podfic_bingo | Prompt List

Here is a run-down of the prompts we are using. We have a Wild Card AND a Free Space square!

Wild Card means you can choose to do any prompt. Either one of the prompts we're using for the squares, or you can make one of your own.

Free Space means that you can record anything you like! It can be that one story you've been meaning to make since last summer or something that caught your eye last week. It doesn't have to be Bingo-related at all.

We encourage you to take these prompts and run with them! There is no right or wrong interpretation! However, if you have any questions about how to interpret the prompts, please leave a comment over at Ask-a-Mod.
