January meme: H/C bingo

[arduinna]

(still taking questions/suggestions, if you want me to talk about anything in particular - mixing up my responses to those with other stuff as I go)

As part of my "dammit I will be more fannish" decision, I signed up for an hc_bingo card. The official bingo period ends, uh, tomorrow (Jan. 5), so I suspect I will not succeed on that front, but the amnesty period lasts through June 1, so I still have a shot at getting something done, at least.

My hc_bingo card:

family	burns	cursed	depression	brainwashing / deprogramming
unrequited pining	bullet wounds	on the run	shipwrecked	allergic reaction
rejection	accept injury to protect someone	WILD CARD	deadline / time bomb	amnesia
crucifixion	protection	minor illness or injury	loss of powers	hazing / bullying
sensory deprivation	corporal punishment	magical trouble	betrayal	Stockholm syndrome

I have no idea how this works -- does this mean that you'll write some certain amount of words for each of the tiles, or only some of the tiles? Really cool h/c list, though. I'd read all those.

The idea is to do a "bingo" line of fic (or art, vids, meta, recs, etc., each with their own minimums - full list of options here). The bingo can be in any direction, and over the years more patterns have been added, too (examples here). For fic, it's 500 words minimum.

It's a pretty neat way to get some prompts!

You need to do a full bingo line or one of the patterns to fulfill the challenge (which I've never managed to do), but then after the official end of the challenge is the amnesty period, where even one fill counts. So that's what I'm aiming for. :) I haven't written anything in over a year, so... baby steps!
