Wasn’t the free one to strike a prompt you didn’t want to do or is this just in the test like this?
I believe it’s referring to prompt #14 - Read something from the free samples/something you can read for free (such as syosetsu, kakuyomu, tonarinoyj, etc) - 14 votes
Is this card generated differently for everyone? or is it the same for everyone?
For example, the link gave me this
That’s a link to a single test card, so yeah it’s always gonna be the same
There’s an option at the bottom to generate a new random one.
I totally had missed that, thank you!
The link is personal. So, you can create a “central” link and everyone gets their own card, I think. But this particular link was my test card.
I also just chose some colours I like, but it might not be for everyone.
You also get a card ID on the bottom corner, that verifies you haven’t manipulated the order to the one who created the bingo.
Clicking gives you the link to the specific card:
I tried the new button, which gave me
Is it fine to keep it, or are we going to make cards at the start time?
Edit: I can probably do the right most column with a single book by finding something not on natively with a horrible cover and reading it in a single day.
WAIT, read for free, new author to me, book club and bad (yet amazing ) cover all fit 痴人の愛! (Assuming the book finishes after January)
EDIT: my modifier is to try to fill as many squares at once (so I can count multiple things). At the same time, I cannot use a book if it doesn’t match at least 3 squares (but those square may have been used already). Finally, I need to get a bingo with a single book, otherwise NO bingo counts.
You can keep it since you made it already, but no starting early!

edit: I'm thinking of trying to go for the only one type of media challenge, which will be manga so it's rather a bit unfair (since it's probably easier than books) but I honestly really want to give it a try, might redo with books if I do finish it like that

and it’s easy to re-do the board with different wordings/colours if someone prefers to. There is an option to post prompts as a list (1 entry per line) and the board gets generated with them.
Yeah I just did my own version with full prompts, just for fun.

Here’s my unfilled card:
ref number: faf308
And here’s how it’s going:
regarding award works - does any award count or does it need to have a certain degree of “prestige”/“acknowledgement”?
I’m mainly thinking of examples like the differentiation between an overall award for nominations across magazines/publications and a local magazine award etc
For books to count, do we need to start them in 2024? Or is it ok if we finish a book we started this year?
Just my personal opinion but “you do you”. If someone holds back the last page of 5 books just so they get a bingo early, the only person they are really cheating is themselves, imo. Personally, it defeats the purpose of the bingo, but that’s an individual choice, imo.
For me personally, I would count anything where I read at least 50% in 2024.
Maybe we could put the prompt number on the card. That way you don’t have to second guess the meaning
Oh, I like that color scheme.
