If you liked Yuletide, you might like...

Yuletide is one of a tonne of similar fandom events run throughout the year.

Maybe you have a challenge, exchange, Big Bang, fest, or other event you love - tell people about it in the comments!

Maybe you have an idea for a challenge, exchange, Big Bang, fest, etc, etc - brainstorm it in the comments!

Maybe you have only ever done Yuletide and want to try similar things - ask for recommendations, or look in the comments!

Comment Bingo

Yuletide is over for the year, but the stories remain.

Personally, I always want to comment more throughout the year, but have trouble sticking to my goals (and am easily distracted by the next exchange shiny thing). The following comment bingo is for me, for people who feel a similar way, and for people who liked the concept last time.

If you already comment on fanworks as much as you want to, then good on you - this will not be relevant to everyone.

But if you want to comment more, maybe this will be a fun way of increasing motivation & accountability.

1. Go to An Owomoyela's bingo generator

2. Input the following list:
3 fics by the same author,a fic in a fandom you might request this year,a fic in a fandom you’ve previously requested,a fic in a fandom you offered last Yuletide,a fic in a fandom you’ve previously offered,a fic you first read over 1 year ago,a podfic,fanart,meta,a fanvid,a fic from Yuletide 2016,a fic from Yuletide 2015,a fic from Yuletide 2014,a fic from Yuletide 2013,a fic from Yuletide 2012,a fic tagged gen,a fic tagged f/f,a fic tagged m/m,a fic tagged f/m,a fic with a ship other than f/m or m/m or f/f,make a comment of 100+ words,make a comment where you quote your favourite line,comment in an exchange that isn't Yuletide,comment in a fandom where there are fewer than 10 fics,a work that has two of your favourite tags,a fic that's over 5k,a fic that's over 20k,a fic with multiple chapters,a fic about 2 of your favourite characters,a fic in a New Year's Resolution collection (any),a fic in a Yuletide Madness collection (any),a work by someone who's given you a kudos or a comment,3 different fics in the same fandom,2 fics in the same fandom written in different years,a crossover,5 drabbles,make the first comment on a work,a fic you've already commented on,a fic tagged with a Yuletide mini-challenge,2 fics in a fandom where each is from a different Yuletide subcollection,a fic in the Yuletide bookmarks collection,2+ responses to the same challenge prompt,a past gift,a fic in a fandom you don't normally read,a fic you've bookmarked,a fic in a series,a fic you were surprised you liked,a fic with more than 5 "additional" tags,a WIP,the first fic you read in a fandom,a fic with multiple authors,a fic mentioned on Fanlore,a fic crossposted at tumblr,a comment fic,10+ fics in a week,a fic not on AO3

3. Create a bingo card!

3a. Adjust it if you don't like it, or adjust the list!

4. Copy the HTML provided for your bingo card. Save or post it somewhere and work towards filling it.


The list is biased towards commenting on fic, and specifically, Yuletide fic. Please take it as a starting point, and customize it however you like! If you want to comment on specific pairings, or focus more on podfic or fanvids, or weight the bingo card towards different exchanges - go ahead. There isn't a wrong way to play (except maybe commenting on works you dislike for the sole purpose of fulfilling the challenge).
