What have I done ^2

[sholio]

I also signed up for a trope_bingo card!

AU: BAND	DEATH FIC	MARRIAGE	AU: OTHER	TALL TALE
AU: MUNDANE	MIND CONTROL	MIND GAMES	CELEBRATORY KISS	UNEXPECTED FRIENDSHIP
CROSS DRESSING/ COSTUMES	ART INITIATES LIFE	FREE SPACE	FOOD AND COOKING	LOCKED IN
AU: FUSION	LOSS OF INNOCENCE	AU: HIGH SCHOOL/ COLLEGE	ACCIDENTAL HERO	MATCHMAKER
FUTURE FIC	CANNON FODDER	PERSPECTIVE FLIP	FORBIDDEN FRUIT	RIGHTS OF PASSAGE/ COMING OF AGE

And that is ... certainly a bingo card, isn't it.

Like I used to do with h/c bingo cards, I went through and colored the squares to reflect my interest in writing them and the difficulty I think I'd probably have achieving the prompt.



Green=excited about writing this! already have some ideas!
Yellow=theoretically I can write this; I'm not really enthusiastic, but I can probably come up with something
Orange=don't caaaaare
Dark orange=still don't care, now with extra DNW
Red=the odds of me writing this and actually enjoying the process are low

(Although "art initiates life" is mostly just confusing. I have literally no clue what that means. ETA: Okay, looked it up on TV Tropes and now I am less confused! It means paintings coming to life and that sort of thing. Which is much more do-able than anything I had been thinking -- I actually like that trope!)

I keep thinking I should sign up for a bingo, since my fic output has been nearly non-existent, and I write most when I have prompts. But looking at various bingo cards, the number of spaces I could actually write is so low, it doesn't seem worth it.

That said (let's continually turn the conversation back to me), I'd love to see what you'd do with those green ones.

The list of prompts looked so promising! Reading it, I was thinking, "Ooh, I could do this one! Or this one! I'd love to do this one!"

... and then I got basically NONE of those. XD

Ah well ... it's fun to have prompts to write from again! I very deliberately did not sign up for any fandom exchanges or prompt cards last year (I was focusing heavily on other things) but I really love them, even if I rarely end up making actual bingos.

I kept assuming "art initiates life" was a typo for "art imitates life" and that they'd kept it because it was fun. ^^; (I had it last time.) Oops!

Oh-- I thought for sure that was a malapropism for art imitates life, since that's the common phrase. The generation of tropes never ceases to amaze and confuse me.
