Potluck Bingo

SWG Potluck Bingo challenge banner - photo of a slate cutting board with the chalk text "Potluck Bingo SWG Challenge Nov 15 2024- Jan 15 2025"

As the year draws to a close, we gather with friends and share memories and gifts and, of course, a good meal. And there’s nothing like a potluck to make sure there’s something for everyone! 

For our last challenge of 2024, we’re offering Potluck Bingo. We hope to have a smorgasbord of bingo cards made by you prompting a delectable spread of fanworks, with something to suit all tastes. (The mods will contribute a few boards to get things started. But as with any potluck, the more, the merrier!)

Board Making & Submission (Begins November 1)

Templates are available to make it as simple as possible to create a board:

Canva

PSD

Text-only prompt list

You may submit as many boards as you choose, and there is no deadline aside from the challenge deadline of January 15. There is no restriction on board themes.

If you don’t have time to make a board, we also have a form open from November 1 - 8 to submit prompts that someone else can turn into a board. Form submissions are limited to 1 per person. (You are also free to team up and collaborate with other SWG members directly.) The window to submit prompts through the form isn’t very long, but that’s to give the boardmakers sufficient time to work their magic.

Prompt sets submitted through the form will be available for potential boardmakers to view and pick from. If you are interested, let the mods know and we will share the link where you can view the form submissions and claim a prompt set to make a board for.

Boardmakers, we ask that you do the following:

  • If you choose to make a board from scratch rather than use the templates, please keep the dimensions roughly 575 x 865 pixels, with a portrait orientation.
  • Submit a plain text list of the prompts along with your board—we provide a text-only version for every board for accessibility. (There is a text-only prompt list template also. Note that links, hexadecimal color codes, etc can be given as part of the text!)
  • If submitting a NSFW board,  let the mods know so we can mark it appropriately.
  • Finished boards should be submitted to moderator@silmarillionwritersguild.org

Bingo

Play begins November 15, when all boards received up to that date will be available on the challenge page. After November 15, we will continue to add boards as they are submitted. 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.
