The Terror Bingo

Do not fear, the plan, very much, is to run the Bingo this year! But we may need a little extra time to get up and running, so we will be sure to keep you updated when we plan to start.

Lastly: When is the Bingo running this year?
Good question, ideally we’d love to be raring to go on the usual Nov. 1st but given the current mod busyness, we can’t yet confirm that’s our start date. It will depend a bit on how quickly we can bring in new mods and what changes we want to implement.

The Terror Bingo Survey Please fill out this survey to give feedback on the Terror Bingo experience. Responses are anonymous, however there is an option to provide contact information at the end should you wish to be reach...

So hit us with your thoughts (about the event) and please fill in our survey here: forms.gle/LibJPr1ZbgDU...

Have a prompt you really want to see included? Well, wait no more, we’re looking for feedback! We’re especially excited to see what you have to say about the prompts, and very especially, New Prompt Ideas.

Secondly: Survey Time -
It’s been a while since we’ve heard from you and that makes us sad, so it’s time to whip out a trusty little survey. Ever wanted to really let us know what you think of the Terror Bingo? Have some opinions dying to be heard (about the Terror Bingo)?

Bingo Mod Application, 2025 The Terror Bingo is looking for new mods! The Terror Bingo is a pretty chill event with no deadlines or chasing of participants. Moderation duties are light but consident until the end of March 2026....

Ever fancied modding a fandom event? Love the Bingo? Then we’d love to hear from you: forms.gle/sf2P4T31aG6e...

[We will be looking at the responses on a rolling basis weekly from Monday until we feel we have a comfortable team.]

We’re particularly interested in hearing from those who would find it fun to create new graphics (bingo cards and stickers) and those who love social media. More information on exact duties (light but consistent!) can be found in the application form linked below.

Firstly: New Mods!
Quite a few of the current mods are juggling many things at the moment, so to make sure the ball isn’t being dropped we’re looking to add some new mods to the team. Also, Tree is stepping down! (Thank you, Tree!)

Anyway, dramatics aside, this year we want to try to shake it up a bit…

Hi All!

It’s that time of year again, yep, it’s Terror Bingo prep time! The Terror Bingo, in various iterations, has been running for 6 long years (with this upcoming being our 7th), can you believe it? A seven year old fandom… god we’re so old.

a tiny caricature of a drunken francis crozier in episode four of the terror (2018). he is holding a glass and looking surly. there is a human thumb in closeup next to him for scale; the nail is painted dark green and is larger than the drawing.

I didn’t actually hit a (presentable) bingo in @theterrorbingo.bsky.social this year, but I really like the self-imposed challenge I gave myself at the start of last month when I realized work and other creative projects had kept me from starting it on time: literal thumbnail drawings.

Until we meet again -

TTB Mods Tree, Leo, JD, and Jeems

You might also see some changes to rules next year, including new policies around remakes. This is to help us as mods get cards out the door quicker when we open next year. We will be sending out a follow up survey, so keep an eye out for that, and if you have any suggestions, feel free to share!

Without your participation, Bingo wouldn't be possible. We are looking forward to developing new methods to streamline the card-making process to prevent some of the gaps in timeliness you saw this year.

This is only the end of the formal event; you are free to continue creating using your Bingo cards. We just won't be checking up and sharing things regularly after today, creating new cards, or filling sticker requests.

We are so grateful to be part of this community and run an event like Bingo each year. It's always so much fun to see what people create.

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

We had 153 sign-ups this year, and we are so grateful for the participants and the patience we've been granted through our issues with technology. What an incredible turnout!

Today I bring you Bridglar wedding! ☺️💕 In a canon, no homophobia AU. Written for the prompt "flowers" of @theterrorbingo.bsky.social
And it's also based on a prompt the terror February flash 2025. ☺️

Mini clay head-and-shoulders model of Francis Crozier in a navy jacket with gold buttons. He looks a bit grumpy, it’s probably just after Sir John has made a monumentally stupid decision. Hen’s egg for scale, which is almost twice the length of the model.

And finally, for another line! I used the free square on my #TheTerrorBingo card to make this mini Francis. It’s my first time using clay in maybe 40 years so I think he’s come out okay. I might make him into a brooch. (Egg for scale) @theterrorbingo.bsky.social

Coloured pencil drawing of a video game screen with the heading ‘choose your character’. On the right are 6 thumbnail images of Lego mini figures: Hickey, Blanky, Goodsir, Gibson, Crozier and Silna. Blanky is selected and appears in a larger image on the left. The text under the larger image reads: Blanky. Special skills: ice mastery, humour, loyalty, grit. Weapon: forks. The figure has a wooden leg and is tied round with rope and forks.

This for a line on #TheTerrorBingo - the prompt was ‘a character study’. @theterrorbingo.bsky.social

I'm determined to write for my @theterrorbingo.bsky.social so I can get a bingo this time. This is werewolf Tom Hartnell who has a crush on Collins. Canon AU, with mentions/guest appearances by John Hartnell, Strickland, Morfin and more. Pre-slash.

Children’s puzzle-style maze with cartoon drawings at the entry and exits. A jumble of roads lead from Francis Crozier to Tuunbaq, a pot with body parts cooking, and Silna (the safe option).

And another entry for #TheTerrorBingo - this time the prompt was ‘A safe passage’.
@theterrorbingo.bsky.social

Coloured pencil drawing of three fragments of china. Each is with with a band of blue at the rim and a thinner line of red below.

A very simple drawing for the prompt ‘teacup’ in #TheTerrorBingo : fragments of a teacup from the Franklin expedition, held at the Royal Museums Greenwich. @theterrorbingo.bsky.social

Pencil drawing of David Young, ship’s boy in The Terror, after death. His skin is blue and his head is wrapped in a spotted cloth.

Okay I’m churning them out now because #TheTerrorBingo ends on Monday and I want stickers! The prompt here was ‘Concealing an illness’. @theterrorbingo.bsky.social

Pencil drawing of Ciarán Hinds as Sir John Franklin.

For the prompt ‘a spiritual man’ on #TheTerrorBingo here’s Ciarán Hinds as Sir John Franklin. He’s not quite right but if I keep rubbing bits out I’ll go through the paper 😆 #TheTerror @theterrorbingo.bsky.social

Cartoon drawing of Henry Goodsir and Silna (Lady Silence) from the TV show ‘The Terror’. Silna has a calm expression; Goodsir looks at her and grins, and love hearts are above his head.

Marking off another square on my #TheTerrorBingo card. The prompt was ‘If I can’t have you…’. #TheTerror @theterrorbingo.bsky.social

A coloured pencil drawing of capuchin monkey Jacko from The Terror, in the style of a prayer candle. He has a halo and a flaming heart and a scroll reads “He Died From Our Tins”.

I’ve been busy making other stuff but now here’s something for another square on my #TheTerrorBingo card. The prompt was ‘Jacko’. #TheTerror @theterrorbingo.bsky.social

There’s just one week left until the end of this round of The Terror Bingo! Remember, after the end of the month you can still post prompt fills, but we won’t be giving out any more stickers and we may not be online to share your fills to our social media. Good luck in this final week!

but card requests will be shuttering soon. (If you post a fill after the deadline there’s still a chance it’ll be shared on our page but we won’t be online as regularly to check.) Thank you all for participating in making this a great Bingo!!

Due to the short notice, we’ll be giving you all a last chance to request a card by March 8th. Remember, the actual Bingo deadline is March 31st, so there’s not much time left! The mods will still be online to help you out in these last few weeks, and your work will still be shared on our socials,
