In the r/Fantasy Bingo of 2023, which categories does NAME_1 by NAME_2 fall in? The squares/categories are: ``` 1) Title with a Title: Read a book in which the novel title contains a job title, military title, or title of nobility such as locksmith, lieutenant, or lord. This title can be something that is bestowed upon a character (such as "hero") and it can include fictional titles that are only in the setting, such as Legendborn by NAME_3*.* HARD MODE: Not a title of royalty. 2) Superheroes: Story focuses on super powered individuals. You know, heroes and villains and capes. HARD MODE: Not related to DC or Marvel. 3) Bottom of the TBR: Read one of the books that’s been on your To Be Read pile (TBR) the longest. If you do not keep a TBR, read one of the books that you have been meaning to read for the longest time but haven’t yet. HARD MODE: None. Actually finishing a book you’ve been putting off for so long is already hard enough. 4) Magical Realism or Literary Fantasy: Read a book that portrays magical or unreal elements in an otherwise realistic or mundane environment. These books are often found on literary fiction shelves and book lists and not always shelved as genre fiction. This is a hard square to pin down as what makes something literary or magical can often come down to vibes, so use your best judgment. No saying A Game of Thrones is literary fiction since there aren’t a lot of magical elements. Check out this thread for further ideas and guidelines. HARD MODE: Not one of the thirty books in the linked thread. 5) Young Adult: Read a book that was written for young adults. HARD MODE: Published in the last 5 years. Second Row Across: 6) Mundane Jobs: The protagonist has a commonplace job that can be found in the real world (so no princes or monster hunters!). We are also excluding soldiers as they are already extremely prominent in SFF. HARD MODE: Does not take place on Earth. 7) Published in the 00s: Read a book that was published between 2000 and 2009. HARD MODE: Not in the top 30 of r/Fantasy’s Best of 2023 List. 8) Angels and Demons: Story must feature angels or demons or both in a prominent role. HARD MODE: The protagonist is an angel or demon. 9) Five SFF Short Stories: Any short SFF story as long as there are five of them. HARD MODE: Read an entire SFF anthology or collection. 10) Horror: Read a book from the horror genre. HARD MODE: Not NAME_4 or NAME_5. Third Row Across: 11) Self-Published OR Indie Publisher: Self-published or published through a small, indie publisher. Provide response in all capital letters, no lowercase letters allowed.
