Bonus Round 2: Tic-Tac-Toe

[referees]

SASO 2017 is over, but this round is perpetually open to new fills (no new prompts).

Get three in a row! That's the goal of this bonus round. Inspired by a fanwork event type called kink bingo, this round encourages you to create and fill out themed prompt cards.

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

1. 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!


2. 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.
3. 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.

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).

Im so gay

***

Naruko is wearing a sports bra that's too small for her again. It had been pretty obvious during lunch, when Naruko had run face-first into Imaizumi's back after snatching the last batch of curry pan from the cafeteria. Now, with Naruko's jersey zipped halfway down to reveal the rise of her hot red sports bra, Imaizumi is officially suffering.

"Staring is rude, you know," Teshima hums pleasantly after Naruko rides off with Aoyagi. She laughs when Imaizumi gives her a look of alarm. "I see even elites have weaknesses."

"Senpai-" Imaizumi tries to argue, but finds that she has nothing valid to say. Instead, she hops onto her own bike and ignores Kanzaki's quiet laughter behind them. Riding will take her mind off all this, she thinks.

Instead, Imaizumi has the misfortune of being paired with Kaburagi, who babbles on about how much time she's shaved off her climb. Imaizumi does her best to focus on the road, but her mind eventually wanders to the cute tiger motif on Naruko's endless collection of sports bras that she basically lives in. The thought of it spurs Imaizumi into action, and she gets that last kick of adrenaline and leaves Kaburagi behind towards the end of their route. Imaizumi arrives back at the club house just in time to see Naruko still in practice clothes, with her bag across her shoulders.

"Oi, hotshot-" Naruko starts to say.

"Race you to the lamp," Imaizumi replies, which sends Naruko into a familiar cackle. "Loser buys dinner."

"What about your bag, Imaizumi-kun?" Onoda asks behind the glare of her glasses.
Imaizumi waits two beats as Naruko remounts her Pinarello. "My driver has my stuff. See you tomorrow, Onoda."

"Bye, Onoda-chan!" Naruko shouts before taking off, prompting Imaizumi to follow.

The race to the lamp is their standard post-practice cool down. It's short enough that their records are pretty evenly tied, but Imaizumi still smiles to herself when Naruko beats her by a sliver. "Come to my house, then. I'll order delivery."

"Score!" Naruko throws her hands into the air in victory.

By the time they get to the house, Imaizumi is already covered in a layer of sweat. Still, she lets Naruko use her bathroom and goes downstairs to use the guest one instead. They're both showered and clean in record time, and Naruko's hair is almost half-dry by the time Imaizumi finishes combing out her own locks.

While Imaizumi puts in an order for pizza, Naruko busies herself with touching everything in Imaizumi's room. It's a habit of Naruko's, even though she visits so often that even Imaizumi's sister has gotten over the surprise of seeing someone wandering around their empty home in Imaizumi's old t-shirts.

Today, Naruko has stolen Imaizumi's middle school club shirt. It's fading and pilling, but still manages to look big on Naruko's small frame. The blue of the logo, however, looks nice contrasted against Naruko's tan skin and red hair.

The only problem is that Naruko is not wearing a bra. Again.

Naruko knows this too, and she uses it to her advantage to plop down on Imaizumi's lap and knock Imaizumi's cellphone away.

"There are other places to sit, you know," Imaizumi says, but stops complaining when Naruko loops her arms around Imaizumi's neck. "Delivery will be here in twenty minutes."

Naruko just grins. "That's plenty of time, hotshot."

"Time for what?" Imaizumi tries to sound casual.

"For you to admire my beauty," Naruko says. She grabs one of Imaizumi's hands and brings it to her own chest, laughing when Imaizumi automatically cups Naruko’s breast through her shirt. "Kakaka! I knew you've been dying to do that."

Imaizumi can feel her face heat up. "I have not." Instinctively, she leans in closer. Naruko is so small. She's rough around the edges but soft where it counts. Imaizumi doesn't understand how Naruko can aggressively elbow her so hard during class yet revert to hugging her moments later, the swell of Naruko's chest pressing against Imaizumi and making her forget whatever made her mad in the first place.

"Your hair is getting long," Naruko says, bringing Imaizumi back to the present. Naruko's free hand is playing with the end of Imaizumi's damp hair, twirling it around her nimble fingers.

"Short hair is harder to put up," Imaizumi replies absently. She knows, that Naruko knows, that there are a handful of photos of Imaizumi with short hair spread out through the living room. Naruko had found them on her first visit and cackled over how cute "baby hotshot" looked.

Naruko isn't cackling now. She's grinning with a familiar light in her eyes. "But you look best with that bunny headband."

Recognition flashes back to Imaizumi as she remembers the last time her bangs had gotten in the way of their activities. If possible, Imaizumi turns more red.

"Relax," Naruko says slyly. "That can wait for after dinner."

Imaizumi just nods.
