So, before we start in earnest
Oct. 31st, 2025 09:02 pmpicowrimo_feed... let us hear about your plans for the upcoming pico session. Do you have any unfinished WIPs that need closure? Do you have any ideas for a new story or five? What are you planning to work on?
If you just want to read other people's stuff, that's fine, too. We all need supportive comments here. :))

November Bingo Challenge
Oct. 31st, 2025 09:00 pmprisca posting in allbingoWelcome to our Bingo Round in November 2025. The theme is 'Fairy Tales and Fantasy Stories' (including books, movies, and TV shows).
Under the cut, you will find five groups of prompts, each of them coming with a 3x3 bingo card. Additionally, there will be one 5x5 bingo card that combines all prompt groups.
Feel free to create your own bingo card(s) of any size, skipping the prompts you don't like.
While the prompts are based on fairy tales and fantasy, you don't have to stay to these main themes when filling out your bingo card. You prefer to write crime or science fiction, go wild and have fun.
Feel free to interpret the prompts in whichever way you like.
Any bingo pattern you can think of is allowed as long as you create at least three works in total. Fills can be any work type: drabbles, novels, haikus, poems, icons, wallpaper or cakes, and knitted goods, or a mix of it. Whatever you can think of is fair game.
