Hrm.... the way the other bingos I've seen have dealt with blackouts is that they tell you to wait until you've done your blackout to post, then make a post with links to all the pieces. Which is fine, really, if you want to wait and do that at the end.

In general we suggest that if folks have a bingo in mind, that they don't post until that bingo is finished. That's just to encourage consolidation, really. But with blackouts I know that that can be a long wait and you might not even be sure if you'll finish it.

If you really don't want to wait and don't want to make one ginormous members-only post at the end (and DW would probably handle it, their post limits are ridonkulous), I'd suggest maybe breaking it up into several smaller chunks: maybe you could do it line by line? Post each line as a bingo (Call it Blackout Part 1, Blackout Part 2, etc if that keeps you motivated!), and then at the end make a "hey, another bingo and LOOK A BLACKOUT! XD" post where you include your new stories and then maybe links to all your other stories? How's that sound?

Really, whatever way makes you happiest and doesn't spam the comm TOO MUCH is fine. :D
