idfic summer

neveralarchOkay, so - I have spent the last academic year under the thrall of grad school, and now I am free for the summer. Mostly. Except for three projects and a conference. Like 80% free of grad school.
And the thing is, I've spent all of this spring reading other people's fic and thinking about writing my own fic and not having time and going 'but this summer, dude, you can do it this summer.' And I've also been thinking about what kind of things I find really compelling in fic that I hardly ever write myself, because it's too embarrassing or too self-indulgent or too ooc or WHATEVER. But fanfic is supposed to be fun, right? Which means I should be able to write some of my bullet-proof kinks without feeling guilty.
So I'm declaring an idfic summer. And I always wanted to do a fanfic bingo, so I made myself a bingo card.
Some of these are things I write or used to write all the time, some of these are things I just want to do, and quite a few are things I love when someone else does them but I've just never tried. Also I would like to try and make a fanvid.
I figure I'll just count all of the relevant spaces as marked for each fic/fanwork - none of this one work per square stuff, I'd like to make this reasonably doable. If anyone wants to join me, that would be rad! I will even make you a card if you want (though it will be based just on what I think you like, so probably not super accurate). But either way, when I reference the idfic summer in the future, this is what I'm talking about.

also - i see what you mean about the vampires and the not dying=ok. although the bloodplay... is still confusing to me. still - interesting.
btw - if you have the inclination, i'd be interested in you making me an id bingo base don what you think i like (i will try not to be too embarrassed when things like 'kidfic' show up). and i would try and at least make a one-line bingo on it.
but yes - you should write that by the sword fic.

The only things I can think of off the top of my head are indeed 'kidfic' and possibly 'pretending to be married' or 'actually being married' but I will make a run at coming up with a full bingo card's worth of stuff. (It will probably only be sort of accurate, but we'll see.)

but soon - two!!

IDK, I tried. Also I can't stop writing this BtS fic, I think I'm going to end up with 7k words that maybe two people will ever be interested in reading.
