get a lot out of it. And that's what counts, rather than trying to finish that tentacles fic, or even dashing off a ficlet about theft.
So then of course I signed up for the March Amnesty challenge, to make 15 recs between these three prompts - incorporating 1, 2 or 3 of them, but 15 recs in total:
insomnia
poisoning
unrequited pining
Should be interesting... (There's no penalty if I don't make it, and I do like recs posts.)
