Bingo 03.25 - Week 1

And it begins! The first week of our Bingo Challenge is open now.

The sign-up for the challenge and the team challenge will still be open until September 10, so it is not too late to join.

Try to fill at least one square every week to keep the challenge running. You can fill up to five squares (= one bingo) every week.

Your Bingo Card can be found here.

Short reminder of the rules
(for more information, visit the general BINGO post)

Possible Bingos:
General:
Row (example: B 1+2+3+4+5)
Column (example: 1 B I N G O)
Vertical line (example: B 1 / I 2/ N 3 / G 4 / O 5)
Corner (possible in every corner - example: B 1+2+3 / I 1 / N 1)
Corner Squares + Middle (B 1+5 / O 1+5 / N 3)
Middle Cross (I 3 / G 3 / N 2+3+4)
Middle Vertical Cross (I 2/4 / G 2/4 / N 3)

Specials:
Free Bingo = five squares of your choice
Blackout = all squares from the card

Let's play
You may create fandom works, original works, and real-person works.
Every square requires one complete work; single chapters are allowed as long as they can be read as stand-alone works.
Don't mix up two or more squares in one work.
Bingos can overlap, but if you re-use a prompt for a second bingo, you will have to create a new work for the square.

Fills Minimum
Every square comes with a minimum of:
100 words
1 haiku
2 icons (100x100)
1 graphic work bigger than an icon

Wildcards
At the beginning of the challenge, you will get five wildcards. You can use them in three different ways:
1. If you have missed a week, you can play a wildcard, and you are allowed to complete five extra squares in the following week(s).
2. Swap two prompts from your card (example: prompt N5 goes to I2)
3. Delete a prompt from your card and use one of your choice from the prompt list.

Team Challenge
If you have signed up, please visit your team Alpha or Omega to play.

You can still sign up here until September 10.

Posting for week one officially ends Sunday, September 14 17.00 UTC. There is a grace period until the week is finally called 'closed'.

*casually slides back in*

Um, hi! Accidentally slipped away from DW again, as one does when the brain decides it's time to visit slump-town. And then it's always tricky to pick back up! But I'm here, having been lured back by a friend request (❤️).

+ Currently working, yay!

+ Currently sick and voice-less, boo!

+ This is a double-shift as I swapped it around to attend my dad's wedding in November. It's in Thailand, and I'll be there a full month. I plan to get absolutely kneaded into oblivion, my body will be jelly by the end of it. Just good food, swimming, and massages.

+ If I can actually manage to Get The Thing Done at home, instead of avoiding and courting disaster, it's sure to be a relaxing time. So I need to get on that, Monday morning *stern glare at self*.

+ Started reading The Archive Undying. It dropped me face first into weirdness, and I'm loving the writing. All very much appreciated.

+ We're at the tail end of the general election here in Norway, and it's looking plausible we could get a RedGreen coalition! I'm trying not to get my hopes up, but it could happen.

+ There's a new community for Community, and there's a Friday Five/intro post up, come hang.

+ Really enjoying Haley Williams' Ego Death At A Bachelorette Party and CMAT's EURO-COUNTRY. If you're looking for an absolute banger about grief, Lord, Let That Tesla Crash is at your service.

+ Working my way through Apple this trip, with Foundation being my weekly download. I'd say overall the weakest season of the three, but Demerzel is holding my interest.

+ Tonight should have a red full moon, so I'm hoping it won't be cloudy here.

Help with sidebar display - Missing header for navlinks?

Hello! I am a new DW member and in the process of transferring my blog over.

I'm playing around with the Buttercup Summer theme and happy with everything I can modify, except one thing. This layout has the navlinks in the sidebar, which is great, but the text overlaps the icons in the profile module slightly.

Screenshot of my empty DW page with slightly wonky sidebar

Looking at the source for my page, I *think* this because the navlinks module doesn't have a H2 header. If I wanted to add a H2 to the navlinks module (like the text highlighted below), how do I do that? I've tried the 'Use embed CSS' box on the Custom CSS page but I don't think that's the right approach (and it doesn't work).

Screenshot of CSS

Wait, I think this is because the S2 base layer has the code:

# Modules without titles: navlinks, time, poweredby

Do I need to made a custom S2 and remove navlinks from the 'Modules without titles' section? Is there an easier way to get my sidebar to look pretty and not have overlapping text?

biting off more than I can chew

I feel like I was better at this when I was younger.

Got a big dent in my self-assurance right now, and struggling: tired and a little anxious after this setback.

*sigh*

Celebrating the OTW’s 18th Anniversary

Posted by Aditi Paul

September 5 is the OTW’s birthday and this year, we are turning 18 years old! To celebrate this event, let’s look back at some of the milestones the OTW’s projects – AO3, TWC, Open Doors, Fanlore, and Legal Advocacy – have achieved over the years:

  • As the first OTW Project, Legal Advocacy was launched in 2007, the same year as the organization itself.
  • In February of 2008, TWC released its first call for papers! Shortly after, in June, Fanlore was launched.
  • In late 2009, AO3 first went live. Roughly one year later, AO3 reached 10,000 users, with growth of the community accelerating ever since.
  • In 2011, Open Doors was launched, and began importing archives in 2012.
  • In 2015, the first ever International Fanworks Day was observed.

Since then, our projects have only continued to flourish and grow. AO3 has more than 9 million users and 15,730,000 works. Fanlore has nearly 80,000 pages and has seen over 1,657,000 edits. TWC is on its 45th issue. Open Doors has imported more than 100 archives, containing over 164,000 fanworks. Legal Advocacy fights hard for the rights of fans each and every day, responding to dozens of questions every year, filing Amicus Curiae briefs, joining coalitions, and more. All this and more is thanks to the support of fans worldwide; it wouldn’t be possible without you!

If you’re interested in how you can help, there are many ways for you to support us and our fannish community, and you can learn about some of them today by participating in our 18th Anniversary Bingo! On the card below you can see sixteen ways to contribute to the OTW or one of its projects. Some of these you might already have done, or are doing. You can cross those off!

OTW Bingo Card. 4x4 Squares in order top left to bottom right. Read a Fanlore page. Shared an OTW social media post. Commented under a fanwork this week. Found a press article about the OTW. Checked out our Fan Studies bibliography. Shared some recs with people. Followed the OTW on a social media channel. Read about the history of the OTW. Downloaded a work from AO3. Checked out some recent OTW news posts. Subscribed to OTW news by mail. Created or used a site skin on AO3. Created an AO3 account. Edited or created a Fanlore page. Donated to become a member. Checked out a paper on fanworks.

Once you have a Bingo, we’d love for you to tell us what you did to get it! Tag us on social media using #18YearsOTW or comment below, and let us know. We’re excited to hear from you!
