2025 Reader Suggestions Bingo Card

2024 wasn't my best year for writing, and 2025 poses several challenges to my usual Winter Writing Season. Primarily my commitment to sew more this year - at least 1 sewing project a month. I stopped sewing for no discernable reason in 2014 (looks side-eyed at Depression) and I started to pick it up again a decade later in 2024. I want to stay committed to that goal, but am not completely willing to sacrifice writing.
So, a new strategy is necessary! Instead of a full monthly Bingo Card based on the bingo fest's happening on the AllBingo site, I've instead made all of the best looking fests their own square on my 2025 Reader Suggestions Bingo Card and I've filled the other squares with all the reader's suggestions I received in 2024 that I haven't fulfilled. As a month's bingo fest is announced I will come back to this board and update that month's square with a real prompt from the prompt lists given.
My plan is to make 200+ word fills for most of my prompts. These might not end up being a complete story for each fill, but many of them connect into longer stories in my ongoing series:

My plan is to make 200+ word fills for most of my prompts. These might not end up being a complete story for each fill, but many of them connect into longer stories in my ongoing series:
- The Earthen - Fantasy - The tales of The Earthen, tiny nutlike beings who live in warrens, and are highly cooperative.
- Green Skies G.T. - Cozy Science Fiction - The monthly logs of G.T., a sentient apartment dwelling, and it's inhabitants. Currently there are 3 monthly logs posted, and I'm actively writing the log for April 2053.
- OtherWorldly - Dark Urban Fantasy - Carnelle the Succubus is on the Hunt for a killer.
- RePrint - Science fiction - Althea has chosen to undergo an unusual medical procedure that will allow her to imprint new memories of important first experiences.
- Village Witch - Edwina - Steam Punk/Fantasy setting - These stories are being created as a playthrough of the Solo TTRPG "Village Witch." Edwina has a year to find the village where she belongs as their Village Witch.
- The Witch's Kitchen - Contemporary Fantasy - Lucia and Jeanette are opening the restaurant of their dreams, and it takes a little magic to make things work.
As the year goes on, I'd appreciate reader suggestions that expand on any word or phrase on the bingo card that I add through the Bingo Fests. Feel free to make suggestions that tie into my ongoing series or for something completely new.
