Peculiar Pairings Bingo GuidelinesWhatA Goldenlake twist on a Goldenlake twist - peculiar pairings bingo! A new spin on our old classic of Bingo, a card of 5 prompts x 5 prompts will be posted below. The catch? Unlike normal bingo, where bingo is achieved by writing a fic using prompts from a straight, vertical, or diagonal line, Peculiar Pairings Bingo requires your fic to feature a Peculiar Pairing! Each fic must include all five prompts from your chosen line, but how you use them is up to you! See Rules below for specific pairing constraints. WhenFebruary 3 - February 17 Where
Goldenlake's Events forum. Posting Format
Please use the following header and posting information to participate in this challenge: Peculiar Pairings Bingo: Title, Rating Title: Rating: Word Count: Bingo: (i.e. Gary+Moustache+Dashing+Summer+Party) Summary (and any Warnings): Notes: What you need to know
1. Normal Goldenlake fanfiction rules on ratings and contents apply. 2. Fics must be a minimum of 100 words. There is no maximum word limit. 3. Fics must use or respond to each of the five prompts and the five prompts must be in a straight line (horizontal, vertical, or diagonal). 4. If you're particularly attached to a certain prompt line, feel free to write more than one fic! But each fic should be able to stand alone and include all five prompts. 5. To be considered a Peculiar Pairing, couples should not be a major canon pairing, or a popular fanon pairing (e.g Alanna/George or Kel/Dom wouldn’t be Peculiar Pairings, but George/Dom or Alanna/Kel would be). 6. Have fun, and use your imagination! Goldenlake embraces strange pairings

Hello! Quick question... I have something in multiple parts, is there a best way to post it? Multiple posts in one thread?

Blue, I think you can either put the different parts in one post (if it will fit) and label the different parts, or you can make separate posts in the same thread for each of the different parts.

Hello! Quick question... I have something in multiple parts, is there a best way to post it? Multiple posts in one thread? Hi! Is it all a response to the same set of prompts? If so, same thread would probably be best.

Glad we could help, Blue! To ask a question of my own, would Varice/Ozorne be considered a peculiar pairing? I have an idea for them kicking around inside my head, but I don't want to write/post it if it's against the guidelines. I don't think that they are a canon couple and there don't actually seem to be many fanfics about them, but something inside me feels like they aren't a peculiar pairing maybe because they've been together in my head canon for awhile (and it's a gloriously twisted relationship). So, what's the Goldenlake verdict? A peculiar pairing or not? Thanks for any answers to my probably silly question

(I'm a bit slow for the other fics- I'll catch up soon enough...!)

Blue, definitely do! You can still post it in the Fanworks section when you're done.

I second Tamari's suggestion to put it in the Fanworks section when you're done. You can even include an author's note about how it was originally written for this challenge and what the prompt was. I'm sure people would enjoy reading it there.

What if it's a continuation of the one I already posted? Can I still add it after it's moved? Sorry for all the questions!
