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 crazy,” Daichi yells.
“I can’t hear you saying how crazy I am,” Suga yells right back. “Over how loud your own crazy sounds right now.”
Suga knows better to look down. In fact, Suga knows best to look straight ahead, gloved, practiced hands gripping tight around the curved metal of the rollercoaster railing. His feet are planted securely in the tracks, and he knows that Daichi is doing the same just over his shoulder.
It feels like they’re a billion metres off the ground, it feels like even the easiest wind could leave them lightheaded, dangerous, but the pale morning sun is cresting the sky and everything is awash in gold, and Suga has always loved that feeling of being on top of the world; that feeling like flying.
Daichi and Suga have been exploring urban ruins for about five years now, ever since the thrill of it took hold of them in their first year of university, but this was surely a first. They were in Nara on vacation, here to breathe in the soft air of the green park, maybe see some deer, all very solid and normal travel plans for two people who needed a small break in their overwhelmingly busy lives. But when Suga had learned from a blog post that the Nara Dreamland amusement park — dreamy and fantastical and not quite right in the height of its day, eerie and surreal in the twilight of its ruin — was finally set to be demolished this year, his eyes had taken on that gleam, the one that says something about the mischief of crows, the one that has always led Daichi astray with it, afield, aflight.
“Higher, we can still go higher!” Suga yells behind him again, and if once he had followed close behind the stride of Daichi’s sure step, it was now Suga that led them deep into the thick of it all, Suga who was always so restless with the entirety of where he was, always so dissatisfied.
Daichi can’t help but smile at this, watching this Suga of this moment now steadily climbing into the dangerous loop of a rollercoaster flaking faded pink and teal paint onto their hands, and Suga is still laughing bright and open, urging them higher still. And Daichi follows. He’ll always follow.
“Wasn’t it worth it?” Suga says softly, an almost-whisper, as if the air here could break under anything louder. They’re sitting in the loop of the rollercoaster somewhere high above the world, and everywhere around them is blue and pale gold sky. Daichi pulls out the little Polaroid camera they carry as part of their documentation gear, and quickly snaps a photo of Suga under the arch of the rollercoaster tracks. Always. He takes another of Suga grinning at him, pale sun like gold in his hair. Always, always. He takes another of Suga turning to face away from the light wind, misses what Suga says softly in that moment.
“Always,” Daichi says out loud, and this time the wind carries the words home.
