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)

***
“I can’t believe I’m risking my perfect manicure,” Hanamaki says, “digging around the dirt with you.”
“What manicure,” Issei says. He throws a clump of moss at Hanamaki. “You volunteered for this.”
“I did,” sighs Hanamaki. He sits back on his heels, wiping sweat from his forehead. He manages to leave a streak of dirt on his face. Issei accidentally-on-purpose forgets to mention it. “Why are we doing this again?”
Issei surveys the little garden they’re working on. They’re under the sunlight behind his old preschool. His teacher is retiring this year, and because Issei is soft hearted at best, he wants to give her a little present. And since Hanamaki has no plans anyway, Issei dragged him along with the promise of being treated to dinner.
“Gardening is great for relieving stress.”
“More like the great cause of stress,” Hanamaki retorts. “I’m melting, and I’m pretty sure there is soil where there shouldn’t be. In my pants, I’m talking about in my pants.”
Issei laughs, pushing himself to his feet. They’ve been working at this for two hours now, cleaning the flowerbed and replanting the seeds. He leaves Hanamaki fanning himself on the ground while he heads over to the car. There’s a cooler in the back trunk. He pulls out two chilled water bottles, and on second thought, grabs the floppy sunhat his mother had gave him as a joke.
“Thanks,” Hanamaki says when Issei hands him the drink. He chugs for a few seconds, and then sprays his face with water. Droplets run down the side of his face, pasting his bangs against his forehead.
Issei drops the hat on top of his friend’s head. Hanamaki freezes, a confused noise escaping his lips. Crouching down, Issei adjusts the sunhat until it rests securely on top of Hanamaki’s head, throwing his face into much-appreciated shade.
“Mattsun,” Hanamaki says. His eyes are slightly wider than usual. He doesn’t make a move to remove the hat.
“Takahiro,” Issei says back, and a smile grows on his face as he watches a flush that has nothing to do with the summer heat spread across Hanamaki’s skin.
“Don’t think this is earning you back any brownie points.”
“Hm? What if I promise to buy you cream puffs after dinner?”
Hanamaki sticks his tongue out at him. “You play dirty, sir.”
Issei reaches up and swipes his thumb across Hanamaki’s nose. He shows the other the dirt on this finger. “That makes both of us, Hanamaki-san.”
The sun continues to shine down, and their clothes end up smudged and stained, but eventually, the flowers are planted and the proper nutrients provided. Issei stands back to appraise their hard work. His teacher will be proud, he thinks.
“Matsukawa,” Hanamaki sings, and Issei turns. The sunhat is still on Hanamaki’s head, and the wide brim flops over his face. He tilts it back up, revealing his usual grin. “Let’s take a selfie to commemorate our sweat and tears over this tiny garden.”
“You just want to send it to Oikawa to keep your streak going.”
“You caught me.”
Issei leans over into the frame anyway, and when he smiles, it comes easy and contentedly. He looks down at Hanamaki, muddy brown spotting his hands and smelling like summer and warm soil. Stretching his arms over his head, Issei closes his eyes, and basks in the late afternoon sunlight.
“What do you want for dinner?”
