Here is my card for the Tones fest on [community profile] allbingo. It will run from September 1st through 30.  The point of this month's theme is to explore tones and voices. The suggested length is 200 words or less -- or whatever "small" is in your medium if not words -- to encourage people to try new things. (See all my 2015 bingo cards.)

If you'd like to sponsor a particular square, especially if you have an idea for what character, series, or situation it would fit -- talk to me and we'll work something out. I've had a few requests for this and the results have been awesome so far. This is a good opportunity for those of you with favorites that don't always mesh well with the themes of my monthly projects. I may still post some of the fills for free, because I'm using this to attract new readers; but if it brings in money, that means I can do more of it. That's part of why I'm crossing some of the bingo prompts with other projects, such as the Poetry Fishbowl.

Underlined prompts have been filled.

I made one full bingo in Tones & Voices down the O column:
O1 -- "optimistic" in "The Word for Family Is Forest" (Polychrome Heroics)
O2 -- "welcoming" in "Mending Strings" (Polychrome Heroics)
O3 -- "lyrical" in "Threading the Labyrinth" (stand-alone)
O4 -- "miserable" in "The Sweater Superstition" (stand-alone)
O5 -- "urgent" in "Closing the Loops" (An Army of One)

Of these, "Threading the Labyrinth" is a braided poem, complete with color coding to show how the lines braid together. Definitely check it out if you like form poetry.  It's meant to be performed by three people.

I also wrote a bunch of miscellaneous fills:
B3 -- "soothing" in "Plastic Futures" (Polychrome Heroics)
B5 -- "sentimental" in "The Yarns of My Youth" (stand-alone)

I1 -- "peaceful" in "Crossed Stitches" (Monster House)
I5 -- "enthused" in "Of Cats and Cosmic Strings" (Schrodinger's Heroes)

N1 -- "frantic" in "Severed Threads" (Polychrome Heroics)
N4 -- "proud" in "Tie a String Around It" (stand-alone)

G2 -- "hopeful" in "Dreams of Little Feet" (Fiorenza the Wisewoman)
G3 -- "suspicious" in "By Nature Too Complicated" (Polychrome Heroics)
G4 -- "mournful" in "The Colors of Fire" (Torn World)
G5 -- "bitter" in "The Responsibility Which Audiences Have Put Upon Us" (Polychrome Heroics)
