Ladiesbingo Card 8-13-13

Here is my card for the ladiesbingo fest. This bingo challenge celebrates the various shades of relationships amongst female characters. It's intended to raise the amount of female-centric literature available. All modes are welcome here: het, slash, femslash, poly and gen. All media/formats are welcome, including poetry; fanfic and original material are both acceptable. Some of the content may be NSFW. Read the FAQ and rules first. The signup post is here. Anyone thinking about contributing to Plunge, but not sure what to submit? Get a card for inspiration.  (See all my bingo cards.)

I thought this might be an effective way to attract some new readers. It's also useful for developing some of my series with female leads or other characters as a prevailing feature. Consider The Adventures of Aldornia and Zenobia, Hart's Farm, Path of the Paladins, Schrodinger's Heroes, and Walking the Beat. In other series such as An Army of One, Fledgling Grace, and Monster House there's at least one F&F or F/F relationship amongst a more widely scattered cast and plot. Polychrome Heroics is kind of a unique case because 2/6 of Damask (Mira and Maze) are female; and of course it has other kick-ass superheras.

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. 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'll 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.

B Column: 5 poems
Parallel Diagonals: 5 poems

SF for Kids

Space stories for children may become popular again.  That would be awesome.

Origfic Bingo Card 8-13-13

Here is my card for the origfic_bingo fest. This bingo challenge encourages original material across all formats and lengths. It looks like a promising fest if you want gen and/or gentle fiction. Read the rules first. A signup post appears the first week of each month, when anyone can request a card whether you've completed a bingo or not.  (See all my bingo cards.)

I thought this might be an effective way to attract some new readers. This fest should work with any of my series. Its flavor reminds me of the Cottoncandy Bingo which has not revived this year, although I wish it would.
