How to play:

  • You sign up (You can sign up for a bingo card at any time--today or next year or in 2018, if anyone's around in 2018 to make you one) by saying you want to play Bingo in the BAND-IT BINGO Sign-Up Post.
  • I'll give you a bingo card with 24 randomly selected band-related prompts and a free space (it will be a web page that you can link in your signature if you like)
  • You try to make bingo by writing bandfic, creating fan art or a fan vid, making a manip, recording a podcast or a podfic, putting together a mix tape, writing a song, or whatever creative endeavor you want to do for each square in a horizontal, vertical or diagonal line of five squares.
  • For the free space, you can write/draw/create anything.
  • For fics, there is no minimum or maximum word count.
  • Your bandworks can be about actual bands or your own characters.
  • You're not limited to sticking with the same band for every prompt on your card. You can if you want to, but you don't have to.
  • You post your work (or a link to your work) to the BAND-IT BINGO Filled squares! post as you finish each prompt, and I'll update your bingo card accordingly. (For fics, you may want to post them to the archive and then just link them in the post, especially longer fics.)
  • When you win, we all win (with more fic and stuff :D)!
  • A regular bingo is worth 10 points. An advanced bingo is worth 25. After you achieve a bingo, you can go for Extras, where you'll combine multiple prompts. Extras are worth 10 points each. See the examples below for illustrated explanations of the bingos and extras.
  • You can wring as much out of one card as you want, using the same prompt(s) multiple times to achieve more bingos or extras, or you ask for a new card at any time (after you've completed at least one regular bingo) and retire your old one.

Here's a sample card:

Here's a regular bingoÑyou would create five different bandworks, one for each prompt. You can do it vertically (as shown), horizontally, or diagonally. Total points on this card: 10.

Here's a cross advanced bingoÑyou would create nine different bandworks, one for each prompt. You only need to do the free space once. Total points on this card: 25.

Here's an X advanced bingo. Like the cross, you need to create nine different bandworks. Total points on this card: 25.

Here is a single-line extra. You would create one fanwork encompassing all of the prompts in a row. (Note, the green squares show a bingo that's already been achieved--the purple dots are the extra.). Total points on this card: 20.

Here's a simultaneous double-line extra. You need to submit five fanworks, each one using a pair of prompts. In this example, there would be one fanwork for "boredom & music video," one for "overzealous groupies & cancelled show," one for "no showers for days & firing a band member, manager or crew member," one for "bar fights & club management doesn't pay," and one for "backstage at a festival & first gig." (Again, the green squares show a bingo that's already been achieved while the purple dots show the extra.) Total points on this card: 20.

Here's a postage stamp extra. You would turn in one bandwork that uses all of the prompts in a 2x2 square. (Green squares indicate a bingo already achieved; purple dots show the extra). For this extra, you'd turn in a bandwork that incorporates "no showers for days," "bar fights" and "practical jokes" (and the "free space," which in the case of an extra doesn't mean anything.) Total points on this card: 20.

Here's a card where somebody went for broke with a cross (light green background), a single line extra (purple), two regular bingos (light blue background & light blue border around green background), a simultaneous double extra (blue), and two postage stamps (red). Total points on this card: 85.
