Nov 1st and come and gone and this round is officially over.

Congratulations to everyone that participated! Be sure to check out the awesome stories and artwork. It is marvelous, indeed. (I'm using one piece of the art for my desktop even as I type)

We have two Banners to give out this round made by the talented neevebrody

Round 2 of Ancient City Bingo is now open!

• If you have a card from Round 1, you're welcome to use / re-use those prompts.


• If you had a card and have, umm... misplaced it, we still have the originals and can get you a copy.


• If you want a new card, we can do that for you also.

This is a low-key low pressure opportunity to get some prompts and create stuff... fic, art, icons, vids, meta.... and all types... gen, het, slash... as well as all ratings.... G to NC-17. You do it and we'll be glad to promote it.

We're opening the request for cards today -- Friday March 15 and you have until April 1 (no fooling!  ::groan:: ) to request a card. You then have until November 1 to do your Bingo.... everything from a single line to cover-all.

Many questions will be answered in the FAQ, which is here: http://ancientctybingo.livejournal… -- check that out!

Leave us a comment with an email addy here and we'll send you a card.... Or do ask any questions here also!

Whee!

(And don't hesitate to leave a note to let em_kellesvig know how pretty her banner is! And if you snurch it to pimp Round 2 for us, do let us know where you've pimped it!)

Also, there's a 'sister' comm on Dreamwidth... ask here or there!

Two more days to sign up and request your Bingo card for Round 1. Sign-ups close at Midnight November 15th. We've already had an amazing response and wish everyone luck with their card. There are a lot of cool prompts out there and we're really looking forward to seeing what you guys come up with... and how many different ways you can find to fill the squares!

Just so you know, we've added recs, haiku (a series of multiple entries per prompt), and meta as means to fill your square. You can check out more about these additions in the The Rules. If you still have questions, ask them there or here in comments.

Ancient City Bingo - it's all about those stories where our hearts and imaginations want to go.

It's also a chance to bring your old SGA love and new fandom loves together, if you're so inclined. (Tony Stark in Atlantis? Yes please.)

Things we need: Please title your post, "BINGO: diagonal line" or "BINGO: blackout" or "EXTRA: postage stamp story" or "EXTRA: double line stories" or whatever combo it is that you're submitting.

You can include additional information (wordcounts, short summaries, etc.) if you like. Please be sure to include any and all relevant and appropriate warnings. If you like, you may post a picture of your bingo card, with X's or a line through the squares you've completed.

Already have your card and the prompts have you scratching your head? Does your prompts say, Zzzzzzzt or Nanites R us? - and wow, that's not your typical prompt.

Remember, your bingo card is actually two prompts in one.

The first is the Ancient City of Atlantis. The second is your bingo square. Look at it sideways. Turn it upside down, shake it around a little, and see what inspiration falls out.

Still feel a little nervous, still scratching your head at that one impossible prompt?
sgamadison has created a comm for that. sga_cardplayers is a support community created specifically for those participating in Ancient City Bingo who may have a case of first-time Bingo jitters. It's a place for brainstorming and hand-holding, cheering and advice. Check it out!

(And, of course, if you have questions about the rules or procedures, or anything else pertaining to Ancient City Bingo, your mods are the ladies to ask.)
