I definitely felt like bingo was awesome in encouraging outside-the-box thinking in a more abstract way than trying to make Elf-fanciers write Hobbits or Gondor fans try First Age or romance buffs attempt horror. Because you only had to include each prompt--it didn't have to be the focal point of the story--it almost let people dip their toes into uncharted waters without taking the full plunge! :) A lot of people seemed to stretch their limits last year.
