Breaking back into the writing scene!

[ammchan]

So the other day, I found out about this great writing challenge called schmoop_bingo : in which you get 25 themes/prompts to write on for any fandom you want, in bingo board form. There's also apparently a point system and prizes involved, the more writing and completing "bingos" you do

*stares in awe at bingo board*

*reminds self she hasn't finished her first bingo board for her au~bingo*

*runs away*

*totally thinks everyone else should do the bingos though!*

[ammchan]

Bingos are awesome! :D I can't believe I only just discovered them. So you're doing one too? AU bingo, huh? I knew there were some other ones but I haven't looked into them yet. How awesome!

I totally have to find more and see if they suit my tastes~

[fyliwionvilyaer]

I may go ahead and take another up too ^^;;;; I wanna get my first AU card done first though.

I'ts pretty fun, I've been dying to do an AU challenge since I heard of 30kisses way back when XP I'd considered signing up for a reg challenge and doing it as AU and when I saw the bingo thing it was ideal.

They are nice though cuz you can pick and choose and go at a sorta leisure pace, and there's a poss. reward at the end too so more reason to finish ^_^ (Not to mention you don't have to do just one couple/pairing/fandom if you don't want... which while that feels semi cheating/weird is kinda nice with esp. the AU... it's kinda hard to use the "High School" prompt with MK... or detectives with DC XP or say Angels/Demons with Supernatural *sniggers*))

[candy__chan]

Fyli should do lots of bingos *wisenods* And not just because I want to read lots of fics from you, of course not *innocentface*

That looks like so much fun omg. I love fluffy romances, but I'm definitely not meant to be a writer XD Good luck! YOU SHOULD TOTALLY GO FOR BLACKOUT 8D Do you know which fandom(s) you're going to do?

[ammchan]

Aww XD But anyone can be a writer! If you love fluffy romances, it would totally be worth a try. XD AND OH MY GOSH I want to but "making love" asdghh; CANNOT WRITE SEX

I'm not really sure how many fandoms I'll hit yet! :D I've got a few ideas for Persona 3, Kingdom Hearts; I'm sure Ace Attorney will find its way in there, especially since I haven't written anything involving Investigations yet... :D We'll see!

I'm trying to be diverse, so I'll try to spread across as many fandoms as I can XD

[flyssa]

Haha, maybe sometime in the future... XD But ffff first "I love you" makes me go all ahsjdfkhasjkl. LOLOL I IMAGINE THAT WRITING SEX SCENES WOULD BE REALLY AWKWARD. Make it totally ambiguous so you don't have to write out a super graphic scene.

ACE ATTORNEYYYY! *O* Pfff, I'm not biased at all

[slewinca]

Awww, that sounds so neat! :D Fluff is my favorite thing to write, I swear x3 I wrote a fluffy AkuRoku one-shot JUST two days ago. Really. ^^'
It sounds interesting; I'll have to think about signing up.
But for now, I'll cheer you on : D Can't wait to see what you do with these!

[ammchan]

Ah, right! It was Aku-Roku day recently, I think, wasn't it? :3 That's awesome! You should totally sign up and try. ^^ (And yay, I love fluff too!)

And thank you! :D Aww I'm so glad I have your support! Yaaaay~

[slewinca]

Yep! On Friday the 13th, haha :p
Unfortunately I wrote the fic AFTER AkuRoku day (the one I linked to in my LJ post was written months ago)...it's alright though, I usually like to tweak a newly-written fic more and/or have it beta-read before posting publicly anyways. Personally I think it's pretty adorable :3
From the very beginning, I've loved Axel and Roxas together and happy, so I love writing them like that x3
I want to sign up, but I'm kinda afraid of some of the prompts I may get D:
I have NO idea what I'd do if I got "massage - erotic" or "feeding - erotic" .///.
I'm slowly working towards writing a "making love" scene, so I'm not too scared of that ^^'

You're welcome! :D
Us fanfic writers have gotta support each other, right? ^_^

Love the icon, by the way ♥ So pretty~

[ammchan]

*laugh* You could avoid those themes if you wanted! You don't have to write on all of them ^_^

And thank you! I love the Days trio, and made the icon myself, so it is steal-able if you are so inclined. They are just so awesome together :)

[grimoire]

I must say that's a pretty creative idea to make a challenge like that o.o Never heard of something like that but good luck! I cannot wait to see once you're finished :)

[ammchan]

I hadn't heard of it either XD; I found it totally by chance because someone had mentioned it in a random community post! I was so stoked! \o/

And thank you for cheering me on! :D

OMIGOSH!!!

I just signed up for a card. I have about a zillion stories in the works...but maybe one of them will fit in a bingo. It wouldn't be surprising; I am such a schmoopy writer. Though I could have fun standing all the tropes on their head with my favorite OTP, who are so non-schmoopy they can't even say "I love you" in a serious manner.

Thanks for pimping this--and for showing your very schmoopy card! I hope you have a lot of fun with your story (stories)

[ammchan]

YAY! That's so awesome that you signed up; I knew you were a writer so I was hoping I might catch your interest ^__^ I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to fit your stories into the themes!

Let me know when you get your card! :D And good luck to both of us! *hu-fives*

I just got my schmoop card, and posted about it:
