I've just been looking at Camp Sparkle pictures and oh man, Camp Sparklers. I miss you all so much right now.

I was a little wary of actually looking because I hate seeing pictures of myself, and knew some had been taken during the reading of the Lava Lamp story where I was laughing so hard that I knew I'd look deranged, but I like them. All of them. Pictures of us in our tiaras and hugging and the huge bed and in the garden and watching Glee on the laptop and why are you all scattered around the world and not right here with me!?

In other news, I was seriously considering signing up for kink bingo, a case of sink or swimming as it were. I gave myself a stern talking to. That I love reading about kink and will happily talk about it, then I felt my Victorian Spinster Aunt bonnet settle on my head and knew that I was deluding myself. Because sure, if pushed I can write sex, but it takes serious effort. Why torture myself when that time could be used to write cold boys huddling for warmth, talks around kitchen tables, angst and woe and suffering oh my!

But I did consider it, because clearly I'm insane.

*deep sigh* Next year!

Much fun as it would be to hear you lament your inability to write sex I guess it's a wise choice to not sign up. I'm glad that you did consider it though, you wouldn't be Terri if you hadn't ;-P

Perhaps there should be a h/c bingo? With little score cards and everything. It's a quite popular genre after all, I'm sure there are heaps of writers willing to sign up.

You'd better come next year or we'll kidnap you!

If I had signed up I'd have whined disgracefully. It's better for us all that I didn't.

H/C bingo! That needs to exist. Now!

Camp Sparkle sounds hilarious and awesome.

You need hurt/comfort bingo - actually now that I think about it, it seems strange there isn't a hurt/comfort bingo. If you want a bingo-ish thing there's wtf27 (edit: I did remember right wtf27 all the info is on the profile page) which has stuff like animal transformation and bodyswap. I've always found writing sex really hard. It makes me giddy and I have to restrain myself from writing about quivering members, rampant lingams and other purple prose's mainstays. Every time the sign up rolls around I think that maybe I should and try to get over my giddiness but much like you realism wins out for me.

Camp Sparkle is amazing. Despite seeing most of the people once a year it always feels like yesterday when I see them again.

Dude, h/c bingo! I started doing wtf27 back in my popslash days, and got a third of a way through a story where Nsync were trapped in this futurist prison thing and had to go through these doors and suffer each prompt.

But that's still not as good as h/c bingo. Hearts in my eyes!

What you need is clearly a h/c bingo. :D

I would be all over h/c bingo! Just thinking about it is giving me heart-eyes.

You made my evening today ♥

Oh darn, I just missed this year's Camp Sparkle by a hair, didn't I? :-( I remember hearing about it from Noora a couple years back. Eh, maybe next year, when I get all this visa stuff taken care of and can travel without having to explain myself. Now that it's only a short flight away, I'd be sad not to be able to see you all!

You did miss it! But that's okay, you just need to come over next year. Especially as you live so close.

Like rikes said, you need a H/C bingo... and then, if you get that, I totally get a First Time bingo :D

Also, when I am there at the end of this year, if I can bug you into meeting up again, we MUST get a photo this time :)

A H/C bingo would be awesome.

And dude, like I'd need bugging to meet you again!
