It took me yonks, mostly because I got stuck on my fifth fill (did it want to be a drabble or a full-length fic? I have scrapped SO MANY WORDS trying to figure that out), but behold! I have achieved a Bad Sex BINGO!

( Bad Sex Bingo card )

Behold the fills! Three drabbles, one double-drabble, and a 221B:

• Only One Of Us Is Taking This Seriously: Ridin' Bareback, Sesame Street, Bert/Ernie
  
  
• Accidental Somnophilia: The Sweet Snore of Success, ACD Canon, Holmes/Watson
  
  
• Embarrassing ER Trip: Perk of the Job, Doctor Odyssey, Max/Avery/Tristan + Rosie
  
  
• Furniture Break: Bang! (Goes the Bed), Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, Holga/OFC
  
  
• Wish You'd Get Off the Phone: Baggywrinkle, Bush/Hornblower
  

I would also like to direct your attention to a delightful podvid inspired by the Bert/Ernie drabble: Ernie Bangs Bert's Big Bass Drum, by ks_reads.

Happily, I completed Bad Sex Bingo just in time for me to receive my bingo card for Keep Fandom Weird:

Some of those seem substantially less weird than others ("Epistolary" has far too venerable a literary history to qualify as "weird", imo), but there are nevertheless some fun possibilities there.

My check-in: More work on the pod-together stories. Today was largely "what you need to know to enjoy this story" fandom summaries, but also a handful of titles and working out some of the posting details. ("A handful of titles," fml.)

My check-in: More researching of minor details that past!me left for some future!me to solve. Now that I'm future!me, it is ABUNDANTLY clear why past!me made them someone else's problem; each one is taking a stupid amount of time to resolve.

What Is Write Every Day?
A roving writing support community, with a bias toward encouraging a daily writing habit. It's a decentralized community, without moderators or a fixed home; hosting duties are passed around among members of the community. nafs is hosting the first half of July; I'm hosting the second half, starting on the sixteenth. (By my time-zone: tomorrow.) zwei_hexen will take over in August. If you want the history of who hosted when, zwei_hexen keeps a list.

Who can participate?
Anyone! Drop in on any check-in post to say that you wrote that day. If you want to talk about victories, challenges, or process, feel free to do that, too. If you'd like to cheer on or commiserate with another commenter, please do -- conversation is encouraged!

What kind of writing?
Whatever you like. I'm here to help you meet your goals, not set them for you.

How much do I need to write?
Any amount counts. The traditional minimum unit is the so-called "alibi sentence" -- a single sentence that lets you check in and say you've written today. But you don't have to write new words, either: editing, transcription, outlining, and other activities that get you closer to a finished draft all count, too. If you think it counts, it counts. I'm not here to police your process.

How often do I have to check in?
Drop in or out at any time, or check in for several days at once, if you like. Please check in on the most recent post and say what day(s) you're checking in for, so I can keep the tally straight.

What does the tally look like?
For each day, I list the people who checked in for that day, and I publish the updated tally in every check-in post, so you can double-check my work.

Housekeeping
As host, I'll be publishing daily check-in posts, distributing encouragement in the comments, and keeping a tally of who checked in what day. I'm in Pacific Daylight Time (UTC -7), and plan to post the daily check-in during my evening. (A few hours later than this post went up.) I know my proposed posting time is very late for many people, so don't feel you have to wait for the new day's post -- just check in on the most recent post, whenever is convenient for you. Whatever post you use, please include what day you're checking in for, so I can keep the tally straight.

I'll also be using a consistent tag for these check-in posts ("write every day") so feel free to block or bookmark that, depending on your interests.

If you have any questions, please ask them in the comments!
