If you're interested in frequent B2MeM updates, please join
b2mem. (Likewise if you'd like to share your B2MeM projects there!) I will be posting weekly updates here as well, but
b2mem is the place to go for the most up-to-date information on the event.
We are off to an awesome start! We have about 20 BINGO cards (not all have been posted) and 23 participants signed up to play. Thank you to everyone who's given this year's B2MeM such an enthusiastic reception and jumped right into making the event one to remember!
If you hear a sad whimpering sound when you visit the card claim page, that is because I have several orphaned cards: Cards that were requested on a form without a name and that, therefore, have no author or artist to call home. :(
If you've requested BINGO cards in order to participate in this year's event, you should have received a confirmation email from me by now. If you have requested a BINGO card and have not heard from me, please get in touch with me as soon as possible! I've received four requests now without names on them. I cannot set up your cards for you if I do not know who you are! :) I realize that, in the excitement of viewing the cards, this field is easily overlooked; I've added a reminder at the bottom of the form, which I hope will help. In the meantime, if you requested cards and never received a confirmation from me, please comment here, email me at DawnFelagund@gmail.com, or resend the card request form.
One player used a LiveJournal email address; that email address has bounced. I've set up your account, but you would not have received a confirmation from me, for obvious reasons. :)
The player page has now been added to our website. As of this posting, everyone who requested cards is listed on this page. Please check and make sure that 1] you're on there (and not one of the players who sent a card request without a name! ;) and 2] that I have assigned the correct cards to you.
During the event, my comods and I will be stamping cards as participants report that they've successfully started a challenge. This is the place to check to see how you (and everyone else!) is doing!
If you want to display your BINGO cards someplace, you're welcome to link to the images; if you need the HTML to do that, just let me know.
Aaaaand, last but certainly not least, we have some new cards to choose from! Many thanks to Dwim, Indy, Himring, Grey Gazania, and Lyra for the fabulous job they did in creating new cards! If you're interested in playing any of the new cards, please use the card request form or comment here with your author name and the cards you want.

Date: 2012-01-28 09:52 pm (UTC)So I do not know if you have requests for me pending, or if I did something wrong. I'll wait a few days. But right now I have no idea where I am with this requesting cards thing.
I have at least one more card I am making also which I have not submitted yet. It is a geography of the Silmarillion card.

If any are missing, please let me know and I'll add them!
The player page needs to be updated. I only have one card posted for you there. I'm currently mowing through a backlog on BINGO cards that need creating, and then I'll get the player page caught up.

Date: 2012-01-29 03:43 am (UTC)The basic gist is that we're playing BINGO this year. You can choose as many themed BINGO cards as you want. (Here's what we have so far.) We'll call a new BINGO number every day, and you can then respond to any challenges that match that number. (For example, if you have the Artifacts & Weapons card and we call B3, then you would create something related to the Silmarils.) You have two days to start working on a challenge in order to receive credit for it. The first person to reach BINGO, of course, wins, but we're going to continue calling numbers and playing until the end of the month.
Right now, anyone who wants to do so is welcome to help us create BINGO cards. (Here is more on how to do that.) The deadline for new cards is February 21.
