Gen Prompt Bingo

Round 30: Sign-ups

2026-04-09T15:24:09Z

Posted by: purplecat

You can sign-up for gen prompt bingo cards round 30 here. Bingo claims from rounds 1-29 may still be posted to the comm.

There are two styles of card, opt-out and opt-in. By default you will be given an opt-out card unless it is obvious you wanted an opt-in card. If you want an opt-in card therefore, please state this clearly in your sign-up.

Sign-up by leaving a comment requesting a bingo card, stating whether you want an opt-out or an opt-in card, and listing categories where relevant (see below).

Opt-out Cards: When signing up you may request no more than eight categories from the prompt lists be excluded from the card (categories can be found in the prompt list). Please state the categories by number since this makes life much simpler when generating the cards. Each card will contain no more than one prompt from each of the categories in the prompt lists.

Opt-in Cards: When signing up you must request at least three categories from the prompt list to be included in the card (categories can be found in the prompt list). Please state the categories by number since this makes life much simpler when generating the cards. Each card will contain prompts more or less evenly spread among the categories you have selected.

Additional Card Customisation

You may ask for individual prompts to be excluded from your card (either opt-in or opt-out). If asking for a prompt exclusion please state the number of the category followed by a point (full stop) then the number of the prompt (e.g. 1.1 for the first prompt in category 1). You may exclude up to five prompts in any category. However the more exclusions you request the more likely I am to make a mistake typing it all into the card generator.

Some prompts have a "type" in brackets after them (at the moment the types are fandom, fiction, art, craft and graphics). This indicates that that prompt is only suitable for certain media (or only for transformative works). You may ask for all prompts from any of the types be excluded so, for instance, if you are an artist you could ask for all fiction prompts to be excluded and if you only write original fiction you can ask for all fandom prompts to be excluded. Warning: If you ask for an opt out card and exclude the art and craft types but don't exclude the Art and Craft category the chances of one of the three prompts in that category that are not labelled art or craft (Landscape/Panorama, Something Useful, Chiaroscuro) appearing on your card is unusually high. I can't decide if this is a feature or a bug.
