Since I'm still plugging away at my round 24 card where I'm aiming for a blackout (and yes, I know I've only posted 2 works for it so far, but I've gotten a lot more outlining and other behind-the-scenes work done) on this card I wanted to keep things a lot more manageably sized. My goal with this card is to have all the fics be <5000 words. I chose the categories and exclusions accordingly, ruling out some prompts that I really liked the looks of but knew I would be sure to have the ideas run away with me. (Okay, after going through my card and getting excited about it—and realizing that some of the squares could be used for ideas I already had in progress—I'm giving myself permission to have a few of the fics go >5000. Those are marked with † below and they are not allowed to comprise more than 20% of the fills on this card. Preferably less.)

This was an opt-in card, drawn from 6 categories:
3. Physical
7. Rituals
10. Domesticity
12. Plot
13. Extending Canon and Meta
17. Things

Links & rules: Round 25 AO3 collection. I got the card here. The Round 25 prompt list is here. There is no deadline, and working on older and newer cards at the same time is fine. The "gen" in the name of the bingo just refers to the prompts: works are allowed to be shippy.


One of the things I'm excited about with this particular card is that it ended up having several prompts that fit projects I'd already been working on, that I'd set aside but had been wanting to get back to. So I'm looking forward to having the incentive to finally get all of those written! Anything where I'm using an already-started project for the square is marked with an asterisk in the list below. (Most of them I'd just done brainstorming and/or outlining on; one hadn't even gotten that far, while one—"Shoes Please"—I'd already written a lot of so I had to laugh when such a specific prompt showed up on this card!)
