Comment Bingo Sign Ups

If any of you call merlin_writers your other home, you may have seen this event running a couple of months ago over there.  Well, SURPRISE!!!
COMMENT BINGO IS NOW COMING TO HD_WRITERS!

THIS IS YOUR SIGN UP POST!!

What is it?
Comment bingo is exactly what it sounds like! Once you sign up you'll be given a group number: 1, 2 or 3 (see 'opt in' section below for details on card 3). On 1st June the starting post will go up with all three bingo cards and useful links for you to use. And all you have to do is leave some love around the fandom! Comment on art or fic, podfic or poetry – whatever you like, wherever you like, as long as it crosses off one of your bingo squares and isn't anonymous.

Make sure you keep your links handy wherever you comment because to win the prize you'll need a list of links for a completed bingo card!!!

When is it?
Sign-ups will be open from now until the end of Friday 30th May, GMT. And the time limit for you to complete your card will be the entire month of June.

An awesome prize banner is up for grabs for one person in each group – the first person to yell “BINGO!!” and list their links as a comment on the starting post. Two secret banner prizes are also up for grabs. But it wouldn't be much of a secret if I told you how to win them, would it?

AND HAVE FUN!! You're reading some awesome fic, seeing some amazing art. Commenting is sending love to the incredibly talented creator! It's not a chore!

Opt IN Adult Card
This time through, an adult card will be available - card 3.  However!  As we are NOT an over 18s only comm you must OPT IN if you wish to be put into this draw.  I'm not saying you'll absolutely get it this time around but you might.  These squares will not contain any possible squicks, they will be more like 'M-rated' or a more general 'kink' square.

I'm In!  How do I sign up?
Great!  All you need to do is leave a comment below.  That's literally it.  Make sure you give me your adult card status too otherwise I'll assume you're not 18!

Questions?  Feel free to ask below.

Notes: If only a small number of people wish to take part, the groups may be subject to change.  Additionally, while I encourage you to leave extra love around, please DO NOT complete more than your assigned card as the comment bingo event may rerun and the same cards may be rotated to different people.

Welcome to the love fest :D

You're card 3.

[sassy_cat]

I'm all for positive things like this, so add me to the list. :) I'll opt in for the adult card as well.

[darkravenwrote.livejournal.com]

Thanks again for the promotion :D

You're card 2.

I'd love to sign up but am not sure what i am getting myself into. How many bingo fields do I have to fill? Could you give an example of what kind of fields they will be? (other than the adult version)

[darkravenwrote.livejournal.com]

Hey :D

I can indeed give you an example as I've already run it over on merlin_writers. If you go take a look here (http://merlin-writers.livejournal.com/78600.html), this is what the starting post looked like with the three cards. Obviously some of it is tailored for the merlin fandom and those will be replaced but you get the gist.

Hope this helps and you can join us

This does help indeed. So 12 bingo squares. :D I think I can do that. Thank you so much.

Please sign me up, and I am opting in for the adult card.

[darkravenwrote.livejournal.com]

Welcome :D You're card 1.

[darkravenwrote.livejournal.com]

Welcome :D You'll be card 1.

[darkravenwrote.livejournal.com]

HI!!! You're card 3!

[darkravenwrote.livejournal.com]

Yes! That's absolutely alright :) I'll change you on my list! Just make sure when you fill out your completed card and leave it for me with the links (dw there will be info on what you have to do in the starting post) you let me know any usernames that are different on other sites you've used :D

[this-bloody-cat.livejournal.com]

Thank you! :D 'This Bloody Cat' is my name everywhere else, which is why I wanted to have it here too. I figured it'd be less confusing in the long run :)

[darkravenwrote.livejournal.com]

Gotcha :D That's all great, makes my life easier too :p

Also, MAXXIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE if I'm not mistaken?

[this-bloody-cat.livejournal.com]

Yesss!!! ♥ He's on all my icons, I think I might be obsessed :'D

[digthewriter]

Do we make our own cards or do you give cards?
I didnt participate in merlin b/c I was scared and I didn't understand the rules.

[darkravenwrote.livejournal.com]

Haha, no worries. Nope, you're given a card. If you wanted to take a peek at the merlin one so you know what you're getting yourself into, it's here (http://merlin-writers.livejournal.com/78600.html).

Somehow it went off without a hitch and I swear it isn't too complicated. I'm always here for questions if you need me :D Would you like to enter?

[digthewriter]

Yes I'll sign up.

Are there teams.

Yeah...I should read the rules.

[darkravenwrote.livejournal.com]

Pats head. Go read them. Well there are sort of in that multiple people get the same card and only one of you can be the first to complete it and get the prize.

The starting post will detail the nitty gritty.

GO READ THEM

[darkravenwrote.livejournal.com]

You're card 2 by the way, lol, sorry, forgot the important bit!

[gracerene]

Sounds fun, I'm in! And I'll opt in for the adult card as well :)

[darkravenwrote.livejournal.com]

Welcome :D You're card 2.

[starduchess.livejournal.com]

Sure, I love giving comments! Count me in, including the adult card. I'll probably read those anyway. ;)

[darkravenwrote.livejournal.com]

Cooool. You got card 3.

I was expecting 95% of people to opt in, the other 5% having forgotten they need to say, but the other mods and I need to legally protect the comm :D

Have fun!!!

[bloodisshrp.livejournal.com]

My name is bloodisshrp and I'm addicted to bingos! So sign me up too! :D

And yes, I would like to opt in for the adult card.

[darkravenwrote.livejournal.com]

Hellooooooo! I absolutely remember you from the wizarding games event :D You're card 2 this time.

[anemonen.livejournal.com]

Sign me up too! I'd like to opt in for the adult card :)

[darkravenwrote.livejournal.com]

Welcome on board! You're card 1

[daleah.livejournal.com]

I'm in :* Adult card, please <3

[darkravenwrote.livejournal.com]

The force is with you! You've drawn card 3 - lucky you!

Have fun!

[smallbrownfrog.livejournal.com]

Cool idea. Should I assume this is all HP and all H/D commenting?

[darkravenwrote.livejournal.com]

It all needs to be HP and I'm working under the assumption that most of you will be reading H/D but I don't want to put a limit on love! So as long as both our boys are in the fic (or mentioned) then it'll count!

Would you like to sign up?

[smallbrownfrog.livejournal.com]

I read too widely for it to be a good fit for me. (For example, right now I'm reading 4 HP fests and only one of them is H/D.) Awesome idea is still awesome.

[darkravenwrote.livejournal.com]

That's a shame. Oh well, maybe next time :) Bet those fests your reading are all amazing though :) so much talent.

[kisslicknipsuck.livejournal.com]

Sign me up! I haven't participated in this comm for a while and I'm terrible about leaving comments on fanworks, so it'll be good for me, even if I don't win anything:)

P.s. I'd like to opt in for the adult card~

[darkravenwrote.livejournal.com]

Hey!! *waves enthusiastically*

You're card 1 this round :D Hope you have fun!

[taran-swann.livejournal.com]

I'm new here but this sounds fun! I'd like to give it a try. Opt In for Adult Card please! :D

[darkravenwrote.livejournal.com]

Welcome to the comm :D Feel free to message any of the mods if you have any questions or ideas, we're all really friendly!

Thanks for signing up :D You're card 3.

[susannah-wilde.livejournal.com]

This sounds like fun and with so many fests (Smoochfest!) in June, this will be easy to spread fandom love! I'll opt in for card 3, too. :D

[darkravenwrote.livejournal.com]

Welcome :D Yay fests!

You're card 1 this time :)
