RULES / FAQ
Important Dates
Sign ups: cards can be requested anytime before September 30, 2011
Round one: July 1, 2011 to Dec 31, 2011
Rules
1. Each bingo card is a randomized 5x5 grid filled with prompts drawn from a master list. The goal is to make a bingo on your card. A bingo can be made as a line, blackout, X, or cross. You may also make a postage stamp - which is all the squares around the outer edge of your card.
2. Squares are marked off toward a bingo or an extra by filling the prompt within the square. For each square a new piece of fanwork (fic, art, vid, etc.) must be created.
3. You can submit any kind of fannish content: fics, art, vids, podfics, picspams, icons, and mixes. To keep the amount of work a fill takes consistent there are minimum requirements for a fill. They are as follows:
fic - 500 words
art - medium sized
icons - set of 10
podfic - 500 word fic
picspam - 20 pics
vids - 30 seconds
mix - 10 songs
4. After completing your first bingo you may complete extras on your current card or request a new card.
5. You must complete at least one bingo on your card before requesting a new one. You may request a maximum of three cards per round.
6. Anything already publicly posted may not be used to fill a square for bingo; however, new chapters of an existing WIP may be used as long as the chapter containing the fill is not posted prior to the start of Round 1.
7. You can reuse any square on your card as many times as you want but each use must be a new piece of fic, art, etc. A fill cannot be used in more than one bingo. You may put more than one fill in a multi-chaptered work but each fill must be in a separate chapter.
8. Fills can be posted where you see fit (your journal, communidomesticbingo community. All links need to go to open posts (no locked/private entries/sites). For more information see Posting Template below. We will only count fills for what is posted to the comm before 11:59 p.m. Dec 31 in your local time zone.
9. As this is a fandom-specific challenge, there is no restriction on your pairings/characters, so long as one of them is a member of the AI7/Anthemic group.
10. Your fanwork should have more than just a singular mention of the prompt. It should deal with it in some way. For example, if your prompt is "Game Night" that should be a significant factor in your fanwork, not just a passing mention. How you deal with a prompt is left at your discretion.
11. As this is a domestic/schmoop-writing challenge, please do not go overboard on the angst and use warnings for potentially triggering content.
