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.

Posts not using this format will be understood to be unofficial discussion posts, regardless of what they contain. They, like all comments in this community, are subject to the code of conduct.
If you see anyone breaking the code of conduct (e.g., causing drama, being rude) anywhere (not just DW), please contact the mods immediately.
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!

People tell him the grief is going to pass.
It does, slowly. Hajime takes it in at days at a time, because at the moment, it’s hard to think of the future in larger increments, the same way that he and Tatsuya used to do as children. When they tell him that Tatsuya died with honor, it softens the blow a little bit, if only because Hajime knows that Tatsuya wouldn’t have liked it any other way.
He’s okay, most days. He continues his job with professional grace, sword coming out at the right times and sheathed at others. Other days, the emptiness by his side is all-consuming and when people try to comfort him, it’s angering—as if they know what it’s like to have someone by your side all these years, and suddenly not at all. When he snaps, he apologizes and people either look at him with scorn or with pity, and neither is what he wants.
(What he wants, he will never get back. Hajime knows this because he watched it. He still has the bloodstained robes folded in his room, never touched or looked at, but there like a reminder. As he grows older, he doesn’t want age to let him forget what Tatsuya sacrificed for him.)
They tell him to stay distracted. He tries: unnecessary practices, new hobbies, multiple conversations that lead nowhere but take up a time and space that Tatsuya no longer does. Tatsuya would probably laugh at his attempts at keeping plant life alive or charming other people, and perhaps even teach him how to better do it. People always did like Tatsuya better.
With Tatsuya’s grave nearby, it takes Hajime a lot to not go over there every day. When he does go, he spends hours lying in the unkempt grass, relaying his days and talking more than most people have ever heard him speak. When there isn’t much to report—which isn’t unusual, given how the war is over and people have begun rebuilding months ago—he lies there and watches the cloud pass by. But he knows that the world will continue moving on without him and he needs to try to keep at its pace, hours that he cannot spend with the closest physical resemblance he has to Tatsuya.
The hardest parts are when he’s alone in the baths and he can see the scars from battle lining his arms. Sometimes when he closes his eyes, all he sees is blood; other times, all he sees is Tatsuya with that infuriating smile on his face, leaning in ridiculously close until the two of them touch. Those precede nights where he can’t sleep.
So people tell him the grief is going to pass, and Hajime knows it will, eventually. But for now, it’s here to stay.

/ neither is what he wants.
(What he wants, he will never get back. Hajime knows this because he watched it. / listen i know it was my idea but it still hurts to read the aftermath of mine (and himuro's ) decisions. mistake
/perhaps even teach him how to better do it. People always did like Tatsuya better./ ugh the longing in this and the regret. ugh
/ But he knows that the world will continue moving on without him and he needs to try to keep at its pace, hours that he cannot spend with the closest physical resemblance he has to Tatsuya./ my friend told me something earlier about how iwa wouldnt deal with survivor's guilt very well at all and it STINGS especially reading this now
/So people tell him the grief is going to pass, and Hajime knows it will, eventually. But for now, it’s here to stay./ the quietness of this piece, the resignation, the grief and hurt is just. really real. it's a lot and i h8 u ;;;;;
