Kink bingo doesn't want anyone posting anything to the comm at all: they suggest posting to a journal or to Archive of Our Own (which only does fanfiction) or someplace else. Possibly to avoid having this type of issue, where someone has a lot of stories in a bingo and needs to post them. ;P

I'm gonna make a modly decision here and say that we don't want anyone posting individual stories to the comm (ie, no one-story-per-post type of things) unless it is during Amnesty and they're not going to use them for a bingo. Right now we have upwards of 80 members on this comm, and if we post our stuff individually, this is going to get really high-traffic really quickly.

We DO want to allow you a place to post your fiction, though! Here are some options:

1. Make a sockpuppet journal for your fics, post them there, and link to them in your bingo posts over here. This is maybe one of the easiest options, technical-wise, though I realize that switching between journals is a pain. Another option is, say, make an alternate Google account, use Google Docs to store your fics and then do the "share as webpage" option. There are settings where you can share the page only with those that have the link, so if you post the links on a members-only post, that should be pretty secure.

2. Don't post until you have a bingo, and stuff as much of the stories for that bingo as you can into one post. DW post limits are 300,000 characters (by comparison, I wrote~35000 words of big bang that was a little over 200000 characters). This is a lot of space. It's going to make for some really huge posts, but I really can't see any other way around it. For your particular hypothetical blackout, the same thing holds: stuff as much as you can into one bingo post (Blackout Bingo post1!), then spill over into another bingo post (Blackout Bingo post2!).

3. Write/post your blackout in stages: Say you know you'll do a blackout, but you finish with the first horizontal line way before everything else. Post your finished line as a bingo (Blackout Line1!) before you're finished with everything else. Then, as you finish other lines, post those as well (Blackout Line 2-4!). Then, as you post your last line, make a point of saying "YAYZ MY BLACKOUTS IT IS DONE!" and include in that post some links to all your other blackout stories that you've posted.

This is what comes to mind, and all of these options would be fine, so far as I can see. If you've got any other ideas, just let me know, and we can discuss! :)
