I Always Say Im Gonna Do These And Then I Slack Off - Tumblr Posts

MacGyver Fanwork Bingo FAQ - September 2023

Who is this for?

Every MacGyver fan is invited to participate. Post a fanwork on Tumblr or AO3 to mark off a square. 

What type of fanworks count?

Any type of fanwork counts! Gifs, videos, artwork, and fiction are all welcome. You could also post a story analysis, tell us your feelings on a scene in the show, post a new incorrect quote, or some other related work. 

We’ve arranged the prompts to ensure that there are multiple bingo options for fanworks of canon like gifs of the show. 

How do I use the bingo card?

There are two bingo cards to choose from: the regular 5x5 square bingo card, and the mini 3x3 square card. You choose which card to use and whether you want to try to cross off one line of 5, one line of 3, or go for a blackout on the mini or regular bingo card.

Each bingo square on the bingo card contains two prompts. Cross off the square after using either prompt. You don’t have to use both.

We’ve also provided two alternate squares. Replace any square on either card with an alternate square to customize your bingo board & change up your prompt options.

Is this a whump challenge thing?

No. Each square contains one casual affection or comfort prompt, and one whump or hurt/comfort prompt. Make any kind of work you want with the prompts you choose. 

What about AI-generated or assisted fanwork?

AI generated or AI assisted fic or art is NOT welcome.

I wrote a thing! When do I post it?

The target posting date is every Friday in September, because the show aired on Fridays. (Also there are conveniently 5 Fridays in the month so it’s perfect for bingo!)

What if I miss the target date? Can I post it later?

Yes! Your bingo entries are always welcome.  

Is there an AO3 collection?

The collection will be MacGyver Fanwork Bingo 2023. The collection will open on September 1, 2023. Please add your work! :)

What about Tumblr tags?

Tag the event ( #macgyverbingo ) and add a tag for the prompt(s) you used. And please please please don’t forget to @ this blog so we can reblog it.

Who’s running this thing?

The shadowy faces behind the curtain for this event are @impossiblepluto and @rosieblogstuff 👋
