H/C BINGO!!!!

hoosierbitchOkay, so, the deadline for hc_bingo isn't until December, so I'm not being THAT crazy, signing up for two bingos at once. Probably. I think. And kink_bingo lets you post until next summer (with a 'post SOMETHING' deadline in August) so, really, it's absolutely doable. Ish. I CAN TOTALLY DO THIS.
IT IS H/C BINGO. THERE IS NO WAY I AM NOT PLAYING.
See, okay. Because, like, here's the thing.
The one kink of mine that I haven't really talked about on here (but that you've probably already figured out!) is hurt/comfort. Er, well - I've talked about it as a genre, but not so much about it as a kink. And it is a real, honest-to-god kink for me. And not just a narrative kink, not just a genre preference - good h/c makes me CLENCH. Vulnerability, insecurity, emotional pain, angst - when done right - makes my lady parts go WHEE! Gimme someone cowering in a corner, whipped and terrified, and my body just goes UNF. I don't know why. BUT IT DOES.
THIS IS LIKE HAVING TWO KINK BINGOS. AT THE SAME TIME.
\o/ <--my lady parts
This is my card! I will probably try and do a horizontal line through the center (self-harm, bites, wild card, burns, and loss of voice). But I will keep coming back to this card until the deadline. Because, like. Dude. Imprisonment? Isolation? SEXUAL EXTORTION? I LIKE.
I know I, like, JUST did a prompt drive. BUT I WOULD LOVE SOME MORE. (BTW - if you feel like you still have kinky prompts you want to share, that post is here - I will keep using those prompts for inspiration until I've gotten to a black-out!)
I realized, when reposting my work to AO3, that the vast majority of my work comes from other people's prompts. I can't promise to write for a specific prompt (sometimes I do promise and then FAIL, because I'm still sort of feeling out how my writing process works, and, well,sometimes I just suck). But odds are, the fics that I do write will come from these prompts.
ANYWAY - you can request a card on DW, or on LJ (pick the one where you want to post your content). Here is the list of cliches that the squares are coming from (you can ask to have up to THREE excluded from your card).

As always, if you're thinking about playing but are on the fence, LET ME KNOW, I will bribe/threaten the HELL out of you. Y'all are some talented motherfuckers*, and I want to see what you can come up with!
Y'ALL. IT WILL BE SO MUCH FUN. COME PLAY WITH ME!
*And, just to be clear, I meant 'motherfuckers' in the most complimentary, encouraging, DEAR OEDIPUS I LOVE YOUR MANPAIN way possible. No offense is meant. Unless you don't like Oedipus. In which case, you are dead to me**.
**Okay, not really, I will still love you lots. But secretly I WILL BE JUDGING YOU.

I hope you decide that you don't want to do self-harm, however, as it's very hard for me to read those stories. If you really want to do it, of course, go for it. As I said, I'd even provide advice to make sure it stays realistic, if you were inclined to take it.
Crazy!Neal, on the other hand, is an idea of which I totally approve. Although, at least for bipolar disorder, the age of onset is usually earlier, it isn't always. So we need not put him through trauma to make him crazy; it could just happen, without any specific trigger. (To back me up, here's a quote from NIMH: "Bipolar disorder often develops in a person's late teens or early adult years. At least half of all cases start before age 25. Some people have their first symptoms during childhood, while others may develop symptoms late in life.") But naturally it's totally up to you; you could skip the insanity box altogether, or, after choosing it, write it very differently from what I've described. I'm sure I will enjoy whatever results, so long as it is accurate with the abnormal psychology stuff (which I am sure that it will be)!
OKAY I WILL STOP RAMBLING NOW.
In short: I can't wait to see what you come up with for this bingo thing, and am presumptuously offering my help with anything crazy-related, if that's one of the things that you choose.

This was probably a very poor decision, but it's not like they're going to come and execute you by firing squad if you don't complete the card---
---right?

Date: 2010-07-11 05:33 pm (UTC)I may be abandoning hc_bingo in favor of just continuing with kink_bingo - between that and charity fics, I've got a bit more on my plate than I anticipated! :D
ACK - I was gonna say more, but I gotta run!
I hope that you get a good card and have tons of fun playing! I can't wait to read what you come up with!

Date: 2010-07-11 06:01 pm (UTC)Also a bummer: you're bipolar, too? I hate finding out that people are similarly afflicted; it makes me sad, because it's an awful disease I wouldn't wish on anybody, least of all on a friend. Fucking bipolar disorder. I understand not being ready to write about it, too. For me, writing is often the only thing that saves me, you know? When I'm at my craziest, writing - even writing what I later find out was utter gibberish - makes me feel more in control. But if you don't want to touch the topic with a ten foot pole, I get that, completely.
Lastly, let me know about the whole autograph thing. (If you don't know what I'm talking about, check your LJ inbox.) If you go for it, you'll get first pick; if not, I have to think of other good homes in which to place them. I hope this doesn't sound too awful - I certainly do not mean for it to be so - but in one respect I am relieved that you are bipolar, if that makes sense. I mean, for one, you have a good job and write fabulous fics despite the difficulties you may have due to your illness. That's incredibly inspiring. Also, it means you'll understand how I came to win so many autograph auctions, and won't judge me for my foolishness (at least not too much!).
I hope that you're well!
