Public Domain Day Bingo Card 1-1-25

[ysabetwordsmith]

Here is my card for the Public Domain Day Bingo. It will run from January 1-31, 2023. On January 1st, a whole slew of things come into the public domain, including the first Mickey Mouse talkies, the original versions of Popey, Winnie the Pooh, and Tintin. In the United States, all works first published in 1929 and sound recordings from 1924 are now available for adaption, performance, and copying. This means that everything published in the 1920s in now public domain. (See all my 2025 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.

"Ain't Misbehavin'" might fit Peculiar Obligations, with their 3 plus ethical systems, and the fact that at least 2 of them are held to be (sometimes literally) criminal.

LOL yes. It probably wouldn't fit in "Short Forms" next week but you never know.

I might not have too many ideas for this round. I'll let you know if any of the other prompts here jump out at me though.
