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.

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

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!

Ren keeps his eyes on the little cotton swabs in his hand, carefully dabbing at the scrapes on Abe’s knee. They’re sitting in the bathroom, first-aid kit spread out on the floor while Abe perches on the bathtub and Ren kneels in front of him.
“I can do it myself,” Abe says again.
Ren picks out the bits of gravel still stuck within the cuts, and Abe doesn’t quite manage to hold back his winces of pain. “I’m helping Abe-kun,” Ren says.
“Yeah,” sighs Abe. He sits still, shifting his leg to allow Ren a better view. Silence falls between them again.
It was a nasty fall he took, and a rather stupid one, too, in Ren’s opinion. Abe would probably argue differently. But Ren doesn't have the heart or energy to argue with the other boy—he never did, never does. Especially not over something like this. It’s Ren’s fault, really, he should have checked before he crossed the street but it was a small back road and anyway, it’s not like any of the cars around here go very fast. And the driver saw him, Ren knows this because the car slowed. But Abe, stupidly brave and caring and self-sacrificing Abe, had to run after Ren to shove him out of the way, only to end up hurt himself.
Ren keeps his face down because he doesn’t want Abe to see the ugly scowl on his face. The more he replays the accident, the more angry he is. Ren’s not used to feeling this way. He doesn’t like it at all.
The cotton swabs and Abe’s knee start to go blurry. Ren pulls away, wiping his eyes with his sleeve. He presses his lips tightly together to keep any sounds from escaping.
Abe shifts on the bathtub. “Mihashi...?”
Ren keeps quiet.
A few moments pass like that, the both of them unable to find the right words. Ren throws out the cotton swabs, trades them for the proper salve and bandages. He works methodically, keeping his touch gentle but firm. His hands don’t shake, but his lower lip does.
“Mihashi,” Abe says, and Ren pauses with his hands on the bandages. “Are you angry at me?”
“N-No.”
“Mihashi.”
Ren squeezes his eyes shut. “Yes!” he bursts out. “I’m angry at Abe-kun! For risking a bigger injury, for getting hurt—You’re hurt because of me.”
Abe sighs. “I might have overreacted a little, back there. But at least it wasn’t you. If you’d hurt yourself, I’d be really upset.”
“I’m! Upset that you got hurt!”
“I know.” Abe reaches forwards and places a hand on top of Ren’s clenched fist. “I’m sorry, Mihashi.”
Ren stares at him. Abe’s expression is somber, mouth tilted down, gaze steady. It’s familiar, echoing back to that lost game all those years ago, when they were both fifteen and young but still so desperately clinging to each other. They’ve moved past that now, grown up a bit, learned to trust in each other a bit more. But sometimes, Ren thinks they haven’t really changed at all.
“Okay,” he says. He breathes out, and lets his anger and fear dissipate slowly. He finds Abe’s eyes again, and tries for a small smile. “Okay,” he repeats.
Abe lifts his hand and brushes his fingers through Ren’s hair. Ren leans into the touch. “We’ll both be more careful next time,” Abe agrees, and Ren nods, a promise.
