Round Two Daredevil Bingo FAQ

What is Daredevil Bingo?
Daredevil Bingo is a challenge in the spirit of other fandom bingo challenges (kink_bingo, cottoncandy_bingo, xmfc_bingo, etc.) Participants sign up for a randomized bingo card and then create fanworks to complete a “bingo” down, across, or diagonally on the card. If a participant completes a bingo during a round, they can request a new card.

While Daredevil Bingo is largely focused on the current Netflix TV series and the wider Marvel Netflix universe (Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, The Defenders, The Punisher), fanworks related to the comics are welcome!



What kind of account do I need in order to participate?
You’ll need an account wherever you wish to post your fanworks (Tumblr, Ao3, Dreamwidth, DeviantArt… whatever works best for you). If you want to see your works reblogged by the daredevilbingo blog, you’ll need a Tumblr account.

Mod posts will be hosted on the daredevilbingo comm at Dreamwidth and linked at Tumblr. A Dreamwidth account is NOT required to participate.

How long will I have to sign up? How long will Daredevil Bingo run?
Signups for Round Two will begin on November 15, 2018, and Round Two will last AT LEAST through November 15, 2019. (This date subject to change, but the challenge will run for at least one full year.) You can sign up and get a card at any time during the round.

How do I sign up?
You will sign up by commenting on a signup post at the dreamwidth comm. Signups should include:
a) your username at the site(s) where you will host your works, and the name of the site(s) (ex: significantowl on tumblr, significantowl on Ao3)
b) At least two prompt categories you would like to see your prompts pulled from. (You may include more than two categories - or all of the categories! - if you wish.)
c) (if needed) Up to 10 individual prompts within your chosen categories that you would NOT like to receive on your card.

How will I receive my card?
In a reply to your signup comment. Cards will be given in two formats, .png images and html tables.

Where do I post my fanworks?
Wherever you like, but they should be publically available. Please add your work to the Daredevil Bingo collection on Ao3, if you post at Ao3. If you post/link your work at Tumblr, and you’d like to see it reblogged to the main community, use the tag “daredevil bingo.” (You may also want to @daredevilbingo as well.)

Do I have to use warnings for my fanworks?
Yes. Required warnings for this challenge are: Major Character Death, Rape/Noncon, Underage, and Graphic Depictions of Violence. You may also Choose Not to Warn. These warnings should be included on any posts you want to see reblogged on the challenge community.

Additional tags/warnings/content notes are up to you!

Is [art/podfic/meta/other] allowed?
Yes! All types of fanworks are allowed. Fic, art, meta, podfic, mixes, graphics, crafts… if you have an idea, go for it!

(A note: if you’re considering a translation or podfic of another author’s work, don’t forget to check with the original author for permission, or see if they have a transformative works policy posted.)

Is there a minimum word count/size for fanworks?
No. All lengths of works are welcome!

May I complete a bingo with just one fanwork?
If your work is divided in some way (for example, chapters of a fic, or panels of a comic), then yes, you may complete a bingo with one work, provided that each square/prompt has its own section in your work. For example: a fic with five chapters, with each chapter centered around a separate prompt.

Do fanworks have to be complete?
Yes, all fanworks have to be complete.

I can’t create for/don’t like/am triggered by a certain [trope, theme, etc] and don’t want it on my card.
Getting a prompt on your card doesn’t mean you actually have to create something for it; to get a bingo, you only need 5 of the 25 prompts on your card.

However, you will have the opportunity to strike up to 10 individual prompts, and need only include at least 2 prompt categories for your card to be created. If you have issues with the required number of categories or available strikes, message daredevilbingo or significantowl at tumblr, or email significantowl AT gmail DOT com.

How strict do I have to be when interpreting prompts? If a prompt is listed in a certain category, do I have to interpret it through the lens of that category?
Go wild! “Fight scene” could mean a brawl, but it could just as easily mean characters having an intense verbal argument. “Do some digging” is listed under “journalism,” but maybe your characters are digging an actual hole in the ground! “Feathers” may be listed under “kink,” but someone could just as easily adopt a pet chicken or have an allergic reaction to a down pillow. It’s all up to you!

What’s the WILD CARD square?
If using the wild card square, you may choose any prompt from the entire [LIST OF PROMPTS.]

How do I let you know I’ve earned a bingo? How do I request a second card?
When you’ve earned a bingo by creating fanworks for 5 prompts listed down, across, or diagonally on your card, comment on the Achievement Post (TBA).
Your comment should include:

Achievement: (Bingo or Blackout)
# of works:
Type(s) of works: (fic, art, meta, etc)
Prompts used:
Links to works:
Requesting an additional card: (yes or no)


Can I use a co-created work for one of my squares?
Sure! It doesn’t matter whether or not your co-creator is a participant.

What about a work created for another community or challenge?
If it’s okay with the other challenge mods, and marked as a Daredevil Bingo work in some way when posting, then certainly! Rules regarding completed works and required warnings still apply.
