Frequently Asked Questions

What is Harringrove Summer Bingo?

Harringrove Summer Bingo is a low-pressure, fun fandom challenge with the goal of creating summer themed fanworks for Harringrove ship.

You can fill just one prompt from your card or all of them - it's up to you! As long as your fanwork meets the minimum requirements, you're good!

So how does this bingo thing work exactly?

Sign-up by 19 May, 2024 (sign up here)

Get a bingo card with 8+1 prompt squares (sent between 20-29 May to all who signed up by 19 May)

Create a fanwork that fills a prompt in the card and post it between 1 June - 31 August (must be new!!!)

Each time you post a prompt fill, submit it to the organiser as instructed and get your bingo card stamped

When bingo is closed on 31 Aug 2024 create a masterpost of all your bingo fills

Everyone who filled at least one prompt by 31 Aug 2024 will get a virtual badge to brag with about participating /pf (note: our badges have nothing to do with tumblr badge system)

Can I join if I'm not on tumblr?

Yes you can!

However, since we need to collect the fan works somewhere and you're not on tumblr, you must have and AO3 account and an email address to sign up with.

We have a collection for the event on AO3 where you can then post your fan work.

If your fan work is something else than a written fic, it still can be added to AO3! We're happy to help with setting that up.

Also, if you don't have an AO3 account, we can send you an invitation for one.

Ummm, so what is a Bingo event specifically?

Bingo is a type of fandom challenge in which participants are given 3x3 bingo card with 8+1 prompts (one is always a free space that can be filled with anything).

The participants then create fanworks based on the prompts and post them during the bingo event is running - thus creating more awesome fanworks for the theme and ship!

Once the bingo is over, all participants who filled at least one prompt square will receive a bing badge they can use on social media to brag about participating! /pf

How close to the prompt does each fill have to be?

As close or as far as you want! All the fill has to do is to include the prompt somehow.

As long as the fanwork prominently features Harringrove, has summer included somehow, and it fits a prompt in your card, it works!

What are the type of fan works you allow?

We allow all types of creative fan works:

Fan fiction

Fan art

Can I use a WIP for the bingo?

If you have a WIP that fits a prompt and is collecting dust in your drafts, feel free to use it.

If it's already published or parts of it are, then no.

This bingo's goal is to create new content for the fandom, so all works must to be new and unpublished.
