Yuletide Reading Bingo 2024
The 2024 Yuletide collection is about to be revealed, and many of us love to read more than just our own gifts and treats. If gamification is your thing, why not enhance your Yuletide reading experience with a fun challenge?
With this bingo card generator, you can generate your own Yuletide Reading Bingo Card and try to finish it over a timespan of your choice. If you like, you can challenge yourself to not only reading the fics, but also commenting on them. Last year, I saw people making reclists based on their bingo cards, which is such a cool idea to keep track of the fics they read for each square.
There are no fanfic/fandom/Yuletide-negative or bashing items in the lists. This bingo card is meant to be a positive experience and celebrate fanfiction and fanworks in general and Yuletide in specific.
This bingo generator can be used to generate totally safe-for-work or family-friendly bingo cards, but it was created by an adult with an adult audience in mind.
If you run into any issues or come across any bugs, please let me know.
If you find something that should be in the NSFW category, but isn't, please also let me know. It's possible that I missed a few tags when I worked through the list of over 2,000 tags in the 2024 main collection. Please don't ask me to remove content you find objectionable.
If there's anything unclear, feel free to ask! I'll try to get back to you as soon as possible, but please understand if it takes a while; it's a busy time for all of us. :D
Just FYI, the platform I'm using, Perchance, added AI options for their generators last year. This is a regrettable decision that I don't condone, and I'd like to emphasise that this generator is 100% handcrafted chaos.
This generator is based on my Fanfiction Reading Bingo I made as a little practice piece. It's responsive, which means it should work on desktop and mobile. The mobile layout isn't ideal yet; I'm trying my best to make it better (but I'd also still consider myself a newbie and I'm learning by doing).

I hope you'll find as much fun in using this generator as I found in making it! <3
Have a lovely Yuletide!

Info & Instructions
How to Play
Generate a new bingo card until you're (mostly) happy with the results. If some fields are duplicates or contain items you don't want to have in your card, you can then re-roll every single bingo field separately by clicking/tapping on it.
Once you have a card that fits your reading habits (or that takes you out of your comfort zone, if you want to challenge yourself), take a screenshot of the card to keep it.
Closing the page and reloading it will reset the card.
Cross off the bingo fields on your screenshot as you read (or read and comment on) fics that you think count for a field.
Items like "Fandom with over 500 works" mean works in the fandom tag, not in the collection. There are specific versions for the number of works in the collection.
Items like "Fandom with over 1,000 works" doesn't mean qualifying works. There are specific versions for the number of qualifying works.
Items like "Highest number of hits in fandom" or similar however mean in this collection, not in the fandom tag.
If a work you read has a tag that's similar but not identical to a tag on your card, let it count. There were some almost-duplicates that I trimmed.

The Lists
- Canon (options like canon released this year, book fandom, etc)
- Category (the AO3 categories and their platonic versions: F/F, F & F Gen, etc)
- Challenge (the unofficial mini-challenges like Yuleporn, Crueltide, Wrapping Paper, etc)
- Creator (only if you checked the "After Reveals" box; options like favourite author, mutuals, etc)
- Discovery (various ways you could've found a fic)
- Fandom (options like previously ineligible fandom, uncategorised fandom)
- Length (wordcounts from drabble to 30k)
- Meta (a fic's front-end and stats, also "citrus scale for rating" xD)
- Reader (your relationship with the fic; is it your comfort fic, or your first fic in a fandom?)
- Style (chatfic, iambic pentameter, custom workskin, stuff like that)
- Tag (roughly 1,800 tags from the 2024 main collection; more than 100 Madness tags)
- Trope (roughly 100 tropes)
What do the Checkboxes Mean?
- NSFW is basically what it says on the tin. If you tick this box, the NSFW tropes will be added to the mix. If you also ticked the Tags box, NSFW tags will be added.
- Tags is also what it says on the tin. It's a list with currently roughly 1,800 tags from the Yuletide 2024 main collection and more than 100 additional tags from thee 2024 Yuletide Madness collection. Around 300 of them are currently marked NSFW and can only be generated if you ticked both the NSFW box and the Tags box.
- After Reveals includes items that only make sense after creator reveals, such as "work by last year's recipient" or "creator is your Tumblr mutual".
