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!

apparently i just really wanted to write heath and kyousuke making out because my fingers moved on their own
***
In the end, it’s Heath who gives in first.
Kyousuke knows, of course (how, how could he not); they’ve never needed more than split seconds and glances like shadowed lightning, all of the sparks he’s buried in the palm of his hand, over the years. They burn now, a bonfire flaring as he steps backward into the wall of the dressing room, cups the back of Heath’s neck and laces his fingers through the beads of sweat in his hair.
He does not need this for the balance, for he is sure on his feet even in such a tiny space, the slivers of spotlights from the doorway more than enough for him. What he needs is Heath’s hungry eyes and his breath warm on his cheek. What he needs—
It isn’t anything that Heath won’t give (he knows, he knows). But asking for it, that’s different. And Kyousuke is bold, in his way; he’s a silent demon on the roads and the sultry wind is his for the taking, reins like ribbons worn bright round his wrists, but there are things he has not dared to deserve, things that, in his heart, he knows are too good for him.
Has Heath always been one of those things? He cannot say in this moment, cannot put his finger on when always starts and ends. The only answer he can give, now, is a low sigh ripped from some secret place, and then Heath is saying his name like an earthly devotion, a mistake he aches to make right. Kyousuke. Kyousuke.
Careful, Kyousuke murmurs, you’ll damage Diane’s clothes.
Heath laughs, runs his callused fingertips down Kyousuke’s chin, the fine curve of his exposed clavicle. His knuckles brush against the silken fabric of the oversized robe. Inch by inch, he teases the collar off Kyousuke’s shoulder.
Diane knows what she’s doing, he says.
Kyousuke smiles. Of course she does. He had been foolish to doubt. There is much, perhaps, that he has been foolish about.
Heath kisses like he has been waiting forever for this. It’s no first kiss, for either of them; there was a time when Tomoe kissed Kyousuke by the lockers in the club room, and as for Heath, Kyousuke’s seen a revolving door of girls come and go with their chocolate and their lipstick and all of Heath’s gentlemanly worries trailing in their wake.
I’m the worst, Heath would say, watching them go, and Kyousuke would keep his silence, let Heath ride pillion on a jaunt to nowhere, taking the scenic route to both their homes.
Heath does not kiss like Tomoe. They are like day and night, summer and winter, and Kyousuke, who’s been in the dark too long, gives himself over to the melting heat at last.
Re: FILL: TEAM GRANDSTAND, B1, T
just this is very soft and evocative and softly yells the way you show the slow build, how this has been waiting to happen, slowly slowly. kuga's own issues and the question of deserving, im in tears bye
but just softly yells at this part
and as for Heath, Kyousuke’s seen a revolving door of girls come and go with their chocolate and their lipstick and all of Heath’s gentlemanly worries trailing in their wake.
HEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATH
and the last line like, THE THINGS IT SORT OF IMPLIES (OR MY PENCHANT FOR ANGST AND TRAGEDY)--
goodbye lark i am ended.
(but also thank u for a beautiful fill <3)
