So that's that for June, and I am off to bed. :)

I hate my life and all my current writing projects (including the prompt fill I am still working on from the last mini-ficlet prompt meme I opened, ARGH, that thing is made of kudzu and frustration but I am GOING TO BEAT IT eventually), and I just want to do some tiny finger exercises to hopefully clear out the cobwebs in my brain so I can focus again.

Here is a link to my Genprompt Bingo card.

For those who prefer lists to graphics, the open squares are: Exploration, Missing Persons, Biography / Autobiography, Virtual Reality, Plays and Scripts, Violence, Anticipation, Rich and Poor, Warning Signs, Cherished, Far Over the Misty Mountains Cold, Winter, WILD CARD, Honey, Cowardly, Mentors, Angst, Energy Beings, The Tower, Another Year Older: Birthdays, Monsoon, Kids / Babies, Something Useful, Heat, Explorer

If you would like to claim any of the open squares, please choose a prompt from the card, add one to three characters plus a scenario or mood, and I will write you a ficlet of at least 100 words.

-----

Obligatory small print:

1. I reserve the right to veto any fandoms I don't know well enough to write, and ask you to please try again.

2. Crossover prompts are fine. On the off chance that anyone wants to read a snippet from any of my original worlds and stories, ofic prompts are also fine.

3. In this challenge, WILD CARD means to grab any prompt from the complete round 15 prompt list. I reserve the right to veto any such wild card substitutions and ask you to please try again.

4. Genprompt Bingo fills do not have to be gen! (The 'gen' refers to the squares, which do not automatically presuppose shipping.) Just be aware that I'm not great at romance, so if you request shipfic, it will come out fairly low-key and may end up as ambiguous gen anyway. Porn is unlikely, though you can always ask.
