I would love to try my hand at writing the first kiss prompt how much time are we alloted to do this prompt and if i need a beta can you rec some one for me?

Hey! If you're inspired to write one story by this list, that's awesome, and we encourage you to go for it, but the game is actually based off a bingo card. You go to the Sign Up Post and we'll assign you a randomly generated card, and you try to make bingos out of it for points. First kiss may or may not be on yours, we have no control over that.

As for a beta, I would recommend you ask friends in your fandom. Beta readers tend to have specific niches, so asking around, maybe posting in your LJ, is probably the best way to go there.

There are so many other prompts that are awesome that I didn't get, so it's going to be so freaking hard to pick my wild card! LOL. I can't wait to start!

If you want to do more than one bingo that goes through the center square, you can pick a different prompt each time for the wild card...

Ooh, interesting! Thanks!

Have you guys thought about including non-Christian and non-American holidays?

[peppervl]

Do you have suggestions for any? We don't want anything obscure (note there are no obscure American or Christian holidays either), but big ones would be awesome. Being an American who was raised Christian, I'm not really aware of what non-American and non-Christian holidays would lend themselves well to schmoop, but if you or anyone else can give us some, we'd love to have them.

Thank you for being open to the idea! I'll ask my flist and get back to you.

Actually, rather than add prompts, we changed the ones we had to be more generic. There's a post in the comm now to explain how we're handling the issue & the prompt list has been updated. This way we can allow for fictional, in canon holidays and we won't inadvertently exclude anyone. I hope that addresses the issue to everyone's satisfaction.

ETA: Here's the link I couldn't provide before since I was on my phone: Holidays

Thank you for politely bringing the issue to our attention.

Um what does Magnet Poetry mean? And what about de-age (physical) - thanks!

[peppervl]

Magnet poetry is poetry you make with magnets. There are sets that have words in them, and they stick to refrigerators, filing cabinets, metal desk drawers, etc. Here's a website with sets that you can play with online.

De-age (physical) means that the character is somehow (spell, curse, aliens, whatever) physically turned into a child again. Often they're still an adult mentally, but that's up to you.
