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.

Square: tangled hair
Word Count: 469
***
Masako’s hair is longer, but Alex’s tangles more easily, uneven layers all caught up in each other, snarled into knots that only worsen with the humidity in Akita.
“Maybe I should just chop it all off,” Alex says, staring straight out the window.
Masako’s not sure if she’s serious; she’s not sure she’s ever seen a picture of Alex with short hair (shorter, yes, the atrocious hairstyle she’d had in her college and pro years, yes, and she ridicules Alex with no holds barred). And she doesn’t mind when Alex sweeps her hair up above her neck, the few strands that haven’t yet grown long enough hanging loose at her hairline.
“Do you want to?” Masako says.
“I don’t know,” Alex says, groaning and flopping back against the couch. “I just want my hair to be not tangled right now.”
“There are less passive-aggressive ways of asking me to brush your hair, you know,” says Masako.
Alex looks at her, suddenly wide-eyed. “You’d do that?”
Masako holds out her hand, and Alex forks over the brush, wriggling closer to Masako and hanging her head over.
Her hair’s not in too bad a state right now, one section snarled up through to the scalp but the rest look relatively tangle-free. She runs her hands through, gently pulling at the few little knots she finds, sticking the strands of hair that come out on the table.
“Let me know if it hurts.”
“You’re good so far,” says Alex.
Masako runs the brush through the untangled sections; it goes smooth though Alex’s hair is frizzing out at the bottom the way it always does after she brushes it, a side effect that only goes away after dunking her head in the shower. It looks kind of cute all puffy around her shoulders like that, but Masako knows Alex doesn’t agree. She lets herself look for a while, the sun slanted through the living room blinds and catching Alex’s hair and turning it a darker, almost-orange color.
“Masako?”
“Sorry.”
She works on the big piece with her fingers first, pulling apart subsections guiding strands of hair into their approximate spaces, watching as a few split ends come undone and flutter to the floor (dramatic or not, Alex definitely needs a haircut soon). She works up from the bottom; it’s tedious (and sometimes Alex yelps; it’s always going to hurt a little bit and Masako’s no hairstylist) but steady; the tangle grows thinner, shorter, less of a clump, until finally Masako runs the brush through it, and finally it hits no snags on the whole way down.
“Thanks,” Alex says, reaching up to push her hair down against her scalp, and then she turns to give Masako a kiss.
“My fee’s two,” says Masako, and Alex grins into her lips.
