Bonus Round 2: Tic-Tac-Toe

[referees]

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 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).

Re: FILL: TEAM OIKAWA TOORU/USHIJIMA WAKATOSHI, A3, T

/“It’s fine. He just… he’s like that.” ... “I knew what I was getting into.”/ excellent characterization + summation of oikawa here lmao, as well as kageyama just KNOWING him enough to not be bothered by his oikawa-ness

/It’s completely at odds with what Oikawa had said before - but that was Daichi’s fault, probably, for assuming that what Oikawa said would ever match what Oikawa did. / i just love this piece for being a Study In Oikawa, basically. and daichi provides a good 'outsider looking in' pov because he knows one party, knows another a little less, so the relationship ends up being something he doesn't understand but can still see the validity of. it's nice :')

Re: FILL: TEAM OIKAWA TOORU/USHIJIMA WAKATOSHI, A1, G

[wino]

/"What the hell do you mean by this?" he snarled, adding on a, "your Majesty," when Wakatoshi's guards bristled next to him./ GOD I LOVE OIKAWA'S FEROCITY, AND THE SNARLED HONORIFIC WAS A++

/His eyes swept dismissively over the festivities, then landed back on Wakatoshi's face. "Congratulations." Even Wakatoshi could tell the word was dripping with sarcasm./ my comments are just me swooning over oikawa can u tell...........but i love your study/characterizations of him so much

Re: FILL: Team Grandstand, T

[chromatic_coma]

I'm extra happy I could write something that you enjoyed! I think Kuramochi is so much smarter than he gets credit for, especially when it comes to people, and his ways work so well with Miyuki - they make an interesting pairing :D Sharing a bed was just because I wanted fluff and cuteness.

Your comments are so sweet, thank you!

Re: FILL: TEAM OIKAWA TOORU/USHIJIMA WAKATOSHI, B1, G

/ In short, a lot more about their king’s personality had become… palatable, over the course of the last year.

There was, of course, still room for improvement./ FFGSGS I LOVE USHIOI. THE SLOWEST BURN, THE HARDEST FALL

/Ushijima straightened in his chair, as if looking awake and alert was what the situation required. / this tiny ushi tidbit was rly cute dfkjgj

and then "i am excited" im dying. he's truly captain holt

/There was something slightly gratifying in how quickly the other man took his hand and rose as well./ (beyonce voice) baby its youuu, youre the one i wanttt........

/ Now, they’d been in each other’s company long enough for Ushijima to know that all of Tooru’s advice came from a deep, hidden well of generosity, no matter how impolite his words might seem when spoken. “You’re not a bad leader. I think people like you as a King. But you need to lighten up if you want people to see you as kind, or likable, or whatever it is you might be going for.”/ idk why but i got so emo over this bit.......... oikawa meaning well.. giving ushi some kind, solid advice...wanting th ebest for him for no reason....... weh

/easing up on his toes so he could twirl Ushijima under his arm./ my heart squeezed in my chesT SO CUTE WHY

/ The song ended and Ushijima smiled down at him, a veritable rarity in the encyclopedia of his expressions. Tooru could feel something in his stomach flip at his unexpected agreement. / hhfss ssh stheyre in love and im going to die witnessing it

smugness lmfao sure

GOD THAT WAS CUTE I LOVED READING THAT I WILL REREAD IT AGAIN NOW

Re: FILL: TEAM OIKAWA TOORU/USHIJIMA WAKATOSHI, C1, G

[wino]

/“I was one of those royals!” Oikawa said, scandalized, and Wakatoshi blinked./ I LAUGHED

ahhh this series was so lovely, i love the way they slowly come to know each other and get more comf and develop feelings, esp how vocal they are in STARKLY different ways but it still helps them realize their position in the other's life. thank u so much for these fills <33

Re: FILL: Team Sawamura Daichi/Sugawara Koushi, A1, T

[wino]

omg i personally dont know homestuck but i was really excited to read!! here goes

/It wasn't supposed to go like this. Years of bickering and tormenting each other online wasn't supposed to end like this./ ughh haru ;; his grief is always so visceral in every way esp on the show and u really showed it here

/He shouldn't do it. Would it matter if he did? Would it be so bad? He couldn't. He had to./ i rly liked this train of thought, th eback and forth with yourself was so indicative of panic/anxiety

/"What the fuck," Sousuke breathed, staring at Haru as if he were the ghost./ SO VIVID AN IMAGE

/He said it so full of emotion he didn't even know he possessed,/ im emo about haru again ;;

/Whatever they had gotten themselves into, it wasn't ending here./ a beautiful ending line <3333 thank you for this fill!!

Re: FILL: TEAM GRANDSTAND, A3, G

[lonelywhale]

OMG THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL I'M CRYING

nonono this is not a stretch at all i mean it's not what i expected but it's way more than i was expecting like sousuke is cold seeking warmth from makoto and is sleepy and makoto is planting an innocent kiss on his head i'm melting

also i love the colours you pick and your lines are so neat!!

this warms my heart my makoto's kiss warms up sousuke <3 thank youuuuuu

Re: Fill: Team Grandstand, B1, M

[lonelywhale]

omggg i can't believe kagami's stomach cockblocked him but i'm sure they'll get there in the end ;))

asdhklg the title of the fic is perfect i couldn't stop laughing while i was reading this thank you so much for the fill !!!

omg aomine does kagami eating 48 burgers turn you on??

Re: FILL: TEAM IWAIZUMI HAJIME/OIKAWA TOORU, A3, M

[wino]

ahhh im so thrilled u picked the tkg one out of these!! the imagery of ghoul oikawa and investigator ushi is too good

as was this /Wakatoshi doesn't know what disturbs him more. The fact that the sounds appeal to him, knowing that Oikawa is the reason for them, or the fact that Semi may very well be the pile of flesh and bones lying in a heap beneath Oikawa's crouched form./ that whole bad attraction thing is Such an angle, especially with ushioi. it's a parallel to how nasty oikawa can be in the series yet ushi wants him anyway

/"What do you want, Ushiwaka-chan?" Oikawa's voice is a dagger, a weapon sharper than any Quinque. It hurts to have that tone directed at him, but he cannot say that it is something he didn't expect. Oikawa has the potential to be gentle, Wakatoshi has personally witnessed it before, but he does not count on seeing that side of Oikawa aimed at himself. / an astute observation here, but also, ushi ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; im rooting for him

/Semi is a partner that Wakatoshi treasures, and a large part of him knows that his death will have to be avenged, but he finds himself hesitating, the grip of his hand around his Quinque tightening and relaxing with each breath he takes./ GOD LIKE. EVEN WITH USHI'S PARTNER POTENTIALLY DEAD HE IS STILL HEAD OVER HEELS FOR OIKAWA HE HAS GOT IT SO BAD

the descrip of oikawa's mask is a++ as well. that ornate over the top-ness fits him, almost like a crown of thorns

OIKAWA AS A KITSUNE AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH THIS IS A WHOLE DIFF AU THAT SUCH A NICE BONUS FOR U TO LET ME IMAGINE

/Oikawa's smile shifts, almost imperceptibly in the dull light, from predatory to bordering on honest. Wakatoshi wants to close the distance between them with swift strides, taste the blood on those lips and maybe lick it up, if only for the thrill of being pressed up against Oikawa himself./ he has got it so bad i keep saying it but you portrayed his WANT so well

i love them and i love your fills ;;;;;;;;; thank you so much for all the ushioi u bring into the world

Re: FILL: TEAM KAGEYAMA TOBIO/OIKAWA TOORU, A2, T.

[wino]

/ it softens the blow a little bit, if only because Hajime knows that Tatsuya wouldn’t have liked it any other way./ ugh ;_____;

/ 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 ;;;;;

Re: FILL: TEAM KAGEYAMA TOBIO/OIKAWA TOORU, C2, T.

[wino]

BABY IWAHIMUS WAS A THOUGHT I HAVENT CONSIDERED IN A WHILE AND NOW I HAVE AND IM COMPROMISED

i love the bit w oikawa, and kagami and mukkun, because it just expands their world a little bit from each other and makes it all the more special that they chose each other anyway yknow? i just love when romo fics feel a little less insular

the last part kills me, imagining it as them. i didnt even like this movie much but now i want to watch it

Re: FILL: TEAM KAGEYAMA TOBIO/OIKAWA TOORU, C3, T.

[wino]

;;;; i love how you fleshed out this au so much, andi love reading the backstory with oikawa. iwa's jadedness doesn't feel like it as much as it just feels like a reality check

and ur himuro study is so fucking great, just so u know. the way he's after the gratification more than survival because he's stupid but that just makes iwa more inclined to watch over him, almost? ugh i love them ilu

Im so full of so many emotions. The whole bingo was an emotional rollercoaster BUT IM SO HAPPY?! dxhskUnNJaohnm Thank you omg

Re: Fill: Team Grandstand, C2, T

[bmmq]

OHMYGODDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD YES I WAS HOPING SOMEONE WOULD CHOOSE THE DRUNK PROMPT!! I loved the part where Tatsumi's pinching Murakoshi's cheeks aahhh and how you described Tatsumi's effect on Murakoshi!!! That line was so good and just captures perfectly how i see their relationship. THANK YOU FOR THE FILL!! ^O^

Re: FILL: Team Miyuki Kazuya/Sawamura Eijun, A3, R (2/2)

[picselly]

There is so much I love about this!! I love your characterization of both of them. Mei seems so confident in himself yet unsure enough to use that for defnse, both in regards to his skill in baseball and in his relationship with Miyuki. Like you can feel that he doesn't think he QUITE gets Miyuki even though he considers them close friends. I love how the steps are pretty much Mei just going ?????? throughout the span of the start of their relationship until he finally confronts Miyuki about it. And it's just so like Mei to choose such a place to do so, just when he wants to do it he doesn't even think twice.

I really love how you made it Miyuki who (not so) subtly tries to move the relationship into new ground but just.. how his communication skills aren't the most refined things so he tries to use his actions instead and hopes it gets through. But then Mei is so different from that, just direct and it works so well for them in the end. ;u;

All the little things domestic things you put in to show their comfortability and just their care were wonderful, from the little touches and to their fights. (Like they are a couple that would no doubt be arguing so often, have so many walls, and I!! love!! I love Miyuki hitting Mei's weak points, that he gets under his skin so easily.) I appreciate you going that direction to show their closeness. You did a wonderful job focusing on their actions rather than their words to convey that and it's so fitting, particularly for Miyuki. And with that little bit of embarrassing playfulness after their kiss (Mei lifting his fist after?? omg) just ahh so cute! I love how they don't work yet they also just.. do.

But yea, tldr this was such a fantastic little fic and I really enjoyed it! Wonderful job!

Re: FILL: TEAM DAIYA NO ACE, A3, G

[factorielle]

fffffff how did i miss this, i hide my face in shame

I HAVE SO MANY EMOTIONS

Zono wanting Miyuki to rely on him so much, and kinda jealous of Kuramochi's particular closeness with him breaks my heart but. It's also because Zono isn't quite that close that he can see this side of Miyuki, this frailty, and I'M CRYING REAL TEARS OVER THESE BOYS, THANK YOU SO MUCH

Re: FILL: TEAM DAIYA NO ACE, B3, G

[factorielle]

THIS WAS AN EXCELLENT IDEA

I love this, it's so soft and understated and true to them, Ryousuke never goes easy on him and it works for both of them ♥♥♥
