Third Anniversary Drabble Bingo

Third Anniversary Drabble Bingo​

We've had a bit of time for reviewing; now it's time to kick off our writing event! The people have spoken, and drabble bingo will return for another year. The premise is simple: post in this thread saying that you'd like a bingo card and, optionally, what you'd like that card's theme to be, and then one of our bingo volunteers will generate a card with nine short prompts for you. 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. We'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!

Currently Negrek and SparklingEspeon are giving out bingo cards. If you'd like to volunteer to generate some, we'd love to have you!

I would love to have a bingo card! Since I've never done this and head empty, I'll take a themeless and see what comes of it

 

[RJR Basimilus]

Oh! I'd like one too! I don't have any preferences, I'll take anything I get! Thanks for putting this on again!

 

[windskull]

I'm gonna try to do this! Hm... theme for this year... Let's try "Pokemon not often used in fanfic." If that happens to be an issue, I'll accept "Normal type" as an alternate.

 

[canisaries]

gimme one with ghost type things!!! im now the ghost type person!!!

 

[Inkedust]

Gib card with PMD - specifically the "Mystery Dungeon" part - pls.

 

[Hanafuda]

Oh man, there are so many ideas I want to write about. I like crossovers, Flying-type Pokémon and describing the physical changes that Pokémon go through during evolution, kinda like those transformation sequences you’d see in sites like FurAffinity or DeviantArt. Are there prompts for what I mentioned?

 

[The Walrein]

I'll sign up for this again. For my theme, could I have "Pokemon rarely seen in fanfic", please?

 

[seatherny]

hit me <3 theme: ANGST

 

[Negrek]

I'm trading off cards with Espy in sets of three--and I actually got assigned the second set! Espy will hit up the first three respondents in a bit. Here are cards for my group:

@canisaries

Silph Scope	Lost Tower	Scratching in the Dark
Blackest Midnight Wanderings	A Sudden Chill	Possessed Object
Threadbare Disguise	Soul-Stealing Glimpse	Unfinished Business

Kangaskhan's Statue	Meowth in Black	A New Recruit
Buried Ruin	The Secret Bazaar	The Deepest Floor
A Sticky Trap!	Something's Stirring...	Growing Hunger

@Hanafuda

You mentioned three things you like, so I tried to give you three of each.

Pokémon x League of Legends	Flying Feathers	Universes Collide
Costume Change	Supersonic Skystrike	Tornadus' Ultimate Form!
Pokémon x Dragon Ball	Sharp Beak	Morning Birdsong

 

[IFBench]

I'd like to sign up! Could I have "Canon PMD things" as my theme?

 

[SparklingEspeon]

Alright, here's the set for the first three of you, fashionably late. For those of you who wanted themeless cards, I went for prompts vague enough to apply to anything. Hope you all have fun!

@bluesidra

A Journey's First Steps​	Last Day​	I Have to Go Now​
Rest and Relaxation​	Mega Stone​	Fireside Melody​
It's a Trap!​	Trouble Ahead...​	The Ugly Ducklett​

@RJR Basimilus

​

Pokedex Troubles​	Rival Battle​	Mysterious Hauntings​
Shooting the Breeze​	On the Run​	Pier at Sunset​
When Miltank Fly​	Partner​	Wilderness Trials​

@windskull

You requested a pokemon theme, so I gave you a list of half unusual pokemon, half unusual prompts!

Icy​	Inkay​	A Strange Cuteness​
Stufful​	Little Trouble in the Big City​	Gastradon​
Very Ancient​	Politoed​	From the Darkness​

[Sinderella]

GIVE! ME! SOME! ANGST!

 

[Panoramic_Vacuum]

Still sad I missed out on the Hoenn zine, so I'll my make own zine of Hoenn drabbles. with blackjack and hookers
A Hoenn themed card would be lovely!

 

[Hanafuda]

Okay, I did my thing. I might’ve rushed it, but I’ll appreciate any feedback. Also, do I have to not tell which prompts I used? I tried to show them as best I could without telling.

 

[AbraPunk]

Alright, I'll give this a shot!

for theme...... hmm, how about something simple: "pokemon pov"? (nothing to do with humans, please)

 

[Flyg0n]

Maybe I'll try this? Hopefully I can get creative juices flowing

Can I have 'Whump & peril' or something along those lines for a prompt?

 

[Negrek]

My next set of three!

@IFBench

Bidoof's Wish	The Dark Future	World Tree
Voice of Life	Meeting at Spinda's Cafe	Connection Orb
Team ACT	Bittercold	Gone Pebble

@kyeugh

'Celestica' they called themselves, the name not theirs to take.	Saffron Dojo Falls	Rayquaza Grants a Wish
Firing the Ultimate Weapon	A young man, callow and foolish in innocence, came to own a sword.	The New Boss is Giovanni
N Crowned King	The empty sky cracked asunder.	Calyrex Revitalizes the Tundra

@Sinderella

Blood, Sweat, and Tears	Cold	They Can Never Know
Old Shame	Brooding Weather	Treading Water
Sleepless	Dark Night of the Soul	Alone with Yourself

@Hanafuda

Looking good! No need to say what prompts you used--I think I've got it figured out. ;) It's always fun to bring characters from different universes together, and Hoopa's a very natural way to do that! I can tell you like your transformation sequences, too; your description on that part definitely stood out. I do wish this had a little more of an ending, though. I know it's a "prelude," but at the moment it feels like the story just kind of cuts off before the two are about to fight. A little more closure would have really made this one for me. That aside, congrats on being the first person to complete the challenge!

 

[Hanafuda]

Oh, it’s kinda incomplete because I wanted it to be a filler of sorts for the final saga of a crossover series I wanna write in the future once I have more experience. If you’re interested, I can talk about it, maybe in a different thread.
