hi! for the mini bingo should we write something for the free space or can we just score it out?
hi! if you write something for the free space (this means, you can use it as inspiration [outfit wise, or scenery wise, and others], canon compliant / divergence, or anything else) it will count +10 points.
if you don’t want to use it, then you may count it as a free space with no problems, but it will not count any extra points
is it okay to write a poly ship that has beomkai in it?
hello~ we love polyships, but we hope the works for this event are solely beomkai-focused! so, for now, not really, we don't accept beomkai-polyships 🥲 but if you really want to write that polyship and join a fest, we invite you to join the upcoming @txtpolyfest!!! they start in november and i am pretty sure it's gonna be super fun!🍓
would you still promote (like/rt) fanworks even after the fest ends? tyia
absolutely yes! we will be retweeting even after the creation period is over.
having a “deadline” is mostly for point tracking, but we will be retweeting and liking as usual after tracking ends—though, if you were to post your work after the highest scores reveal (june 23rd, 2023), we invite you to tag @gobeomkai so we don't miss out your work, since we likely won’t check the event hashtag that often anymore.
this applies to mini bingo events too! 🍓
i'm wondering if it's possible to give you an email instead of a twitter @ ? if that's not possible, it's okay <3
hello! our event wishes that everyone is able to find all works easily scrolling through our hashtag, this is also very useful for us, the mods, to keep track of every entry, as well as making sure all entries and creators can get exposure to a new audience at all times, so we manage everything on social media.
i am guessing you might want to just post on the ao3 collection to keep anonymity, which is totally valid!
if your concern is anonymity, you may add a twitter username + anonymous (or any pseud you’d like) so we know to not display your twitter username and instead use the pseudonym you provide.
if you do not have a twitter account and happened to find this event through any other social media, you can perfectly send through the form “someone else’s username + ‘pseud’/anonymous” so we can send your card.
if you do decide to go ahead with our previous suggestions:
knowing that you won’t be posting your works on twitter, i hope it’s clear we won’t be able to retweet them and they won’t be searchable through the tag for people to discover them in the future.
knowing that we can’t keep track of your entries and card if you don’t post on twitter, you will necessarily have to upload your card to our “finished card submission form” when you are done with it so we can count your points.
if points are not a concern or incentive of yours, then no problems! you can totally forget of the point above.
if you think there’s another way we can help you, let us know! but we don’t own a mail account for this event as of now.
we still hope you are able to join and play with us! have an awesome day 🍓
how does point tracking work?
every time you submit a work we:
count how many new squares have been marked (you get one point per slot)
check if you have any bingos (horizontal, vertical, and diagonal count for 5 points. border, x, and cross count for 8 points)
the moment you get a bingo or four unrelated squares marked, you may stop using your card, but if your goal is a blackout (all squares crossed) then your points are doubled, and you will get a total of 146 points.
this means that, for a blackout, we count every possible bingo in your card + all marked slots:
this will give you a total of 73 points, but since you have a blackout your points are doubled, and your final total score is 146. 🍓
hi hi! can i post multiple prompts in one bingo slot?
Hello! Can I still join the beomkai Halloween bingo even if its the Oct 3 now?
you totally can! our halloween bingo event runs all month, and you can request for your card until the very last day.
if you were to request your card until the last day of the event (november 2nd) and submitted your entries that very day, your points still count. however, you can submit your work the days after the event ends, but we won't be counting your points!
let’s enjoy creating regardless! we hope you join the game 🍓
is it possible to combine the squares in the beomkai halloween bingo?
You guys are the coolest
hello admins what happens when you dont finish your card on november 2?
nothing really happens, my friend!
you can keep using the hashtag to tag your entries even if you post them out of time (after november 2nd), but we won’t be counting your points for the halloween mini event anymore.
[whispers] which is totally fine, points are not really that important... unless you want them to be, then be our guest!
but remember that you can finish your halloween mini bingo card with four squares or one bingo... a blackout (filling all squares) is not necessary at all.
we hope you have fun, and that your creativity can be sparked through these little games and the bunch of prompts we will be providing you with.
have the most amazing time creating, and good luck! 🍓
hello mods! what if we want to join the mini bingo event but would only want to do fanarts instead of written works?
you are very welcome to fill your card with any type of fanwork you desire! your card can be filled with fanart, fanfic (ao3/twitter drabbles), video or photo edits, and any other kind of media you can imagine, create, and post to share within the timeframe.
this means you can fill your prompts with a different type of fanwork every time, or all with the same type of media: writers might only submit written works, fanartists might only submit fanart, editors might only submit edits. of course, none of them are limited to their respective type of fanwork, but it’s always up to the creators!
this applies for all future mini events, and the main bingo event.
have a wonderful time creating! 🍓
hello admins! i just want to ask if there is a specific day to post your works for the bingo?
hello i just found out abt this and im a little confused T T where when and how do we get the bingo cards? is it before the event starts?
hello~ you will be able to request your personalized bingo card on october 21st through a google form we will be making available for you.
you’ll be providing us a twitter username of your preference while answering the card request form, and your card will be sent through twitter dms.
if you request the 21st, we’ll be sending your card the 22nd, and you can start creating from that day until next year! (you can check our schedule). but you can request a card any day as long as the card requests are open.
if you have further questions and you can’t find the answer anywhere in our carrd (https://gobeomkai.carrd.co) or the information is still unclear, do send another question our way! 🍓
hi im so sorry, I'm @minchojjun and found out I'm blocked (my friend qrted you) and I was wondering if there was a reason why, or if I got caught in a blockchain? id love to take part in the bingo :(
hello
there's nothing to be sorry about from your side. our intention was to create a safe space for everyone by running a blockchain (we've excluded you from it already, so you'll have no more problems in the future), and we apologize for you getting mistakenly caught by it.
thank you for letting us know, and have fun playing! 🍓
