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)

Fills 5-10: 15 points each
Fills 11-20: 5 points each

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!

Soft domestic AsaNoya just to prove that I CAN, okay? Future fic!

Behind him, Asahi could hear the clinks and clatter of Nishinoya cooking. The two of them usually cooked together on the weekends, making big batches of meals that they’d seal and eat over the weekdays, but sometimes Nishinoya came home and wanted to cook.
Asahi was never going to turn down a homecooked meal though he did feel vaguely guilty about not helping. Still, their kitchen was so tiny that it wouldn’t really accommodate his bulk as well as Nishinoya all that comfortably.
It was different on the weekends. They dragged the dining table over to the kitchen counter to triple the counter space but Asahi was far too exhausted to move furniture around right now. With the world in its current state, nobody was concentrating on work but as their manager, Asahi was still responsible for keeping them inspired.
Nothing was working! Bonuses, incentives, serious talks about their future at the company - nobody cared about any of it and Asahi couldn’t help but empathize. He didn’t care either and he worried, sometimes, that his secret diffidence was why he wasn’t able to inspire his staff.
“It’s almost ready,” Nishinoya called out. The smell of something rich and vegetable-sweet drifted over to Asahi, making him sniff appreciatively. Nishinoya’s carrots roasted in browned butter were one of his favorite treats, especially when served with sticky rice and some sort of teriyaka. The experimental nature of Nishinoya’s dishes had led to many odd combinations becoming Asahi’s favorites.
“It smells great!” Asahi called back. He’d already set the table for the two of them before plonking himself down to watch the news. Not that there was much point in it - he couldn’t do anything to change what was happening and they kept repeating the same news every day anyway with growing degrees of panic.
Nishinoya came up behind him and vaulted over the back of the couch, landing next to Asahi. He stretched out, resting his head on Asahi’s thighs, and turned his attention to the TV.
“Anything new?” He asked, reading the scrolling banner instead of paying attention to the subtitled speech of the Foreign Minister.
“No. They’re still talking about mutually assured destruction,” Asahi said. He smoothed his hand through Nishinoya’s hair, gently scritching at his lover’s scalp. “They’re still saying that nuclear war is an impossibility because the first person to launch a missile will have their country attacked in retaliation.”
Nishinoya snorted and rolled over, facing Asahi’s stomach rather than watch the TV. He pushed Asahi’s shirt up and played with his belly button, tickling it with the end of Asahi’s tie.
“Turn it off and come have dinner with me,” Nishinoya said.
He couldn’t do anything to change what was happening but he could change what Asahi was thinking about. That would have to be enough.

Re: FILL: TEAM PRINCE OF TENNIS, C2 T
Honestly bleak and terrible stuff is my favorite to write. Or terrible gore too. My biggest challenge here was not getting carried away worldbuilding (or world destroying) and remembering to actually have Asanoya in it. This one was an inverse with the focus on the ship instead of the looming disaster.
