Reasons for reccing: We had a request for stories featuring the Doctor's scarf and I immediately remembered this one from ages ago and fished it out. It's a such an unusual and clever ficlet - with surprising depths - and it's all about the scarf and how it came to be.

New Seasonal Challenge: Reccer's Bingo Returns!

[thisbluespirit]

It's the best time of the year! Yes, that's right, tardis_library is hosting our annual Reccer's Bingo again!

Reccer's bingo!
Sign up for a bingo card, rec 1-5 works per square till you achieve a bingo.

The challenge is open from now until midnight in your timezone on 25th September 2022.

How it works:
1. Sign up for your card in the comments below. You can ask for up to 10 prompts to be excluded from the prompt list. (Feel free to interpret prompts as widely as you please, as long as the works you rec for each square still relate to the prompts in some way. )

2. Post your rec(s) for each square to this community. Please post recs for the same square together in the same post. If you have 3+ recs in one post, please use a cut. (1-5 recs per each prompt min/max.)

Tag each post with "other: seasonal challenge."

See the Intro & Guidelines post for posting template and general instructions.


3. Continue to post fills until you have achieved a bingo - five squares in a row in any direction, but any recognised bingo pattern comprising 5+ squares is fine, up to and including a Blackout (filling all the squares on your card).

(hc_bingo's guidelines on how to achieve a bingo are pretty comprehensive if you want to check out all the possible variations.)


Once you're done, you can claim a brand new card, or use your original card for extras (again, see user name=hc_bingo> link above for examples - e.g. reccing works that meet multiple prompts simultaneously etc.)

Treat recs for extras in the same way as the original bingo squares, with each individual fill/rec/rec set posted to the comm as one post.

If you have any other questions about the challenge, please ask here or at the general comm sticky post. General reccing and our monthly themes will continue as usual.
