hi, I'm alive. I don't have much else to say, so here's something else.

I got a

longfic_bingo card. This was possibly dumb, as 5k and over stories are really rare for me. Seriously, there is one on my Ao3 and it's about four years old at least. But I want to try and write longer things, so. We'll see.

Card under the cut. Throw me prompts or squares you'd like to see me do, if you want. Fandoms here. Original also counts so throw me that too if you've got it.

Also I screwed with the table. I didn't like the background. ~~I currently don't like the lack of borders but too tired and too unaware of HTML to fix.~~ ETA: I snagged the genprompt bingo table and keyed my prompts in. Because I like borders. So that's fixed.

Historical event changed	Unexpected ally	Fusion - any	Secret identity	Roleplaying
Crossover / Fusion – TV series	Amnesia	Holiday	Coffee shop	Hypothermia
Hazing	Homelessness	Wild Card	Band!fic	In Space
Addiction	Fantasy world	Matchmaking	Office/workplace	Military
Pretend relationship	Toys	Torture	War	Pining

Notes and potentials:
Band!fic would be an excuse to do more in the space for you always in my harmony verse.
Fantasy world may be spun for the Cecil/Carlos breakup fic that I can no longer entirely see writing canonically but still want out of my head.
Alternately, fantasy world, pining, secret identity, or unexpected ally could all be spun for the Tom's-fan-turns-into-a-wizard YW fic I always wanted to write.
Homelessness, unexpected ally, maybe fantasy world for the tiny!Luna Toby Daye fic I want.

I can send you the code for my tables from origi-fic bingo and replace the prompts with your prompts, if you like? It gives you borders without any background.

Also, I'm really, really glad you're alive. *hugs*

I'm good? I'm probably going to do it myself with one of my other bingo cards, I was just reaaaally tired at the time. I am less tired now, so.

*cuddles* Thank you, dear. <3

Hello! Glad to see you're still alive.

Sounds like an interesting bingo challenge, too. I'm good at longfic. I might go take a look myself.

Hello! :D

I hope it works for you! I like the prompt setup a lot, even if I'm not too hot on every single prompt? And I could use the motivation to write more per story. 1000 words and less is just so much easier for me.

Yeah, I really love the prompt list, it's a good mix of AU, h/c, and kink prompts, which suits me just fine. :D Particularly because I am often writing longfic for other bingos, so I won't feel so bad about writing a 45k fill for a single square for this one. XD

I've already got my trope bingo card, and I'll be signing up for kink bingo, and probably h/c bingo as well, so I can use those cards for my shorter fill ideas, and concentrate on using up all my longfic ideas, particularly because the challenge is open-ended. And everything ends up nicely balanced.

Do all the bingos! I can't even remember what bingos I have that are currently active, besides genprompt. I know if I don't post by the end of amnesty I'm out of kink bingo this round, but considering I've still yet to make a line in the past couple of years of signing up, I may just let that slide. The others I need to see if I'm eligible or not.

I should really make a proper organizational thing, organizing things is just hard. XD

But anyway, that is kind of awesome. The being able to write 45k things off a bingo square. I envy people with that ability to pull a lengthy story out. Plot is my downfall, even the quiet kind. I just want to write tiny slice of life things forever, it's kind of a problem.

Woo, bingos! *hugs them all* I won't sign up for them all, though. I know my limits. XD

But organising things is so much fun! :D :D :D

Yeah, well, I don't do it all the time, but well, it helps when you have someone who's willing to angst and grieve and pine and Not Move On for years because their crush ~disappeared~ and it's just ~terrible~ and his wife left him with a baby and he's Just Not Coping being gay and single and and and. ...I got a lot of value out of that fic, oh yeah. XD

I had to practice for years to get this good at longfic though. I used to think 10k was SUCH A LONG FIC OMG. So there's hope for you yet! :D

That's always good. XD I applaud your sensibleness.

I go so back and forth between 'ORGANIZING IS AWESOME AND I WILL ORGANIZE EVERYTHING. EVEN OTHER PEOPLE'S THINGS.' and 'oh god how do you make things make sense'. I am somewhere more towards the first right now though, so I actually just made a comm so that I can organize as I'd like without spamming the hell out of my journal. We'll see how it goes. XD

Yeaaaaaaaah, this makes sense. XD I have a few idea that I think could go that way, it's just a matter of finding the words for it. I think I acutally used to do longer things when I wrote by hand, amusingly enough, something like ten years ago. Only by a couple of thousand words, but, y'know, that's compared to the 800-1k that I tend to settle out now, so. *shrugs* Here's hoping though!

I'd never get anything done if I signed up for them all. XD

Hee. Yes, some things are more fun to organise than others. Such is life, I guess. Writing is always fun to organise, though, even if occasionally frustrating. XD

Yeah, I love it. There was. So. Much. Angst. XD Well, you could try drafting on paper then before you type it up? Maybe it'd help you get back into the swing of writing longer stories again?
