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!

***
When the summer days are this grossly humid and it’s light outside this long, there’s nothing to do after morning practice but collapse in a heap in Kanako’s air-conditioned bedroom. They’d both taken showers in the locker room and they’re already coated in sweat again. Hikaru sighs, leaning back farther into the softness of Kanako’s high-thread-count sheets and the give of her mattress, reaching out with one hand to trace over Kanako’s hipbone through her top, eyes closed.
Kanako jerks back, eyes wide and face red. “Do you want anything to drink? I’ll get orange juice.”
She practically bolts from the room, and Hikaru rolls her shoulders back. It’s always like this; Kanako will be so comfortable with her, kissing or cuddling or even touching a little bit, but at a certain point (always a different one) she just shuts down and deflects. She never says she doesn’t want it or isn’t ready; sometimes she’ll push for it herself when Hikaru’s trying to be considerate and back off, and then Hikaru will try something else again and hit her boundary, arbitrarily moved somewhere it wasn’t before. They need to talk about it; it’s as much Hikaru’s fault as hers (maybe more; Kanako’s clearly uncomfortable) that they haven’t.
Kanako comes back with two glasses, already sweating from the humidity out in the hall. She hands one to Hikaru and takes a cautious sip of her own; her face isn’t as red-flushed as before.
“Hey,” says Hikaru. “If I’m doing something wrong, or if you’re not ready—just tell me, okay? I don’t want to go too fast; I want to know where you’re comfortable stopping so I don’t keep going to far and making you feel bad.”
The glass slips in Kanako’s hand; she catches it before it falls. “I…it’s not that I don’t want to,” she says.
Hikaru raises an eyebrow. “It’s okay if you don’t. I’m not going to think you’re a prude or anything.”
“I do want to!” Kanako says, sitting up straighter. “But I don’t know what I’m doing and I don’t want to get caught in a place where you do, and I…” she trails off.
“I don’t know what I’m doing, either,” says Hikaru. “I’m just trying what I think would be fun, and maybe it is and maybe it isn’t.”
“Oh,” says Kanako, face coloring over again.
“But, like I said,” says Hikaru. “We can slow down and get you to the point where you feel like you do know what you’re doing before we move on. If that works better.”
Kanako nods, short.
“So what do you want to do right now?" says Hikaru. “Like, we don’t have to start doing whatever at this moment, but.”
“I want to kiss you," says Kanako, all in a rush. “I want to work on that.”
“You’re pretty damn good already,” says Hikaru. “But I don’t mind the practice myself.”
