#Bingo Round Stats

[dreamlingbingo]

That's all, folks!

Round Two is now officially over! YAAAY!!

Congratulations to everyone who got a blackout with their cards, it was a lot of fun to watch the final submissions come in as we got closer to the end. Hopefully you all had fun and got some much needed rest after you finished! :D

We also wanted to give a shout out to everyone who submitted a fill even if you weren't able to finish your card. It takes a lot of work to create something and it's been a hectic year so you should still be proud of what you've accomplished! <3

If you weren't able to participate, then thank you for signing up all the same! The goal of the bingo has always been to inspire more works for the Dreamling fandom so if our event got you to even think about creating something then we consider that a success.

So a big thank you to everyone for joining us and leaving us all the lovely feedback in emails, tumblr posts and with the feedback survey. It's been fantastic to see how much fun you all had and, not only that, but all your feedback helps us see how we can make improvements for our next round.

To wrap things up, here are some final things:

We've sent out emails to everyone with a list of the fills we've received from you, if anything is wrong (or you'd like to get your badges faster) then please reply to the email by November 9th.

The email also has a feedback survey for all current participants that we'd really appreciate if you could fill out before it closes at the end of November.

If you wanted to make an OPTIONAL masterlist to advertise all the fills you made for the bingo then please either send us a link, mention @dreamlingbingo in the post or send it to us as a submission. These are due by November 15th!

We still have some final fills in our queue, but after those finish everyone's masterlists will go out and then we're completely done for the round.

Round 3 is still a ways away so we can’t make any promises on when we'll be back, but we’ll be able to confirm the schedule as we get closer to next year, so keep an eye out!

If you’re interested in some fun bingo prompt info or want to keep creating for your bingo card and have questions, keep reading!

If not, thank you for joining us.

See you next time!

——-

If you planned to keep creating for your bingo card…

The AO3 Collection for Round 2 will be left open for late entries until the end of November, but it won't qualify for badges unless it was submitted before the fill form closed.

If you plan to post something on tumblr you can drop it in the 2024 dreamling bingo tag so others can still find it. The posting guidelines aren't required for the tag so it's up to you if want to use them. :)

We're not going to be reblogging anything during our downtime, but we'll have promotional posts for the tag queued to help direct people to your work.

Keep in mind that you'll be able transfer a certain number of squares from your current card (completed or not) to your new card in Round 3 if you sign up again, but you won't be able to use previously posted work to fill the square! So be careful not to use a work you'd want to use during the next round.

Finally, nerdy stuff!

;; The Bet Dedicated to @puckmaidens for her birthday bingo

Summary: You've never been one to shy away from friendly competition or a little risk - so you bet Nico that he won't score a hat trick in his game. Little did you know that the prize you offered was the only motivation he needed. Lydia's Bingo Card Tropes: Stary Night, Hattrick, New Jersey Devils, First Kiss Other Tropes: Friends to Lovers Word Count: 1.6k+ A/N: Happy Birthday Lydia! I know you weren't expecting anything until probably a bit later since you posted your bingo a little late, and have your "deadline" set for September, but I wanted to make sure you had something to read for your special day! I hope you enjoy! 🎉

The conversation hung in the air for a moment as your fingers hesitated over the keyboard. You knew his stats better than you would ever admit to anyone. Nico Hischier had only scored 2 goals in a game twice so far that season - and only 9 total times in his career so far. Statistically, it wasn’t going to hang in his favour, but you would humour him.

You smiled to yourself. You had been friends with Nico for some time now, hell maybe even best friends would be the right word for it. The only time you weren’t talking was during a game, or while you both slept it seemed. You hung out at least once a week if his schedule allowed it, and in the off-season, the two of you got into nothing but trouble.

There was a long pause. The … on your screen indicating his typing left your heart racing. You knew he wouldn’t do it, so wagering something like that was more of a joke than anything. Hell, you didn’t expect him to agree with it at all. But then his text finally came through. Just one single word:

Your phone was silent the rest of the evening as it always was before game time. Nico had his pre-game rituals to go through and you never tried to interfere. Not even on a day when there was a little more on the line. Instead, you put your phone aside and went about your own pregame ritual. You finished up with your work and took the leisurely walk home during the peak hours of hustle and bustle in the Newerk streets. Then, when you got home you went straight into the kitchen and cooked up one of your favourite meals.

It was enough to keep you satisfied until game time when you settled into your place on the sofa with a bowl of ice cream for dessert. You drew your blanket in close, pulling it close to your body as the anthems were sung and then the game began. With mere games going into the playoff season - and the Devils expected to make their first playoff appearance in years - you had expected it to be a relaxed game. Competitive yes, but with the intention of resting certain players before what you hoped would be a long playoff run. And for the most part, you were right. The boys were looking a little more sluggish than you were used to seeing - a little more careless as they were biding time until game one of round one. But there was one player who stuck out from all the rest. 

Nico, fucking Nico, was playing as if it were game seven of the Stanley Cup Final and the trophy was about to be put into his hands. He was skating fast than you had ever seen him go, and dancing around players like he was Connor McDavid - so it didn’t surprise you when he had been the one to get the first goal on the board for Jersey. But you weren’t nervous. That was until he scored his second goal of the game before the first period could even end. He would have 40 minutes of play - 45 minutes if the game went to overtime - to score one final goal and it left your nerves so raw you didn’t even send him the menu of the restaurant you had picked out. Instead, you sent him one text you knew you wouldn’t get a reply to until well after the game was over:

You were wearing a small smile as you clicked send, placing your phone and your now empty bowl aside before you got comfortable under one of the throw blankets you kept on the couch. It was a dangerous thing, to get snuggled up beneath the blankets - and tonight was proven proof of that because you were asleep before the end of the second period. You slept through every penalty and every goal against and didn’t wake up until the game was long over and you heard a series of hollow taps against the glass of your kitchen window. 

It was a sound that left you lurching, your body in a panic as you realized the television had defaulted to the post-game screen reading; this program has ended. You cursed yourself as you pushed off the blanket, lurching for your phone to check the time. It was nearing midnight, and the NHL app had been sure to notify you that the Devils had won 5-4 in overtime, but you didn’t get the chance to check who the goal scorers were - not when the tapping on the window persisted. 

“I’m coming!” You shouted from the couch and grabbed the blanket before you scurried through to the kitchen. The kitchen window was large and opened up to the fire escape that you abused as more of a patio when the weather was nice enough. You liked to keep it decorated with plants, and quirky trinkets you would find during your time out at the shops, but in the chill of the April night there was only one thing left out on the escape, and you hadn’t left it there: Nico.

He hadn’t gone home after the game, his game-day suit still dawned on his frame jut a little less polished now as his collar was left loose and his tie had been lost in one of his pockets. 

“You could have buzzed the door Neeks!” You exclaimed as you passed the window open and took a step back to let him climb in but he didn’t do more than peak his head inside. 

“You going to come out here, or what?”

“It’s the middle of the night!” “Com’on, it’s beautiful out here,” he pulled back and offered you his hand. You used it to guide you out the window, your blanket wrapped around your shoulders like a cape to keep you from the night’s chill. It left you shivering as you looked out at the apartments across the street and up into the sky where the stars shone bright. He wasn’t wrong, it was a beautiful night. 

“You come all the way here just to star gaze, Neeks?” you spoke slowly, your eyes still trained up at the sky and how the stars glistened like glitter. 

“No, no,” Nico hummed, his hand still holding onto yours, “did you not watch the game?”

“I watched…” you started slowly, bright eyes glancing over at him as you held back a smile, “The first half. I fell asleep…”

“You missed a good game,” Nico’s smile grew as he reached into his pocket and drew out his phone, “you want to take a look at the score sheet?”

His grin was unlike one that you had ever seen. One that oozed confidence and - you squinted at him a bit - trouble it oozed trouble. “You didn’t-” Your words were broken as it hit you. He scored three!

You grabbed his phone quickly, the light illuminating your face as your scroll through the scoresheet. Hischier Hischier Thompson Tuch Jost J. Hughes Skinner Palat Hischier

“Oh my god!” You were sure you were loud enough to wake up the entire apartment block as you jumped up, your arms reaching out from beneath your blanket to wrap around the strength of his form. You not once thought what this meant for you in that moment, you were just too damn happy for him. It was the first of his career! Something worth celebrating even if it was just out on the fire escape in the middle of the night. “I’m so sorry I missed it I-”

“You doubted me?” he cocked his head at you, but he wasn’t mad. 

“Maybe a little,” you added, matching the smile that grew on his lips with your own. 

“You really underestimated how badly I’ve been wanting to do this…”

Drawing back just enough, Nico reached up with both hands. He cradled your cheeks in them, the warmth of his touch flooding over your skin. It rendered you still, your body not doing so much as breathing as he arched over and drew you into him. His lips were soft, and smooth as he eased into the kiss. The heat of his breath against your face as he kissed you slowly, gently, just enough to lull you into the idea that kissing him was something you liked a lot more than you could have anticipated. And not only did you let him kiss you, but you were also kissing him in return, your hands coming up to clutch the stretched fabric of his button-down as your lips parted just to get a taste of him. 

When he pulled back, your cheeks were red hot with blush and your gaze cast up at the sky in an attempt to hide just how much you had enjoyed it - but her must have liked it too because he was still willing to hold up his end of the bet even if you had lost, “I’m still going to take you out to dinner, but not as some sort of consolation prize-”

And you just smiled up at him, your body leaning into his as you both admired the night, “it’s a date.”

[ratatatastic]

oh wacking our goalie whilst they have the puck under their pad into the goal DEATH. DEATH TO ALL. PERSECUTE THAT CRIMINAL IMMEDIATELY FOR THEY HAVE NO LOVE IN THEIR HEART

i love how stevie is the only who (at least at first we will get to that lmao) stays with bobby and blocks him off from being skated near to meanwhile stenny is absolutely ripping into brown for wacking bob and okie and oel join him quickly (okie picks henrique and oel tries to get kulak off the stenny brown scuffle while kuli engages janmark

stenny and brown continue their special little hugfest, kulak grapples oel and broberg scruffs oel and thats a 2 on 1 thats no good so stevie to the rescue! henrique and okie ofc are just witnessing the carnage while they tenderly hold each other its beautiful i love old men who are in fact a little too old for this

no one asked but the median age of all the players present in this onice scrum (including bobby) is 30.8 or 31 years old if we round up which isnt bad or too terribly old thats a decent average but i do love calling them old i love retirement home fights on bingo night and as i say this theres also a 14 year old age gap between the youngest player in the scrum (broberg at 22) and the oldest player in the scrum (okie at 36) so isnt that fun

also the most represented nationality is tied 4 a piece at 🇨🇦 and 🇸🇪 so isnt that something as well

we love dumb stats like this

love how both stevie and okie start slowly creeping over to oels side to start to break it up because oel lost his helmet and keeps getting punched and yeah thats been going on for a while can we help him

and somehow someway stevie is successful in getting kulak but the IMMEDIATE SECOND he does janmark escapes from kuli (how does that happen? not shown on the espn telecast but on the sportsnet telecast kuli throws a punch on janmark and a linesman seperates kuli from him but for some reason lets janmark alone? so that means hes already sprinting over to the scrum on the other side of the crease and grapples oel from behind)

im sorry but whatever happenings between janmark and oel is certainly something mooooommmmm the swedes are fighting againnn

stevie are gentlemanly strong man <3 rip to kulak and broberg trying their absolute best to get stevie to let go off them get scruffed idiots

he is like atlas holding up the weight of the world upon his shoulders absolutely unmovable

also frantic dad okie in the background dragging henrique with him because hes trying to help stevie ah its all a cycle also shoutout to stenny and kuli being escorted by refs because yeah. those are two that need to be babysat by the refs and not whatever the hell stevie is being subjected to

when your omega is going through scent withdrawal and has reverted to a feral state and starts hissing at you (you are their mate you are trying to "look at me look at me baby this isnt you" them)

In February, 28 amazing participants created 50 glorious fills, 47 of which are listed for your delight below (as part of our new-and-improved fill submission form, we're now allowing people to opt out of us linking their work on tumblr, hence there being some not included here).

Of those 47 fills, 41 are fics, three are artworks, and then there's a single gif, a podfic, and an overachieving fic/moodboard combo!

How about ships? Well, we're starting out unusual this year, with more shipless works than Merlin/Arthur ones. Sure, with 19 gen works and 18 merthur ones, it's not a big difference, but it feels noteworthy anyway. In terms of the rarer pairings, we've got a few that show up pretty often on the bingo round ups (Gwen/Morgana and Merlin/Lancelot with two, Merlin/Gwaine, Gwen/Lancelot, Arthur/Gwen and Uther/Ygraine all with one), and then two that are far less common than they deserve to be (Elyan/Gwaine and Elyan/Leon, both with a single fill).

As you know, the February/March bonus badge theme is crossovers and fandom fusions - so far we've had five people claim the badge, and hopefully plenty more will in the next month!

Now, stats listed, it's time for the main event - the fills themselves! As always, these are below the cut, sorted by ship and then by rating. Please remember to heed the warnings, and to shower the creators all the love they deserve!

Hi! I’m Goldeye, the server owner of The Writer’s Block and one of the event runners for the ongoing TWB Minecraft Championships. 

We’ve just finished Round One: Hole in the Wall! Every day, a list of prompts was posted for participants. They had 24 hours to post a fic written from the daily prompt list! Participants won points by word count and by maintaining their streak every day. 

The event runners are absolutely blown away by the excitement that we see for this event. Participants wrote over 200,000 words on Day 1 alone! 

You can also see an additional breakdown of the daily and event-long prompts here.

Check out the event AO3 collection here to see what participants have written.

If you have any questions about these stats, shoot a message to my ask, or ping me in TWB! 

Round Two is Bingo, which will begin at midnight PST tonight. Sign-ups to join TWB’s MCC event will open on the 3rd of July.

Writing Reflection

After I got back into writing fic this year it was something I really enjoyed all throughout this year. I discovered a bunch of fun challenges and servers, met many lovely people (sadly all online) and learned a lot. I have hyperfocused a lot, especially in the summer and I collected a boatload of prompts I would like to fill in the coming year.

I have a lot of fics already planned for the next year. There will be a lot of feels, fluff and angst/whump alike and I hope I can keep the run I had this year going.

A big thank you to everyone who supported me along the way, be it with ducking/spaghettiing fic ideas, sprinting with me, participating in challenges, commenting, sharing or even just reading and liking my fics. You folks mean the world to me and I love every single one of you. Take care and remember, as long as you do what you love you get a good grade in fandom <3

And that's a wrap!

Congratulations everybody, you survived the 2023 Dreamling Bingo! That's right, you made it to the end and you didn't even get a T-shirt. Boooo.

We had a lot of fun watching the last minute fills coming in and we were definitely rooting for all of you as we got closer to midnight. (It was pretty much us just going "You're at 24, you're so close! C'MOOON!!" LOL) We were also really excited how many of you got into the bingo spirit!

If anyone ran into technical difficulties or anything else that prevented you from submitting your fills, please reach out to us ASAP.

In the meantime, We. Are. Done! WOOHOO!! Thank you to all of you for making this year successful, we absolutely couldn't have done it without you! Even if you never even started your card, we're still glad you took an interest.

So what happens next?

Right now we're taking your masterposts! These are completely optional but are a great way to show off everything you completed. Just send us a message with the link to your post (or tag us) and we'll put it in our queue so they can run once all the other posts are finished.

If you're not sure what a masterlist is, check out this template for reference. If you want to make one but don't have a tumblr you can always submit a post.

The due date for masterposts has been pushed back to August 12th! Hopefully this will give everyone more time to wind down. <3

We're sending an email to all participants with a list of the bingo fills we received from you. Let us know if everything is good to go by August 12th. If we don't hear from you by this time we'll assume everything's fine and will get started on your badges. :) If you want them faster just get back to us ASAP so we can get started! :D

We'll have another follow up post soon with fun things like stats, a general idea for Round 2 and anything else we might have missed. While you wait, just sit back, relax and enjoy the bingo fills!

Thank you again to everyone for making this such a fun event!

i don’t watch a lot of things so don’t take any of these recs too seriously haha

game #3: receiptify

tagged by @summerwave​ 💝

rules: just run your spotify or whatever you have to stream music through this thing: https://receiptify.herokuapp.com/

i guess most people just share last month but i have spotify and last.fm and i like to overshare data so you’re getting it all oops. spotify first

i’m pretty sure i only listened to #10 twice? but the rest make sense. where’s newjeans though i was definitely listening to them

oh wow that’s just embarrassing

now artists!

son lux is only on there because i listened to the everything everywhere all at once soundtrack and there were a lot of songs on it. and i only listened to youngboy’s album one time? but the rest is probably accurate

i listened to so much all time low before i heard about the jack barakat stuff :/

now genres!

i am also assuming escape room art pop and boom bap have something to do with the everything everywhere all at once soundtrack because i have no idea what those are

now...”stats”

sorry every time i just see random numbers without units i just think about this

anyway...now lastfm!

oh look at that an opportunity for me to plug the greng jai piece! if you want the ability to pretend you don’t have mental illness for 30 minutes this is the album for you

yeah so...indigo and i have developed a very special relationship over the past few weeks...like i said before i have been Going Through It™

okay so just to put this in perspective, rattlesnake was my second most listened to song during ALL of 2022. it came out in january of last year. indigo has only been out for TWO MONTHS. and still life is tied.

tagging in case any of these games interest you, no pressure: @courtthisdisaster​​, @cheekyquokka​​, @mutedstring​​, @joon-rkive​​, @sugaggukkie​​

2022 AO3 Wrapped

Saw this going around, so I thought to give it a try. I wanted to see what I accomplished this year. :)

Works Published: 121! (A few are still anon and won't be revealed till next year and I still have a few more to publish before the year is out.)

Word Count: 76,397 (As a drabble writer, this word count astonishes me.)

Hits: ---- (I'm not changing my site skin to stare at my total stats. It will not be good for me, personally.)

Bookmarks: ---- (Same as above. The only thing that's displayed on my stats page is word count, which yay! About to hit that 100k mark!)

Most Popular by Kudos: "I'm in. I'm all in." (Harry Potter, Snarry) My Snarry-a-Thon fic!

Most Hits: Colours (Harry Potter, Snarry)

Longest: "I'm in. I'm all in." (Harry Potter, Snarry) & Devotion (SK8 the Inifinity, Matchablossom) is my number 2!

Shortest: A shout-out to all my 100 words drabbles! There are 23 of them and that's way too many for me to list. lol

Most Comments: I'm in. I'm all in." (Harry Potter, Snarry) and in 2nd place - Warmth (Harry Potter, Snarry)

Fic that made me cry: Hmmm. None of the fics I wrote made me cry. Mostly cause I worried too much about editing and writing the fic than fully immersing myself into the emotions I'm evoking. If I have to choose, I choose Dragons (Harry Potter, Charlie/Severus).

Fic that made me smile: On the Precipice (SK8 the Infinity, Matchablossom). It gives me warm fuzzy feelings.

Gifts: King Severus (Harry Potter, Snarry) is a bedtime story for Coconutice22. I also wrote some ficlets based on her prompts - Coffee Cake (Harry Potter, Snarry) & Lava Cake (Harry Potter, Snarry). I wrote Microwaving Potions (Harry Potter, Snarry) after a discussion with her, Likelightinglass and DandelionConstellation. Two HP Halloween 2022 treats for DandelionConstellation - New Beginnings (Harry Potter, Snarry) & Reverence (Harry Potter, Snarry). And one for ragdoll for the same exchange - Biscuits and Icing (Harry Potter, Luna/Ginny).

Events: In chronological order - House of Snarry's Valentine's event, Snarry-a-Thon 2022, Domaystic 2022, Microfic May 2022, HP Flowers Spring Round, House of Snarry's Snarry Chain Game, Liquid Luck Never Have I Ever Challenge, Kojiro Nanjo Week 2022, House of Snarry's Harry Potter Birthday Drabble event, Snarry AUctoberfest 2022, HP Flowers Autumn Round, HP Halloween 2022, Liquid Luck Roll The Dice Challenge: Winter Edition, SK8 Shorts Week 2022, Adventdrabbles, New Year's Countdown, Secret Snarry Swap 2022, HFPC Holiday Bingo 2022.

Coming in 2023: A few Harry Potter fests and SK8 reverse bangs in the next few months! Continue what I'm doing and hopefully write a long-ish fic (or two!)

Tagging: I feel awkward in tagging people, so if you happen to come across this post and want to participate, go ahead! I want to read about what you accomplished this year! Which fic brought you joy? Have any you are super, duper proud of? You made words happened, and that's already an accomplishment in my books! <3
