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).

FILL: TEAM KAGEYAMA TOBIO/OIKAWA TOORU, B2, G

[chiharu]

Ship: ji guang-hong / leo de la iglesias
Fandom: yuri on ice
Major tags: none
Other tags: disneyworld, jj is also there
Square: when i see an elephant fly
Word count: 664

Going to Disneyworld had been Phichit's idea. He'd seen photos of Viktor and Yuuri's recent trip to Tokyo Disney on instagram and gone into a veritable pout during joint practice, where Leo's coach worked them all relentlessly. Leo had thought she'd let them off more easily, considering this was their off-season pseudo-break. He knows for a fact that Guanghong only came to Michigan to shop and escape the Beijing summer. As for Phichit, well, Leo never knows why he does anything.

Still, the idea of a trip to Disneyworld had stuck. To Leo's surprise and horror, Phichit manages to organize an extended trip to Orlando and invite half of their friends slash competitors.

At least Guanghong is excited, Leo thinks after they manage to talk Leo's coach into giving him a week of vacation. Guanghong spends the first week of August researching rides and attractions and carefully coordinating outfits that don't have to match his skates. "I've always wanted to go," Guanghong had said with starry eyes while Leo watched him pack. "We should match. I hear people wear matching clothes at the Tokyo parks!"

"Did you hear about it or did you see it after stalking the instagram tag?" Leo grins.

This makes Guanghong flush. "Don't bully me," he says in a small, sly voice that makes Leo want to do just that.

In Orlando, they meet up with Otabek, Yuri, and JJ of all people. Leo has a suspicion that Yuri is only here to spite Viktor and Yuuri for not being invited on their trip, and a silent nod from Otabek confirms it. They manage to check into their off-site hotel in one piece, even after getting recognized by some European tourists. "It's JJ Style!" JJ had shouted even though the tourists only wanted photos with Otabek.

"We can always ditch them," Leo confirms in the privacy of his and Guanghong's room. Their balcony overlooks a pool. He can already see Phichit and JJ splashing in there and making a scene.

Guanghong just laughs as he carefully deliberates between two outfits. "Mean. You're so mean."

"I'm not!" Leo insists, and pulls Guanghong into a back hug to prove it. They end up laughing and stumbling onto Guanghong's bed. Leo blows a raspberry onto Guanghong's neck and grins when they go tumbling onto the floor.

Leo's theory is confirmed the next day at Magic Kingdom. They don't ditch the others as much as lose them in the crowd. Yuri runs off to Tomorrowland and drags Otabek with him, while Phichit disappears into the Haunted Mansion with JJ. Guanghong doesn't seem perturbed by this, as he spends his time carefully choosing matching headbands while Leo frantically texts everyone.

"Don't fret," Guanghong says with a smile as he puts an alien hat from Toy Story on Leo's head. He's donning a Stitch hat himself, and Leo kind of wishes he was Lilo so he can keep Guanghong forever.

The park is crowded enough that no one bats an eye at the sight of Leo and Guanghong hand in hand. Together, they take selfies in front of Cinderella's Castle and snap goofy pictures while waiting for the Dwarf's Train. Guanghong screams and squeezes Leo's hand so tightly during Splash Mountain that Leo almost goes numb. Yet, he can't find it in himself to mind.

By the time they arrive at Dumbo the Flying Elephant, Guanghong is giddy and has sugar from his churros on his cheeks. Silently, they watch as the carts rise to the sky and begin moving. A little girl is laughing and giggling in her Dumbo cart as she waves down at them. Leo smiles when Guanghong waves back.

"Want to wait in line?" Leo asks, adjusting his hat.

Guanghong turns to him and beams. "No. Let's just stay here for a while."

"Okay," Leo says and slips his hand back into Guanghong's.

They say Disneyworld is the happiest place on Earth, but Leo is just happy to be here with Guanghong.
