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!

Square: Accidental Scars
Word Count: 429 words
A little kid gets accidentally hurt and there’s some description of blood.
***
“Take care of your brothers,” Mother tells Yumiko before she goes out to do the grocery shopping. Three children are too many to manage in a grocery store and besides, Yumiko is 15. That’s old enough to take care of a 5-year-old and a 4-year-old. All she has to do is keep an eye on them for an hour or so.
“Take care of your brother,” Yumiko tells Shuusuke importantly. “I have to study so I need you both to be very quiet.”
Shuusuke nods seriously, big blue eyes wide. Yumiko knows better than to trust that look but she has an important test coming up tomorrow and really, how much trouble can the boys get into if they’re in the living room?
She makes them sandwiches for snacks, puts one of their favorite shows on TV and sits down at the table to study.
Twenty minutes later, loud bawling interrupts her concentration.
Yuuta’s always been a crybaby so she doesn’t worry at first. Shuusuke probably just played a trick on him. She blocks one ear with her hand and tries to go back to memorizing her notes.
Then she feels a tug on her trousers and looks down to see Shuusuke staring up at her with wide eyes and red hands.
“Nee-chan,” Shuusuke whimpers, still pulling at her trousers. “Yuuta fell!”
She’s out of her chair before he’s finished talking, running to the sound of the screams. Yuuta’s holding his forehead, both fat little hands clamped down over it, and there’s blood gushing down his face. He pauses when he sees her, just long enough to take a deep breath, and then resumes screaming.
“Let me see!” She snaps frantically, pushing his hand away to try to gauge the damage. There’s a deep pocked hole in Yuuta’s forehead, wet and pink rather than red. The little white threads in it make Yumiko’s stomach twist.
“Shuusuke, get the phone,” she orders, picking up Yuuta in her arms. He feels heavier than usual, bawling so loudly it’s make her head ring, but all she can think is how much he’s losing and what if he bleeds to death?
She calls for an ambulance first and then she calls her mother. She’s crying so hard by then that her mother doesn’t understand but she doesn’t need to. The moment Yumiko gasps out, “Yuuta’s hurt!”, her mother says, “I’m coming back.”
The ambulance arrives before her mother so Yumiko puts Shuusuke in it with her.
*
The scar becomes a family joke after that, pointed to whenever Yumiko says she can do something.
