The alien-human mischief from this post continues in this sequel!

As the party unfolds, Kyle reprimands Rosa for spiking the drinks. Clearly, she's not thrilled. However, his problems are just beginning. Remember Maria and Isobel's UFO conjuring spell earlier? It worked a little too well. But, aside from Jenna, everyone is oblivious to the uninvited guests. The question is: what happens next? 👽🛸

Rules

Comments must be posted between Jan 14th and February 14th, 2023 (inclusive) to count toward a winning bingo card and prize drawing eligibility. All bingo cards must be submitted by tagging this account before midnight (anywhere in the world) on February 14th.

Every square must have a different work. Multiple submissions of Bingo cards (for example, line and star) may include repeat works.

Individual users, not bingo boards, will be entered into the prize drawing, so multiple board submissions count as new/additional Recs but don't count as more entries into the drawing.

Comments must be on Roswell New Mexico, RNM RPF, OG Roswell or Roswell High works. Crossovers with any of these are eligible. The works you read may be on any platform (AO3, Tumblr, Fanfiction.net, etc.) Comment Bingo is not limited to text works only! Feel free to comment on art, gif sets, meta, etc.!

Completed submissions must:

Include an image of or a link to your completed card

Include links to all the works you mention so we can spot-check your submissions

Include your handle that you commented under (i.e., we don’t know that sparklecentaur57 on AO3 is echo5vr on Tumblr, so help us out)

Mention us @rnmbingo

Use the tag #rnmbingo23 or #rnmbingo

Non-Tumblr users also: include a way to contact you if you win one of the prizes (email or discord handle)

Limit one prize per person. Participants are entered into the drawing for prizes at the end of the event, so multiple submissions does not grant you extra entries.

All winners will be announced no later than February 18th, 2023.

Questions? Check our answered asks, some of our how to bingo posts, or message @rnmbingo on Tumblr.

Please signal boost this event beyond Tumblr. Anyone reading this is welcome to re-use these bingo cards or borrow the idea for other fandoms.
