Bonus Round 2: Tic-Tac-Toe



Tic-Tac-Toe


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).

Have a question? Check The FAQ first. If you still need help, feel free to contact the mods. Happy fanworking!

Square: "it's DPS, not DPS per second"

“It’s DPS,” Imayoshi muttered at the wide screen TV. Their club house was set up with the best media equipment so they watched all their opponent’s matches on a huge screen with even more detail than they’d have had if they’d been playing in the match.

“What?” Hanamiya asked, glancing at Imayoshi. Everyone else was engrossed in the match, paired off in their usual configurations. Kuroko was on Kagami’s lap, sharing a bowl of popcorn that Kagami was devouring like he’d never been fed in his life, and Aomine and Kise were sprawled over one of the other’s couches. Murasakibara was busy munching his way through enough candy to give a dentist nightmares and not quite paying attention to the game.

Hanamiya and Imayoshi, as usual, had gravitated together while Momoi and Riko, the team analyst and coach respectively, were taking notes at the table with Midorima.

All of them had heard Imayoshi’s comment though, so it wasn’t just Hanamiya looking at him.

“It’s DPS, not DPS per second,” Imayoshi elaborated. “DPS already means Damage Per Second. It’s like saying PIN number - PIN already means Personal Identification Number, you don’t have to say number again.”

Everyone stared at Imayoshi for a few nonplussed seconds and then collectively decided to ignore him, turning their attention back to the screen.

Only Hanamiya snorted and dragged Imayoshi closer. “Gonna write to the commentators and tell them?”

“They do check Tweets during the game,” Imayoshi said, pulling his phone out. “And I’ve got fake accounts I can use to tell them.”

“Thank you, Imayoshi. You are a true hero, standing up for the language like that,” Hanamiya said dryly.

“The only heros you know anything about are subs,” Imayoshi muttered.

“It’s a snare, not a stun!” Inui told the screen. The screen did not care. His teammates, however, snickered softly. They were well-used to Inui’s outbursts by now.

“It’s an important difference,” Inui said, adjusting his glasses with an air of ruffled dignity. “With a stun, you cannot do anything. With a snare, you cannot move but you can still attack. Snares are much less damaging than stuns.”

“We know,” Eiji said, flipping over the back of the couch. “Morgana only stuns on her ult, snares on everything else. Leona stuns. Lux snares. A knock-up is the same as a stun but Yasuo can ult onto you.”

“Yes,” Inui said, mollified by this proof that Eiji had paid attention to his lectures. “Exactly that.”

Oishi fed Eiji a kernel of popcorn as a prize for having stopped Inui from launching into a longer lecture while Kaidoh grabbed Inui’s hand and tugged.

“Senpai, sit down and watch. You can quiz us on the different attacks after the match.” As much as he respected his boyfriend’s talents and as grateful as the entire team was to have Inui as their analyst, watching matches did get a little frustrating when Inui kept interrupting!

“Fine,” Inui agreed as he sat down. “And then you can all try some of my new mental strengthening juice.”

Suddenly, everyone decided to go watch the match in their own rooms.
