January Bingo Card and Prompt Call

[lilfluff]

It was nigh inevitable, I've generated a bingo card using the bingo card generator I posted about earlier today (link found via ysabetwordsmith's post yesterday. I selected multiple of the pre-supplied lists and tossed in a list of my own.

I'll go ahead and stealborrow (with a little modification) some of aldersprig's bingo methodology here.

• Pick a square and offer me a prompt based on that square. For example: "Forgotten: a student arriving for boarding school finds his name isn't on the list," could have been a prompt to produce Thomas Daniel.


• I will write at least 100 words to the first prompt.


• This is a bingo card, so prompts in the same row/column as previously written prompts will have an advantage. But an enticing prompt will likely catch my attention anywhere.


• I don't guarantee a full scene/story, only 100 words. That said, I've found I rarely stay at a mere 100 words if something interests me. (Are you a stranger who isn't sure what I'm interested in? Check my writing tag, or any of the tags.)


• Requests for fanfiction of TV dramas are likely to draw blank looks. It's been quite a few years since I watched much. Actually any fanfic in general unless you know I'm into the original. Requests for my own settings, or settings I've already written in will likely have an advantage in being chosen.


• I'll write up to at least the first bingo.


• Squares that have received a prompt will be given brackets and bold text. If more than one prompt the text will also be italicized. When a result is posted a link will be added.


• If for some reason I decide I want no more prompts to a square I will apply a stroke/cross-out to the text.

Telepathy: A problematic instruction made even worse with telepathy.

Prompts

[ysabetwordsmith]

Bureaucracy: artificial intelligence character is a red tape ninja.

Doorstep Baby: that can't be dispensed with at the end of the episode so the characters can go back to their ordinary lives; it's permanent.

Hedge Maze: a meditation on how to use maze walking or gazing to relax.

[perfectworry]

looking for something lost: something you didn't know was lost until you found it again, could be a literal or metaphorical "something."

Story link: How'd That Happen?

I had no idea where this would go until I brought up the blank page and started. I rather like where it went.

Story written to your Bureaucracy prompt: The Second Option

[lilfluff]

Not In The Job Description

Darn that mad science, always making for awkward workplaces. :)

[aldersprig]

Family Ties: Addergoole or Tír na Cali - an unexpected family tie crossing generations

[aldersprig]

Woah, I just noticed slavery... :-D

15 minutes of fame: When it fades, is it a relief?

Experiment: Of course they used human subjects. You can pick them up ten for a buck at [], and what else would you use?

[lilfluff]

Experimental Subjects written to your Experiment prompt, and following up Not In The Job Description.

Forgot to leave a note, there was a response written to your second prompt, Currently untitled.

Discrimination: used in the sense of 'recognizing and understanding the difference between one thing and another', where the USE of the word "discrimination" is positive, (but listener's reactions to the word are up to you).

Power and Corruption: Power in the physical sense, like electricity or magnetic forces-- what 'corrupts' them, and can /that/ be harnessed as an alternative energy source? At what cost to the users? (including metaphysical costs...)

Re: prompts

[lilfluff]

Once again a prompt sends me a different direction than I expected. I don't think it's quite what was asked for with the Discrimination prompt but it's where it lead.

Discrimination

Hedge maze - a school holiday outing goes...sideways.

Captive: Just because you've captured someone doesn't mean you have to be unpleasant about it.

Alternatively: No, seriously, you can go now...

Captive Thief

The "Alternatively" may lead to a followup eventually.
