XMFC Bingo

Hey guys, your genius mod here accidentally deleted the XMFC Bingo collection on AO3 just now. None of your stories have been affected except that they're no longer in the collection because there isn't one. If that's actually a big deal to anyone, please reply here and I will be glad to make a new collection for you to put your stories in. I'm not going to make a new collection unless I know people will put their stories back in it, because I don't see the point if there's no interest, but I definitely will if anyone actually wants me to. :)

Just a reminder that this round of XMFC Bingo will end on March 2nd, 10 days from now. After the round is finished, you will no longer be able to sign up for a bingo card or receive a name tag, but you will still be able to post links to your fic to the community.

The prompt AU: Shinsengumi jidai has been changed to AU: Shinsengumi era. Those of you who have it on your cards should find it a lot easier to google now! :)

Thanks to Kage* for explaining what it was in the #xmentales chat a while back. Prior to the explanation, I thought it was an anime or something from the results that came up for it on google.

*I think it was Kage, if not then someone else who was there should correct me. :P

XMFC Bingo

XMFC Bingo is a bingo community centered around creating fanworks for X-Men: First Class based on a wide range of prompts in five categories (AUs, tropes, kinks, sexual/romantic relationships, and platonic relationships). The list of prompts can be found here.

Timeline

Round opens: March 3rd, 2013
Round closes: March 2nd, 2014
Amnesty period begins: March 2nd, 2014
Amnesty period ends: TBA
Round two begins: TBA and it might not happen at all; it depends on how this first round goes

The Goal

Once you have signed up and received your Bingo card, your goal is to achieve a Bingo horizontally, vertically, or diagonally by creating fanworks based on the prompts on your card. You can also aim for a Blackout, which would be achieved by creating fanworks based on EVERY prompt on your card.

In order to "win" at XMFC Bingo, you must achieve at least one Bingo by March 2nd, 2014. Everyone who posts a Bingo during the round will receive a name tag on the community. If you do not achieve a Bingo during the round, or if you have created fanworks for one or more prompts but have not managed to achieve a Bingo, you can still post to the community, but only during the amnesty period. All posts to the community during the round must be either Bingos or Blackouts.

Rules

All types of fanworks are allowed. If you can think of it and want to do it, go for it!

Every size/length of fanwork is welcome.

All fanworks must be centered around X-Men: First Class characters. Crossovers are welcome, but XMFC characters must play a major part of your fanwork in order for it to count.

Only newly-posted fanworks may be used for XMFC Bingo; anything you posted before signing up may not be used.

All fanworks must be finished prior to being linked to on the community.

Fanworks must not be posted here; they should be posted elsewhere, and your post here will include the links.

Required warnings for this community are: Major Character Death, Rape/Noncon, Underage, and Graphic Depictions of Violence. You may also Choose Not to Warn. This warning must be either included on the story in your post here to the community, or included on the story wherever you post it (so if you're posting on AO3 and have followed their warnings system, you're good).

This one's not a rule, but if you're posting your fanworks to AO3, please post them to the XMFC Bingo collection.

Posting Format

When posting Bingos/Blackouts to the community, please use the following format:

Subject Line: [Bingo/Blackout]: # of Works: Type(s) of works

Work title:
Rating:
Warnings/Content Notes:
Bingo Prompt(s):
Author's Note:
Summary:
Link:

It's fine to vary the format a little, but please make sure to include a bare minimum of your works' titles, ratings, warnings, prompts, and of course a link.

What is XMFC Bingo?
XMFC Bingo is a bingo community in the spirit of kink_bingo . Essentially, you sign up for a randomized bingo card (like this) and then create fanworks to complete a "bingo" down, across, or diagonally on your card. Once you complete a bingo, you post to the community with links to the works you produced in your bingo.

XMFC Bingo is for fanworks based on X-Men: First Class, based on a prompts list of general prompts and XMFC-specific prompts.
