Cottoncandy Bingo

Below is my second card for [community profile] cottoncandy_bingo. This fest encourages people to create and share material focused on what is variously called fluff, schmoop, gentle fiction, light reading, comfort reading, positive thinking, chicken soup for the soul, or anything else that offers a fun alternative to usual run of sex, violence, and angst of modern media. It's open to all fandoms plus original content, and all kinds of material. Read the FAQ and rules here.

I had a great time filling my first card. I've written something for every square, although not quite all of them have been posted as of tonight. I've picked up at least a couple new readers and gotten some great inspiration. So I decided to continue the exercise.

And, shiny new idea! People are starting to show interest in specific prompts as the new cards have gone up. If you'd like to sponsor a particular square, especially if you have an idea for what character, series, or situation it would fit -- talk to me and we'll work something out.  I'll still post some of the fills for free, because I'm using this to attract new readers; but if it brings in money, that means I can do more of it.  That's part of why I'm crossing some of the bingo prompts with other projects, such as the Poetry Fishbowl.

Underlined prompts have been filled.

Row 1: 2 poems, 2 stories, 1 image set (World Walkers: Quiar, Schrodinger's Heroes, Torn World, Incredible Hulk, BBC Sherlock, His Dark Materials)
Row 2: 2 poems, 1 story (standalone, Hart's Farm, Schrodinger's Heroes, BBC Sherlock)
Row 3: 2 stories, 2 poems (Schrodinger's Heroes, Incredible Hulk, Smallville, Star Trek: The Original Series)
Row 4: 3 stories (Schrodinger's Heroes, BBC Sherlock, The Avengers)
Row 5: 4 poems, 1 story (P.I.E., Fledgling Grace, Schrodinger's Heroes, BBC Sherlock)
