Be a Goldfish 2026: Punch Cards
Dec. 15th, 2025 01:42 pmWith just two weeks until start, we wanted to take a moment to shine a light on something new we're trying this round: Punch Cards!
( See Punch Cards )
The rules are simple: every week that you leave a comment on someone's work and/or share one of your own, you can punch, stamp, or otherwise mark this handy punch card.
You can do all comments, all works, or mix it up week to week. You can even challenge yourself to black out an entire card for both!
While technically speaking, these squares correspond to the weekly prompts, it's your choice as to how closely or loosely you adhere to that schedule. If you would like to follow the prompt schedule, comment on someone else's entry for that week's prompt (which may or may not be possible) or share one of your own.
All of this is completely optional and exists merely to provide an extra bit of fun, and a practical goal for those who desire it. Who doesn't need something to strive for sometimes?
Whether you mark a single square, or get a black out, share with us! Post your card or a link to your card to the community so we can all bask in your awesome fists of fury. Your fistabilities (this is a punching things reference. nothing else). We would especially love to see the works that led you to mark off each square, you may very well have the beginnings of a rec or masterlist!
We've provided both a full color digital card and a black and white printer-friendly card. For maximum quality you can download them from this drive folder (for printing we reccomend something wallet- to postcard-sized).
