Thanks so much for your interest! Unfortunately though, I'm not going to have the time this year to host ninbingo again 😭 The boards from the previous years are all still available if anyone wants to challenge themselves again, but I won't be making new boards, hosting games, reblogging creations, and the like this time.

If someone wanted to take over running ninbingo this year I would potentially be open to that though! Feel free to message me if you're interested in taking it up.

While I'm not doing ninbingo this year, I am planning on hosting a ninjago fic rec week sometime this summer (probably on @21st-century-ninja, potentially on a new blog if it seems like there's a lot of interest)! Details to still be worked out but I'll probably post some polls in the near future :D

Prompting opens!

Woohoo! We've made it to the first stage of fic fest: prompting period! If you have an ao3 account, you can now officially head over to the prompting page to share your ideas with the world!

Don’t have an ao3? You can also submit prompts through this google form (only use this option if you don't have an ao3 account.) Prompting will run from April 6th to April 27th.

Remember:

  • Prompts must be SFW
  • Prompts can be about any aspect of ninjago, including but not limited to seasons 1-16, DR, books, comics, or the movie!
  • If you do submit a prompt about dragons rising, please write DR SPOILERS at the top of your prompt
  • Want to participate in the event but writing for your own idea and not someone else’s? There will be an option for self-prompting when claiming opens.

In celebration of prompting opening, there's also a silly little gif prompting game over here! Screenshot and share your results and what ideas might spawn from them.

Don't know how to prompt? The forms, both of them, are pretty self-explanatory, but if you want a more detailed breakdown, click that read more.

Welcome to Ninjago Fic Fest!

What's a fic fest?

A fic fest is an event not unlike a secret santa in which fic writers create a story based on someone else’s prompt. The twist here is that instead of some mod assigning you a recipient, you get to choose the prompt that you write! Prompts are submitted by the community (writers and non-writers alike) on ao3, and over a period of two months writers will create a fic based one of those prompts.

How do I participate?

There are two ways to participate in the fest: prompting and claiming/writing. No sign up is required for prompting, and you can decide at any time within that two-month period whether or not you're going to write. You can participate in just prompting, just claiming/writing, or both!

Ninbingo may have a revival in August, but if you’re looking for something to do until then, consider checking out fic fest!

Final Recap!

Welcome, everyone, to the final recap of Ninbingo Round Two!  It’s been awesome having you all this year, and I hope you’ve all had a good time :D

There may or may not be another ninbingo next year; I’m planning on maybe hosting a different event in the first half and so I might be event-ed out :D  However, if you enjoyed (or not! all feedback is good feedback!) would you consider dropping your thoughts either in the askbox or this form?  It would really be appreciated.

Our bingo achievers for this round were @21st-century-ninja @ace-of-spaces @emisnt2; you can view all their works (and everyone else’s) here!  Super epic congrats to everyone, but them specifically for their dedication!

Lastly, if there’s any late straggler submissions over the weekend, then just tag me in them and I’ll update this post :D Thank you again, everybody, and have a great rest of the year!

Change and fate by @sebilini

cw: blood

“DAD!”
Lloyd, the Green Ninja.
Lloyd, the one chosen by Fate.
Lloyd, the one who has to see his beloved father undergo a painful, tragic transformation.
His father is being possessed by the Overlord.
His father is in pain, in agony, he is screaming in anguish.
And Lloyd, the Green Ninja, is destined to defeat this father of his.
It hurts. His stomach feels sick, he wants to run to his dad and hug him, tell him it’s okay, that he’s there for him. But he can’t.
It’s Lloyd destiny to defeat his dad. Perhaps it means killing him.
Tears are streaming both of their faces.

Ghost and regret by @/sebilini

cw: death

In a dark cave Morro, the master of wind, has died. He looks down on his dead body and feels nauseating, burning, choking regret. He could have had family. He could have been loved. His regret turns into anger and hatred. He will have revenge on those who caused this.

Rough-housing by @kaiyc-arts

so basically Kai and Lloyd consistently fight over snickerdoodles (its a sibling thing)

Fic:

_IN_A_O_ by @ninjago-happens-heretumblr || ao3 || prompt: games

Ninjago Singapore
Awfully similar names, wouldn't you agree?
This is a slice of life fic set in a less American Ninjago, where walmarts and targets are instead fair price and cold storage.

"don't age just yet" "I'm not!" by @master-of-flufftumblr || ao3 || prompts: secret and smile

The ninja throw Lloyd a surprise birthday ft. Waffles, a scavenger hunt, and siblings being siblings

got a crown on my head by @21st-century-ninjatumblr || ao3 || prompt: hugs

The ritual was to bring back the evil part of his father, the oni part, and so Harumi drew on the darkness that lay latent in his bloodline and dragged it into the open.
Lloyd grips the edge of the bathroom counter, trying to calm his heartbeat. The ritual is over. They stopped the ritual in time, and Harumi’s being carted off to prison, and the ritual is over so why haven’t the horns gone away?
or:
Lloyd looks like a monster. At one point, Cole did too.

Reference Letters by @/21st-century-ninja.  tumblr || ao3 || prompts: reveal and confrontation

Kai thinks about what Lloyd said at the beginning of their conversation. How many people have pretended to be this kid’s friend, only to stab him in the back? He doesn’t have anyone.
And, well, Kai happens to have a friend group dedicated to hating Garmadon anyway, so there’s only one natural conclusion to be drawn here.
Lloyd needs to join the Secret Ninja team.
or:
tasked by Green to find new recruits for the team, Kai finds his eye drawn back over and over again to one particular person. Now if only Green would get over whatever issue he has with Lloyd Garmadon joining.

The Act of Giving by @unknownuncuttumblr || ao3 || prompt: hugs

Jay really needs to think before he acts.

The Candlestick and the Electric Bat by @frozensoapbubbletumblr || ao3 || prompt: laughter

Kai and Jay are fooling around with their newly discovered elemental powers: a pre-season 1 ficlet.

What It Means To Come Home by @/unknownuncut.  tumblr || ao3 || prompt: bonds

Just like Alice, Zane falls down the rabbit hole.

I had obviously plans for the prompts "hugs" and "reveal", too, but that multi-chapter fic didn't get beyond the outline stage before life got in the way ... So I'm closing this board unfinished, but I've at least posted my oneshot The Candlestick an the Electric Bat to AO3. I'm using creator's choice to insert a prompt from the verve board, Laughter (hope I did that right). Thanks to @ninjago-bingo for organising Ninbingo - it was fun and inspiring and exciting even though I didn't have as much time and energy for writing as I thought!

Excerpt and ninbingo board under the cut; the prompts were confrontation and reveal!

Kai starts to notice him more and more often.

There’s probably a principle or something to it.  Now that Kai has Lloyd Garmadon on his mind, he can’t help but see him everywhere: in the back of his classes, against the hallway walls, in the shadows of the school.

And he’s not even doing anything out of the ordinary!  He’s still doing his normal routines, his normal routes; nothing has changed but he’s suddenly realizing just how easily Lloyd Garmadon fades into the background of everything.

_IN_A_O_ (chapter 1)

Ninbingo: Games

Zane would say that technically, their first time in Ninjago city was when they jumped off the Destiny's Bounty at night in order to stop Pythor's plans.

But Kai (respectfully) disagrees. They had spent more time in the sewers than on the streets. And it was at night!

Well, with the bounty...destroyed, the ninja had to look for a roof over their heads, and they could only trouble Cole's father for so long.

"I JUST WANNA KNOW, WHO ATE MY PUDDING CUP?" Jay shrieked at the motley crew. "Jay, come on, just give it a rest!"

"NO. I AM NOT LETTING IT GO THIS TIME." Jay huffed and aggresively pointed a spoon at everyone in the room, even Sensei Wu. "We are getting to the bottom of this, ninja, as one or more of you needs a reminder on HONESTY."

"Jay-"

"IT'S THE FOURTH TIME THIS WEEK-"
