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.

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!

My first Chreogi, what do.

Also sorry for so many dumb edits.

***

It was a coincidence that they returned to the hotel from the club at the same time. Georgi certainly hadn’t intended to let Giacometti spend an extended period of time with him, but it couldn’t be helped. The doors were locked and the night attendant didn’t come no matter how many times he rang the bell. It was his fault for agreeing to stay at a smaller hotel rather than the big, international ones closer to the venue, but Natasha was staying there with the rest of the Russian team, Natasha and her new boyfriend, with whom she was extravagantly, annoying in love with.

Georgi didn’t need to see that.

He didn’t know why Giacometti was here, though. Not hiding out from a broken heart, surely. Maybe he was just cheap?

Giacometti caught his eye and shrugged. “I have a cousin who lives close by. If we’re quiet, she’ll let us stay. Will you come?”

“My bags are up there,” Georgi huffed.

“You’ll still look pretty in the morning,” Giacometti said with a wink.

How stupid. No wonder Victor liked him so much.

*

‘Close’ was only a relative term, it turned out. Giacometti led him through twisted and turning streets, veering off this way and that, squinting at the dim light of his flip phone. Georgi walked behind him and watched the shadows suspiciously. Sometimes he’d see a face looking back at him, but then it would disappear, uninterested.

“If we get attacked, I’m leaving you behind for dead,” Georgi said to Giacometti’s back.

“Fair enough. We’re here.”

His cousin’s place was a long, narrow apartment building with no elevators to speak of. The cousin lived on the top floor because of course she did. Georgi prided himself on his athletic ability and endurance, but it had been a long, long day. By the time he’d reached the top of the stairs, he was exhausted, leaning against Giacometti’s back for support.

Giacometti rooted around his pocket until he got out a key and opened the door. Inside, the apartment was clean and plainly, boringly furnished. It seemed like it was empty.

“Ah, she must not be in,” Giacometti said. “But still, there should be some food in the fridge. Are you hungry?”

“No,” Georgi said, just as his stomach groaned loudly.

*

The food he didn’t remember, but then Giacometti brought out the wine. “Why do you call me Giacometti? All my friends call me Chris. Christophe is all right, if you want to be formal.”

“We’re not friends,” Georgi said, pointing to his empty glass. “We’re competitors, rivals. Really, I’m respecting you when I don’t call you Chris.”

“I don’t really think of you as a rival though. And I really prefer Chris,” Chris said, watching him with those big green eyes that were too much like Natasha’s. Georgi felt his heart crumble in his chest. Natasha! Why had she left him? Why had she turned away from him? He thought she really had been the one…

Then Chris’ words penetrated into his skull. “Oh. You think of Victor as your rival, don’t you? Not me. Fuck you.”

“You act like I don’t understand you,” Chris said with an expansive shrug. “Lambiel’s a genius too, you know, and won’t retire anytime soon. We all want our moment in the sun.”

Georgi had never had his moment in the sun. That was his fate, coming up at the same time as Victor, who the whole world loved. Georgi couldn’t even keep the love of a single, solitary girl. Suddenly, tears welled up in his eyes and spilled down his cheeks.

Alcohol always made him emotional, and he had been drinking at the club earlier too.

Chris, mistaking Georgi’s tears for a bout of professional frustration, drew closer to him and threw an arm around Georgi’s shoulders. He made comforting, nonsensical noises that Georgi chose to ignore.

“Let me distract you. Do you want to fuck?” Chris murmured in his ear.

“Wha--” Georgi swallowed hard. He felt wretched, of course, and sad and awful. But also pretty horny. “... Fine.”

*

The next morning, they went back to the hotel. Georgi didn’t see Chris again until a year later, in Switzerland. He was spotted before he could avoid him -- Chris waved to him and said, cheerfully, “Hey, Popovich! You owe me, don’t you?”

(He did.)

Thank you for this! Oh, Chris, so direct. :D And poor Georgi, always so unlucky in love. I'm glad he has Chris to distract him for a night. And I'm sure Georgi did look very pretty in the morning. <3
