And this is what I’m going to do:
Pick a square, and give me a prompt with that as a theme. I.e., Promises Broken, Junie and her teacher.
First prompt will get written; after that I’m going to go for a Bingo, so prompts that are within a line of the first prompt are more likely to get written.
Squares that have been prompted to will be [bolded and bracketed]; squares that have been written will have a link. Please feel free to prompt any square, even those filled.
First Bingo will be posted free.
Go!

Now & Then: Aud and Sage
Square: evening the odds prompt: feu drake naked Did I do that right?? Never did quite understand this bingo thing when you combine it with writing stuff. …yes, you may have triggered something with the first post.
exactly right!
I managed to not actually get him naked, sigh… http://aldersprig.dreamwidth.org/658304.html
change of pace, eating together
Magic: Aunts ‘verse: formal, informal, or intuitive learning thereof.
Under Pressure: Jin planning for the future. (Is it okay if I add ~1 prompt/day if the grid isn’t full yet?)
Sure ;-D
Taking a chance: Genique initiating interactions shipboard. (Hurry up, everyone else, or I will FILL THE BOARD! Muahaha.)
Wow, totally thought I’d written this already. Well, it’s up to be written next!
Promises broken: The Planners, conflicting obligations
Pick Anything: the back-burnered “to be continued …” that you most want to get back to.
That was hard! http://aldersprig.dreamwidth.org/647129.html
I, err, umm … am not particularly sorry that there’s more of Eva and Robbie? But, umm, moar? 🙂
😀
Lost and found: Fairy Town, Father Nehemiah
Parents: Aunts ‘verse: intergenerational priority differences.
the next best thing: Junie
*grins at you*
<vast curiosity> Hrm. That was a less-than-24-hour delay. Have to be more careful about that.
Only 5 days left in the year anyway…
Other people may still hop in, too. ‘twould not be nice of me to crowd them out.
okay, ’tis fair.
Sports&games: Stranded: (some of) the seasonal siblings hanging out together doing something fun. (Alternate, because I’m indecisive: Sports&games: Dragons Next Door: playground)
anniversary: unicorn/factory: of going down to the river
Anniversary! http://aldersprig.dreamwidth.org/680727.html

Forgiving: Dragons Next Door: childhood slights or grudges Thank you for the tasty bingo card!
Glad you had fun! Shall I try this again next month, d’you think?
Did you enjoy it? Was it a useful prompt call? How was it better or worse than other styles of prompt call, for you?
It was a lot of fun, at the very least. It brought in very little $ – $4 – so i may try a slightly different method of $$ next time.
My impression (which may be wildly off) was that usually most of the money on giraffe calls was on (discounted) comissions and continuations, which weren’t an option this time?
Hrrm, you have a point. Thinking of shifting back to that for January. I.e., I’ll write at least one Bingo. If you donate, I will write at least two of your prompts; I’ll also write $X110 words of your choice.
That’d make it a lot more like your past giraffe calls for donors, while keeping the number of unsponsored prompts you’re committed to down to a fixed level. That seems reasonable? I don’t watch many crowdfunders at work, so I don’t have much data on what does or doesn’t work in general, or much sense of when/whether what works for one person might work for another.
<pokes> I am curious about the coding for the bingo square. There are three squares in italics, which I think means “multiple prompts”, but I can only find two prompts for one of them (lost+found).
The other two were double-prompted on Twitter (from @anke to @thornewrites) at my request when someone wanted to see the left-to-right diagonal.
