do you think it’s bad / immoral for people who still want to write 5kz fics rn? /gen seeing your post just made me nervous that maybe we should wait to post longer idk
I think thats something only you can decide. Do whatever you think reflects ur stance best and what you think is needed to boycott what the boys are currently doing. ⭐️

is it okay if we still want to write our fics as 5kz whenever we get back to them?
yes ofc!!! the new rule is just an addition for those who /dont/ currently want to tag their works with 5kz but still want to participate in the bingo.

hi I'm reading your answers to other questions here and you said "The only important thing is that the focus is on a sapphic character" which got me thinking. does it mean its acceptable to write a f x m relationship if the girl is bi/pan? to be clear I wouldn't write/draw a straight relationship for a sapphic event just because but focusing on exploring a sapphic experience in a hetero relationship sounds like an option in this case. Either way I'm just asking out of curiosity
no it is not acceptable to write m x f i. this event.
If i remember correctly the part you mentioned was written followed by the example of a member-focused fic w/o romance/sex. if you write a fic about eg crime/horror with just friendships then ofc not all characters have to be sapphic, just the main one. however "ship" fics / any creative work including a main romantic/sexual/queer relationship has to be sapphic. ⭐️

hiiii, I submitted my request quite a while ago, but haven’t received my card. It isn’t in any of my spam folders, so I’m just wondering what I should do? So sorry for the inconvenience 😭
Please send us a message via dm so we can check what happened ⭐️

why did u put tropes u dont know about or take the time to understand/research in the event?
Im not sure what exactly you want to say here but we added all the tropes the very participants of this event /wanted/ to be added. so we did. The tropes people have specifically asked about i have looked up and tried to relay whatever /i/ have understood about said trope. but unfortunately im not an all-knowing entity ☺️
Plus, personally i think every trope/au/imagery can have multiple interpretations, no? This is a creativity event. So theres a range of things you may create with a given trope, thats the fun of it :]
+ If you dont like a certain trope you got can get it rerolled, if you're unhappy with one?

i'm a little confusing about the 'murder wives' trope. is this about killing eve? because when i searched it that was all i got. or is it kinda like mr. and mrs. smith?
personally i thought this was just about like.. two wives/partners who murder together? But i'd say its a bit open to interpretation so you can get creative with the tag :] if ur too unsure about it feel free to dm us what outline u have in mind and we can give u the green light. ⭐️

hii just wanted to ask because i saw some bingos doing it and others don't
will this bingo have a collection to post/gather all works? or will it be totally free and we just have to tag you?
hii yess we do have a collection, our ao3 has the same name as out twitter. heres the link for this rounds bingo collection: https://archiveofourown.org/collections/SapphicBingo_R1/profile

hai hai! i’m sorry if you had said this before and i missed it, but do you have an ao3 account to tag when we publish work? (the part where it says if it’s part of a series or challenges)
hii, heres the link to our collection: https://archiveofourown.org/collections/SapphicBingo_R1/profile ⭐️

hi! 2 questions: how does the free space work in our cards, do we pick another trope we used in our works but wasn’t originally in the card to consider it filled? And how do we count points, are there shapes we have to fill to get extra points? Thanks! 🌟
hi!!:] every creator can add any 1 trope per bingo card on their free space and have it count just like the other tropes. So if you write sth with mermaids but dont have mermaids on your board you may use that as ur free space.
Info on the point system + special patterns can be found in our carrds FAQ section towards the bottom! If you have any more questions dont hesitate to ask ⭐️

would it be possible to make the main couple sapphic, but keep other members in the story as guys?
yess!! Thats possible. The only important thing is that the focus is on a sapphic character. You could even write a member-centric fic with only platonic relationships / focus on action/horror/crime etc. instead of romance.
As long as the main character is sapphic or the main pairing is sapphic everything goes. :] ⭐️

this may sound silly, but is "swords" referring to real swords or cocks? please help me😔
hi!!! i didn't even think about that connotation tbh. "swords" means actual real swords (or paper/plastic if u wanna write about larping/cosplays etc) ⭐️

what is the difference between Choking and Asphyxiation
choking is just that, the action of choking involves someone /obstructing/ the airway (eg squeezing the neck). whereas asphyxiation is a more general term describing a deprivation of oxygen to the body! this can include strangulation, drowning, suffocation,.. A lot of times this term is used in instances where the bloodflow to the brain is stopped/decreased. choking doesn't necessarily have to involve the cutting off of the bloodstream. Hope this could help ⭐️
