No questions, just woo!

i agree, woo!!

[keepfandomweird]

are you okay with people submitting rpf?

Yep, that's fine!

[keepfandomweird]

Are there any penalties if we fail to create anything?

No, the sexy discipline bingo event is next door ->

Okay being serious now, no, no penalties. This is not a rules focused event. I decided on bingo as the format because it seemed like it'd provide a fun challenge, but if you don't make anything with your prompts it's fine. This is all for fun.

Are a majority of the prompts going to be romantic/sexual in nature (i.e. sex pollen) or is it possible to participate in this event as a gen fic writer, too?

Hi, 31 of the 95 prompts are specifically about romance or sex in some way. The rest are gen or can be interpreted in a variety of ways.

Edit: And just to be clear, the prompt list will be provided before sign up, so people can decide from there if they're still interested.

is there an age limit for participating? like, mdni or anything ^^

Hi, no, I'm not going to be getting into anything about age restrictions here. A good number of the prompts are about sex, a few about violence. People are going to have to decide for themselves if they want to participate, I can't and won't be delving into anyone's personal info.

And now here we have the more info post.

What's all this then? This is a bingo event. What that means is that you sign up during the scheduled sign up period, and then I, the skeleton behind this Tumblr account, will send you a randomized 4x4 bingo card with 16 prompts ready to go.

I don't want this and that thing. The full list will be provided when sign up begins and you'll be able to opt out of prompts that you absolutely do not want to get on your card, up to 3 total.

Is this a fanfic only event? No definitely not! You can write, you can create art, you can make a fanvid, you can do whatever fandom activity tickles your fancy.

How do I WIN? You can get a bingo in different ways. Maybe create one big thing with a line of four prompts. Maybe create four smaller things with a different prompt each. Maybe go crazy and cover the entire card for the ultimate bingo.

WHAT do I win? The honor and pride of a job well done, yaaay.

Are there any rules about content? Don't create things with generative AI. Otherwise no. You know what you're about, create what you want. No minimum word count, no maximum word count. Any rating you feel like doing, any format. Be nice. Be chill.

What's the timeline like on this? The sign-up period will be three weeks long. The cards will be sent out by email over the following week. After that you're free, there's no deadline for completing works. Above all else we will be keeping this chill. I will be making a round-up post of sorts after a couple months and I will post about that to let people know, so if you want a creation deadline, you've got that to work toward.

Why this weirdness obsession of yours, Ms. Skeleton? I decided to start this thing to encourage people to let go of some of the insecurities and second-guesses they might have built up. Fandom's supposed to be kind of silly, to me. People get so serious about it though. Not everything's gotta be serious, you know?

Hey! That prompt isn't weird at all! I want my money back. One person's sex pollen is another person's mundane AU. And anything can be done off the wall, if you try. I've done my best to make the prompt pool a good mix of different types of unusual.

Okay but WHEN? Soon. July. I will make a post probably a week or so before sign-ups begin as a warning.

If you've got any more questions not covered already, feel free to send an ask.

[keepfandomweird]

hello! can it be any fandom?

Yep, any fandom you want!

[keepfandomweird]

How do we sign up? :)

Hello! A post with more information will go up in the next couple of days. You'll have three weeks to sign up and I'll post announcing the exact dates ahead of time.

[keepfandomweird]

Are there examples of bingo cards?

Hi, when the sign-up period starts the full prompt list will be provided so people can give it a look and strike out a few if they really don't want to risk them showing up on their card. You'll be able to see what the cards look like then, too.

Hi and welcome to the introductory post for the pan-fandom Keep Fandom Weird event.

Sometimes you get stuck in a rut. Sometimes fandom at large gets stuck in one long hard rut. Stop snickering, this is a serious topic. Do you ever long to read and write some classic fandom weirdness? A modern no powers coffee shop AU has its place, but weird shit has its place too. And that place is here, @keepfandomweird dot com.

This is a bingo event! You sign up, you get a bingo card, you get to working. Any fandom, no rating limits, anything you're into. There will be an AO3 collection you can add your stories to.

Stay tuned for more!
