Seven Deadly Sins of a High School Bingo BB

[dephigravity]

So first off, I feel the need to apologize for my lack of Sin Updates. When I started posting I was all ready to go full out with all seven right away and had four completely written. I am holding out on posting the fourth (GREED) because I want that to be the finale, but I should have GLUTTONY done tonight or first thing tomorrow and then off to my amazingly talented friend and beta dcillusioned. I have a good chunk of ENVY done too so that will probably be next up. I am gonna try to focus this weekend to get some writing done, even with it being a holiday and all. *crosses fingers* All that will leave is PRIDE, which I have a plot all figured out for and now I just need to write it.

I had a bit of a shock when I noticed it was check in today for the RPF Bingo I signed up for. I have 2500 words written, which, I guess, is a better start than I thought it would be but that's what I will be working on when Sins wraps up. :) I am doing a J2 movie adaptation that I am really excited about, and can't wait for y'all to see!

Now on to the bingos I have signed up for... I have my wild card for KINK done so far (thank you LUST!) and I have one prompt filled out for SCHMOOP done but it isn't posted. I am gonna try to work on these whenever I am not neck deep in BB writing :P For KINK I am going for a cross pattern (if any body has suggestions for water sports I would love some help! that's my one AHHH prompt on the pattern lol)and goin' for Blackout for SCHMOOP!!!

Which brings us up to hs_bingo. If you haven't heard yet, transfixeddream and I are heading up a little bingo of our own based on HIGH SCHOOL AU! As of right now we have over 100 players, double what we were expecting at this point. Fandoms range from SPN, RPS, to Smallville, Glee, Bandoms, and even Disney shows, plus a lot more! So between us two and [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com] we will be pleasantly bursting at the seams with HS AU over the next few months! The challenge will be open up until New Year's Eve so feel free to come play.

Phew! I think that about covers it! Now off to celebrate my dad's birthday, blow up some tiny explosives, and then to diligently write, write write! XD

lol I do try. Let's see... For the non challenge comms, take a look at my user info... you should be able to look at their info and rules to decide if it is a place you may want to post to.

For challenges I generally stick to the Bingos though I am debating on one of those 50 prompt box tables, and I am planning on signing up for the [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com] challenge. You choose a prompt based on a disney movie and write a fic based on that.

Bingos are a great way to dip your toes into challnges. There are a ton of different ones out there but for the most part they work the same way. You request a card and they send you a 5x5 card of prompts. You then create a fan work for each prompt of your chosen pattern (line, cross, blackout). Once all of your pattern is completed you submit to the comm for points (or for shits and giggles if during the amnesty period). These are time sensitive challenges and each bingo has different rules so it's best to read them over before joining. ;) Here are a few I am signed up for...
hc_bingo, schmoop_bingo, kink_bingo though it has now moved on to Dreamwidth but there is a link on their journal. And of course my personal favorite, not to mention my pride and joy, hs_bingo.

Table prompts work a little differently. They follow the same concept of using prompts but there are usually more than 25 but there is most likely no given time constraint. These are more of the pat on your back for completing them type of challenges. Like I said I've never done one myself, but my beta loves doing them and has been urging me to try one. the one I might do is at [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com].

Meme is hard to define... try googling it or putting it in wikipedia and it'll confuse the hell out of you. For LJ purposes it is more of a collection of ideas, a way to interact with other users, or a place to find more prompts. There are a ton of memes out there but here are a few examples...

Places like the [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com] and [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com] are places to discuss the show and fanfic in general. Be forewarned though the anon meme is not for everyone. lol

The comment memes are fun. They usually involve someone leaving a more descriptive prompt that other members are free to write for, usually posted in the comment boxes on the comm itself (but you can cross post to your journal). Some popular types are songfic memes, where you write based on the lyrics of a song or the kink or schmoop memes. My favorite is blindfold_spn. It's a kink comm that you anonymously post prompts and fill others prompts. once the comm is closed you can choose to reveal what you wrote or leave it a mystery.

Phew! hope that helps lmao
