Bonus Round 2: Tic-Tac-Toe



Tic-Tac-Toe


SASO 2017 is over, but this round is perpetually open to new fills (no new prompts).


Get three in a row! That's the goal of this bonus round. Inspired by a fanwork event type called kink bingo, this round encourages you to create and fill out themed prompt cards.


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

  1. 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!

  2. 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.
  3. 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.

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).

BLACK OUT BLACK OUT!!!
***


Naruko is pretty sure there's a ghost haunting the Kanzaki Cycling Shop.

He first notices it when he takes his bike in for a routine repair. The store is busy on a Saturday, and Naruko wanders off to check out grip tape while the the owner's son takes Naruko's Pinarello into the back. There's a boy in blue standing in the corner of the shop reading a sports magazine in English.

"Anything good in there?" Naruko asks as he peers over the boy's shoulder. He expects the stranger to either regard him with awkwardness or engage him in conversation.

Instead, the boy gives him a look of annoyance and says nothing.

Naruko opens his mouth to continue the conversation, but gets distracted when a store staff calls him over to discuss the issue with his front fork. By the time Naruko turns around again, the boy is gone. Weird, Naruko thinks, but then promptly forgets the incident.

He sees the same boy two weeks later, on Naruko's regular route up Mount Minegayama. The bike shop boy is wearing blue again as he makes his way up the slopes. "Oi! Wait up!" Naruko calls as he switches gears to catch up. He's huffing a little by the time the stranger turns to him with blank eyes. "Where are you going?"

"To the top," the stranger says quietly. His Giant is an older model, one that Naruko hasn't seen in any recent catalogues.

Naruko grins. "Do you take this route a lot? Wanna race?"

"Sure. I'll see you at the top," the boy says as he grips his handles tighter. Then he's speeding up the hill, paying no attention to Naruko's struggles. He disappears from Naruko's sight after a particularly round and difficult turn, and isn't waiting at the peak when Naruko finally arrives, gasping for breath.

What a jerk, Naruko thinks.

Weirdly enough, Naruko start seeing more and more glimpses of the boy. Naruko spots him sometimes, in the distance, on back roads. He's a blur in blue, just around the corner on Naruko's ride to school. Naruko is even convinced that he sees the boy in line at the local konbini, but he always disappears before Naruko can finish paying the cashier.

So it's with great concern that he walks into the Kanzaki Cycling Shop months later and finds Miki, the store owner's daughter, maintaining a bike while The Ghost approaches her menacingly with a wrench.

"LOOK OUT!" Naruko cries as he tackles the weirdly solid ghost down.

Miki turns around in time to see Naruko struggling on the ground. "What's going on, Naruko-kun? Imaizumi-kun?"

"This guy is a ghost and he's haunting you!"

Miki looks between the two of them, then laughs. "Well, that's new."

"Get off me," The Ghost mumbles as he shoves Naruko off with a large hand placed on Naruko's face. "And I'm not dead."

"Nice try, ghostman!" Naruko squints. "You always materialize and disappear around town!"

The Ghost's scowl is evident on his weirdly handsome face. "That's because I live here."

"You always disappear on the slopes before I can catch you!"

"That's because you're slow at climbing!"

This makes Naruko huff. "Yeah, well... You never speak to anyone, and no one ever acts like they acknowledge your existence!"

Miki is the one who breaks the silence that follows. "Naruko-kun, Imaizumi-kun prefers the quiet. That's why he never interacts or rides with anyone."

"Well," Naruko says as a last ditch effort. "He looked like he was about to attack you!"

"My face always looks like this!" Imaizumi shouts, then flushes at how his voice carries across the shop. He brings both hands to his face, then sits down to Miki's soft giggles.

Naruko pats him sympathetically on the arm. "Hey, it's okay. Don't be mad!"

"I'm not mad," Imaizumi mumbles without moving.

"I'll race you again! That'll make you feel better!"

Imaizumi pauses for a beat before saying, "Okay."
