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!

Tatsuya cuts himself on a kitchen knife making fish, and before he sucks it out Atsushi sees the icebergs floating in his blood, pooling through the break in his skin at the surface. His body’s always cool and there are blizzards and ice storms at his fingertips and yet, Atsushi’s never considered this, literal ice in his veins. He reaches out as if to touch it.
“That’s unsanitary,” Tatsuya says lightly, before grabbing the same first-aid ointment everyone buys at the store.
It’s unsettlingly normal, typical Tatsuya, annoyingly so. Atsushi wonders what’s coming next, whether it’s another blizzard in June, covering their garden in frost (Tatsuya had grinned and apologized as if it had been a silly accident; Atsushi had sulked and mourned his peppers and tomatoes and sunflowers) or a frozen furnace, an ice surface crawling up the floor before it melts in the summer heat and warps the floorboards (they’re never seeing that security deposit again). Atsushi has little sympathy; his rainstorms are never in the house and never in the wrong season, never banishing the wrong kind of air. It’s begging for trouble when he channels the electricity so thoroughly, when his fingers can condense water into clouds with just a flick. Tatsuya’s are different, rawer and smaller and possibly more dangerous.
Tatsuya sleeps in the snow when it’s natural, body curled up and breath condensing in the air, a small cloud he sometimes shapes into a real one, snowing itself out in three minutes over his foot (a party trick, but sometimes it’s fun to poke at Tatsuya’s little cloud until Atsushi’s finger gets all wet and really, all those stereotypes about fluffy clouds are too insubstantial to gain as much traction as they do).
Once, they had made a storm together, Tatsuya’s hands in the air, focused and steady, Atsushi’s waving lazily. Thunder and sleet had poured over them, lightning singeing the cold, wet ground next to their feet. It had been mostly Atsushi’s, and sometimes he wonders why Tatsuya even tries if this, dwarfed by half a rainstorm, is his best effort. He asks and Tatsuya shrugs, smiling pretty like that ought to distract Atsushi. It does, enough; if Tatsuya doesn’t want to tell him there’s not much he can do. It’s not worth climbing such a slippery wall; it’s not worth the effort of cracking him open with lightning when he’s not sure what he’ll find.
Re: FILL: TEAM HIMURO TATSUYA/NIJIMURA SHUUZOU, A3, T
"sees the icebergs floating in his blood" CLAWS AT EVERYTHING BUT I LOVE HOW MATTER-OF-FACTLY VIVID THIS IS.
Also the fact that Himuro has a power-- is powerful - here makes me chinhand in a really good way because there's usually the theme of not being enough with him, but here, he's plenty.
Thank you so much again!! Reading this felt like watching a snowflake fall so it was a great feeling ;;;
