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.

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!

They’re in bed when it happens, cuddled against each other. Nishinoya’s got his face tucked against Asahi’s chest, an arm thrown over his broad back and his legs are tangled around Asahi’s knees. He likes to cling to Asahi when he sleeps, a teddy bear with agency, a promise he won’t ever leave.
It doesn’t hurt. There’s nothing but a strange floating sensation, the weightlessness that comes when a rollercoaster drops, and then there’s only light.
Nishinoya can’t feel Asahi anymore. He can’t feel himself. There’s no heartbeat, no tingling bloodrush to his fingertips when he tries to press.
He can’t open his eyes to look at himself. He has no eyes.
Yuu?
It’s his voice but it’s Asahi’s accent. There’s a sensation of - something? - light. Warmth. Strength. Doubt.
They’re emotions but they’re not emotions. Are they? Nishinoya isn’t here.
He remembers seeing himself not in a mirror but from the outside. The first time they met. The last time they kissed (five minutes/years/eons ago, slow and replete). He’s small and full of energy (a star seen up close is a sun) and the thought Nishinoya could pull him out of orbit.
Those aren’t his thoughts but they are.
When he extends his - hand? Self? - he finds more thoughts.
He’s on a swing, kicking his legs back and forth, but the sand under the swing dissolves and he’s over an ocean instead. He’s splashing, fat little legs kicking, and the person holding him suspended in the water is Asahi’s father, not his.
Memories blur and bend together. Nishinoya tastes his own mouth from the other side, feels the strangeness of his teeth when licked by someone else’s teeth. He never knew he had that little birthmark on the back of his left thigh, so high that his swimsuit normally conceals it. He never knew that was why Asahi always kissed that spot.
Yuu? He says and it’s his own name, he thinks, but he isn’t sure. It’s Asahi’s voice and his own accent. And then he says it again and it’s a voice that’s new, that’s somewhere between the two of them, that’s accented pleasantly but strangely.
One of them is Nishinoya Yuu. Both of them are Nishinoya Yuu. Neither of them are Nishinoya Yuu.
Nishinoya Yuu died when the large hadron collider exploded and so did Azumane Asahi.
What remains is new but it is both of them still.
It is born from love and it glows.
