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.

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!

FILL: TEAM KAGEYAMA TOBIO/OIKAWA TOORU, B3, G

Ship: sawamura daichi / sugawara koushi
Fandom: haikyuu
Major tags: none
Other tags: none
Square: in your best friend's car (while he's driving us home)
Word count: 483

kuroo pls

(I really like the idea of kuroo and daichi becoming fast friends, and so here we are)


***


“Suga, is it true you actually asked Kuroo for relationship advice at one point.”

Suga elbows Daichi right in the ribs, and when all Daichi does is laugh, he makes sure to do it again, harder. Daichi wheezes. Suga smiles in satisfaction. Kuroo’s laughter brays from the driver’s seat but Kenma beside him doesn’t wake up, or at least he continues to pretend he’s sleeping. It’s probably more or less the same.

“Listen, Sawamura Daichi-san, you’re not so hot yourself in the dating department.” Suga narrows his eyes. “And I can’t believe Kuroo would spill. So much for honour among thieves.”

“I resent that,” Kuroo says, eyeing them in the rearview mirror. He’s trying to look aggrieved but the natural slyness of his mouth just makes him look suspicious. “Get out of my car and walk back to Tokyo.”

“Did you just call yourself a thief, or did you call me a thief,” Daichi asks.

“Me. You. All of us,” Suga laughs. “Aren’t we all complicit in stealing away Kenma.”

They were on summer break from university in Tokyo, spending a weekend back home in Miyagi to take in some of the fresh green air the does something good and solid to the bones. Kuroo and Kenma had wanted to visit too (“Seeing Hinata is what passes for his daily recommended dose of Vitamin D,” Kuroo had said), and Kuroo had graciously offered to drive them all to and from the city.

“Hey,” Daichi says, as the landscape passes by in a blur of green hills and fields, everything painted by the orange sun setting behind them as they drive back to the city. It's a long way back, and they'll be long gone by the time true night falls, that time when you can still see every star in the sky; but maybe the neon pinprick lights of Tokyo weren’t such a bad stand-in after all. If Suga was being honest with himself, home didn’t quite feel like home anymore. Maybe it’s true that your bones could get too much of a good thing. Maybe it's true that you can even outgrow the ground where you blossomed in the spring, where you learned what it meant to feel like flying.

And maybe home could be this too, sitting the back of the car of the person who helped you land on both feet when you were all stumbling on concrete, watching with an ache in your chest as he puts the gentlest, most careful hand on a slumbering blonde head, maybe it was the way Daichi leans into you, to twine his fingers with yours, warm and close and the only thing you brought with you from home, Daichi and your bones, to plant in a new place, to grow a new thing.

“This is good, you know,” Suga says back, and he holds onto Daichi’s hand as tight as he can.
