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.

"You're just cranky because you're lonely." Saeko told him, and even over the phone he knew she was rolling her eyes.
Lonely makes sense, but it didn't feel like the right word to Tanaka.
After they went to nationals again in their third year, Tanaka and Nishinoya got more attention than either of them really knew what to do with, getting flustered on interviews on TV and everyone in the school recognizing them because of volleyball. It also meant both of them were fiercely scouted by half the universities in Japan - and for Nishinoya, he got scouted by the actual national team.
Fast forward to now, where Tanaka is constantly busy with classes in restaurant management and his volleyball practice in Sendai, and Nishinoya threw himself headlong into volleyball harder than he ever had before down in Tokyo.
The distance does make it lonely sometimes - Tanaka misses the warmth of Nishinoya's body up against his, the way they fit so perfectly together with their height difference and shape of each other's arms. But Nishinoya is constantly text him, sending him jokes and images and what he's been up to all day or how he's learning how to set for the great Ushijima himself. And Tanaka always shoots back with the same things, stories about his classes and his own bad jokes or cooking adventures. Even over text, it was as if nothing about their relationship had changed.
Still, it's not the same without that rambunctious laughter right in his ear to help him through a rough week, and god it's been over two months seen he's seen his boyfriend, his beautiful stupid boyfriend who he wants to kiss more than anything and run his hands through that soft, blond and brown hair, maybe take off his shirt and show him really--
--Okay fine. Maybe he is lonely.
Since there's not much he can do about it because classes and practice are grinding him into the ground, Tanaka tries not to think about Nishinoya too much so he doesn't go insane. It slips out a little when he ends up making a few one in the morning phone calls, just to hear Nishinoya's voice, but he can tell he doesn't mind.
In fact, it's probably good for both of them, because Nishinoya's making more calls too, asking about how he's doing, his schedule, that kind of thing. Tanaka likes it, even when he ends the calls in a rushed, "Shit I gotta go bye I love you!!"
He smiles to himself just thinking about it as he hikes up the stairs to his little apartment, keyring twirling on his finger. The building he lives in isn't fancy, but he likes it well enough, and when he turns the corner he assumes it's going to be the same white walkway down to his door as usual.
Except when he turns the corner from the stairs, there's a guy no older than him but a lot shorter, hair all spiked up, standing outside his door with a backpack and some plastic bags.
Tanaka drops his keys.
"Yuu??"
Nishinoya whips around and his face breaks out into the biggest grin. "Ryuu!" he drops the bags in his hands to the ground and runs across the few feet of the hall, right into Tanaka's arms and he catches him just like he always will.
"Dude, what, what, when did you get here! Why didn't you tell me?!"
Nishinoya cackles, planting a fat wet kiss on his cheek. "Uh hello, it was a surprise! If I told you it wouldn't be any fun!"
It's a miracle he doesn't cry, Tanaka thinks, squeezing Nishinoya so tight to his chest. "Yeah, and consider me surprised! How long you here for?"
"Just till Sunday. But I brought snacks and beer and all the goods, so we can don't have to go anywhere, just you and me, so we can get our fill before I gotta go back to missing your perfect ass."
Tanaka grins so hard his face hurts and feels like he could take on the world.
"Sounds like a plan."

And then you dropped in because Nishinoya's making more calls too, asking about how he's doing, his schedule, that kind of thing and I started smiling like a loon, and this was such a treat to read. Thank you for sharing! <3
