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.

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!

Midorima set down his pen and read over the letter critically. The realities of life on the front simply could not be shared with his family back home but if he didn’t write to them, they would worry. Nothing but those letters guaranteed that he was alive.
He did his best to sound his usual self when he wrote to his family. His younger sister always had such cheerful letters for him, full of details about her work at the home front. The censors sometimes blacked out her words, of course, but enough remained for him to get a sense of how much of a sense of purpose she had and how determined she was to turn the tide of the war through her own efforts.
If only Midorima could say the same about his own work.
As a doctor, he was kept away from the frontlines but the frontlines kept shifting. If his patients could not be evacuated, Midorima had decided, he would not be evacuated either.
Without his care, they were likely to die.
(Even with his care, they were likely to die. Supplies were short, triage was brutal and everyone was so overworked that sleep had become a dream in itself.)
A knock sounded on his office door and Midorima looked up.
“Come in,” he called out, wondering what fresh calamity he was about to be informed of. When he saw a head of light blue hair poke around the door, Midorima relaxed.
Kuroko was a very unlikely harbinger of doom.
“I brought your tea,” Kuroko said, navigating around the mounds of paper and haphazardly piled boxes of supplies.
“Thank you,” Midorima said, reaching out to take the cracked tea cup from Kuroko. The substance inside only resembled tea insofar as it had been made by boiling leaves in water but Midorima was grateful for it nonetheless.
“Kise-kun’s doing better. The surgery on his foot was really a success - he even managed to limp a few steps today. Aomine-kun’s shoulder is doing better too. He was sitting up and talking to nurse Momoi.” Kuroko knew that Midorima appreciated the updates on his patients and was careful to only cherry pick the good news.
Some days there wasn’t good news. Those were the days that Kuroko used his share of rations to flavor Midorima’s tea more strongly.
“Any news from Captain Akashi?” Midorima asked, taking another sip of the hot almost-water.
“Not yet. He and Murasakibara have yet to return from patrol.” Kuroko started tidying up the papers automatically, shifting a mass of them to the side of the desk to give Midorima more room to write.
He spotted the folded-up letter and asked helpfully, “Shall I send that through military mail?”
“Please,” Midorima said gratefully, gesturing for Kuroko to take it away.
Even in the middle of the war (especially in the middle of the war), a good colleague was priceless.

A really lovely, thoughtful fic.
Re: FILL: TEAM PRINCE OF TENNIS, C2 T
Vaguely inspired by the Their Charioteer but also equally inspired by the TONS OF WORLD WAR II POETRY I'VE READ. cries
My biggest problem was doing enough research to give it a Japanese feel rather than English since that's the WWII setting I'm most used to writing it. XD I originally put Murasakibara's sister in the Wrens before catching myself.
I'm sure Akashi and Murasakibara will be fine! Or maybe Murasakibara tried to desert and Akashi had to use force of personality (aka Emperor's Eye) to get Murasakibara back in line.
