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!

Matsukawa’s waiting for him when Takahiro comes out of the clubroom. “Ready to go?” he says, and Takahiro nods.
They’re quiet as they leave the school. It’s late, near dinner time, and the streets in this neighbourhood are empty. The rain has been coming down hard lately, summer flash storms coming and going without so much as a warning. Takahiro jumps over a puddle. His footsteps echo on the cement road. He’s tired, but there’s something about this late afternoon walk with Matsukawa that makes him almost wish it would never end.
“Wanna go for some ramen?” he asks Matsukawa, and his friend shrugs. They change course for the marketplace by the train station.
Matsukawa walks with his hands in his pockets. He keeps his gaze straight ahead, barely even glancing at the buildings they pass by. Takahiro keeps his eyes on Matsukawa. There’s something about the way he walks, striding smoothly along with those long legs of his, a fluid grace that is hard to look away from. Matsukawa hums slightly, lost in his thoughts. Takahiro smiles slightly, lost in the company of his best friend.
They come across a skybridge, and Takahiro hops up the stairs, skipping a step as he goes. Matsukawa follows at a slower pace, brushing aside his curly bangs. At the top, Takahiro stops and turns. Matsukawa looks back at him, eyebrows raised.
“Something on my face?”
Takahiro shakes his head. He glances out across the railings. Cars slip by below them, a constant buzz in the background, tail lights disappearing like a neon echo. The buildings around them throws sleepy shadows and the grey clouds above them drift lazily by. But in the distant horizon, just over the telephone poles, there is orange and feather-soft gold, pale blue and blushing pink.
“Matsukawa,” Takahiro says, pointing. “Look.”
Matsukawa draws up beside him, and looks. It’s nothing special, as sunsets go. They’ve seen more spectacular sunsets by their school. It’s just a corner of the sky, too far to reach, too small to take a picture of. But in this moment, just the two of them, there is something magical about it all.
“Hey, Takahiro,” Matsukawa says, and Takahiro turns. He’s smiling slightly, a lighthearted twinkle in his eye. “Can I kiss you?”
Takahiro knows he’s blushing, and he knows that Matsukawa knows. Still, he nods, and when the other boy steps closer, he tilts his head up and waits. He meets Matsukawa’s eyes.
Their lips touch with a soft familiarity, quiet and intimate. Takahiro can feel the ache in his body but there’s a spark igniting in his veins as Matsukawa’s fingers slip into his hair. He pulls back slightly, enough to catch Matsukawa’s eyes, and he grins.
Their hands link together naturally, until they make it off the bridge. The ramen shop is just down the street, but they take their time. And if Takahiro walks close enough for their fingers to brush against each other, well, that’s nobody else’s business but their own.
