To celebrate our first anniversary, Loose Lips Sink Ships HBO War Fandom Prompt Meme is running a Mini Bingo challenge! In this challenge, you may request a mini bingo card (just 3 by 3 squares), and we will randomly generate a unique card based on your character, pairing or fandom requests. Use this card to win extra points in our Field Maneuvers game, or just for inspiration about what prompts to fill next.

This challenge will run until 6 October 2020, five weeks from now.

For more details check out our rules post on Dreamwidth or Tumblr.

For the next two weeks, LLSS's theme is Before and After. Ever wonder how your faves met? What bit of backstory led to who they are today? What happened to them after the closing credits? Any fill that takes the canon setting, but focuses on what happens before the story we see starts or after it ends will get you extra points in our Field Maneuvers game.

For the next two weeks in Field Maneuvers, Colonel Kink would like to highlight gen, that is fills that are about things other than romantic or sexual relationships. Consider the friendship, the rivalry, the mentorship, the family relationship, or someone's personal reflections. Try searching the humble ampersand (&) on the prompts list, or looking for prompts only listing one character. Please remember that while fills containing background romantic/sexual relationships can qualify for this theme, the focus of your work shouldn't be on them.

(If you're not trying to get extra points in the Field Maneuvers game, please feel free to fill anything you like!)

Colonel Kink's Theme of the Fortnight #4


Spring (or Fall) is almost upon us, and as befits the mid-season, it's time for some house cleaning! For this Theme of the Fortnight, we are going to clear up some of the clutter. Before the next Mail Call is out, we will have permanently deleted all prompts posted in August and September (check the dates!). From now until the next newsletter is published, any fill of an August/September prompt will be worth 2 points.

What if you've got a favorite prompt you were saving for later? A half-finished draft waiting for the correct alignment of the stars? Three absolutely gorgeous lines with no plot attached as of yet?

From now till the next newsletter is published in two weeks, for each fill you post (in response to any prompt), you can save up to 3 prompts from August or September. Just mention them in a comment to this post and they will not be culled when the time comes.
