New Challenge: Potluck Bingo

You are invited to a potluck hosted by the SWG community! Just like potluck meals allow participants to bring their favorite recipes cooked up with a personal flair, our new challenge, Potluck Bingo, features prompts served on bingo boards created by—you! the members and friends of the SWG!

You are free to play any board—you are not required to play your own. You may also play as many boards as you want. And of course, you’re free to combine prompts from different boards.

We will not be pulling numbers—there is no daily prompt. Pick your board, and see what prompt(s) on the board spark something.

Commenters, you’re not left out of the bingo fun. There will be a few comment challenge boards to play. (Possibly more than a few if our boardmakers decide to run with it …)

As there will be many different boards in play, both creators and commenters will need to notify the mods when stamps are needed for bingo (horizontal, vertical, diagonal, or card blackout). You can reach us on Tumblr, DW, Discord, or using the contact form. We will have a special stamp for anyone who plays multiple boards. There will NOT be a stamp for playing all boards, as past experience suggests there could be quite a few.

As is tradition, the last challenge of the year runs for two months, from November 15 through Janaury 15. If you want to receive a stamp for your fanwork, you should have it posted to the site by January 15, 2025. (However, note that the January challenge, which will begin on January 1, is always an amnesty month, so technically you can receive stamps for this final challenge through February 15, 2025!)

If you want to make a bingo card (or cards) to bring to the party, note that we are accepting new cards throughout the challenge.

Potluck Bingo cards, challenge guidelines (including directions and templates for making bingo cards), and fanworks are here, and guidelines for SWG challenges overall are here.
