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.

Bonus round shenanigans all happen in the comments below. Brand-new works only, please.Required Work Minimums:

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!

there's something about the soldier tooru's found himself cornered by. as they fight, he seems to know exactly what move tooru will make before he even makes it, acts like he's expecting it, strikes back accordingly.
it makes escaping more difficult than it's ever been before. and tooru's had to do a lot of escaping.
if they were on the same side, if this man weren't a soldier for the government, a symbol of everything tooru's always vowed to fight against since that day, maybe they'd be a formidable, unbeatable combination.
but they'll never know that.
tooru stumbles with a missed attack, and the soldier's already waiting for him. knocks him off his feet, points his weapon at him like he's going to strike. it could be over. tooru will be captured for treason, for fighting against the oppressive regime. it's do or die now.
but--
in a final attempt to escape, tooru's attack misses and hits the soldier's helmet. already loose from all the merciless fighting, it falls from his head. and everything tooru's ever thought he knew changes.
(he remembers quick, painful flashes of being nine. of the government raiding their quiet little town, their home in search of more people to force into conscription in the war they were waging against the monsters destroying the land, taking out humanity along with it.
hajime's with him, then. but back then hajime had always been with him.
running. hiding. their hands being ripped away from each other when they were caught. taken from each other and their homes, never to see each other again.)
until--
"iwa-chan!" it's been years. years since he last saw his best friend's eyes, last saw him safe and within reach, and even with hajime still pointing the weapon at him like he's been trained to, forced to, tooru scrambles to his feet. throws his arms around hajime's neck. "hajime!
has it really been that long that they couldn't recognize each other? that they nearly hurt each other because they'd ended up on different sides? the war may have started as humanity against the monsters that sought to destroy them, but once that situation had calmed--but not completely at an end--the world ruined in its wake, the government had turned on anyway who had the audacity to rebel, to resist. that's where they find themselves now. stuck.
hajime's weapon clatters to the ground, his arms enclosing around tooru's waist instead. "tooru? it's really you? it's really--"
"i thought you were dead," they blurt at the same time. tooru's sounding more rushed, cross between desperate and relieved now that he's found hajime. now that he knows what's happened to him. hajime's is a little quieter, rough around the edges, like he can't fully believe it. but it's a sad whisper, too. they've found each other, but there's still so much in their way.
"i'm here," tooru murmurs, he presses his face against hajime's shoulder, tells himself not to cry. they once were lost, far away from each other, but they've found each other once again.
"me too." and hajime's eyes are watery too, but he smiles, a smile tooru's never seen a soldier make. it's a luxury they don't get to have, it seems. but hajime's smile is just like tooru remembers it--bright and achingly familiar. he wants to make up for every single moment of this fate took from them, every single time he couldn't see hajime smile or have him by his side. "how'd you end up fightin' for the rebels?"
"that's... a long story..." of how he escaped and vowed to fight back against the people who had taken everything--his home, his family, hajime--from him.
hajime nods, looks away from tooru and at his feet instead. like he gets it. "sorry about that..." he gestures at his weapon, useless and unwanted on the ground. "i almost..."
he doesn't need an apology. he's never needed one. but now that they're back together, there's only one line of thought in tooru's mind. "let's run away."
hajime's head jerks up when he hears the words, eyes surprised. "are you insane?"
"that's no way to treat me after so long, iwa-chan." but tooru takes his hand. if they run now, they can worry about the rest later. if they run, they can be that formidable combination they were always meant to be. no longer a solider and a rebel, just hajime and tooru.
"sorry, your tendency to be an idiot surprised me. haven't changed much, have you?"
he's changed a lot, actually. and if they can, they have a lot of time to make up for--to realize what's changed and what's stayed the same. "you're still just as mean, i see."
(a memory sticks out in his mind. this, but the opposite. the day they'd been separated, yanked from each other, hajime held out his hand, told tooru they had to run. and they did. they ran and ran, together and against the world. eventually, they had gotten caught, but now they're older and stronger, and tooru never wants to let go of hajime's hand.)
he won't.
"let's go?" he asks again, tugging on hajime's hand.
for a moment, he fears the worst, fears hajime will pull his hand away. but he gets a squeeze to his hand instead, a promise. "let's go."
so they run.
he doesn't know where they'll go from here, where they could even have hope to go now, but just knowing that hajime is alive and alright and they haven't permanently lost each other is enough of a start.
then, they'll figure out the rest. like they've always been meant to.
