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.

If you see anyone breaking the code of conduct (e.g., causing drama, being rude) anywhere (not just DW), please contact the mods immediately.


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!

FILL: TEAM KURAMOCHI YOUICHI/MIYUKI KAZUYA, G

Ship: miyuki kazuya & maezono kenta
Fandom: daiya no a
Major Tags: none

Square: "exhaustion" (c1)

sets this here gently

***

if you asked him, zono would tell you he isn't quite sure how it happened. usually miyuki sits next to kuramochi, or sometimes one of the pitchers if he wants to review the game with them. he used to sit with chris-senpai, and he has a penchant for choosing the window seat so he's more difficult to access.

he's still in the window seat today, but he's not sitting with any of the usual suspects. mochi ended up next to kominato, the two of them going over their successes and errors with regards to fielding. nori found a spot next to shirasu, and furuya and eijun share a row near the front.

and so miyuki's seat partner ends up being zono himself, though zono finds he's having difficulty actually taking the seat. miyuki, noticing zono standing in the aisle, looks up and sees his hesitance instantly. with a smile, he says: "you can sit down you know, zono."

the rest of the team is settling into their seats for the ride back; zono hastens to follow suit before he attracts attention.

"afraid to sit next to me?" miyuki asks.

"no!" zono answers, too quickly, too loudly.

miyuki's smirk—and that's absolutely what it is, zono realizes—grows. "i could use the quiet anyway; sawamura was talking about going over his change-up the whole way back."

zono shrugs, unsure of how to respond to that. they fall into silence as the engine of the bus turns over and they start the trip back to seido.

zono doesn't know miyuki as well as he would like; he knows it's something miyuki fosters, and he knows that his fellow vice captain is likely the only person on the team with anything close to an understanding of how miyuki's mind works. no, he doesn't know miyuki well; but he can recognize the physical symptoms of exhaustion.

miyuki's eyes are glazed over as he looks out at the passing landscape, with dark circles that zono can see even behind miyuki's glasses. his face seems lined, paler than usual.

it's clear miyuki wasn't lying when he said that some peace and quiet on the ride back wouldn't hurt.

there's a sudden weight on zono's shoulder; he goes still from surprise, biting back a yelp. then, after a moment, he turns very slowly.

he finds miyuki, asleep, leaning against his shoulder.

zono blinks. that's. well, that's definitely the captain, dozing while he uses zono as a human pillow.

he thinks about waking miyuki up, unsure if he'd be embarrassed to find himself in this position should he wake up, but this is the most peaceful zono has perhaps ever seen miyuki's face, and what kind of supportive vice captain would he be if he interrupted miyuki's clearly much-needed rest?

so he settles back into his seat, careful not to jostle miyuki, and closes his own eyes, letting the motion of the bus lull Jim into his own peaceful trance. not quite asleep, always distantly aware of miyuki's weight on his shoulder, but tranquil, even with sawamura's sharp voice coming from the front of the bus.

(later, when kuramochi sends him a picture to his phone, he doesn't have to check to know what it is. he also doesn't need to tell anyone that he saves the photo to his phone.)
