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

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!

The aliens decide that the planet is overpopulated and initiate a cull. They decimate the human population, taking them down from 7 billion to 7 million.
To decimate means only 1 in 10 people survive. Look around you. Imagine 9 people whom you see every day are gone.
That is what decimation is.
That is what happened in Karasuno.
*
The survivors are herded into the squares and sorted by function. Asahi catches a glimpse of someone whom he thinks might be Nishinoya. It’s hard to tell without the spiky hairstyle and when so many of them are crowded together.
He hopes it’s Nishinoya. Nishinoya should live. If there is to be a resistance, it’s people like Hinata and Nishinoya who will be its heart and keep the spark of human pride alive.
Asahi lives for that hope. He cannot fight the aliens alone but he will be a footsoldier, a meatshield, an assassin - whatever they want of him.
But he needs someone to tell him what to do. He needs someone to set to him so he can spike.
*
The aliens’ superior technology means that humans aren’t even needed. They’re luxury items only, amusing pets and temporary diversions.
Asahi’s size and muscle means that he’s put into the fighting pits at first.
He refuses to fight. He nearly gets killed during his first match and when he wakes up in hospital, he’s surprised to find that he’s still alive and even more surprised they thought it worth saving him.
Apparently, he finds out, they think he’s photogenic. They put him on camera.
Like the livestreams of kittens that used to be popular, the aliens have developed a taste for watching humans interact in their ‘natural’ settings. A few human habitats are saved, declared ‘protected zones’, and humans are placed there to go about their lives as if the invasion never happened.
3 children sit in a classroom that should have housed 20 and try not to stare at the empty desks or the space where their teacher should be. They pretend to study and try not to cry. Cubicle farms have 1 salaryman in solitary splendor in his cubicle, tapping at a computer, compiling data that is randomly generated by the aliens. Hospitals are quiet, the sound of beeping equipment gone with the scent of antiseptic.
Nobody gets their old life back. People are put into positions the aliens think will be interesting.
The doctor at the hospital bandages cuts and secretly tells them to go to the mechanic on Sakura Avenue. The mechanic tinkers with cars and suggests they ask the waitress at the Tranquility Cafe.
Asahi ends up as a stripper. He works an empty club that has the occasional patron once or twice a month. He gets more notes of sympathy than actual money stuffed into his g-string and he’s fairly sure any actual dancer would fall on their ass laughing at him. There’s no bartender so he makes himself drinks at the end of his shifts. The alcohol’s always refilled by the next day but he never gets to pick the songs he wobbles around to. That’s an even trade.
There’s no resistance that he ever hears of. He considers becoming an alcoholic if nothing changes.
And then one day, Nishinoya walks in, hair short but his grin still exactly the same.
“HEY ASASHI,” he bellows and his smile lights up the dim room, “You call that a dance? Let me show how it’s done!”
The grinding, suggestive dance that Nishinoya does against Asahi is a perfect cover for him to whisper into Asahi’s ear, the movements of his mouth hidden by the cameras.
Nishinoya tells Asahi about the Resistance and all Asahi can think is he may have be the ace but Nishinoya has always been the hero.
