minchan bingo is a multimedia fanwork event for stray kids’ bang chan and lee know!

bingo cards are generated based on a list of common tropes (suggested and voted on by participants) and creators can create as many or as few works based on their cards as they'd like during the creation period. because of the long creation period and the variety of tropes, minchan bingo is a low pressure event - we just want everyone to have fun and create what they want to create.

minchan bingo started in 2021, and rounds one through four have resulted in more than 2,000,000 words of fic being added to ao3 - yes, over two million words!
