September Challenge: L Shape
This month's challenge is a square challenge to make an L shape on your bingo card that's 3 squares high by 2 squares wide (i.e. 5 squares forming the shape of the letter "L"). Please include the tag challenge: L shape when you post. Once you’ve posted the podfic required to fulfill the monthly challenge, please comment here to let us know you’ve completed the challenge.
What Are Square Challenges?
Square challenges have to do with complete specific squares or specific shapes of squares on your card. For example we might challenge people to finish a mini-line of 3 squares in a row, or to complete an X formation.
If you complete a square challenge by the end of the month, you’ll win a cheat.
If your card already has a square formation that fits the monthly challenge before the challenge starts, you can only count that challenge as completed if you fill at least one square on your card within the challenge time period. For example, if the challenge is to get 3 squares in a row, and you already have 3 in a row before the challenge starts, you don’t have to get a whole new set of 3 in a row. You do however have to complete at least one square that month for it to count.
What Are Cheats?
Cheats are rewards that allow participants to manipulate their cards so that they can be finished more easily.
There are 2 kinds of cheats: shifting squares and swapping out squares.
Shifting squares allows participants to swap locations of two squares on their card.
Swapping out cheats allow you to discard one of your prompts entirely from your card and replace it with a prompt of your choosing from the prompt list.
Upcoming Challenges:
October: theme challenge: crossover
November: square challenge: X shape (5 squares)
December: TBA!
We selected the October theme based on the challenge poll results, with an eye towards keeping the challenges an even split between theme and square challenges. The runners up may be a part of what's coming in December or used in next year's Podfic Bingo.
