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)

Fills 5-10: 15 points each
Fills 11-20: 5 points each

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!

“Ground Control, can you hear me. This is Captain Sugawara in the RX-78NT-1. Please respond, Ground Control.”
Koushi has options. Not many, but just enough that it feels like maybe he has a chance at making it home.
Koushi closes his eyes for one long, slow moment.
When he opens them again, the star field is still there, achingly, desperately vast and unyielding and only a little bit blurred by the glass curve of his helmet and the prickle of tears at the corner of his eyes. He takes one deep breath of precious oxygen. He tries not to take any others, thumbs something in the cockpit, and listens to Bach streaming through his earpiece instead.
It’s not his first choice, probably not his second or third either. A student of his at the Academy had pressed the Goldberg Variations module into his hands, a small thanks for welcome advice, had muttered something about how Earth had once sent this music across the vastness of space as one of its greatest gifts, and when it was given to him by his shooting instructor, it had helped him — so maybe it can help Captain Sugawara, too. Out there. In space. Where Captain Sugawara was still so ungraceful in flight, the drag of gravity a hard thing to let go of even now. Koushi had smiled then, gently, wholly fond. He hadn’t expected this same student — wide-eyed, genius, trying so hard to be so good — to be the reason he was now out here stranded in the black in a spaceflight test gone completely wrong.
Koushi doesn’t believe in luck, but maybe luck was also something you could only know if you were born among the stars. What could he know of luck in a place like this. Condensation dots the inside of his helmet; the life-support system of his normal suit is flashing red.
“Ground Control, are you there. Ground Control, I think I left the oven on.” The music has moved into the fifth variation, rapid notes scattering like the stutter of Koushi’s breath. He’s starting to feel lightheaded.
“Ground Control, will you feed my cat for me. She’s so fussy, but you’ll learn to love her, too.” The ninth variation slows down into nostalgia, it’s so soft and Koushi aches, he aches so much for the ground beneath his feet, the earth of his home, the solid warmth of the welcome at the end of the day. But it’s so far. It’s so far, and there’s only the coldness of the stars to comfort him.
“Ground Control, I’m sorry I couldn’t make it. Ground Control, I hope you hear this, Ground Control, have I ever told you your ass is perfect and I—”
The star field shudders; something heavy and magnetic clamps down on top of him, and the frame of the cockpit starts to move.
“RX-78NT-1, lack of oxygen is making you sound a little funny, can you repeat that please.”
Koushi can see the carrier ship on the horizon. The eleventh variation is a thrill.
“Ground Control, you can check the logs, you ass.”
“RX-78NT-1, please watch your language in front of the children,” Ground Control says, and he sounds so relieved, the well of his emotions held in check only by the radio static. “I’m here to take you home. Hang in there.”
