Biggles Bingo
Who wants to play a rousing game of Biggles Bingo?
rachelmanija,
scioscribe and I were playing around with this online bingo card generator and realized you could make a really fun bingo card - in the style of Hurt/Comfort Bingo and others - using a list of things that appear in the Biggles books. So that is exactly what this is.
Sample card below! Yours will look like this, but with a somewhat different selection of prompts. (Click the arrow to see the card.)
Comment below to receive your own 5x5 bingo card! You can do whatever you like with it: use it for creative inspiration (for Biggles or any other fandom), show it off, laugh at it, play party games with it. You can use the prompts as literally or figuratively as you like; they mean what you want them to mean.
Some people like to try to make a bingo by filling prompts in a line across their card (vertical, horizontal, or diagonal). The Hurt/Comfort Bingo page has some other possible shapes. You could also write adjacent prompts into the same fic, or use all the prompts in a line together, or see how many of the prompts on your card you can get into one fic ... whatever you think is fun.
"Wild Card" is a free space. You can put any prompt there or leave it blank.
Ready for a card?
Click the arrow below to view the full list of the possible prompts that may appear on your card. Comment to request a card. You can veto up to 5 prompts that you don't want on your card at all.
If you'd like to be completely surprised, go straight down and click "reply" below and ask for a card!

I would like to veto the Ruritanian ones, as well as pirates, stowaway and flogging.
All the prompts look great, but I'm especially delighted to see decapods and electric centipedes on the list.
