FAQs

Got questions? No worries, we’re gonna do our best to answer them here!

What’s a bingo?

Picture a five by five grid. Imagine each of the squares in the grid has a different prompt in it. That’s your bingo card, and you can cross off a square by creating a fanwork based on the prompt.

Sounds cool, how do I get a card?

Easy! You just need to fill it out this form!

The form will ask for your email address, the name you want to appear on your bingo card, and a few details about what kind of prompts you might want on your card.

What type of prompts can I expect?

You can select any or all of the following categories for your card:

  • AUs
  • Fluff prompts
  • Angst prompts
  • Relationships between characters
  • Characters
  • NSFW prompts (must be over 18 to request these)
Bingo

I really don’t want X, Y, and Z. How can I be sure I won’t get them on my bingo card?

Don’t worry, we’ve all got things like this! There’s a place on the sign up form to say if there’s anything you can’t/don’t want to create content for, so you can list those things (without telling us why, because it’s no one’s business but your own why you don’t want certain things on your card) and these things won’t appear on your bingo card.

I signed up, but I haven’t got my card yet. When can I expect it?

Due to life being an unavoidable nuisance sometimes, it could take up to a week for you to get your card.

However, the sign up form is set up so you get an email when you complete it, so as long as you’ve got this your sign up has definitely gone through and you’ll get your card ASAP.

If you’ve not got the automatic email 24 hours after signing up (and it’s definitely not in your junk, because some email accounts can be overzealous about google forms), please let us know and we’ll see if we can locate your sign up.

I’ve got my card and there’s things on it I didn’t think to say I didn’t want when I signed up. What do I do?

Don’t worry about it. Just reply back to the card email listing up to ten squares that don’t work for you, and we’ll replace them with new ones!

Can I combine multiple squares into one work?

That’s about the only question we’re going to answer with sorry, no. One fanwork = one square crossed off.

The exception to this rule is multi-chapter works, where you can use each chapter to fill a different square.

Can I use a work for another event to cross off a bingo square?

Yes! We love crossposting, and you are absolutely allowed to do it, just as long as:

  • The other event is okay with it as well – some might not be.
  • Your fill meets the minimum requirements for all events you’re using it for added together.

Is there a list of events that are okay with crossposting?

So far, tavernfest and merlin-wat-game have confirmed they’re okay with crossposting.

If you mod a fandom event and are cool with it, please let us know and we’ll add you to this list.

Can I repost old works?

Nope, sorry: anything posted for this event needs to be shiny and new.

Do I have to fill all my squares?

You can make as many or as few fills as you want. Whether it’s one, five, ten, or the whole card, that’s awesome! There is zero pressure here.

Okay, but what if I do fill all my squares?

First up, great job!! Massive kudos to you!!!

If you blackout your first card but want to keep creating, you can request a second card! Just fill out the sign up form again, let us know that you’re requesting a second card, and we’ll get it sent out to you ASAP!

Blackout a second card too? Ask for a third one!

Merlin Being Sassy Fanfic

What do I get for making fills?

At the moment, we plan on having personalised badges for participation (filling one square), bingo (five squares in a line - horizontal, vertical or diagonal - or all four corners and the centre square) and blackout (all twenty-five squares). Maybe a few others, we’ll see how it goes…

Merlin Being Sassy For 15 Minutes

What can I create for this event?

You can create almost anything you want to. The minimum requirements for each format are here:

  • Fic and poetry: 300 words, unless you are specifically writing a drabble (exactly 100 words on ao3)
  • Art: 300x300 pixels if digital, 3”x3” if traditional
  • Moodboards: five images + blurb/summary
  • Playlists: eight songs + cover art
  • Rec lists: three fanworks + reasons why you’re reccing them
  • Podfic: ten minutes + clear permission from the author for you to use it for the bingo
  • Translations: the work it’s a translation of must fit the fic minimum requirements, whether it’s a new or a translation of an old one + clear permission from the author for you to use it for the bingo
  • Fanvids: 30 seconds
  • All other fanworks (gifs, crafts, baked goods, edits, manips, anything else you can think of): as long as you think it’s complete and/or the best you can do right now, it counts!

Still not sure if what you want to create counts? You can always ask us!

Can I write in another language?

Absolutely!! Whether it’s because you want to try writing in a language you’ve been learning or because English isn’t your first language, we welcome non-English works.

Can I collaborate with someone else?

Merlin Bingham Swire

Yes! If you want to create with a friend (or acquaintance or arch-enemy, though we probably recommend against that one), you should feel free!

And if your collaborator is participating in the bingo as well, they can also use the collab to cross off a square (better yet, it doesn’t even have to be the same square).

There is one caveat to this: each collaborator has to meet the minimum requirements (your fic has to be at least 600 words if there’s two authors collabing, 900 if there’s three, etc)

Where do I post my fills?

Ao3, tumblr, LJ or absolutely anywhere else you like!

If you post here on tumblr, please tag us @merlinbingo. If you’re posting on ao3, you can add your work to our Merlin Bingo collection.

We’ll signal boost any and all works created for this bingo, as long as we know they exist, which leads in nicely to our next question…

Is there any information I need to include in my post?

Not on the post itself, but there is this quick google form to complete so that your fill definitely gets logged and you definitely get any badges you’ve earned.

This form will ask for:

Merlin Bingo Card Pinterest

  • Your card number (at the top right of your bingo card)
  • Your username
  • The title of your fill
  • A link to your fill
  • The letter-number combo for the square you’ve filled (eg M1, G3, C5)
  • The rating
  • Which archive warning(s) your work would have on ao3 (eg MCD, graphic violence, no archive warnings apply)
  • Any ships or characters that feature in your fan work
  • A short summary of your work

My question isn’t answered here! What do I do?

You can send us an ask on tumblr (anon, if that’s how you roll), or email us at merlinmodsbingo@gmail.com.
