Happy May! This month we have a Greek myth themed fest, with three sets of prompts: gods and their domains, themes/motifs/ideas, and adaptations. (My keyboard is Struggling at present, so I apologize if there's any mistakes anywhere! 😅) Remember the fills you create don't actually have to be in the Greek myth fandom or any adaptations you may get on your card. See you early next month for achievement banners. :) For reference, here's the bingo card generator and the allbingo AO3 collection.

How long have you belonged to this community? What attracted you to it? How often do you play?

I'm not exactly sure when I joined, but I joined specifically to help Vexed_Wench host the first round of Winterfest in July (then called Christmas in July Bingo) in 2014. Vexed made creative bingo sound really fun and I liked how we could do fills with anything of any medium and make our own cards. I honestly try to play every month, but I'm lucky if I make one bingo a year. I do cohost two reoccurring bingos a year, though (Winterfest in July and Fall Fest).

What do you like best about creative bingo? Do you feel that it helps you as a creative person?

I like how it's a different way to present creative prompts, a bit like a chose your own adventure book, or a table with extra gamification. I like creative bingo at allbingo specifically because of how open to interpretation and open ended possibilities of what kind of fills you can do. I think it helps me as a creative person. The different themes everyone comes up with helps spark ideas I wouldn't have had otherwise.

What are some of your favorite bingo themes? Are those single events, recurring, or a mix of both?

Aside from themes I've hosted/,co-hosted, my favorite themes have been (they are a mix of single events and reoccurring):
Valentines Fest
Tolkien Bingo Fest
British Library Crime Classics
National Craft Month
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Pride Bingo
Sleepy Bear Bingo
Amnesty
Meet-Ugly Fest
Tarot Fest
Summer in December

Do you participate in other bingo communities? If so, what are some of your favorites?

Not really anymore. Pretty much all of them I used to participate in have shut down. I do enjoy whatif_au's annual anniversary bingo challenge. This is their 3rd year. The round goes from April until the end of July.

Do you typically create fills in the same format or fandom, or spread them out over different kinds? What will readers find in your work?

I used to do primarily crafts, but now do more fics. It's still a mix. One bingo, I did all book rec lists for fills and I've done playlists for fills too. I do write for a large variety of fandoms and original fiction, but you are most likely to find short ficlets for Stargate SG-1, Stargate Atlantis, Supernatural, or Batman.

Have you ever made blackout (filled all the prompts on a card)? If so, how many times?

Yes, I have, usually only when I have a 2x2 card. I don't know how many times. It's been more than once, but it's not the norm.

Have you ever hosted a bingo fest here? If so, what was your favorite theme(s)? If not, what themes might you fantasize about hosting?

I have and do! I co-host the reoccurring Winterfest in July (since 2014) and Fall Fest Bingo (since 2015) with Vexed_Wench. I also hosted End of Summer Bingo in 2019 and co-hosted iPod Shuffle Music Fest with Kiramaru7 in 2016.

Three Weeks for Dreamwidth is a celebration of the platform's anniversary, running April 25-May 15. During this time, people post content only visible on Dreamwidth (although it can be reposted elsewhere after the event ends). There's usually a flurry of activity as bloggers share anchor posts, new fiction, icons, banners, questionnaires, friending fests, memes, and other goodies. Community hosts often hold special activities in their communities too. Watch your reading page for more festivities.

Firstly, hello! I'm new to the comm.

Nearly three years ago now, I stumbled upon an Instagram reel that suggested you write down one good thing that happened to you every week on a piece of paper, and collect them in a jar. I thought this was such a lovely idea, so I naturally took it one step higher: I was going to write down one good thing that happened to me every day, in a journal.

Surprisingly, I've maintained this consistently for over two years, since the start of 2024. I'm the queen of never following through with my ideas/ambitions.

Naturally, the idea has evolved into its own thing. I generally write down something that made me happy in the day, if even just a little bit. I typically ask myself, "what am I grateful for today?" The answers don't have to be deep or philosophical, they can be (and often are) as simple as "the weather was nice."

On the surface, I know the sound of "gratitude journaling" can sound corny and even useless, but this has genuinely become an important part of my daily routine. It feels even cornier to admit that, when I truly reflect on it, this has positively affected my thinking as a whole. Apparently taking a moment to reflect on your day and pick out the happier parts does, in fact, do something!

A quick sampling of "answers" I've written down:

* Finished book, found a really cool sonic comic

* New intern was at work

* Had a BOMB ass nap

* The sunset was BEAUTIFUL!!!!!

* Got on my computer finally and did some Tumblr editing

* Dinner was yummy soup & grilled cheese

These are all short ones. Sometimes I list a couple of things if my day was eventful.

I find that on more "boring" days, I struggle to find something truly "good." Since on these "boring" days I typically have done nothing out of the ordinary. On eventful days, I have a plethora of things to write down. I even find it easier to find something to write down on crummy days, since the happier parts are more shiny and sparkly against a backdrop of grey.

I want to leave this off with an encouragement to try this for just one week to see if it works for you. I started it because it sounded fun and very, very simple—and it is! I also had a journal I needed to do something with. I wasn’t considering the positive impact it would have on me in the long term—so don't expect this to be some miracle ritual, if you're anything like me. Anyway, try it out and see if the routine fits comfortably into your schedule.

Happy Wednesday!

I'm taking search offline sometime today to upgrade the server to a new instance type. It should be down for a day or so -- sorry for the inconvenience. If you're curious, the existing search machine is over 10 years old and was starting to accumulate a decade of cruft...!

Also, apparently these older machines cost more than twice what the newer ones cost, on top of being slower. Trying to save a bit of maintenance and cost, and hopefully a Wednesday is okay!

Edited: The other cool thing is that this also means that the search index will be effectively realtime afterwards... no more waiting a few minutes for the indexer to catch new content.
