In going through my (too) many pinned tabs to see what I could clear out, I ran across my entry from last January in which I had gone to
trope_bingo and requested a bingo card. I still like it, but I decided that maybe the new year was a good time to try my luck again, and discovered that the community is, in fact, running an amnesty round. This means I can use my old card, or that I could generate a new one, with no limit on the number of opt-outs I claimed, as long as I was left with 25 prompts to fill the card's spaces. Not only was that tempting, but I also discovered that the rules have changed, and the minimum word count for a story to count has been lowered to one hundred. Y'all, I can write drabbles.
So I made a new card, and...it would be entirely possible for me to achieve blackout on this one, if I can get the fic juices flowing again.
The top row includes two of the kink tropes I opted into, but I wouldn't have to start there. Second from the bottom looks promising, especially that "celebratory kiss." May/December Romance still belongs to Jack/Pitch, I've got two strong contenders for Telepathy/Mind Meld, I'm overwhelmed with ideas for Uniform Kink, and I will regrettably need to wrestle Road Trip away from the MCU crowd if I want it to actually get written. I always stress about getting the Leverage crew wrong, I just love them so much, but Eliot is the obvious choice for Food and Cooking, and I do feel accomplished when I manage to produce Leverage I'm proud of. I'll have to give the rest some serious thought, but I'm pretty sure somebody's going to have an allergic reaction to the Sex Pollen. Because coming at tropes sideways is fun, too.

Date: 2019-01-07 02:56 pm (UTC)I need a YOI icon. I'd make one myself, except GIMP makes me want to stab myself in the eye with broken bottle shards, and I can't afford the Adobe devil at the crossroads.

Date: 2019-01-10 04:19 am (UTC)I paid for extra icon space, so I have room for more icons. It's just such a pita to make them anymore, and I'm frequently so dissatisfied with the results, that I have to be spectacularly motivated to wrestle with GIMP for one. And I mean, spectacularly motivated. Note that I have no Leverage icons, that is how much I hate beating GIMP into submission.
