Okay what did I *just say*?

[owlmoose]

Remember how not signing up for any other projects was a writing goal for this month?

But there's a new round of trope_bingo just opened up.

It's not due until the end of October.

That's okay? Right? (tell me that's not okay)

Haha, I'm an enabler when it comes to Trope Bingo, so don't ask me to try to stop you! :)

I adore Trope Bingo, it's such a great way to get me to write small little pieces with a tight focus.

(Do it!!!) :)

Over on the LJ side, plantgirl suggested that I make getting a card a reward for finishing another project. We'll see if I have the willpower to do that. ;)

I'm gonna be the totally uncool square who will say no. NO IT'S NOT OKAY BECAUSE YOU NEED HANDS TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN AND DO YOU HAVE ENOUGH HANDS TO MAKE IT HAPPEN??

(pretend that I totally just made sense and stuff. Because I just said no and I need a reason!)

:B

[owlmoose]

Right now I actually don't have enough hands to make it happen! ;) But in August I expect I will.

[wallwalker]

Is waiting until August to sign up an option? Or at least until the end of July? That may be a good compromise! ^^;

[owlmoose]

Yeah, I think this is my plan. At least until I finish something, at which time I might crack...

Signup is open until October... So tempting. I skipped out on the last one, but on the other hand I signed up for a bingo challenge about two years ago and I think I wrote one story that I never posted. It was sad. I'm not sure I have the commitment levels for bingo material.

I saw you posted a list of the tropes you found interesting -- is that in lieu of a sign-up?

I did finish a bingo last time, although within the amnesty period. Is it just me, or is the writing period a lot longer this time?

How do you play... trope bingo? 0.o

It's a DW community (the link is in my post). You ask for a card, and they give you a five-by-five square, each one with a different story trope. The idea is to create five fanworks, each for a different trope, that makes a line on the card. Basically it's a way to get interesting prompts. The community has a pretty detailed FAQ if you're interested. I participated in the last round and it was very fun.
