Mods, I believe I've got the Steadfast Achievement and the Gamer's Glory Achievement. Also, could I get a fandom tag for Rune Factory and a prompt tag for Strapped to a Moving Vehicle?

Dearest h/c enthusiasts,

Please enjoy our weekly motivation post. This is a space where you can discuss your cards, exchange story ideas, find betas (or offer to beta!), or simply talk about your creative process and your prompts.

We would also like to offer this as a free-for-all space for discussing hurt/comfort. Talk about tropes you love, rec a fanwork, talk about canons that have excellent hurt/comfort dynamics. As always, lurkers are welcome to join in.

Anon commenting is on, please be kind to each other.

Love,
Mods

Official AO3 Collection for Round 9

Hi everyone! Welcome to Round 9 of Hurt/Comfort Bingo!

We are very grateful to everyone keeping this community alive! Whether you make content, leave feedback, participate in discussions, or simply you lurk, we appreciate your presence here. If you're new to the Hurt/Comfort Bingo experience, welcome! You are always free to PM the mod if you have any questions.

We're looking forward to seeing new participants, new fandoms, new types of fanworks this year! Round 8 was a roaring success, so we haven't made many changes this year.

Without further ado, let's get started with Round 9! This is your sign-up post. Leave a comment, receive a card!

Please read the Rules, FAQ and Bingos, Extras and Achievement posts first.

There's no penalty for not posting anything in Round 8. Round 9 is open for everybody!



Leave a comment to this post under the name you wish to post as to get you bingo card and a code to post it to your journal. Due to the possible triggering nature of the prompts themselves, the card code already contains the lj-cut code; you can change the cut text to suit you.

If you want your card with the white background, remove background="LINK"and font color="#ffffff" from your code.

To strike out a square find the square name in the code you've been given and make it look like this: <*a href="LINK TO YOUR STORY"><*s>SQUARE NAME<*/a> (without the asterisks).

To have your card display properly, you need to copy/paste its code directly from the comment itself, and not from your e-mail. Use the HTML editor when posting.

If you have any problems with your code, please send a message to hc_bingo_mod and we’ll try to help you out.

Important: Some hurt/comfort prompts can be potentially triggering. Please read through the list of prompts before requesting a card. You can veto up to three prompts that would be triggery/uncomfortable for you to write about. Additionally, you can ask for a sex-free card - this will leave off all prompts that deal with questions of consent or sexual contact. If you need more than three prompts veto'd, please contact the mods by PM or e-mail and we will work with you to make sure you have a suitable card.

Remember, you can sign up here or on dreamwidth, but not at the both places at once, since both communities mirror each other.


For Round 9 card backgrounds a pattern by Paintmyworld & a pattern by Aquamarine111 were used

Posting

Once you have completed a bingo you must post it to the community to receive the banner and qualify for achievements. Please do not post links to single fills to the community unless it’s amnesty period or you’re submitting an extra.

You should post to the community you've signed up to, i.e. only to either livejournal or dreamwidth, not both at once.

Please tag your post with already created tags (amnesty, amnesty challenge, bingo, extra, fandom, prompt, medium, round) and mods will create other tags as needed. You do not need to ask mods to create tags for you in your post.


Please note: To look up all the posts made to the community by you or some other player, add "?poster=USERNAME" to http://hc_bingo.livejournal.com. For example, to look up all the posts made by , you need to go to the page http://hc_bingo.livejournal.com?poster=hc_bingo_mod.

Any feedback is appreciated! And as always, thank you for staying with us and for your commitment to the hurt/comfort motion. It's been a long long ride, and we're happy to continue to share it with you.

Hi, friends! Thank you for participating in April Challenge. We are very excited to announce the final spring challenge of Round 8. Welcome to May Amnesty!

Our theme in May is small fandoms. As always, you can also keep participating in our regular amnesty period, up until the point when we announce the next round.

If you comment on this post, you get a set of four randomly chosen prompts. You then complete and submit one fill written for a rare/small fandom. You can choose one prompt or combine two, three or all four out of your stamp.

Rules:
- For the purpose of this challenge rare/small fandom means a fandom with roughly less than 400 fics, as determined by checking AO3, FF.net, the main livejournal comms for the fandom and quick googling. The criteria is, obviously, approximate; our purpose is to encourage players to turn to less written-in fandoms rather than to be really specific about defining the size of the fandom. To avoid confusion it's obligatory to run your fandom by the mods for the final say on whether it's eligible or not, before submitting. Please PM or e-mail us beforehand.

- Installments in series (of books, movies, games and so on) count as separate fandoms if they have completely different characters.

- Different media versions of the same canon (i.e., book! and movie!verses and so on) count as the same fandom if they have the same set of characters.

- Crossovers between two or more eligible fandoms are allowed; crossover between eligible and inelegible fandoms are not.

- The deadline for posting your completed fill is June 5th. As long as your submission is in the posting queue while it's June 5th anywhere in the world, you've finished on time. There are no penalties for defaulting: if you didn't finish your fill on time, it can still be posted during the amnesty period, but it won't bring you points.

- The prize for finishing and submitting your story in time is a banner and an achievement in the next round. You can sign up to play even if you didn't participate in Round 8 and/or don't plan to participate in Round 9.

- If you're uncomfortable with writing about sexual trauma and/or abuse based situations, please note that when you sign up so we can give you a prompts set avoiding these areas altogether. Additionally, you can look at the list of prompts before signing up and veto from one to three prompts that would be triggery/uncomfortable for you to write about. If you need more than three prompts vetoed, please contact the hc_bingo_mod by PM or e-mail and we will do our best to work with you.

- The warning policy is the same: even if it is in the prompt, you are still required to warn for rape/non-con, dub-con, incest, character death/suicide, graphic self-harm, any type of sexual trauma, any type of child/domestic abuse and other triggering themes or images. The other warnings are left to your discretion, though we encourage you to warn as fully as possible. When in doubt, please err on the side of caution. If you don't want to warn for something to avoid spoiling the readers, please use greyed-out warnings.

Please also check the rules and FAQ for general rules and requirements.

Please title your post "May Challenge: [Title of your submission]" and use the following template:

<b>Author:</b> (your name here) <b>Fandoms:</b> (name of the fandom) <b>H/C:</b> (list of prompts) <b>Title:</b> (name of your submission) <b>Medium:</b> (fic, art, icon, recs post, vid etc.) <b>Rating:</b> (G - NC-17) <b>Warnings:</b> (all appropriate, etc.) <b>Summary:</b> (summary, notes, preview for icons etc.) (optional)

"Why are you here?"

Pythagoras' life is long and eventful; filled with both joy and loss. Through it all one friend stands at his side, constant and reassuring, but is everything as it seems? Or is something else going on that the mathematician doesn't want to acknowledge?

A story of a friendship and a life told through a series of conversations and scenes between two old friends.
