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.

Suga finds the first one stuck onto the empty pillow beside him.
The sun is just cresting the horizon and their entire bedroom is awash with orange and gold, and it smells like the best kind of summer here, warm and fresh and new, but the space in the bed beside Suga is disappointingly empty, though he knew it would be. Daichi always had to rise before the sun for work. But today, today Suga finds a little post-it note, bright cheery orange, and it says in Daichi’s strong neat handwriting, “Remember the time we drove all the way to the ocean to see the sun rise.”
And Suga does remember, lies there in bed remembering the way the waves had washed against their bare feet as they had yelled at each other to go into the ice cold water, and then had yelled at each other again when they had both raced to see who would be first to be that brave. Daichi had kissed Suga by the water that day, shivering and blue-lipped, but all Suga had felt was how warm Daichi’s hands were, how they trembled as they held onto his waist. Daichi had tasted like sea salt in his mouth.
Suga finds the second post-it on the mirror in the bathroom, pale blue like periwinkle, and it says, “Remember the time we drove back to Tokyo and the sun was setting behind us and you cried so hard we had to pull over.”
And Suga closes his eyes, mutters something like, Daichi, I thought you had forgotten that, and sometimes he wishes Daichi would, too, how Suga had been so embarrassed afterward for feeling so alone and undone by the vastness of the entirety of their lives before them, and the moment he had to leave behind the bones of his small life, and only Daichi had known how it felt even a little, only Daichi had held his hand so hard it was his only anchor in the world as the sun set in his eyes, blinding him in red and orange and purple, until they had reached the neon tipped skyline of Tokyo again.
Suga finds the third post-it on their fridge, or rather, a series of them, taped together like Daichi hard started writing and couldn’t stop, and Daichi’s handwriting, usually so clean and strong, wavers a little on the words, and Suga can’t help but laugh at what it says, so helpless, so hopeless at this feeling.
“Remember the first time I said ‘I love you’ and you were so shocked you punched me right in the gut. We had to pull the car over a second time that day, but it was worth it. They were stringing coloured lights in the trees for the summer festival in that little park we used to live near in Tokyo, and you made me make a wish on every one. Suga, I wished for this. I wished that I could spend your next birthday with you, too, just like that day we had just spent, and I wished that I could spend the next one after that with you, too, and every birthday after.”
“Let’s go see the sun rise over the beach again.” Daichi’s writing ends with, and as the morning sun floods the kitchen where Suga stands, Suga closes his eyes and it’s like he can taste the sea salt in his mouth all over again, and he smiles at everything the day ahead has to offer.
Re: FILL: TEAM KAGEYAMA TOBIO/OIKAWA TOORU, C3, G
the memories, the little promises, how far they've come and how far they've yet to go..... i have tears in my eyes it's so sweet i hope they continue to see sun rises together forever and ever
thank u for all the fills, they're all so wonderful, it was interesting to see how many ways they can say "i love you" without actually saying "i love you" out loud, these were such a beautiful adventure :')
