Bonus Round 1: AUs
SASO 2017 is over, but this round is perpetually open to new fills (no new prompts).
Please read this whole post before commenting to ensure that your team gets the most points possible. (There are changes from last year!)
RULES
- Submit prompts by commenting to this post with an alternate universe idea, along with a ship from one of our nominated fandoms. There's a comment template below for your convenience.
- Your prompt MUST include some kind of relationship. (This is not the sports anime gen olympics.) Platonic relationships are indicated by an "&" between the names (e.g., Izumi & Sakaeguchi). Non-platonic relationships use "/" (e.g., Izumi/Sakaeguchi). Please don't say "Any pairing," either!
- An AU can be a canon divergence, e.g. "what if [character] was the Team Captain instead of the canon captain character?", or a completely different setting altogether, e.g., pop idol AU, coffee shop AU, superheroes AU, etc.
- Fill prompts by leaving a responding comment to the prompt with your newly-created work.
- Remember to follow the general bonus round rules, outlined here.
FORMAT
Bonus round shenanigans all happen in the comments below. Brand-new works only, please.Required Work Minimums:
- 400 words (prose)
- 400px by 400px (art)
- 14 lines (poetry)
Format your comment in one of the following ways:
| If PROMPTING: | If FILLING: | If FILLING as a TEAM GRANDSTAND participant: |
PROMPT: TEAM [YOUR SHIP]
| FILL: TEAM [YOUR SHIP], [RATING]

|
Posts not using this format will be understood to be unofficial discussion posts, regardless of what they contain. They, like all comments in this community, are subject to the code of conduct.
If you see anyone breaking the code of conduct (e.g., causing drama, being rude) anywhere (not just DW), please contact the mods immediately.
SCORING
These numbers apply to your team as a whole, not each individual teammate. Make as many prompts/fills as you want!For prompts: 5 points each (maximum of 50 prompt points per team per round)
For fills:First 4 fills by any member of your team: 20 points each
Fills 5-10: 15 points each
Fills 11-20: 5 points each
Fills 21-50: 2 points each
Fills 51+: 1 point each
All scored content must be created new for this round.
Etc.
If you're hunting through the prompts looking for what to fill, a good trick is to view top-level comments only (see the line of links below this post).Have a question? Check The FAQ first. If you still need help, feel free to contact the mods. Happy fanworking!

They still Stride. The school club’s been disbanded but that doesn’t matter to the three of them, not when their love of the sport is stronger than their need for official approval. Heath’s sister is their sponsor; instead of Striding for Honan, they Stride for D’s and compete on the National level instead of the high school level.
Riku sees his brother’s face in the Stride magazines. He see his brother in the clothing adverts on billboards. He sees his brother walking down the hallway, animated and glowing quietly as Kuga and Heath pace alongside him with bodyguards.
He sees Tomoe at home and he’s so frightfully, shamefully jealous.
He’s not a bad brother. He doesn’t want to be. Tomoe’s a hero, in a way - he convinced the others to tell the truth about what happened when Heath’s leg got injured, he told the others they could Stride even without school support.
But it’s because of Tomoe that there’s no Stride club at school. It’s because of Tomoe that Riku will never get a fair chance to try.
He’s not good enough for the Nationals, not as a rookie with zero official training and without a school club, he’ll never get the experience and training he needs. The TKH trio is complete; they don’t need another runner and even if they did, he’s just not good enough.
He’s reminded of his own incompetence every time he runs with Tomoe. Even if it’s just a warm-up jog, Tomoe pulls far ahead and Riku’s left panting for breath, staring at his brother’s receding back. Tomoe often reaches the end of the path and turns back to meet Riku; they jog back to the house from there, Riku never running as far as his brother does because of that.
He’s not a bad brother but sometimes he wonders if Tomoe is. If Tomoe even realizes how hard Riku fights to keep up. If Tomoe realizes that because he moves so much faster, keeping up with Tomoe means that Riku gets less practice even if they’re out running for the same period of time.
In his bitterest moments, he wonders if Tomoe even realizes he has a brother. Heath talks about his sisters all the time in magazine interviews and yes, Riku knows that’s partly advertising, partly just paying back their sponsor but still, Tomoe never mentions him. Even when he’s asked about his workout routine, he doesn’t say that he jogs in the morning and night with his brother, only that he jogs twice a day.
Riku’s not a bad brother but he’s starting to feel like an only child.
