Trope Bingo: The Wrap-up

My trope_bingo is all done! My completed card, under the cut:

( Bingo! )

And a list of all the stories, with links, here.

This was a fun project, although I wish it hadn't overlapped so closely with DOINK! and the Dragon Age Big Bang (a large part of why I didn't finish on time). But it got me working with ideas I don't usually play with, even if it was several of the usual suspects as far as characters were concerned. And it also lured me into starting that Iron Man/Sherlock Holmes thing, which was a lot of fun and will certainly continue. Would I sign up for this project again? Definitely! And I actually think choosing the double line worked well, since trying to work two tropes together acts as a stronger prompt for me than any one trope by itself. One thing I'd change for next time, though, is trying to write in more fandoms. A good goal, I think.

Star Trek: Into Darkness

I saw it. I liked it. Fun, with lots of appropriately whiz-bang fights and explosions and some great character moments as well. I'd say it was about on par with the first movie -- a fun sci-fi films, some good nods to classic Trek while remaining clearly rooted in the J.J. Abrams 'verse. Good acting. Let's not talk about the plot.

About the Benedict Cumberbatch thing...

So, in conclusion: fun, just don't think too hard about the plot holes. I would watch it again. Two thumbs tentatively up.
