It's bingo time again. Let's have some fun with the following table:
To complete the challenge, grab all the prompts and blackout the card. You can do single works or combine the four prompts in one work.
No one will blame you when you decide to do only one or two prompts, though.
Allowed are fics up to 500 words, small poems like haiku or similar, icons (100x100 px), and small graphics up to 500 px width x height. Please stay to the maximum, even if you decide to use all prompts in one work.
All fandoms, genres, and ratings are welcome, as are original work and real-person work.
Please tag your work with all relevant tags.
This challenge runs until June 30, at midnight in your time zone.

Fortune Wheel 02.25: Playlist Week 7

![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
And here you find this week's playlist.
Short reminder:
You can post unlimited works, but the total weekly regular points are 15.
You don't have to use both prompts, but you can reach maximum points by using one prompt only.
The lucky color can bring some extra points when following some special rules (optional!)
The color is always connected with the given prompt (color 1 belongs to prompt 1 / color 2 belongs to prompt 2)
You can earn extra points once for each prompt.
Color blue = write a fic in first person or create three icons with a plain blue background
Color orange = write a crossover or create a graphic work based on two different fandoms
Color yellow = write a 'dialogue only' ficlet or create two 'text only' graphics bigger than an icon
Color white = write an poem (haiku is fine) or create two icons based on any RL character(s)
Color green = Joker: you will earn five extra points for free
Color red = Zonk: you won't earn any extra points for the connected prompt
Complete rules/points H E R E
If you want to participate in the team challenge (even if you didn't sign up, feel free to join as a joker at any time), go H E R E
Don't forget that you have three wildcards to swap a prompt for any from your prompt list. The lucky number remains unaffected!
Catch up
Some participants have missed posting last week. They are marked with 'catch up' in the list.
For this week your maximum points increase from 15 to 30.
You can use each lucky color twice to earn some extra points (Joker excluded!).
Hiatus List
Participants who have missed more than three weeks in a row will be moved to the hiatus list. Don't worry, this is only to keep the playlist easier to handle. You are more than welcome to jump back into the game at any time.

Posting for this week officially ends Sunday, June 29 17.00 UTC. There is a grace period until the week is finally called 'closed'.
