### ADDITIONAL POINTS TO READ BEFORE TURNING IN YOUR CARDS!

#### Questions? Please ask!

#### Turn-in Guidance

- Please make an effort to spell titles and author names correctly! For titles with more than one author, please separate author names with a comma. This will help with data compilation for a bingo stats thread coming later!
- If you didn't do a square, don't list it. Please leave incomplete squares completely blank on [the Tally form](https://tally.so/r/waz2j9).
- Please continue to fill out squares even if they didn't lead to a bingo though, part of our hope is to use this to generate discussion on books. 
- You can substitute any square, but please remember: __only one substitution per card.__ On [the form](https://tally.so/r/waz2j9), there's a substitution dropdown for each square. If you accidentally choose a substitution for the wrong square, please de-select the substitution to clear it.
- Please make a note if you did a square on hard mode. On [the form](https://tally.so/r/waz2j9), there is a hard mode checkbox for each square.
- Only turn in your card(s) once you have finished with bingo; do not submit a card still in progress. If you're using [the Tally form](https://tally.so/r/waz2j9), there is a review page before submission; please make sure that you click submit after double-checking your entries! You __cannot__ edit your card once submitted, so if you realize you've made a mistake, please post in this thread to notify us.

#### More than one card?

If you did more than one card, and are submitting [via Tally](https://tally.so/r/waz2j9), please differentiate your username for each additional card. For example, I would list my first card under "JaymesRS@literature.cafe" and my second under "JaymesRS@literature.cafe - 2".

#### Timeline

Submit your __finished__ card(s) by May 1st, 2025! __This thread and [the Tally submission form](https://tally.so/r/waz2j9) will remain open until 12 noon, US Central Time (UTC -5) on May 1^st^__ as a courtesy, so please make sure your cards are turned in by then, so they can be counted.

#### Reward

Any five in a row is considered a win! Your only reward this year (as of the time of posting) is the warm glow of satisfaction and bragging rights. However, our ultimate plan is to recognize bingo participation with a flair-like system in the future, so we plan to calculate completion retroactively whenever that's available. 

### In Closing
Again... [HERE IS THE LINK TO THE TALLY FORM TO TURN IN YOUR CARD](https://tally.so/r/waz2j9) (or you can comment in this thread). The form goes live on April 17^th^, 2025, and both it and this thread close around noon on May 1^st^, US Central Time (UTC -5). Be sure to get your card(s) in before then!

Thanks to everyone that participated this year! This was a fun challenge to put together for us. If you are interested in helping to coordinate the bingo challenge or related resources, please reach out to the moderators of !books@lemmy.world and let us know!

Leave a review, not just ratings—even if it's just a few lines of thoughts, that counts. As with Hard Mode there is no special prize for Hero Mode, just the satisfaction of a job well done.
