December Bonus Card Blackout (overlapping with a diagonal bingo on my other card)

[suzume]

For reference purposes, my personal card: (here)
My overall thoughts: Layering prompts is my favorite thing ever! More bonus monthly cards, please! :D
About the stories: All but one were written in my notebook and aren't typed up yet, so I'd estimate they're roughly 300-700 words long. They're all set in the same universe (of my hopefully a novel). I'm thinking I might set up a filter for this stuff on my journal...?

-The first 9 stories make up the December bonus card blackout and 'Preliminary Screening,' 'A Belated Farewell,' 'Unexpected Reunion,' 'It Will Be A Long Night Yet,' and 'Land of Wealth' make a diagonal bingo on my own card. ...and I'm not done with this card yet!

One last thing, for the record, since they figured in so many of these pieces- Leo and Fio are the pair featured in this icon. :)

Oh wow, yay! :D So glad that you liked the layered prompts and the special card! We're kind of hoping to do them on a quarterly basis or so. :D

Heh heh, yeah, I really did! :D A quarterly basis sounds great. I'm hoping that I can get through the rest of my card I'm interested in filling (I came up with a pattern to do that uses all but 4 spaces) in January and come back for a new one at the beginning of February.
