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]
| FILL: TEAM GRANDSTAND, [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!
FILL: TEAM PRINCE OF TENNIS, T

Word Count: 412 words

“Sousuke!”
The boy’s shout echoes in his head and he isn’t sure why. It’s just a name. It’s not his name. His name is the Winter Soldier.
(No. That’s a title. Only titles have ‘the’ in front of you. You don’t say the Will Smith or the David Brown. But if that is a title, what is his name?)
Was Sousuke a target perhaps? Did he eliminate that person? Will the boy come after him for revenge? Sometimes people do.
He thinks he’d like that. He’d like to see the boy again with the strangely colored hair and the mouthful of sharp shark teeth.
...How does he know what shark teeth look like? Has he ever eaten shark? The upgrades done to his body have been drastic. He does not eat food but intakes nutrient slurry instead, a vile-tasting slush that’s full of all the vitamins and proteins and carbs that he needs. Sometimes it comes in solid form, sometimes in shakes but it always tastes like someone already threw it up once.
He isn’t sure why he still has tastebuds. Maybe they’ll remove those in the future. Maybe he should suggest it to them, show them that he’s cooperative and --
No. No. They don’t like him to think. They don’t like him to use sentences with ‘I’. He is not a person, he is a weapon, and weapons do not make suggestions on how to upgrade them.
He breathes out slowly, relieved to have escaped such a close call. Such thoughts are traps. They were trained out of him but his training has proven less than effective lately. He keeps thinking of that boy and the way he called out that name.
It sounded wrong. Maybe that’s why he remembers it? It wasn’t angry, it wasn’t scared. It was something else. Something he has not heard before.
No. He has heard it before. He has just never heard it directed at him.
When he has to take hostages, people shout their names in that way, in that tone. But he hadn’t been holding a hostage then. He’d been all alone.
So that can’t be it either.
Maybe the boy will come after him anyway. He’d like that. He could get an explanation then. He could--
He is a weapon. Weapons don’t like things. Weapons don’t dislike things. Weapons do what they exist to do and that is the extent of their existence.
Still, he thinks, he almost remembers liking the boy.

Re: FILL: TEAM PRINCE OF TENNIS, T
Also Sousuke and the soldier/shoulder thing is such a good idea. Thank you so much for prompting i! I really appreciate having something so deliciously angsty to write.
