battleshipexI'm lumping these together because they ended up overlapping, and by completely avoidable unfortunate circumstance, I spent two weeks trying to juggle both simultaneously.
Eyeshield 21 Prompt Bingo actually started in April, but after a lot of big plans and daydreaming (and very few fills), my output sort of petered off partway through. (It didn't help that the bingo squares that I managed were nowhere close to making a bingo.) Then suddenly, before I knew it, there was only one week left - which also coincided with the first week of Battleship! I plotted out a multichapter fic, hitting 1-2 prompts per chapter, that would indirectly take me to bingo by the end, and tried my best to speedwrite it!
Battleship was a super unique exchange where participants were divided into two teams, each with their own battleship board. To fire on the enemy team's board, we had to create fanworks containing tags assigned to each square. It was so cool to see a social and strategic take on exchanges, and chat was very lively. Having the prompts to create for, and a sense of deadline-inspired urgency, was very motivating (not unlike Prompt Bingo, actually)!
Anyway, rather than describing how it all played out, here's a hasty chart/timeline I made.
( How it went! )
( What I wrote! )
Moral of the story? Prompts on grids + deadlines = good for my productivity, I guess.
