Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use OC/Character (character/reader etc) pairings? Can I use crackships? Can I write crossovers?
Yes, as long as it’s anchored in some way to Criminal Minds! This includes using characters from the CM spinoffs Suspect Behaviour and Beyond Borders.
Can I interpret the prompt as ___?
Yes, you can interpret the prompt in any way you like.
Can I use multiple prompts in one fill?
You can, but in the spirit of the challenge, your word count should reflect multiple prompts. For example if you fill two prompts in one fic, it should be at least 1000 words, rather than the 500 word minimum for a single fill.
For art or other kinds of fanworks, use your best judgement as to the spirit of the challenge.
Where should I post my work? How should I track my bingo card?
Anywhere you like! Make your own link to your fics on tumblr, create a series on Archive of Our Own, do both!
You can use the bingo card we provide and edit the image with prompts stamped/marked off as you progress.
You can tag your fills, bingo updates or WIPs with #cmkinkbingo2024 on tumblr.
We also have a collection on AO3 for your works here.
Do I have to wait until the deadline to post my fills? Can I discuss my fills on tumblr/discord etc?
You can post them as you create them, the deadline is for completing 1 line, 2 lines or a blackout.
You can discuss/share your fills wherever you’d normally talk about works in progress.
I really don’t like/can’t fill a prompt I’ve got, what do I do?
If you’ve got a prompt that you are struggling with, and its inclusion is keeping you from completing a win state (1 line, 2 lines, blackout) contact us, and we will assist with modifying your card. Please only do this if you’re really stuck!
I've completed a line, do I have to black out the board before I can request a new card?
As soon as you've completed at least 1 line, you can request a new bingo card to try again for another win. Send us a message, and let us know you'd like a new card, and if you want any already completed prompts excluded from the new card.
Can I create a mix of fiction and art fills?
Yes you can.
Can I count something I've already published as a fill for my bingo?
No, works should be new for the challenge, or at least mostly new. For example, if you've written a 100 word drabble that fits a prompt that you decide to build on for a fill, this would still be in the spirit of the event.
Can I publish something for a fill that is also part of an existing series?
Yes, as long as it fits the criteria for a fill in its standalone form (500 words/finished piece).
