Comment Bingo Starting Post!!!

Lovely banner created by vaysh, many thanks.

Attention All!  This Is Your Comment Bingo Starting Post!!!
brought to you by hd_writers

Are we all raring to spread the love?  I hope so!!!

So, here's what's going to happen, hopefully pretty smoothly:

Below are three cuts - one for each group.  Under each one is a bingo card, some useful links specifically for that card (these are suggestions, you don't have to use them), some helpful hints as to what some of the squares mean AND, importantly, a ready-made copy & paste text box just waiting for you to add all your links to!!! (Can't say I never do anything for you guys!! <3)

Firstly, please double check your group HERE and make sure you're looking at the correct card - I have you all charted up so you get a nice shiny new card if you decide to go again next round!

Secondly, this starting post is where you need to scream BINGO!!! as loudly as internetly possible!  Just leave your links with the pre-made text in the comments.  (I'd also appreciate it if you left some feedback (what could be improved?  Any ideas to make the cards better?) but this isn't compulsory.)

Thirdly, you will need 12 different links for 12 different stories. Doubling up squares is not allowed for this event.

Lastly, while we are a H/D comm I appreciate that not every fic/art you lovely people fan over will necessarily be of them.  Therefore, this time around fics only need to at least mention both Harry and Draco.  They do NOT need to be paired together in the fic.

So what do you have to do?

1) Find a fanwork that fits a square whether that's fic, art, podfic or otherwise - AO3 is easiest from my point of view because of the tagging system but you may use ANY SITE.
2)  Appreciate it in all it's glory, spill a few tears and think on the journey you travelled with the creator's help.
3)  Comment!!!  With a BANG!!  Or a whimper when applicable.
4)  Repeat.  Save those links and scream bingo back here with your filled out link text.
5)  And remember, while most authors do appreciate concrit, be as gentle as you know how.  No one wants to be an accidental flamer!

Types of Square!

There are several types that are pretty obvious, e.g. ratings, genre, length, locations and characters - mentions are enough to qualify for these last two, the entire fic does not need to centre on the square.  We've also got some generation squares and a couple of trope squares.  Next time I'd like to put in some more trope squares but I wasn't sure which ones were popular enough to include so for now there's only a few.

There's also a couple of additional, generalised adult squares in Card 3, so have fun with those.

ALERT!! REMINDERS!!

1)  Remember to save all those links.
2) Make sure you're logged in when you comment!  Squares will not count if they are anonymous.  (If you have a username on a different site that is drastically different from your live journal name, please note it in your post.)
3) You have all month to do this!  Have fun reading some amazing fic, seeing some fantastic art, and sending some love to the maker!

Any questions?  Feel free to message me!

Wow, that was a little longer than intended.  Remember there are two bonus banners up for grabs!  I wonder what they're for?

Anyway!  HERE WE GO!

Group 1

Group 1 Completion Form
<b>Card 1</b> <b>Drama:</b> <b>One-shot (<5k):</b> <b>Post-Hogwarts:</b> <b>Humour:</b> <b>Hogwart's Ghosts:</b> <b>T-Rated:</b> <b>Art:</b> <b>The Burrow:</b> <b>Creature Fic:</b> <b>Common Rooms:</b> <b>Angst:</b> <b>Free!!!:</b> <b>Anything to add?</b>

Hints & Tips
Locations: Remember they only need to be mentioned to fill the square.
Creature Fic: This square includes a character being a creature - like the fantastic trope that's sprung up of magical inheritance and vampires - AND magical creatures (which doesn't include owls, cats etc).
T-Rated: This would equate to PG-13.

Group 2

Group 2 Completion Form
<b>Card 2</b> <b>Friendship:</b> <b>G-Rated:</b> <b>Fluff:</b> <b>Crossover:</b> <b>Hermione Granger:</b> <b>Romance:</b> <b>Non-Magic:</b> <b>Gryffindor Housemates:</b> <b>Hogwarts:</b> <b>Marauders:</b> <b>Eighth Year:</b> <b>Free!!!:</b> <b>Anything to add?</b>

Hints & Tips
Marauders: When I put this on the card, I intended it to mean 'set in the marauders time', but there probably aren't too many fics out there with Draco and Harry and the marauders time. So this also includes any of the original marauders as characters. :D
G-Rated: This would equate to a U.

Group 3

Group 3 Completion Form
Beware! I contain adult links!
<b>Card 3</b> <b>Long Story (>5K):</b> <b>M-Rated:</b> <b>H/D:</b> <b>Choose a Kink:</b> <b>Severus Snape:</b> <b>Choose a Position:</b> <b>AU:</b> <b>Potions:</b> <b>Next Gen:</b> <b>Ron Weasley:</b> <b>NC-17/E-Rated:</b> <b>Free!!!:</b> <b>Anything to add?</b>

Hints & Tips
H/D: While our boys should be present for every fanwork, this is the only square where they are required to be paired together. Go find yourselves some steamy H/D work to flail over!


Choose squares: As we're not an 18+ only comm, I can't adult content to the cards. Therefore, these general ones will have to do. When you leave your link please state what you chose.  And remember, you need 2 different links for 2 different fics!

Anything to add? I want to thank to (http://capitu.livejournal.com/profile)capitu (http://capitu.livejournal.com/) for her wonderful recs (http://my-drarry-recs.livejournal.com/profile)my_drarry_recs (http://my-drarry-recs.livejournal.com/) because until recently I wasn't following this fandom and she helps me with her records to find all these amazing stories that I missed. All ratings have been placed by the authors.
