Competition » Contest: Generation 5 Bingo Contest! · 9:20pm Sep 18th, 2021
As the new generation approaches, some things stay the same. Like contests. Check this one out!
Are you ready to make history? To write one of the first G5 fics on the site?
This writing contest has an unusual premise: each author gets a different prompt.
Prompt cards look a bit like this.Authors who sign up will be privately sent a prompt card with five random ideas that could be characters, places, items, or abstract concepts. They then try to write a story incorporating those five ideas.
Rules
There are 300 places available. Enter by commenting here or on my blog post.
Stories should be published on Fimfiction, follow all site rules, and be up to 10,000 words long. Your story should incorporate at least two of the ideas from your prompt card, and up to all five if possible.
Your random prompt is final. No second chances!
Stories will be judged on how well the judges enjoyed them, how well they incorporated the five ideas on their card, and on correct use of English.
We also need judges and editors to help produce the best results. Volunteers are welcome for both positions.
Full details available on this blog post.

I've been joining a lot of contests lately.
I'm gonna join this one too. I've been thinking a lot about gen 5 lately.
This is going to be... interesting. Good thing I have netflix so I can see g5 when it comes out.
Yeah, sign me up.
Alright. Maybe I’ll be inspired by the prompt. Let’s do this!
Sounds interesting I'll try.
I’m up for it. I need to get back to writing.
Can't wait for another bingo contest, let's do it!
Count me in
I'll see what I can do.
Put me in, Coach!
Yeah, I going to give a try on this contest.
I never do contest before… so this will be my first time.
Count me in, please.
Yeah, I'd like to give this a try.
Sure, I guess I'm for giving this a try.
Count me in chief
Oh, why not. That's a timeframe that even I should be able to deliver on, and I am somewhat curious about G5. Let's give it a whirl.
You know what, let me see what I can do. That means I'll join.
I mean, heck. I was probably gonna try and write one, anyway. Count me in!
Sounds interesting. + random is great. Count me in
With that timeframe, I may even be able to make up my mind on a thousand words, count me in!
That's 50 places taken now, out of 300.
Ooooh I'd be happy to join ^^
Color me intrigued.
I'm in, if I've still got a chance. Bless RNJesus for showing me this thread only a day late. Also, the date of the movie is a bit off.

Do you pray to RNJesus too?
Hahaha I haven't heard that term since I swore off gatcha games two years ago
Yes plz
I'll give this a try. I'm sure with that kind of time period I could come up with something, hopefully.
Well, I won’t be able to watch the movie for a little bit... but I’ve already cut my teeth on G5 writing, so I’m game for more once I have some source material to work with.
If there’s still space, I’m game.
Sure, hit me.
I'll join =)
Having seen the post-apocalyptic horror on offer in Gen 5, I'm ready to dive into Hell nose-first once again, so sign me up!
sounds fun, I'm ready to join
The movie was impressive, with plenty of possibilities for character expansion (which might not survive when G5 episodes show up, but fun regardless). Please send me a contest prompt.
Why am I just seeing this now?? Sounds fun, sign me up!
Eh why not I'll sign up.
I'll give it a shot.
Count me in! Sounds like a blast
Might as well revitalize my brain. I'm in.
I'm excited for this. I can't wait to get my prompt.
Sign me up!
I've jotted down enough of my own G5 headcanons to fill months' worth of writing already, but what the hay, toss a crazy one onto the top of the pile.
Throwin' my fin into the ring. 🦈
The first contest entry is in already!
I’m gonna join!

i dont suppose you could clarify what 'up to 10,000' means. A maximum, or should it be in a similar range close to 10,000?
5622662
Anything between 1000 words (the site minimum) and 10,000 (the contest maximum)
