AllBingo Colour Fest

I am doing terribly at schooling myself to actually complete any of my existing bingos, but allbingo's latest one was too tempting to resist, so I didn't.

ETA: Now with re-done table without the duplicate:

yellow streak	follow the yellow brick road	white wedding	black velvet	blue blood
greyhound	canary yellow	at the end of the rainbow	true colors	red light
silver fox	purple squirrel	WILD CARD	red cross	whitewash
blackout	big yellow taxi	black eye	red in the face	golden boy
nothing rhymes with orange	black as coal	pot calling the kettle black	red flag	in glorious Technicolor

Now, the question is, what do I write for it, and how do I avoid my usual pitfall of still being here in two years time with 13 squares completed and no bingo yet? (And do I want to, or is that actually the best state of being? XD)

Some more fannish things

1. intoabar is open for sign-ups! I need to contemplate who to send into the bar this year - always the tricky bit!

Anyway, it is a great long-running fest where you sign up with a chosen character from one fandom plus a selection of 1-6 other fandoms, and then the mod(s) randomise you a character from one of those fandoms for your character to meet in the bar or bar-equivalent. Hopefully I will make the deadline this year for a change, but I usually manage to do it in amnesty if not, and it's too much of a favourite for me to miss it.

I need to decide whether or not to do what I did last year with particular-character-from-tiny-fandom + my regular fandoms as potential crossovers, OR choose a character from one of the regular go-anywhere fandoms and some smaller fandoms, which I have narrowed down to "fandoms I haven't already used for 51pluscrossoverfandoms" because that seems like a sensible plan. I'm leaning to the second at the moment, in which case I miiight do Fifteen, but I'll swear to nothing until the day that sign-ups close.


2. tardis_remix went live yesterday with 10 works, and I've very much enjoyed what I've read so far. I haven't quite finished yet.

romanajo123 did a fun little remix one of my old meme ficlets, even though I didn't write anything myself (which I am a little sad about; I adore a Remix, but it was not realistic this time around):
