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)
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

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!

Tatsuya would be lying if he said he didn’t get jealous of the way Daiki and Taiga go into the zone against each other. It doesn’t happen every time they play, but often enough; sometimes he can tell in their eyes when they’ve been itching for it and they’re going to go first five minutes, and, well. It’s incredible, the reason he loves basketball writ large across the TV screen, the way they move at a different speed from the world, the vibrations of their dunks through the hoops, the height of their jumps and the force of their blocks. But he can’t keep focusing on that, especially afterward, and it starts to hurt.
It’s crawling behind his teeth, under his skin and deep in his muscles. He’d just played Taiga last week; this is what Taiga wants to play against, something Tatsuya can’t provide. He can’t provide it to Daiki, either; he’s useless and it’s something between them that he can’t share (he has those with Taiga and Daiki, and they run just as deep, but Tatsuya can’t help how much he wants this, too). It’s a reminder, too, that no matter how top-tier he is, best league in the world and best player on a good team, he’s still right below the top tier, reaching again and again and continuously falling short of the place where the people he loves the most are, and it’s starting to really fucking hurt. Tatsuya closes his eyes and leans back.
They go out of the zone and finish the game, a step or two behind their usual pace, but they don’t need to worry about stats at this point in the game (and they’re still pretty fucking good, even compared to your average NBA player). Tatsuya gets up to make dinner when it’s over; he usually calls them but tonight they’ll be too tired to do anything other than sleep in each other’s arms (maybe Daiki will send him a morning selfie of him flashing a peace sign while Taiga drools on the pillow; the thought makes the hurt subside a little bit and Tatsuya smiles).
The phone rings when he’s climbing into bed; it shows Taiga’s name on the caller ID.
“Hey,” says Tatsuya. “Good game.”
“You didn’t call,” says Taiga, a little accusatory.
“I thought you might be too tired.”
“Never too tired for you,” says Taiga, warmth flooding through the phone like a ray of sun through a closed window in winter. “I wish you were here.”
“Me, too,” Tatsuya says, trying not to swallow so hard.
“You should be here,” says Daiki. “Let Taiga cling to you instead.”
“Who’s the clingy one, asshole?” says Taiga, and Tatsuya can hear the sound of rustling and shoving in the background.
He feels the smile start on his face before he knows he wants to. It still hurts, but it’s fading like a days-old bruise, deeper than skin but still impermanent.
