2024 SEPTEMBER - BINGO

[peppermint_shamrock]

Apologies for the delay, but welcome to the next challenge of the Lyrical Titles community! It will run September through December, though entries will be accepted later.

The challenge this time is bingo, using song lyrics as titles according to the prompts on generated bingo cards. This is a low-stakes, personal challenge, of course; there's no penalty for not finishing or running late.

Edit: I have created an AO3 collection for this event! I know with the previous event there were some issues where the collection would not come up automatically in AO3's collection field, but if you use the full name of the collection (LyricalTitlesBingo2024) it should work fine even if you need to manually type in the whole thing.

Prompts:
The following are the prompts that the bingo card will be generated from. Let me know down below if you want a card, and if you want any prompts specifically excluded from it (a card needs a minimum of 24 prompts, but that's the only limit on number of exclusions). Feel free to request a new card at any time through December 2024, even if you've already received one.

Rules, Guidelines, and FAQ:

All works must be your own and not previously posted.
All works must use either the title of a song or a portion of its lyrics as the work title.
Works have a minimum wordcount of 100 words.
Please indicate the song title and artist in each entry for this challenge. You're not required to link to the song, but feel free to do so if you want!
Work text should be under a cut or linked offsite. Please indicate any warnings in your post.
You can begin working on the fics at any time, but please don't post them until September.

What kind of works are allowed?

All fandoms and original work are allowed. Works must be your own and not previously posted, but do not need to be exclusive to this event - they can also be used as entries for concurrent events. This is a writing focused event, and there is a minimum wordcount of 100 words, and no maximum wordcount.

How many fics do I need to write?

For a bingo, 5 prompts in a line (horizontal, vertical, or diagonal). You can do more if you like, or even go for a blackout (all 25 prompts).

Do the songs/lyrics I pick need to be in English?/Can I translate non-English lyrics?

You can use songs from any language (aside from the "Song in a language other than English" prompt). Titles/Lyrics may be in their original language, or you may translate them if you wish. For that matter, works can be in any language as well.

Do the lyrics need to be incorporated into the work? 

No, this event is focused on titles, lyrics do not need to be used in the work itself.

What counts as a "Meme song"?

Any song that's used as a meme (past or current), such as "Never Gonna Give You Up" - Rick Astley, "Angel" - Sarah McLachlan, "All Star" - Smash Mouth, etc. Basically, if there's a "Know Your Meme" page for it, you can consider it a meme song.

What is meant by "Song that isn't available on mainstream digital music platforms"?

Anything that's not available on Spotify, Amazon MP3, iTunes, etc, or uploaded to Youtube by a record label. If it's only on Bandcamp or uploaded to Youtube by an independent artist or random channels, that's fine and can qualify for this prompt. Same if you can purchase the physical vinyl, CD, or cassette from Amazon, that's fine as long as it's not available digitally.

What is meant by "Song from a concept album/rock opera"?

A concept album or rock opera, is an album where the songs are not independent of each other, but instead tell a story that progresses across the album, such as with Pink Floyd's The Wall. Does not need to necessarily be in the "rock" genre.

What is meant by "Chart-topper"?

Anything that is or has been at the top of a music chart. Does not matter which country or year.

Do the "song with ___ in the title" and "lyric with ____" prompts apply to both song titles and fic titles?

No, prompts 29-34 apply to the song selection only - your fic title does not need to include the requirement for the song title. Prompts 38-46 are the only ones with restrictions on the title of your fic, but do not limit the song selection (other than it must have lyrics and, for 41-46, include one of the two words somewhere in the lyrics).

Does the Free Space mean I choose from any of the above prompts, or any song/lyric at all?

Any song you want!
 

Have fun!

Any questions, comments, or suggestions? Please don't hesitate to ask below! Feel free to tell everyone what album you're planning on using, if you want!

Hi! Can multiple squares be combined in a single fill? e.g. a song from a soundtrack with a one word title that's less than 2 minutes long

[peppermint_shamrock]

No, one fill per square, but you're welcome to re-use songs and even lyrics for multiple fills if you want!
