Trope Bingo REDUX

[lady_ragnell]

Since I had such fun last time, and they had such a good list of tropes this time, I requested a card, and I got an awesome spread of things to play with! So expect these things to be showing up over the next several months:

soul bonding / soulmates
futurefic
forbidden fruit
sex pollen
curtainfic

au: historical
au: romance novel

Oh man, I will absolutely spread the gospel of Trope Bingo, it is such a lot of fun and a pretty flexible challenge! What you do is you go to their dreamwidth, where they've got all the rules and regs and a list of tropes for this round and a place to sign up (and there are some fabulous tropes this round, as you can see from above--the only one I'm really sad I didn't get on my card is "epistolary"). And then you get a card and go for a bingo or blackout, but like I said, it is flexible! So if one of your pthon fics happened to fit one of your squares, that would count, or one of your graphics or AU graphics could absolutely count so it doesn't all have to be fic (I'm just a one-trick pony). And there's all the way till the end of October for the regular round, and all the way till the end of December for amnesty, so it's a nice relaxed time frame!

And I can't wait to write all of the fics, I have been brainstorming ...

It's great for being stuck! I've always done better with a prompt or something to keep me on track, so it's a great help to me. You can only fill more than one square at a time when you're doing "extras," unfortunately, which are a weird little thing you can do to get more points (welcome to Trope Bingo, where everything's made up and the points don't matter!)--I mean, you could write a soulbonding fic that's a historical AU, but it would only count for one. However, if you wanted to sidestep around that, it's quite possible to add on an epilogue or short second story in a series that uses both and count the second one as the second trope. It is, from what I can tell, quite within the letter of the law.
