Fanfic Reading Bingo

dianafortysevenNow that the days (in the Northern Hemisphere at least) are getting shorter and darker, why not enhance your fanfic reading experience with a fun challenge?
Generate your own Fanfic Reading Bingo Card and try to finish it over a timespan of your choice (e.g. during your next family gathering).
Generate a new bingo card until you're (mostly) happy with the results. You can then re-roll every single bingo field separately by clicking/tapping on it. When you have a card that fits your reading habits (or that takes you out of your comfort zone, if you want to challenge yourself), take a screenshot of the card to keep it. Closing the page and reloading it will reset the card.
There are no fanfic-negative or bashing items in the lists. This bingo card is meant to be a positive experience and celebrate fanfiction and fanworks in general.
It's just a little practice piece I made for funsies mostly over the weekend, with some finishing touches earlier today. I will add more content over the next few days and weeks (and let's be realistic, probably months), but everything that's currently in there should already work as intended.
The bingo generator is responsive, which means it should work on desktop and mobile. The mobile layout isn't ideal yet, I'm trying my best to make it better (but I'd also still consider myself a newbie and I'm learning by doing).
The platform I'm using, Perchance, recently added AI options for their generators. This is a regrettable decision that I don't condone, and I'd like to emphasise that this generator is 100% handcrafted chaos.
Leaving the NSFW checkbox unchecked should remove all NSFW tags and tropes, but you could still come across content you find objectionable. Leaving the AO3 Tags checkbox unchecked removes all tags, but you could still come across tropes you find objectionable.
This bingo generator can be used to generate totally safe-for-work or family-friendly bingo cards, but it was created by an adult with an adult audience in mind.
If you run into any issues or come across any bugs, please let me know. If you find something that should be in the NSFW category, but isn't, please also let me know. It's possible that I missed a few tags when I worked through the list. (But don't ask me to remove content you find objectionable.)
It's possible that I come up with more ideas for more lists at one point. :)
I had lots of fun making it, and I hope that you'll have fun with it. If anyone ends up using it, let me know when you got a bingo! :D
If you have fannish accounts on there (or don't mind inflicting fandom on your regular followers), you can also share the Fanfic Reading Bingo on Twitter, Mastodon, and Bluesky!

What do the checkboxes mean?
- NSFW is basically what it says on the tin. If you tick this box, the NSFW tropes will be added to the mix. If you also ticked the AO3 Tags box, NSFW AO3 tags will be added.
- AO3 Tags is also what it says on the tin. It's a list with roughly 1,000 AO3 tags. Around 250 of them are currently marked NSFW and can only be generated if you ticked both the NSFW box and the AO3 Tags box.
- Stats & Meta currently only includes the lists "length" (contains wordcounts ranging from drabble to >500k) and "meta", which currently contains items like "a work with a song lyrics title" or "a work in a series". I will probably add other lists to that category at some point.
The already populated lists
- challenge (various challenges and events like Yuletide, Whumptober)
- creator (items like favourite author, anon creator)
- discovery (various ways you could've found a fic)
- fandom (ranging from tiny fandom to megafandom, also options like old fandom, inactive fandom, etc)
- length (wordcounts from drabble to over 500k)
- medium (items like podfic, fandom meta, fic with fanart)
- meta (a fic's front-end and stats, also "citrus scale for rating" xD)
- platform (where you read the fic)
- reader (your relationship with the fic; is it your comfort fic, or your first fic in a fandom?)
- style (chatfic, iambic pentameter, custom workskin, stuff like that)
- trope (roughly 100 tropes)
- tag (roughly 1,000 AO3 tags)
Lists that are currently planned, but empty
- canon (probably stuff like anime fandom, video game fandom, etc)
- category (planned to add the AO3 categories and maybe Archive Warnings to this list)
- content (might be scrapped, might be populated with some items moved over from other lists)
- genre (what it says on the tin)
- setting (where or when does the fic take place)
It's possible that I come up with more ideas for more lists at one point. :)
