Bonus Round 2: Tic-Tac-Toe
Please read this whole post before commenting to ensure that your team gets the most points possible. There's a lot of text here, but if you read carefully and follow the instructions step by step, you will be okay.
RULES
Please refer to the first comment thread of this post for an example of how this round works.PROMPTING
- Select a ship to create your prompt card about. Platonic relationships are indicated by an "&" between the names (e.g., Haruki & Kazuma). Non-platonic relationships use "/" (e.g., Haruki/Kazuma). Please don't say "Any pairing," either!
- Visit this card generator.
- Here is a visual guide to using it.
- The large text box is where you can list prompts if you have your own ideas. Please list at least 9 prompts; you can list more if you want. (The generator says you need at least 24, but it's lying.) Single words or short phrases are better than sentences.
- Otherwise, you can use the dropdown menu found right below it. Note: some of these prompts lists are NSFW. (NSFW prompts are a-ok as long as you tag for it.) If you don't like some of the options that appear in a prompt list, you can delete them.
- Text prompts only, please. Also, each card square must be unique—don't list the same prompt 9 times.
- In "Configuration Options," make sure you select 3x3 and (Normal prompt). This is the most important step!
- Leave the tic-tac-toe card with its default colors, so everyone can read it clearly.
- Click the "Create a bingo card" button.
- Scroll down to see the card that was created for you. If you don't like the prompts it picked, you can reroll by clicking "Create a bingo card" again.
- When you're satisfied, scroll further down the page until you see a textarea box full of HTML.
- Copy and paste the HTML from the box and into the body of your prompt comment, then post!
FILLING
Fill prompts by selecting an individual square to create fanwork for, then leaving a responding comment to the prompt with your newly-created work. (Optional:) If you can fill three squares from a prompt in a horizontal, vertical, or diagonal line, you get a tic-tac-toe (and an additional point bonus)! You can also just fill prompts as you please and get standard points.
- Prompt squares are labeled as follows:
A1 B1 C1 A2 B2 C2 A3 B3 C3 - If you're trying for tic-tac-toe, you cannot combine squares into one fill. If your fill can satisfy multiple squares, pick the most relevant square: e.g., one square is sailing and another is pirates and you make a fill about pirates sailing, it's mostly pirates so put down the pirates square.
- Each fill must stand alone as an individual piece, but all your fills can slot into a larger universe if you'd like.
- You cannot fill a prompt square more than once, but you can fill every square on a tic tac toe card if you want to.
- You cannot work with your teammates to get a tic-tac-toe. Only individually achieved tic-tac-toes get the bonus.
- Multiple people can fill the same prompt square. You cannot "block" others from getting tic-tac-toe.
- Remember to also follow the general bonus round rules, outlined here.
- Here is a prompt/fill index for your convenience.

Bonus round shenanigans all happen in the comments below. Brand-new works only, please.Required Work Minimums:

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 for each tic-tac-toe card (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
Tic-tac-toe Bonus: 2 points each for the first 12 achieved by your team
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!

In which Midousuji keeps going to his already passed mother's room to find it occupied~ Those prompts are great and I will surely draw some more, I wish I could actually write things for them though ;w;

Re: FILL: TEAM GRANDSTAND, [B2], [G]
The colors are great, the expressions are wonderful- you especially captured young Midou's confused face very well (especially since it's shown the room stayed empty for a while, but suddenly, a new face!)
I love this a lot, the autumn leaves are lovely, the watercolors in a simple moment-- it's great!!
Re: FILL: TEAM GRANDSTAND, [B2], [G]
Re: FILL: TEAM GRANDSTAND, [B2], [G]
staaaares HOLY. Those are GORGEOUS. Just the colors alone are making me stare in awe. The way you use yellow light, the glass shine, the harmonious color palette – it’s amazing. I could stare at these for AGES, they’re that love. I really like how expressive their faces are too! The big smile on Manami and the huge blank eyes for Midousuji and you can gave them little noses! And the SHADING on Midousuji’s sweater and the way it hints at so many colors, and the tiny car in the background!
This is just amazing. Like, seriously amazing. You’ve got such a good use of positioning/framing as well, with Manami on the left and the window frame dividing the picture to frame him, and Midousuji right in the middle with the game framing him. I’m just amazed at the emotion in these two pieces and how beautifully you conveyed them. And the use of the red-gold leaves on the tree complemented by the flowers in the vase in Manami’s room!
…I honestly can’t even tell if you used real watercolors or if you did this digitally but either way, it is AMAZING. stares at the shading on Midousuji’s cheeks and eyes and the flush on Manami’s face and the hectic bright-pallor of his skin Holy cow. What sort of control do you have?! I. Yikes. YIKES. I am impressed right now and so very, very awed.
Thank you for these two gorgeous pieces, they are LOVELY and I adore them! And I am super looking forwards to whatever else you do!

I thought this was going to turn out angsty but as soon as I started that went out the window. All for the best!
***
Midousuji’s energy deserted him abruptly after the peak. He retained the strength to steer himself safely to the side of the road and collapse on the grassy verge. He didn’t need to do anything more than that.
As of a few hundred meters back, their unofficial score stood at two victories each. For a moment he thought Manami had kept coasting down the road without him, at least until his opponent flopped down beside him, head resting against his shoulder.
Manami’s breathing sounded raw. Every three or four breaths it would catch in something like a laugh. Midousuji thought once again that there was something wrong with the climbers in his cohort. The few that could keep up enjoyed it way too much. It was creepy.
“I though my heart was going to burst.”
“You should make it so easy for me.”
Manami really did laugh at that. “You wouldn’t like it if I took it easy on you! I don’t like having you fall before we’re done with each other, either.”
Midousuji knew it was true, but he scoffed anyway. “I’m sure your team is quietly praying I drop dead so I can’t challenge them again. You must be the only crazy one.”
“No one on my team is that weak,” Manami snapped. It was so difficult to provoke Manami that success was startling, and even that gasp of anger was gone by his next breath. “Besides, knowing you, you’d keep going just to spite anyone who didn’t want you to.”
“So that’s what I’m living for? Spite?” Midousuji put one hand over his face, spread fingers cutting up the sky. He would break apart everything that stood before him and write his name in the rubble. “That sounds good.”
Manami had turned so that Midousuji felt breath on his neck, and the feeling that spread along his skin wasn’t anything like spite. Sometimes Manami touched him (sometimes it was only Manami’s breath or his voice or that crazy smile that touched him) and he wanted to be touched more. The part of him that dealt in cold logic said asking for more was playing into someone else’s hands.
“Or are you saying that once I run out of rivals I won’t have a reason to keep living?”
Manami didn’t answer that. Midousuji listened carefully to the quality of his silence. Both of their breathing had settled and deepened, and Manami was listening too. Midousuji might call that waiting silence ‘curiosity’ but it sure had a lot of interesting sharp edges for him to poke.
“Think once I completely defeat you I’ll go quietly to the other side?”
“I died before,” Manami stated, perfectly matter-of-fact.
“You died.” Midousuji saturated the words with scorn. It might well be that angels were beautiful and not to be trusted, but he still wouldn’t believe that Manami was one of them.
“My heart stopped, anyway. I don’t really remember how it felt now. So I think dying must not be that interesting.” He paused for a few seconds before adding in a lighter tone, “It hurt after they woke me up.”
The punch line was supposed to be that he didn’t need Manami to live, a petty response for Manami saying “knowing you,” but now Manami had dragged them far enough off track that delivering it wouldn’t have much effect. Now he could see it never would have had the desired effect at all.
When he didn’t say anything, Manami’s fingers bushed his forehead and then moved up to rub at his freshly buzzed hair.
Midousuji had learned from experience that if Manami really wanted to touch he wouldn’t want to stop for a while. He swatted at the hand and drawled out, “Ma-na-mi,” in a threat that never failed to make the other boy grin.
Manami rolled into him, forehead to forehead and nose to nose.
“Being alive is better.”
Midousuji could never get used to what happened to Manami’s eyes when he calmed down. They held the pure, terrifying sincerity of one who acts without thinking, and Midousuji rolled his eyes away from that kind gaze.
“I never said it wasn’t.”

( I'm sorry as I guess this is way too far from the original prompt but one the thing I like the most about this ship is their mutual hurt towards their loss against Onoda and I kinda wanted to go with this;;; )
