WHAT IS SVT RAREPAIR BINGO?SVT Rare Pair Bingo is a low-pressure fanfiction challenge to show love to the rarepairs of Seventeen. Participants will receive a bingo card and attempt to create works to cross off squares and fill up various rarepair ship tags on AO3!This event does not have check-ins or a hard deadline (with the exception of the end of the round, after which mods will continue to promote works until the start of the following round). This means that creators can submit as many or as few works as they would like until the end of Round One. Our goal is simply to get authors in the Seventeen fandom engaged with rare pairs in a fun and low-pressure way! Our fest runs on EST, which is currently UTC-5.HOW TO PARTICIPATE
1) Your chosen ship must have less than 500 fics posted when sorted by “otp:true” on AO3 — poly ships included!
2) This bingo event is 18+ only.
3) Once creators receive their bingo cards, they will have until the end of the round to submit fills and cross off tropes.
4) To submit fills, creators will post their work or a link to their work on Twitter along with their bingo card with applicable spaces filled or crossed out, tag @svtrarebingo, and use the general hashtag #svtrarebingo. Works can also be added to the AO3 collection.
5) This bingo has no points system, and no prize, but top participants will be announced at the end of each round!
6) We trust creators to tag all content appropriately, if you see inappropriately-tagged content or content that violates our guidelines please bring it to our attention.Feel free to recommend any fics for qualifying rare pairs via DM or Retrospring, and please consider sharing and commenting on fics you enjoy to show the authors you appreciate their hard work!

I HAVE A QUESTION...1) Are crossover pairings allowed?
Crossover pairings are allowed as long as a member of Seventeen is apart of the main ship!2) How many squares can I cross off with each bingo fill?
As many or as few as you would like! You can do one at a time, two at a time, or full rows/columns of your choice all at once if you feel the want to!3) How long do written works have to be?
The minimum word count for this round is 1k words!4) How do I sign up?
All you'll have to do is fill out the Bingo Card Request form via Google Forms, and you're all set! You'll receive your bingo card within 3 to 4 days (unless something outside of mod controls happens - which will be notified about via Twitter)!5) Can I use my bingo card after the round ends?
Yes, please feel free to continue to fill out your bingo card once the round ends! Just be sure you submit it to the right collection on AO3!6) Can I use ongoing works or works for other events for this bingo?
No ongoing works can be submitted for this event, but if you are already working on something for another event that fits the criteria, then you're free to! (Essentially, only WIPs are allowed to be submitted, not fics that are already posted and currently ongoing on AO3!)7) Are there any banned topics/content guidelines?
CONTENT WE WILL NOT ACCEPT: Incest, SA/rape/non-con, beastiality, extreme dub-con, extreme descriptions of abuse of ANY kind, vore, pedophilia/grooming, underaged sexual content.
Violence will be allowed, but descriptions of it must be kept minimal and not excessive.8) What if I’d like a new card?
Creators are allowed one brand-new card via card reshuffle, and can reshuffle 3-4 squares up to two times.9) How many cards can I request?
You can request one card at a time, but as many cards as you would like! As long as you have filled in your bingo card before it.10) Do I get points for space fills/bingos?
No, as this bingo event will not be running on a point system of any kind. This is a rather laidback type of bingo event!11) What if my ship has more than 500 fics before the end of the round?
If your ship has more than 500 fics before the end of the round, they will still be accepted into the collection! However, that ship will no longer be eligible as a rarepair when the next round begins.12) How can I get in touch with mods if I have any questions?
If you have any questions for the mods, please feel free to reach out to our DMs on Twitter via @svtrarebingo, send a question to our Retrospring, or shoot us an email at [email protected]!

This includes poly ships, as well.WHAT IF A SHIP REACHES THE 500 LIMIT DURING THIS ROUND?If a ship reaches over the 500 fic quota, to no longer be considered a rarepair within the AO3 tags, then that ship will be removed from eligibility when the next round begins!
