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

Fills 5-10: 15 points each
Fills 11-20: 5 points each

Wakamatsu’s back is broad; this isn’t a new revelation Sakurai’s had suddenly. Still, though, even when he’s being careful with how much sunscreen he uses, he’s got to refill his hands more than he’s accustomed to to cover it, rubbing the white into the slight tan of Wakamatsu’s skin. It’s really something, the way his muscles ripple, the definition of his shoulders and the back of his arms.
“Everything okay?” says Wakamatsu.
Sakurai feels his face turn the color of a cooked crustacean, and no amount of sunscreen or aloe is going to bring that down anytime soon. “I’m sorry I’m taking so long!”
“It’s okay,” says Wakamatsu. “I know you’re doing a thorough job.”
He glances over his shoulder, shooting his captain-grin down, and Sakurai can’t help but smile back.
“You look a little rosy.”
Sakurai’s cheeks are encased in flames, as if he’s being pulled into a volcano (part of him wants to be; this is embarrassing as hell even if they are going out). “I’m fine! I just have to reapply; let me finish you…”
“Sure,” says Wakamatsu.
Sakurai doesn’t delay, rubbing in a few other spaces, up the back of Wakamatsu’s neck (he feels Wakamatsu’s sigh through his skin and wants to sigh himself). And, well, there’s nothing worse than not getting the edges, so Sakurai cakes his palms in white lotion again and dips them just under Wakamatsu’s waistband. Wakamatsu nearly jumps; the back of his neck colors and Sakurai’s fingers nearly slip, just above Wakamatsu’s ass and around the side of his hips.
“Just in case,” he says.
“Fuck," says Wakamatsu. “That was hot.”
“That was safe,” says Sakurai, though a smile is playing on his face; Wakamatsu turns around to look down at him and kisses him full on the mouth.
There is sunscreen on the edges of his lips; it tastes bitter when it smears against Sakurai’s tongue but he reaches up to steady himself against Wakamatsu’s sturdy shoulder. He thinks, absently, that he could help with the front, but maybe that’s a little too much. It’s definitely a little (a lot?) too much (Sakurai wants to do it anyway). He steps down to his feet, bare against the cool asphalt of the shaded parking lot.
“Let me get your back, too,” says Wakamatsu, pink still dusting his face, the color of weathered bricks.
Sakurai nods and hands over the sunscreen, turning himself around.
