Genprompt bingo card

[sholio]

I requested a card from genprompt_bingo, because I see the words "bingo" and "card", and all my restraint and common sense goes straight out the window.

Character Study	Trauma	Season of Mists (Autumn Colours, Sensations, Activities and Festivals)	Food, cooking and mealtimes	Horror
Dreams and Nightmares	Pride	Reincarnation	Writing, Text and Quotes	Electromagnetic Waves
Pirate AU	Feudal Ties / Master and Servant	Wild Card	The North Wind doth Blow	Fix-its
The Bridge	Sunrise / Sunset	Freckles	Logic and Numbers	Winners and Losers
Terrible	Zombies	Ritual Marks and Body Decorations	Humiliation	Information is given off the record

I honestly don't know what to do with this one. XD I liked frith_in_thorns' card so much better than mine! All of the lines have at least one square that's going to be really hard for me, or downright impossible, or so vague as to be difficult to write for that alone (like "Fixit"). Hmmm.

I agree, that card is very uninspiring. What are you supposed to do with "terrible?" Or "electromagnetic waves?"

[sholio]

Yeah, I may end up just leaving this one alone. There are squares I could do something with, but at least half the squares are either completely uninspiring or downright offputting to me. I'd really have to struggle to get a line out of it.

I was blinking at "The North Wind doth Blow."

Do any of the squares suggest obvious canons that you would be able to use as an anchor to warp the rest of the line into? (If I'm interpreting the instructions correctly, this style of prompt seems a lot more complicated than the usual "here is a canon I like and here are some characters I like and here are some things they could do.")

Is it? I've been looking over the posts in paranoia now that you've said this, but I can't see anything that says there are more instructions than usual for prompt squares?

I've not even finished reading your post and I'm getting a bingo card, even though I've dismally failed every card I've gotten for years.

Maybe we can help generate ideas? If you don't like fixits, maybe write something with a character literally fixing something.

you could always ask for your free reroll and hope for a better spread? genprompt bingo cards can be very hit-and-miss purely bc of how varied the prompts are :/

[sholio]

I thought about that, but I think I'm going to stick with the one I have mostly because there's no telling if I'd get a better card, and I don't actually know if I'd write something for it anyway! I can probably pick up at least a couple of ideas off it.

Well, fix-its is my specialty and the easiest one in this bingo! XD

[lilly_c]

I agree your card is a uninspiring :(

I have my card for that bingo and there's only the bottom line on mine that's achievable, the rest are of the prompts are tricky.

[frith_in_thorns]

Sorry, I quite like your card XD But then I enjoy really spinning out the interpretations of things. For instance, there's no reason why you can't use "fix-its" as a character literally fixing something. Or to fix a lack of hurt/comfort in an episode.

(I would probably peg the middle horizontal line as the easiest to do, for myself: short pirate AU, something playing on a power differential from canon (Peggy and Jack?), something fun for the wild card, hypothermia, and a small canon detail-change.)

Also, don't forget you can actually swap the wild card space with any one other space on the board!

[sholio]

Want to trade? :PPPP

The "Feudal Ties / Master and Servant" is definitely one of the squares I'm really struggling with - I don't know about using any power differential for it (it feels so specific!) although I could do an AU, come to think of it.

I had forgotten you can swap out the wild card space - that's really helpful! Thank you for reminding me! :)

Ohh, looks like you got some good ones! Pirate AU in particular sounds like a lot of fun.
