Panfandom Hanukkah Bingo
WHAT: A fanworks bingo celebrating Jewish (and Jew-ish) characters across any and all fandoms. Write fanfiction and/or create graphics (moodboards, edits, vids, whatever you like) to fill prompts on this overall bingo card. During the 8 nights of Hanukkah, submit your fills to the AO3 collection and/or post them on Tumblr to be reblogged and added to the Bingo Masterpost.
WHO: Any and all characters who are Jewish or Jew-ish. Canonically Jewish characters (like the Baudelaire orphans), characters who are* Jewish but it's not explicitly stated (like Bucky Barnes), characters who you like to headcanon as Jews (like Tina Belcher), characters who are Space Jew-ish or otherwise Scifi Jew-ish (like Leia Organa)... all are welcome. Interfaith, multicultural, patrilineal, and convert stories are all welcome! MESSIANIC HEADCANONS AND/OR MESSIANIC STORIES ARE NOT WELCOME.
WHEN: Start creating whenever you want, but the AO3 collection will be open from December 18-26 to accept works for this year's bingo. Masterposts on Tumblr will be posted each night (like... Hanukkah gifts for fandom, get it?)
WHERE: Tumblr (tag @aimmyarrowshigh and #hannukahbingo) | AO3 | Discord -- All works must be posted on either Tumblr or AO3 to be included in the Masterposts. Discord is for discussion, betas, cheerleading, etc!
WHY: Jewish characters and Jewish fans are often overlooked or erased during the Winter Holiday Season in favor of "Secret Santa" exchanges, Christmas-themed fics, and the idea that ~Hanukkah is Jewish Christmas~ (which spoiler for all fics in this bingo: it's not). This panfandom Bingo challenge is to celebrate Hanukkah on its own terms and give Jewish characters and fans a place to breathe. :)
HOW: The basic rules --
All fics must be at least 100 words long and focus on a Jewish or Jew-ish character celebrating Hanukkah (or the scifi/fantasy equivalent of Hanukkah).
All graphics and moodboards must be at least 3x3 (9 images or more in total included on the work) OR for traditionally drawn art, include at least one Jewish or Jew-ish character celebrating Hanukkah.
From December 18-26, post your work to the AO3 collection "hanukkahbingo" and/or post on Tumblr tagging @aimmyarrowshigh and #hanukkahbingo to be included in the nightly masterpost!

Since this Bingo grid is larger than the usual bingo card, you do not need to complete a full row or column to get a Bingo -- any five fills = a bingo. If you DO fill out the complete card, that's a Full Menorah (instead of a Blackout, because festival of lights... yuk yuk yuk).
You can fill as many squares as applicable in your work (so if your characters have an applesauce versus sour cream versus ketchup latke debate, that's 5 squares and a full bingo!), but each square must be at least 100 words or 3 images, so you cannot write one 100-word fic and claim that it fills 5 squares, etc. The above example of the applesauce versus sour cream versus ketchup latke debate fic would need to be at least 500 words.
Additional questions? Send an ask to @aimmyarrowshigh here on Tumblr, please! I'm sure I'm forgetting to explain something that other people would need to know, too!
And I'm tagging @fandomevents @stuckybingo @buckybarnesbingo @seashell-x @gay-jewish-bucky @glamorouspixels @tikkunolamorgtfo @progressivejudaism @damereyconnection @starspangledbigbang @starwarsblr @gffa @therebeccaw @bebeocho @fille-lioncelle @meggannn @elizabethminkel @bettsfic @hellotailor @copperbadge @vaspider @reachmouse -- if you see this and you love a Jewish or Jew-ish character (or a Jewish fan!) please reblog so that we can get a good selection of fandoms and fanworks... Jewish fans deserve love this time of year especially, and this seems like the least I could do to help spread some of that love.
