hurt/comfort bingo

Hi everyone! Welcome to Round 11 of Hurt/Comfort Bingo!

We are very grateful to everyone keeping this community alive! Whether you make content, leave feedback, participate in discussions, or simply you lurk, we appreciate your presence here. If you're new to the Hurt/Comfort Bingo experience, welcome! You are always free to PM the mod if you have any questions.

We're looking forward to seeing new participants, new fandoms, new types of fanworks this year. We’ve considered your lovely feedback and decided to keep the comm rolling as it was, with some minor adjustment you’ll find in the rules.

Without further ado, let's get started with Round 11! This is your sign-up post. Leave a comment, receive a card!

Please read the Rules, FAQ and Bingos, Extras and Achievement posts first.

There's no penalty for not posting anything in Round 10. Round 11 is open for everybody!



Leave a comment to this post under the name you wish to post as to get your bingo card and a code to post it to your journal. Due to the possible triggering nature of the prompts themselves, the card code already contains the lj-cut code; you can change the cut text to suit you.

If you haven’t gotten your card within 24 hours after commenting, please drop us an additional comment or a PM! Sometimes notifications get lost in email. And, even more important: if you got a vetoed prompt on your card, please tell us! It's always a mistake and we always want to fix it for you.

If you want your card with the white background, remove background="LINK" from your code.

To have your card display properly, you need to copy/paste its code directly from the comment itself, and not from your e-mail. Use the HTML editor when posting.

If you have any problems with your code, please send a message to hc_bingo_mod and we’ll try to help you out.

Important: Some hurt/comfort prompts can be potentially triggering. Please read through the list of prompts before requesting a card.

You can veto up to three prompts (or types of prompts) that would be triggery/uncomfortable for you to write about. Additionally, you can ask for a sex-free card - this will leave off all prompts that deal with questions of consent or sexual contact. If you need more than three prompts veto'd, please contact the mods by PM or e-mail and we will work with you to make sure you have a suitable card.


Remember, you can sign up here or on DW, but not at both places at once, since both communities mirror each other.

Round 11 card backgrounds are patterns Feel The Breeze and Dutch Delight.

There are multiple ways of making a bingo, each one requiring a minimum of 5 filled squares.

The minimum requirements for a fill are:

Fic - 500 words
Art - medium sized (at least 320x240)
Icons - set of 10
Rec post - 10 recs (any combination of fandoms) with a short explanation for each
Podfic - 500 word fic
Picspam - 20 pics
Vids - 30 seconds
Mix - 10 songs with tracklist and explanation included (the songs itself can be arranged into one playlist, a-la Spotify)
Meta - 1000 words

( Bingos )

After you've made a bingo, you can make a new bingo on your card or request a new card to complete bingo on. You may also do extras using your original card! And as of Round 10, you can post extras without submitting a bingo first. But remember that writing extras only qualifies you for extras-related achievements.

( Extras )

Each type of bingo and each type of extra bring you a separate banner on posting to the comm.

All bingos and extras within one card let you qualify for achievements.

Frequently Asked Questions

These are short answers to questions we frequently get. Please read the Round 11 Rules for more information.

Dear players, the Amnesty period is over! We're putting the finishing touches on Round 11's sign ups and will go live soon - probably less than an hour or so. If you have some last bits and pieces for the Amnesty, you might sneak them under the wire while we're working.

Looking forward to seeing you in Round 11!

Thanks everybody for playing! Amnesty period is still going; it will close down on June, 10th. If you have made something for the bingo and haven't shared it yet - be it something for round 10, or for previous rounds, or for one of the challenges that you didn't finish on time - share it with us now, please.

Somewhere between June, 10th and June, 15th we're going to open up Round 11! We're looking forward to journeying on with you all.

Dear players, hello! Hard to believe it, but we're almost done with spring in general and Round 11 in particular - where did the time go?

And so, welcome to the traditional feedback post:

General:
- any prompts you'd like to see retired?
- and new prompts you'd like to offer?
- any rules you'd like to see changed or tweaked?

A question about tags:
Okay, time for a fair confession: neither of the mods is up to keeping the tag tree in order, especially wrt adding new fandom tags, pruning unused prompts tags et cetera. Would you rather we left everything as is, or opened the tag creating and editing to the users, so you could not just use pre-existing tags, but add new ones?

(As always, we're listening to all the suggestions very carefully, but don't guarantee that they will be fulfilled in this round.)

And your enjoyment feedback: How was your experience this round? Did you enjoy yourself? Did you write something you were particularly fond of? Did somebody post a fill that you enjoyed immensely? Share with us!

Thank you for playing with us! Here's to having another successful year.
