Sorry if I've just missed this somewhere, but is there a minimum word count for bingo fics? And a more general question: when writing fanfic, is RPF allowed? Thanks!

laceandbuttons August 22 2012, 00:07:01 UTC

Oh! Great question. I'll add it to the post. Minimum word count for each fic is 500 words; basically a drabble. And of course! RPF is fine. Write literally whatever you're motivated and inspired to write :)

Excellent, thank you!

When is the deadline?

laceandbuttons August 22 2012, 01:21:23 UTC

There's no deadline! Just make things when the inspiration hits :)

si_crazy August 22 2012, 02:23:43 UTC

Great! Thank you! ;)

I don't understand, I have to make five icons for every square? Sorry but I'm not sure (:

laceandbuttons August 22 2012, 20:34:14 UTC

Nope! A minimum of five icons just means that you must at least finish a basic bingo, you can't turn in partial bingos. So, one icon per square. I clarified up at the top for everyone :)

Do we need to use the word in a sentence and eventually use up the entire board? Or do we write one thing per word, based on or inspired by that word?

In terms of icons, do we make one icon based per word or five icons per word?

laceandbuttons August 22 2012, 20:34:54 UTC

You don't necessarily need to use the word in a sentence and explicitly state it. However, it must be obvious or easy to figure out which word your writing was inspired by.

As for icons, it's one icon per bingo square :)

Alright, thanks! (:

Dumb question: can I get a number for a Bingo icon entry (as in Bingo card 1: do I make 25 icons or 5 or 4 since you said something about corners up there ? I really have no idea what any of those Bingos you mention with the points are :) I only know lines for Bingo.)

Sure! I edited it above. To keep the number of items made consistent between all types that will earn a member 25 points, we are going to stick to a traditional bingo only for the lowest level; this is a change from what it was before. Now a member will need any 5 in a row to complete that level!
