Reblog this post to spread the word!
Here’s mine! Completed it while bored at school
I made an acespec bingo!
*Mentioned in the bingo is the term “m-spec” - it stands for “multiple attraction spectrum” and is a spectrum of orientations defined by attraction to multiple genders.
A common aspec (asexual and aromantic spectrum) experience is thinking you’re m-spec before figuring out you are actually aspec.

Bingo Board Reveal!
Attention, bingo enthusiasts! You can now visit the bingo board website to generate your board (which will look something like the example above).
The Basics:
Your browser will save your bingo board. You can click on the squares to mark them off. Should you wish for a new board, simply click ‘generate a new card’. (Warning: if you’ve filled in boxes and you wish to submit, take a screenshot of it first!). You can regenerate your board as many times as you would like!
The Prompts:
You may have noticed our prompts- while most are fairly self-explanatory here are a few general categories most of them fall into.
Tag Prompts:
it includes a colon, it is likely a tag prompt. For these, you will need to comment on a fic that has the tag. (i.e. if your prompt is warning: choose not to use archive warnings, the way to fill it is to comment on a fic that has for it’s warning ‘choose not to use archive warnings.) These prompts are easy to fill, as long as you know your way around ao3’s filtration tools. If you’re struggling to find fic that meet the prompts, don’t be afraid to ask for help!
There are also a couple "fun" tag prompts to pay homage to folks with immaculate tagging game.
Comment Prompts:
Comment prompts come in two forms- they either tell you how to comment, or where to comment.
For the first type, consider the example above ‘mention a plot point that you liked’. In order to fulfill that prompt, you would need to mention in your comment on any Cycling RPF work, a plot point that you liked. This category might go from as simple as quoting a line to as complex as making a comparison with another fic or real life event.
For the second type, it will tell you where to comment based on the amount of comments. For example- look at the above prompt ‘fic with less than two comments (before you)’. In order to fulfill that prompt, you would have to be the third comment thread on any Cycling RPF fic. While you could simply sort by comments, we hope that this will cause some fun explorations of the dustier parts of the Cycling RPF archive!
Scavenger Hunt Prompts:
The third and largest category, these prompts are meant to make you search out fic yourself! While the previous categories are more quantitative, these prompts are by far the most varied, and are made to make you both discover new fic you might not have read or old favorites you might not have remembered otherwise!
Whether ‘a fic you would rec to someone else’, or a more event-based prompt like ‘someone gets a puncture’, these prompts will hopefully send you far and wide over the available works on ao3, appreciating creators and (hopefully) leaving a whole lot of comments!
More than the other categories, some of these prompts might be difficult- so if you’re stuck, feel free to ask for help, not just from us, but other participants- this event is all about community, after all. If you’ve found a hidden gem of a fic you think fits a particularly tricky scavenger hunt prompt, share it! You might just make someone’s day!
FAQs:
For the prompts that say 'less than X comments (before you)', does that mean total comments?
We mean 'top-level comments', or 'comment threads.' We know some authors get very chatty in the comments, and we don't want to penalize them for it.
For all the 'less than X' prompts, do stories/pairings with X comments count?
Nope! We mean strictly less than X. So if it says 'less than 5' only 4 or under count.
What do you mean by 'speculative fiction'?
Speculative fiction is an umbrella genre term covering sci-fi and fantasy and other related genres. Loosely, it refers to an alternate universe that is distinct from our own. Not only are space and magic AUs covered, but so are omegaverse and soulmates! We wanted to make this square broad enough to cover a lot of different types of interesting AUs without policing the boundaries of what counts as 'scifi' or 'fantasy.'
When does a fic count as 'abandoned'?
Either the author has declared it abandoned OR it hasn't been updated in over a year. If the author is still active in fandom and hasn't declared it abandoned, try not to use it for the first board you complete.
What about "on hiatus"?
For this challenge, we are saying that "on hiatus" is a status assigned to the work by the creator/author. Further on in the challenge, we may revisit this.
Do second-person and dialogue-only fics count as 'experimental'?
Yes! These are a little more common than those listed in the square, but they are still considered experimental. For other possible fics, your best judgment. If you feel like the author is trying something new and challenging, feel free to count it.
Can I comment on a fic I've commented on before?
Yes! We believe the authors will appreciate the extra love.
In the same vein, can I comment on the same fic multiple times for multiple squares?
Since this is a long event and it's still a (relatively) small fandom and there's theoretically infinite bingo, we understand that repeats might come up, BUT we want to spread the love around as much as possible. A good rule of thumb is to have a unique work for each square on a single bingo board. Once you generate a new board, then you can go back to commenting on a fic you've commented on before.
I've been in fandom too long! I've read all the tropes before! How can I fill the square that says 'fic with a trope you haven't read before'?
Most likely, there's a trope hiding out there that you haven't tried yet, but if it's really impossible, you can count 'fic with a trope you haven't read in cycling RPF' before.
Do fics tagged 'AU - no wives/girlfriends' count for alternate universe or canon divergence squares?
Since this concept is really common, we are choosing to exclude them from these categories. We want to emphasize other types of interesting alternate universes out there. Speculative fiction AUs can still count as canon divergence! And no wives/girlfriends stories of course can still be used to fill other squares.
Can I share my board and what fics I've been commenting on to fill it?
Please do! We want to encourage folks to find new or underappreciated fics.
Is the all-FEET board real?
The all-FEET board isn't real. It can't hurt you. (Or can it...)
In Conclusion:
Over the course of the event, we may add more bingo square prompts to keep everyone on their toes. 👀
Get your boards ready and waiting, folks!
