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.

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

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).

FILL: TEAM KURAMOCHI YOUICHI/MIYUKI KAZUYA, B1, T

Square: the sweating sickness
Word Count: 950

all italicized text is from the wikipedia article on the sweating sickness :>

***

the disease began very suddenly with a sense of apprehension, followed by cold shivers (sometimes very violent), giddiness, headache, and severe pains in the neck, shoulders and limbs, with great exhaustion.

For Kuramochi, it feels like practices are getting increasingly harder, and not in a physical sense. It’s harder to keep his eyes off Miyuki, harder not to smile every time he flashes that stupid smirk, harder to breathe when Miyuki’s around him. He stretches out his shoulders as he watches Miyuki pull off his mask at practice, sweat running down his terrible, awful, perfectly structured face.

Kuramochi sits in the bath afterwards, letting the heat drain the pain from his limbs. He closes his eyes and sinks down a bit further into the water, hoping he’ll stay awake enough so he doesn’t actually drown in the bath. He’s so tired that his brain can’t even hyper-fixate on Miyuki, and that is a blessing in disguise. Kuramochi appreciates the break.

Miyuki enters the bath and slides in next to him, and it’s obvious that he’s trying not to disturb Kuramochi. That is, until Kuramochi gets a towel in the face, followed by Miyuki’s obnoxious snickering.

“I hate you,” Kuramochi says, with no bite.
“You must be exhausted. I’m surprised you didn’t punch me for that, Kuramochi!”
“Yeah, well…” he trails off and steps out of the bath. He should really get some rest.
“Kuramochi,” Miyuki says. Kuramochi turns to him, draping a towel around his waist.
“Yeah?”
“You okay?”
“Fine. ‘Night.” Kuramochi leaves quickly, trying not to dwell on Miyuki’s concerned expression.

after the cold stage, which might last from half an hour to three hours, the hot and sweating stage followed. the characteristic sweat broke out suddenly without any obvious cause.

It’s not the first time that Kuramochi has a dream about Miyuki, let alone one that has him waking up in the middle of the night, drenched in sweat, and turned on. He stares up at the bottom of Sawamura’s bunk and thinks about the wood grain and his as of yet unfinished literature homework. It’s a poor attempt at distracting himself, but he’s trying his best.

Thankfully, Sawamura is a sound sleeper and doesn’t stir when Kuramochi gets out of bed, throws on a hoodie and heads outside to clear his head. Kuramochi really needs to stop indulging his fantasies because there is no way he’ll ever get over them if he doesn’t. It’s poor logic at best, but Kuramochi can’t think of anything better.
He makes his way over to the bench by the vending machine so he can sit down and contemplate the poor life choices that have led to a crush on Miyuki Kazuya. It’s a bit overdramatic to consider birth as his first poor life choice, but he is feeling a little overdramatic and more than a little frustrated. So much so that he doesn’t notice Miyuki approaching the bench.

“Someone’s going to think you’re crazy, muttering to yourself like that,” Miyuki says, heavily implying that he is that someone. He snickers and sits down next to Kuramochi, close enough to touch.
A wave of heat rushes through Kuramochi’s veins and he finds himself sweating in the cool evening.
“Takes one to know one, you weirdo,” he bites back, though judging by Miyuki’s laughter, Kuramochi is not wrong.
“What are you doing out here?” Miyuki asks, softer this time. Kuramochi slides further into a slouch on the bench.
“Thinkin’.”
“Must be exhausting. You’ve worked up quite a sweat, there.”
Kuramochi rotates to punch Miyuki in the arm but stops dead when he feels Miyuki’s fingers hovering at his hairline. The touch is tentative and almost painfully gentle as Miyuki brushes Kuramochi’s hair back.

accompanying the sweat, or after, was a sense of heat, headache, delirium, rapid pulse, and intense thirst. palpitation and pain in the heart were frequent symptoms.

First, Kuramochi assumes that he’s hallucinating this entire moment. He’s still in bed, dreaming that Miyuki Kazuya is touching him like he’s precious, and gently pushing his hair back. It takes one look into Miyuki’s eyes to convince Kuramochi that this isn’t a dream, and in realizing this, his heart rate picks up. The silence, and Kuramochi’s incredulity, stretches out for what seems like forever, and Miyuki’s hand drops to his side. He stammers something- Miyuki stammering is enough to upend Kuramochi’s world- and stands.
“Wait!” Kuramochi orders, reaching for the hem of Miyuki’s jacket. “Wait.” He’s barely breathing, and he feels like he’s got a fever, he’s so hot.
“I’m waiting,” Miyuki says quietly. Kuramochi stands, turning Miyuki so they’re face to face. Miyuki looks as vulnerable as Kuramochi feels, like he’s expecting to be chewed out, or worse, rejected. Kuramochi swallows thickly in preparation for what might be the stupidest thing that he will ever do, next to the whole ‘developing a crush on Miyuki’ thing. He grabs the collar of Miyuki’s jacket, rises on his toes, and presses an overenthusiastic kiss to Miyuki’s cheek.

in the final stages, there was either general exhaustion and collapse, or an irresistible urge to sleep.

Kuramochi watches breathlessly as Miyuki lifts his hand to touch his cheek, lips gently parted in surprise. The surprise quickly gives way to a smile that Kuramochi has never seen. It’s lopsided and goofy, but Kuramochi knows it’s genuine. He smiles back, albeit nervously.
“Want to go for a walk?” Miyuki asks, and Kuramochi nods.
Miyuki tentatively reaches for Kuramochi’s hand as they start walking, and even though Kuramochi flushes like he’s been running all afternoon, he tangles their fingers and hangs on tightly.

An hour later, Kuramochi makes his way back to his room thanks to muscle memory; his brain is completely out of commission. He’s elated, relieved, but most of all, emotionally drained. He flops onto his bed, grinning, tired enough to fall asleep immediately.
