And Bingo was his name-o

osprey_archerApparently bingos do mini-challenges when they do not actually have a bingo running? I had not realized that this might be the case until I looked at trope_bingo this morning and, oh look! They have a May challenge. With cards to choose from!
I am trying to decide if I want to do the challenge: trope_bingo didn't go nearly as well for me as![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
hc_bingo did, possibly because I don't find tropes quite as inspiring as hurt/comfort (unless of course they are hurt/comfort tropes. Cuddling for warmth FTW!), but also possibly because I did it during the Semester from Hell (tm) and perhaps I should give tropes another chance by taking a card now.
And also perhaps the fact that tropes don't come as naturally as character torment means that writing more of them stretches my abilities more as a writer? It's always good to try new things.
Although by that way of thinking, possibly I should take one of the AU cards. They have noir AUs! Circus AUs! Royalty AUs! (Royalty AUs? Is that really a thing?)
I could totally see a Veronica Mars royalty AU. Lily as assassinated princess! Veronica, her lady-in-waiting! Also possibly bodyguard, though that would give her an extra burden of guilt for Lily's death. Logan: possibly a prince from a neighboring land? Neptune of course would be a kingdom, or at least a city state.
(Veronica Mars: also perfect for a mermaid AU. They already live in the town of Neptune, for goodness sake.)
Must contemplate this.
Also! Seeing the trope_bingo challenge inspired me to go see ifhc_bingo was doing a similar thing, and indeed! A May challenge! But not just any May challenge: it is a challenge for fics for tiny fandoms, and therefore basically made for me.
I'm kind of drawn toward the pneumonia prompt (although it's also hard to go wrong with knife wounds...), but I don't have a real yen which fandom to write for. Anyone have any requests/thoughts/ridiculous yet awesome ideas?
