First of all, welcome to the first Ineffable Husbands Bingo and thank you for showing interested in this challenge! Let me not dilly-dally too much in this post and just get to the point here... which is telling you about the Bingo.
āWhat is a Bingo?ā Some of you might ask
Simply said, a fandom Bingo is where you will get a Bingo Card (either a āsurpriseā card or a customized one - more about this later) and it will be your task to fill out as many squares as possible. In the case of this Bingo, some of the squares will be Good Omens-specific so you can make fandom-related content, but there will also be more generalized ones.
How will this Bingo work?
This Bingo will be just for fun really, so there wonāt be any prizes. Nor will there be consequences of any kind if you are unable to black out your card before the deadline comes along - you can fill out as many or as few squares as you want. No pressure at all.
The squares are free to be interpreted however you wish, but this is an Ineffable Husbands Bingo - so please, do have your creations relate to Aziraphale/Crowley in one way or another. Whether romantic or platonic doesnāt matter.
You can use any form of art to fill up your squares. Writing of fanfictions, painting, sketching, crafting, picture manipulation... you name it and you can use it.
āAll forms of art should be widely celebrated.ā
See rules for more information regarding this all, and press ākeep readingā to see the entire post.
When will I be able to sign up and receive my card?
The Bingo went live on the 7th of July. See Time Schedule. Starting that date, you are able to sign up for the Bingo using this post.
Either way, on the time line it will say when sign ups will open. When the time line is posted, the date will be final. On that day I will post the links to both the Customized and Surprise Card sign ups. Sign up forms will be available in the form of Google Forms. When youāve received your card (which shouldnāt take longer than 72 hours at most. If it takes longer, please shoot us a message), you can begin with creating and posting your work.
About the Surprise Cards
With signing up, you will have the option to sign up for a Surprise Card or a Customized Card. The Surprise Cards are pre-made by myself and are always 5x5 (so 25 squares, including a Free Space). In the sign-up form, you will have the option to choose your card; the squares arenāt shown and only the TYPE of squares will be visible for you. E.g. fluff, angst, smut... you get it. Based off that information, you pick your card.
All squares will come from a Google Sheets form where Iāve written them all down. (Will be linked up at the end of this post) So you are more than welcome to take a look at it so you can have an idea of what to expect on your card.
So you simply select the one with the type of squares you want on your card, and you let fate decide the rest.
Unhappy with some of your squares? You can request me to change up to a maximum of 5 squares on your card until the deadline to do so, but you can do this only once. The squares you will receive in their place will be randomized. If you request a change, we expect you to discard the old card and use the new one instead. If you want to change more than 5 squares, you will simply receive a completely new card.
About the Customized Cards
On to the Customized Cards. With this Bingo, you are able to customize a card of your own where you can hand-pick the squares you want on it yourself - especially recommended for those who donāt fully trust me to pick out their card lol
This customized card can be of any size you want. It can be the standard 5x5 card. But you want to challenge yourself some more? Feel free to request a 7x7 card, or a 9x9 one. Or heck, even a 10x10 card! We have over 200 prompts to choose from - see Google Sheets form linked up at the end of this post.
Donāt think you will be able to complete a 5x5 or a larger card? No worries at all. You can even request cards that are as small as 2x2 with only 4 squares on it, for those who are worried about not having much time on their hands but still wanting to participate in the fun of it all.
Every Customized Card will have a Free Space square on it. Except for the 2x2 card because of its size - unless specifically requested to have it on it.
What if I black out my card before the deadline? Can I request a new one?
Yupyup, of course you can! Cards do need to be completely blacked out for you to be able to request a new one though, so keep that in mind.
How can I contact the mods?
The Tumblr inbox is always open and you are more than welcome to reach us there for any questions/concerns you might have.
You will also be able to reach me on this Bingoās Official Discord Server (an invite will go out soon after the rules & timeline has been posted). You can also join the Discord server if youāre not participating in the Bingo itself.
We also have a gmail account where we can be reached. No spamming please. Itās [email protected]
How can I keep on track with everything Bingo-related so I wonāt miss important announcements?
Keep an eye out for the ā#mod announcementā & ā#ineffable husbands bingoā tags. Feel free to stalk them to your hearts content. All announcements and other important things will be tagged with those two tags. You can also turn on the notifications for this blog.
It will also help to be in the Discord server. All announcements will be posted there as well.
~~
If you wish to see the prompts for the squares Iāve written down, take a look at this little Doc. All squares Iāve taken for the Surprise Cards come from there, and if you have a square idea for a Customized Card and donāt see it on the list... donāt worry about it! You are free to request it either way and I will probably put it on for you without any issues :)
If you are unable to view the sheet with the squares for whatever reason, please do let me know so I can help you out.

First of all, Iām really really sorry for my absence the past while. My grandfather passed away which really got to me and life honestly got in the way beyond me to handle and Iāve been having some small panic attacks (been doing a lot of stress art as well) - and I honestly admit I stayed away from most forms of social media, which in fact includes all my Tumblr blogs.
I havenāt checked my notifications yet, but for the last few peeps wondering why they havenāt had their card yet; it most likely didnāt went wrong (there are still 4 I need to do, not counting change requests for Surprise Cards). The same can be said about me not reblogging your creations.
Iām kinda leaving for a school camp now (Iām in the bus as Iām typing this) so I most likely wonāt be available at all. But Iāll be back on Wednesday and I SWEAR you... Iāll find a way to get through all my notifications and send out those cards ASAP even if it ends up killing me š Iāll send out another message when Iām finished with this; and if you still donāt have your card by then I suggest you message me for something might have gone wrong with the sign ups after all then... even tho I really hope that wonāt be the case.
Iāll also end up expanding the deadline as a result of all of this. So donāt worry about that. (Iāll reblog the timeline again with the changes when I do this)
Iām really sorry that it had to go this way but I hope yāall can forgive me either way. Iāll get back on track after camp is finished! :ā)
For those who do not know; Discord is a handy mostly-text-based communication tool (mainly used by gamers, from what I understand) and Iāve decided to create a Server specifically made for this Bingo to make the communication much easier.
Itās also free to use and has both an app and desktop version. And you can even play games - for those who like those kinda things.
Discord also has a āconstant dark modeā so itās extremely eye-friendly as well. Something I personally love
What does this mean?
Simply said, you are more than welcome to join our Discord server where you can meet me (if you want lol) as well as the other participants of the Bingo. So you can easily share your creations with everyone, chat about whatever you want, share headcanons/prompts, find inspiration to get out of that cursed art/writing block and possibly make some new friends who love the same thing you do.
Also, you donāt necessarily need to participate in the Bingo to join the Discord Server. Everyone is more than welcome to join! I do ask that you at the very least love Good Omens lol
Join the Bingoās Official Discord Server right here!!!
If you have issues with navigating around Discord or the link doesnāt work for whatever reason (or any other issue you might face), just remember that the inbox/asks of this Tumblr blog are always open. Just shoot a message and Iāll happily help you out.
You donāt want to join Discord and/or create an account? No worries. Youāll also be just fine by just following the Tumblr blog. Announcement will be made on both Tumblr & Discord, after all.
Seeing as the Bingo officially went live the 7th of July (see the posts linked up in our bio for more) I figured Iād make a little post about how to format your blogs when posting your creations. This is mainly for Tumblr, seeing as AO3 already has this handy tagging system going on. But for AO3 I would appreciate it if youād make a wee note about which square fill it is, e.g. āfor the angst square of the Ineffable Husbands Bingoā, and when posting on AO3 do not forget to submit it to our collection.
Now, letās get this started.
I will put this in an as simple way as I can. Below I will simply write down the following things that must, at the very least, be covered in your blog. As well as whatās optional to add.
.
~Rating (e.g. general or mature)
~Triggers/warnings (if any)
~Mod tag: @ineffablehusbandsbingo
~For fanfiction only: Word count - if more than 500 words and/or containing graphic material, please insert a read-more link.
~Properly tag your work.
.
~Optional: add the tag ā#ineffablehusbandsbingoā within the first 5 tags of your post.
~Optional: add your card to your post and cross of squares as you fill them
~Optional: tag my main, @tricksterarchangelgabriel
.
The first few cards for the challenged have already been send out, the rest will follow. You can start posting your work once youāve received your card.
And that would be all. Remember, the inbox/asks are always open for if you have any questions regarding the challenge. I can also be reached on Discord and the newly created gmail for this challenge, for if you rather communicate that way - see bio.

hey there! I didn't see my post reblogged (27dragons, post 186447464967), so I wasn't sure if you didn't see it (in which case I choose to blame tumblr), or if you're only reblogging full-story posts (in which case, maybe that should be in the rules or posting instructions?). Or if I broke the rules by combining squares, but I thought that was allowed if each chapter was a separate fill.
Hi there!
It appears that I simply didnāt receive the notification for your story. Sometimes Tumblr is just a b*tch like that and doesnāt always shows me my tags, which kinda sucks honestly - especially when one is trying to run something like a bingo. Thank you for reaching out to me about it and feel free to PM me with a link or tag me again so I can reblog it either way.
Yes, youāre totally allowed to use numerous squares for the same story as long as each square has a chapter of its own. And no, I donāt only reblog full-story parts - the rules are pretty much up-to date.
And if anyone else has this... feel free to reach out to me. Tumblr just most likely didnāt gave me a notification.
how tf does one submit a fic on ao3?? can't seem to do so, sry. it keeps sendin me an error
Iāve taken a few screenshots of how to submit a fic to a collection on AO3. If this doesnāt works and you keep receiving an error please message me (and plz detail what kind of error you receive) so we can work it out and find out why itās not working for you.
Iāve done this all on the phone. You can do this on a laptop as well, it would look similar.
First you look for the option above, there you will type in the name of the collection. You can find this option by pressing āeditā on an already published story. Or you just scroll down in the draft if itās not yet published.
Make sure that you submit it to the right collection. Iāve drawn a circle around it in red so you shouldnāt have any trouble finding it. You just click on it and then you save your story. Then youāve submitted it, but it doesnāt yet shows in the collection itself.
The collection to this Bingo is set to āOpen, Moderatedā. Simply said, this means that everyone can submit their stories to the collection but that does not means they will automatically appear in the collection. I need to approve them first - the reason for that is that this collection is for Bingo stories only and I donāt want people to submit non-Bingo related creation to the collection.
When a work has been added, you will automatically receive an email of this. And when Iāve approved it, it will appear in the collection together with all the other approved stories.
Oh good thing this hasn't started yet because I ship the ship but haven't seen the show oops
Haha no, this is still a baby Bingo that has been created only a couple of days ago š And you donāt necessarily need to have watched the show in order to join this; the book is fine too. Or heck, even if all you know about the show comes from Tumblr! (I do highly recommend you to watch it tho, for itās bloody amazing and I know many will agree with me)
