Cottoncandy Bingo Card 6-1-16

Once upon a time, there was a lovely community called [community profile] cottoncandy_bingo. It hasn't been active since 2014. So I launched a fest over on [community profile] allbingo using the same set of prompts from the last round. These prompts angle toward upbeat content, although creators can do whatever they want with them. 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. (See all my 2016 bingo cards.)

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've had a few requests for this and the results have been awesome so far. This is a good opportunity for those of you with favorites that don't always mesh well with the themes of my monthly projects. I may 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.

I can't even recall what my login credentials are, but this is Mishie - I'd love to sponsor "the little things" box - what is the price?

>> I can't even recall what my login credentials are, but this is Mishie - I'd love to sponsor "the little things" box <<

Woohoo!

>> what is the price? <<

Depends on what you want. Typical prices for poetry:

0-10 lines: $5
11-25 lines: $10
26-40 lines: $15
41-60 lines: $20
Poems over 60 lines: $.50/line

Poetry or prose is usually $.03/word.

You give me a price/size range and an idea where you'd like that prompt to go. For poetry you can specify a form if you wish -- some of those have a specific line count.

>>I'm more on Facebook than here these days<<

I have FB but rarely visit my page anymore.

Where would I like it to go... hm.

Sometimes, when I am overwhelmed and crabby I go read the archives of this blog

http://summerharms.blogspot.com/2008/10/

because it's all about the little things.

And sometimes... I go to my own blog, and I post about.. the little things.

http://mishieloves.typepad.com/blog/2016/01/the-book-stamp.html

But what I like is something evocative. Homey. Detailed. This is what it's like. I like your yard posts. I like Little House on the Prairie bc those books are like that.

Well dang it I tried leaving a comment and it didn't show up - I can't recall how to log in here.

Anyway, this is Mishie and I wanted to sponsor the "Little things" square. Not sure of the price so I just sent you $15 via PP, as that's what I have. We shall see what that gets...
