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.

***
He buys him flowers before he even knows his name and this isn't like Iwaizumi at all. He isn't impulsive or romantic or usually prone to falling for nameless strangers on the street. But he has seen this particular nameless stranger on the same street for days, weeks, months and it takes him everything he has to walk into the nearest flower shop on their shared street and buy the prettiest bouquet he sees on display.
He doesn't even know if he likes flowers.
He waits on the corner of their street where Iwaizumi's workplace, the stranger's house and the flower shop are all lined up in a row and like clockwork the stranger appears in the distance. It is just past six in the morning and the sky is a dreamy, dusty blue, barely awake to witness the meeting of Iwaizumi and the nameless stranger.
The nameless stranger has a dog, an enthusiastic golden retriever, which accompanies him on his morning runs unfailingly, and it notices him before the stranger does, pulling excitedly on its leash and dragging the stranger in Iwaizumi's direction. Iwaizumi gives it a smile because it only seems right and he loves dogs and the stranger comes to a stop before Iwaizumi with a warm smile on his face, approving of Iwaizumi's reaction.
"Hi," the stranger says and even his voice is warm, a low pleasant sound in the early morning hush. "Hinata seems to like you. Do you want to pet him?"
Iwaizumi stoops to run a hand through Hinata's fur and scratch between his ears, acutely aware of the flower bouquet he is holding behind his back. He probably looks vaguely suspicious, as does anyone who hides anything behind their back, and when he straightens up he has a brief moment of uncertainty about this whole flower thing.
"Thank you," Iwaizumi says and his hands obviously have more courage than his heart because he whips the flower bouquet out from behind his back. "These are for you."
The stranger looks confused. "For letting you pet my dog?"
Iwaizumi coughs in embarrassment. "No, um, I work around here and I've seen you around and I was wondering if I could get to know you better? If you're alright with it, that is."
"I've never been hit on at six in the morning before," the stranger says, sounding amused even as a flush spreads across his face. "With flowers, no less."
"It seemed right," Iwaizumi mumbles, feeling his face heat up, probably burning brighter than the stranger's.
The stranger's hand brushes a stray flower poking out of the bouquet, considering. Then he seems to come to a decision, his eyes snapping back up to meet Iwaizumi's gaze decisively. "Alright. Let's give this a try. Hinata seems to like you and he usually has good taste. What's your name?"
"Iwaizumi Hajime," Iwaizumi blurts out quickly, a light emotion, something between hope and disbelief, rising in his chest.
"I'm Sawamura Daichi," the stranger no more says. "It's nice to meet you, Iwaizumi."
