b2memsupportAre you making any?
Have you submitted prompts for any?
Are you thinking about which cards you will claim when the time comes?

Yes. Because of the ten card limit, making cards allowed me to placate my hedonistic creativity in this fandom. I managed to get 13 of the 14 I planned to get done sent in on time. I also created a (if I do say so myself) super easy to use template on Publisher for Bingo Cards. So now, I'm really dangerous with this bingo thing...
Have you submitted prompts for any?
Nope. As painful as it was to suffer through the 'making these pretty' part of the process, I was determined to do them myself. Next time (oh, yeah, I'm already looking forward to like, five or six years from now when this happens again...don't judge...) I will need to poke around for another artist or two to work with for the prettification committee >.> So, that said, there's one card I will apologize up front for the lack of prettification. I tried. I had chibis provided to me that I didn't manage to color in time. Which reminds me... I still have someone's chibis to finish coloring...
Are you thinking about which cards you will claim when the time comes?
Oh, no, not yet. I barely looked at them except to glance at what was already done before I turned in mine. I'm on step four of my thirty-two step bingo plan, which is, gather the supplies needed for bingoing. Because I don't do this halfway or three-quarterway or fifteensixteethsway.
Every time I've done one of these bingo things (and I've participated in three now, one here, and two others elsewhere), I have a kit I put together. It has a bingo book to keep track of all of the combinations and write notes, some sort of carrying thing to keep all of the supplies, fancy writing implements, at least one plushie, folders, notebooks and notepads of varying colors, notecards for the plotted out ideas and so on.
Since I suck at Dreamwidthing, and I can't figure out if I can even add images here, or I would, I am going to post some somewhere and then I'll edit a link in if I can or something. Because I'm pretty proud of the extent of the bingo-ing. (Oh! And after the month was over, I had a bingo game I had purchased, a fancy one with the spinning thing for picking the balls, and I kept up with going through the other prompts into April. Because reasons.) I also had the cards posted on the wall of my office so that I could muse about connections and plots ahead of time subconsciously before numbers were called.
Let's face it, I'm the bingo person with 18 different colored daubers and a 'regular seat' in the church basement, who sets up their trinkets on the table and knows the callers by nickname and shows up every week, even when it's snowing.
Since we can only pick ten, this means I can print them in color and not feel like I'm wasting ink. Fortunately, since we can only pick ten, this means I shouldn't have such a backlog to type up this time.
Because... I still have some that are just handwritten and not typed up yet, including a really cute Fingon/Maedhros story from a time when I didn't really like that pairing...
I wrote that one in a hotel lobby.
Alright. Time to take some pics of the previous bingo kit...
