Compared to some, I guess I was sort of moderate, but it felt plenty crazy to me! But some participants were simply amazing! That was when B2MeM support was founded, for card addicts.
I drew up the texts for one card (Snippets of Verse). [ETA: it looks as if I actually drew up the Talents and Skills card myself, too. I had forgotten that!] I picked comparatively few cards: seven, I think, and was quite careful about my choices: the card I had drawn up myself, one card for characters I wanted to write (Women of the Silmarillion), three for background cues (Weather, Landscape, Talents and Skills), one for a formal challenge (Poetic Forms) and the review card. I did not keep up with every single one of my prompts that was called and in the end I never got a confirmed BINGO, but I wrote quite a few pieces for ongoing WIP projects, as planned, and quite a number of spontaneous stand-alones. I also did most of the reviewing for the review prompts. And I picked up some ideas for future fics. Here's the summary I drew up at the end of the month in my journal: http://hhimring.livejournal.com/13505.html.
It was actually a very difficult month for me in RL. Part of me was wondering all the time what I was doing, immersing myself into B2MeM when all those things were going on in my life. But I think the B2MeM craziness actually helped, by being so entirely unrelated to my other problems.
