Once upon a time, there was a lovely community called [community profile] cottoncandy_bingo. It hasn't been active since 2014. So I launched a fest over on [community profile] allbingo using the same set of prompts from the last round. These prompts angle toward upbeat content, although creators can do whatever they want with them. This fest encourages people to create and share material focused on what is variously called fluff, schmoop, gentle fiction, light reading, comfort reading, positive thinking, chicken soup for the soul, or anything else that offers a fun alternative to usual run of sex, violence, and angst of modern media. It's open to all fandoms plus original content, and all kinds of material. (See all my 2016 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'm mainly wrestling with ADHD. Lots of ideas, very little capacity to actually write them down. And life has been complex the last couple of years, husband and I were both made redundant, his health has deteriorated massively and a series of other things which have needed addressing including supporting friends in need which have taken priority. So, my creative energy has evaporated. Also, without a supportive community and regular feedback I find writing hard, one of the ADHD "things" is a need for structure, positive feedback, encouragement, reward (wahey neuroatypicality!) so I REALLY miss stargateland!

All good ideas. I'm building my support systems up slowly and writing (as a less essential part of my life) has sadly come up last. Habitica / HabitRPG is an absolute deity-of-choice-send.

You're totally right about the small projects. At the moment it seems that challenges/ficathons where I'm making something for someone are the best as there are consequences (i.e. making someone sad) to not completing it. Consequences are also important to ADHD people.
