I was doing the BINGO sheet at r/Fantasy and I had heard there were a few other subreddits doing them too like r/Romance. I continued my sheet even after I left Reddit, but I’m stuck because I still want to discuss it, but don’t have any desire to return to Reddit in any fashion.

It was due for r/Fantasy on 4/1 and that’s also when they post the new one. Is there anyone else that had started it that wants to discuss theirs or start one of our own going forward?

      There’s a 25 square (5x5) sheet with a variety of criteria and the goal is to read books over the course of the year that meet those criteria. Sometimes there are 2 levels of challenge where there’s a less challenging way to accomplish it; for example if the category was magical school, the most common ones like Harry Potter might be considered the easy route and if you chose a less common book it would meet the harder criteria.

    I’ve been toying with the idea of starting a more generalized one (either on kbin or literature.cafe) for a few months, but I haven’t worked up the nerve to propose it yet. Would love to see one somewhere (whatever the genre) b/c I get to discover new books.

      I briefly talked to Gabe about it closer to the beginning of the year and it felt like he had a lot on his mind at that time. I had made a more generic one up. proposed bingo sheet

        Oh nice, we have some of the same squares. Here’s a rough draft of mine (non-fiction compatible!); still needs some rearranging.

          Nice. If we do one for some community on Lemmy, would you be interested in working together on it?

          I think u/mesericordiae and I are good with that and could put something together, it would just be about making sure that we are copacetic with the mods of the community.
