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!

Square: her lip gloss tastes sweet
Word Count: 432
high school au? high school au
***
Alex wears peppermint lip gloss, shiny against her mouth in the winter sun, her lips always soft and full even in the winter, when Masako forgets to put on anything and hers get all chapped and cracked and gross.
“Do you want some?” Alex asks as they’re standing in the bathroom area of the locker room, Masako adjusting her school uniform and Alex’s array of headbands and makeup scattered all around the dirty sink (how she’s not late for class after P.E. every single day Masako has no clue).
She holds out the small tin; Masako can smell it from here (like when she stands too close to Alex accidentally-on-purpose, when Alex crowds her space to get a look at her homework, when Alex is about to shoot a free throw and Masako’s bumping her shoulder for luck). She smears a finger across the waxy surface, and Alex grins.
“Finally got you. Eyeshadow next?”
“Ha, ha,” says Masako (as if; she’s tried on makeup and it always makes her look like a clown or a demented panda, and it seems like all the other girls went to some class on a day she was sick and learned how to apply it perfectly, make their eyes pop and their cheeks look just the right amount of pinched, their skin tones all evened under a full face worth, and she wouldn’t notice if it didn’t make so many of them look so damn attractive, Alex least of all—though Masako’s seen her with a scrubbed face, just out of the school pool, about to go to bed at a team sleepover, everything taken off before practice when she says it might be better for her face to breathe).
Her lip gloss tastes sweet on Masako’s mouth, like chewing gum. She puckers her lips in the mirror, making a kissy face, and Alex laughs.
“Damn, you’re an Instagram model now.”
“You know it,” says Masako, heat unfurling in her stomach even at something so clearly a joke as this.
She slots a few bobby pins into her hair, away from her face (she needs a fucking haircut soon). Alex’s own hair is in its customary ponytail; she eyes them both critically in the mirror. Masako raises an eyebrow; it’s as if all of a sudden Alex has realized, as if Masako’s done something to make her big, fat crush obvious (though she’s had so many moments before then, but maybe this is just the last straw). Masako clears her throat.
“Hey,” says Alex.
Masako kisses her first; their lips taste the same.
