Bonus Bonus Round: Encore

Bonus Bonus Round: Encore

SASO 2015 is over, but this round is perpetually open to new fills (no new prompts).


This is your last chance to get fills for unloved prompts from all previous rounds. Let's party!

(Pay attention to the prompt format this round, located below; it's different from previous rounds. Don't forget about the "Recs" bonus round either!)

This round ends at 7PM on August 22 EDT. Countdown Timer.

RULES

• NO NEW PROMPTS ALLOWED. It has to be a repost from a previous bonus round.
• You can repeat any previous bonus round prompt, whether it received fill(s) or not.
• You can repeat your own prompts.
• One prompt per post, post as many times as you want.
• If you're posting a prompt that's not yours originally, please check the toplevels to avoid posting repeats.
• Fills work the same way as every other round: don't fill your own or your teammates' prompts, including old reposted prompts. It works like this:
  • Your teammate posts a prompt that was originally posted by a different team? You can fill that.
  • Someone else posts a prompt originally created by you or your teammate? You cannot fill that.
  • You post a prompt originally posted by another team? You can't fill that either.
• Fill prompts by leaving a responding comment to the prompt with your newly-created work.
• Remember to follow the general bonus round rules, outlined here.

Required Work Minimums:

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 each (maximum of 50 prompt points per team per round)

For fills:

First 3 fills by any member of your team: 20 points each
Fills 4-10: 10 points each
Fills 11-20: 5 points each
Fills 21+: 2 points each

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.

Poem; 16 lines (and I was going for chihaya/oe but I'm not sure if it came across)

You move, graceful in this if nothing else.
The way it sounds, your hand against the mat,
is not unlike the erratic
beating of my heart. It’s strange,
how you mirror something so personal- that
you’re entwined with my heart somehow,
even more than me.

And I watch your hands,
it’s not that they glow,
          that’s just something about your skin
          or something about my eyes,
it’s just that they move so fast I forget that they’re part of you.

It’s just that looking at you is
like looking at the sun and I don’t know if
I want to crawl up into your sky and shine bright on my own,
or if I only want to burn.

Chihaya/Oe. "Taming Auburn Seas"

Taming auburn seas like sandbars reveal'd or sun's rays that make them gleam
Never fear that I will catch what my fingers cannot hold

On my lover's hand, crystal beads of dew gleam bright
as she reaps her verdant field.

Let their shine not keep
your eyes from heaven that you may see the stars gleam brighter.

But if the dewdrops reflect their light, are they not
before my eyes all the same?

What measure can bring
the stars themselves to earth, or trap a dream within two hands?

Be two hands a dream, their reaching sum can measure
the world with thousandfold speed.

Let a new wind burn
long to echo that a dream must be no one's but your own.

And yet when evening falls, I dream of morning dew
on those distant banks of sand.

Would you find them cold
to touch, as cold as the dark before the sun lights the waves?

The heat beneath the auburn tides, warmer than sun,
more constant than fallow fields.

Burning heat may scald,
and earth, too, sleeps in winter. To dream of new springs, perhaps?

Then let me turn to stars reflected, guided by
galaxies within your grasp.

Watch if you will, and
listen for the song to start to reap the field you have sown.

Naniwa-zu ni sakuya kono hana fuyu-gomori
Ima o haru-be to sakuya kono hana

So most of the Japanese language puns definitely aren't coming through without a guide. Although I'll let the imagery speak for itself I feel like some things should be spelled out... In Chihaya, the "chi" means "thousand", and the "haya" means "fast" or "early". "Arata" is written with the kanji for "new", and one thing that can be translated "perhaps" is the sentence ending particle "kana?" Also, I used traditional 5-7-5-7-7 tanka form for the opening and the ending couplets, but the middle "answering couplets" are done in the 5-7-7 :: 5-7-7 "sedouka" form generally used for poetic exchanges between lovers, and I broke the lines with the last seven on the "caller" side and the first five on the "response" side to emphasize that they were halves of each other.
