Yeah, it's Kink Bingo time. I will be participating, as I have done for the past two years, but before I even sign up I would like to make a promise to all of you.

Last year I was a complete jackass about my card and I made some people feel bad about their kinks, which is the exact opposite of what Kink Bingo is meant to do, and once it was pointed out to me that I was being an asshole I kind of hated myself for a few days. So I'm not going to complain about my card this year, because it was seriously uncool of me to do that, and I am trying to be a better person. I understand that the stuff that squicks me hardest is the stuff that some people love the most, and I'm sure the reverse is true too.

So I promise not to be a douchebag this year, and if I break the promise, feel free to take me to task about it, because I absolutely do not want to denigrate anyone's kinks or make anyone feel bad about liking the things they like. I'm going to keep my opinions to myself, like I should have done in the first place. And if I get a card that makes me unhappy again this year, I'm going to suck it up and put on my big girl panties and deal with it like a mature human being and not a childish bitch.

I'm sorry again for my behavior last year, I'm really, really sorry to anyone I made feel bad with my thoughtless words, and I'm not going to do it again, I swear.

Also, I may be soliciting assistance in finding appropriate stories to podfic as fills, once I figure out what bingo I want to go for. You all came up with some really fantastic ones for me last year, I hope my line this year will be as interesting.

Although, OOH, they allow original fic this year for the first time, so I may very well fill everything with writing this time around! I haven't finished a piece of fanfiction in almost a full year now, but I've been writing original fic pretty steadily, and I have a much easier time handling my own characters now. (Which isn't to say I don't miss the days when I was pumping out 30K of Heroes fic in a month, but I haven't been seriously inspired for a fandom since the Star Trek movie came out, which is kind of sad.)
