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
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!

Taiga doesn’t need a gold medal. Technically, without the gold game, this wouldn’t happen, but he doesn’t need any physical trophy when Tatsuya’s smiling so brilliantly, like a baseball game at night with floodlights and flashbulbs streaking beams of light everywhere. Taiga hasn’t let him go since they won; no one’s making him and Tatsuya doesn’t seem inclined to wriggle out from under his arm. He’s resting comfortably there, the number twelve on his back raised under Taiga’s fingers, and Taiga thinks back to when they were kids, escaping the summer heat by refilling cups of lemonade at fast-food restaurants and staring at the static-clogged Olympic basketball games on TV, vowing it would be them one day.
And it is, now; they’re passing out the medals and Tatsuya pulls Taiga over for the photo op with the rest of the team, bumping and jostling to sort themselves out.
“We’re number one!” someone shouts, and they all cheer; Taiga’s voice mixes with Tatsuya’s until he can no longer tell the difference.
-
Daiki had gotten back to their hotel room right after the bronze medal game; he’s still wearing his Team Japan jacket (it’s really not that cold, but he’s still injured so Taiga’s going to let him get away with more passive-aggression than usual).
“We would have made it to the final if I was healthy,” Daiki says.
“We still would have won,” says Tatsuya, but his tone nearly betrays a half-disbelief that this is all really happening.
Taiga leans down to kiss his cheek and Daiki rolls his eyes, slumping back on the bed. “You two are disgusting. At least give me good victory sex.”
“What have you won?” says Tatsuya.
“You two,” says Daiki. “Pay up.”
That doesn’t even make sense; Taiga opens his mouth to argue but Tatsuya’s already moving toward the bed, pulling his shirt off, shoving Daiki down the rest of the way.
-
The clock reads 4:16 in the morning when Taiga wakes up; he can still hear people partying outside the hotel but that’s not what’s done it. Next to him, Tatsuya’s snoring softly, one fist curled around the blankets. On the other side, Daiki shifts, rolling over to catch Taiga’s eye, as if he’s been up for a while.
“He’s so fucking happy,” Daiki whispers, looking down at Tatsuya.
“I know,” says Taiga, and God, does this lift him like nothing else, greater than a thousand victories.
He tucks a lock of Tatsuya’s hair back behind his ear; Daiki catches his hand on Tatsuya’s jaw. They stay like that for a little while longer.
