hc_bingo is having Amnesty Mini-Challenges from February through May. And the February Mini-Challenge gives you a little four-square 'postage stamp' containing 3 h/c prompts and one Wild Card square (prompt of your choice), which you're supposed to include all in one fill.

Take a gander at my postage stamp! (not sure why it won't display as its original square, but oh well):

WILD CARD
sacrifice
family
hiding an injury / illness

...oh man, it's like the randomization algorithm knows me. :D

I signed up for hc_bingo last year, and got the most promising card...but what with one thing and another (most especially the great big Dreaded Project I was completing), I only completed one fill with no bingo in sight.

Luckily, arduinna has reminded me that 1) it's time for another bingo round, and 2) there's no penalty for not posting anything last round! Whew. I appreciate that, and now that I no longer have the anvil around my neck, this time will definitely be Bingo Time!

( I am rubbing my hands gleefully over my card... )

Oh man, so good. SO GOOD. And so very delightfully compliant with various canons I have in mind! I mean, look at the very righthand column going down... "depression, nervous breakdown, unconscious, cuddling, drugged". Around here, we call that Tuesday I Spy episode 3x12, "The Lotus Eater". (Which one could view on Hulu.com here, if one were in the US or used a proxy server.) The second column down, "confession in desperate situation, medication, dystopia, job-related trauma, exhaustion" is a dead ringer for Person of Interest ep. 1x18, "Identity Crisis" ("Good night, Nathan." !!!), which was the episode I posted this about (nonspoilery emotional reactions ahoy).

Not, of course, that a bingo line needs to be--or even should be--all from one canon. But I just love seeing patterns on the card that sound like they come right out of a show. It says a little something about my preferred entertainment choices, I suppose. *g*

Also: I love how "hugs" is its own prompt. In the giant list of prompts, it's been easy for me to overlook some of the simpler entries, especially the ones that run counter to many of the rest by being focused on the C rather than the H--two of which I got on my card, in fact (hugs and cuddling). \o/
