Seventh Anniversary Drabble Bingo

[Negrek]

Seventh Anniversary Drabble Bingo​

It's time for another round of our most popular anniversary event: Drabble Bingo! The premise is simple: request a bingo card, optionally specify a theme, and receive nine prompts in return. You can ask for pretty much any theme for your prompts: perhaps you'd like some hurt/comfort prompts, or prompts about Zoroark. Here's an example of what a card of PMD-related prompts might look like:

Lost Memories	Lively Town	Trust Your Partner
The Best Treasure	Calamity	Stairs?!
Low IQ	No Way Out	Voice of Life

Once you've got your card, it's time to get to work filling it out! Write a drabble for any three prompts vertically, diagonally, or horizontally to score a bingo, and you qualify to claim a forum compaion. Just link to where you've posted your prompt fills to claim your prize! If you're feeling ambitious, you could instead complete four prompts for a four-corners win.

You can complete this challenge using the strict definition of "drabble" (exactly 100 words), but that's not required for this event: any fill of at least one hundred words counts as a drabble. Go as long as you like! Prefer visual art to writing? Three sketches based on your prompts will qualify you for a bingo as well!

If you absolutely hate the prompts you get after making your request, you may ask for one reroll. I'll provide you with a new card, but that'll be the one you're stuck with--no further rerolls will be given.

You have until the end of the anniversary (countdown here) to complete your fills and claim your bingo. Note that you get a forum companion if you complete either the reviewing event or drabble bingo--completing both won't net you two!

Many thanks to Goolix, rimly, and wildboots for their help putting together Bingo cards this year! You're a huge help!

Okay, here we go.
For this year, I'm gonna go for something set in PMD. Could write a battle where the power of friendship shines through and that could trigger either an evolution or Mega-Evolution.

 

[Nekodatta]

Here I am for another year of drabbles. I asked for Paldea themed drabbles, then for Arven themed ones, this year the logical conclusion is "Area Zero"
(I'm very predictable)

 

[canisaries]

This may be an unusual and maybe hard to explain theme, but I'd like a bingo card themed around Pokemon types. Predominantly existing ones, of course, but I won't protest a cheeky fake type prompt in there - I'm sure I can make it work. I'd like for the prompts to imply something about the Pokemon of that type, like dragons being proud and hard to train or fire types being hot to the touch. It can be surface level, but something less obvious is also good. Thanks!

 

[System Error]

Let's step forward and do a Drablackout bingo fic once more. I again invite people to join me: take your nine fills and write a oneshot encompassing all of them.

As usual, no PMD for me.

 

[zion of arcadia]

I’ll give this a try, I’ve been wanting an excuse to write more short form stuff. I’ll just stick to PMD.

 

[StellarWind]

Ah, what the heck. I had fun with this one last year, I think I'd like to try it again this one.

Like last time, no PMD please, but otherwise I don't have a particular theme in mind. ^^

 

[Inkedust]

You know the Vibes. Requesting a card based on Pokopia.

 

[Negrek]

All right, let's get started! Two to kick things off.

Hanafuda

PMD card? No problem!

A Trap!	Gummi	The Partner's Tears
Awakening Emera	All-Out Rampage	Dark Matter
Gone Pebble	Waterfall Pond	Magnagate

Nekodatta

No problem being predictable when you have fine taste! I hope you enjoy these prompts.

Poké Ball Lock	Paradise Protection Protocol	Paradox
Stellar Tera	Underdepths	Research Log
Area Zero Expedition	Zero Gate	Your Greatest Treasure

 

[WildBoots]

Types for @canisaries -

The Long Memory of Ghosts	Blunt as a Fist	The Hunger of a Locust
Still Waters Run Deep	Patient as Poison	Overthinking the Future
Shy as a Shadow at Noon	Dangerously Bored Fae	Uncompromising Iron

Trainer-centric for @System Error -

Urban Legend	Unusual Training Methods	Odd Jobs
A Hidden Clearing	Pick-Pocket	Throwing A Match
A New Move	Final Badge	Rise To The Challenge

Hope they work for you both!

 

[Dragonfree]

I had a good time requesting a Hurt and Comfort card last year, so why not try that again!

 

[Phoenixsong]

I had wanted to work on pokédex mini more often this year, and did really well in January/okay in February before falling off. Probably won't be able to get back to the regularity I wanted, but at least I can use this as an excuse to get a few more done hopefully-soonish, yeah?

So! Just like last year, make me write more pokédex mini drabbles, please! Any pokémon I haven't already finished will do, but rather than make you trawl through what I've already done I've shortlisted some that you can pick from (or just randomize) as you please:

Spoiler: list of guys what need 100 words wrote about them

Charizard, Blastoise, Pidgeot, Weedle, Rattata, Arbok, Vulpix, Arcanine, Weepinbell, Victreebel, Gengar, Exeggcute, Exeggutor, Rhyhorn, Horsea, Seadra, Lapras, Vaporeon, Aerodactyl, Snorlax, Dratini, Dragonair, Dragonite, Mewtwo, Marill, Azumarill, Espeon, Kingdra, Lugia, Torchic, Combusken, Blaziken, Mightyena, Aron, Lairon, Aggron, Whiscash, Walrein, Shieldon, Shaymin, Skrelp, Dragalge, Phantump, Grubbin, Vikavolt, Araquanid, Sizzlipede, Polteageist, Kilowattrel, Naclstack, Scovillain, Dolliv, Rellor, Klawf, Miraidon

Just the names are fine, or you can come up with more specific prompts involving your chosen species if you want! (For the Paldean ones at the end, if you prefer, you can just say "finish the prompt from the last bingo card this was on you coward" to make me do more from the bingo I did a few years ago, lol.)

Looking good! Congrats on being the first person to turn their card in this year.

 

[Flyg0n]

Kinda torn what to ask for. Torn between stretching my proverbial writing skills with like... Legendary stuff? Or doing something classic. But I'm thinking I'm in the mood for angst/hurt/comfort ultimately please! Thank youu

 

[Hanafuda]

Looking good! Congrats on being the first person to turn their card in this year.

Yay! If this means I'll get my new companion, then I'd like... Quaquaval.

 

[Negrek]

Companion claims go in the main event thread--I'll be fulfilling them at the end of the event.

 

[HelloYellow17]

Hi hello! Requesting a card based on Orre, Found Family, and/or Hurt/Comfort! I am nothing if not consistent. 😂

 

[Shiny Phantump]

I'd like to request some more ghosts this year. Not legends/mythicals/UBS, and since I already did Spiritomb, Yamask, and H-Zoroark I'll ask not to repeat those ones please! Thank you to everyone making cards again this year!

 

[Spiteful Murkrow]

Heya, going to take a tack from last year and do a card where I'll be asking for picking song titles from a list. Those of you following what I've been up to lately already know where I'm going with this, but I figured that I'd let there be some degree of chance in determining what to work on for this Drabble Bingo.

Anyhow, this year's song pool that I'd like my card drawn from:

Spoiler: Tracklist

Night Fever
Night of the Tiger
Love is in Danger
Lost into the Night
24 Hours a Day With You
You Take Me to the Top
Bach is Back
Break In2 the Nite
Don’t Stand So Close
Wanna Fly to Be Wild
