Bonus Round 3: Superlatives
Bonus Round 3: Superlatives
For this round, get ready to dive back into those high school yearbooks. Who’s the cutest couple? Who has the prettiest smile? Who’s most likely to go pro? Be creative and have fun!
This bonus round will close on August 3rd, 2018 11:59PM PT (23:59 PT). [COUNTDOWN]
This Round is CLOSED. It is perpetually open for new fills.
Rules
In the context of this round, superlatives are “titles” or “awards” a character/s might win based on their personality, appearance, future, etc. Superlatives are common in American high school yearbooks.
Please use one of the following formats for your prompt:
[SUPERLATIVE]: [Winner (Character/s, Object, Places, etc.)]
or
[SUPERLATIVE]: Filler’s Pick
Including the character who earns the superlative is optional. You can pick it yourself or allow the filler to choose. That said, remember that your header must ALWAYS include AT LEAST one fandom in the “fandom” section. Prompts that write “any” in the fandom section will not be counted for points.
Please be sure to fill out all lines of the header (even with “None” or “N/A,” so we can count your prompts/fill for points.) If you leave a line blank we don’t know if it was intentional or a mistake, and cannot count it for points.
All prompts must come from a nominated fandom.
You’re welcome to be as classic or creative as you like with your superlatives. Both typical and atypical superlatives are great for this round!
Superlatives don’t need to just apply to people! We encourage you to be as creative as you want to be!
Still confused about what a superlative is? Hopefully these examples will help!
A Few Examples:
MOST LIKELY TO SURVIVE A ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE: Abe Takaya
BEST PRANKSTER/S: Bokuto Koutarou
WORST COUPLE TO THIRD WHEEL WITH: Viktor / Yuuri
MOST VALUABLE PLAYER (CHESS CLUB): Filler’s Pick
BEST SIDEKICK: Pocari Sweat
ULTIMATE ANIMAL COMPANION: Filler’s Pick
TOP 5 CELEBRITY SECRETS: Filler’s Pick
If Prompting
Please use the following subject line for prompt:
Prompt: [Your Team]
Replace [Your Team] with the name of the team you belong to. Nicknames or Official Names are both acceptable
Copy/Paste the following into the body of your comment. Delete all instructional text in parentheses.
NSFW Prompts
EXPLICITLY NSFW PROMPTS must be posted to the after-hours comm. “Explicitly NSFW” means that the prompt includes outright sexual content (whether in a photograph, drawing, or in words), and prompts that in the additional requests are asking for explicit fills. Prompts are posted with the same HTML format, in the same manner as a SFW prompt, just under the designated post for that Bonus Round in the after-hours comm. See ‘Filling’ for the procedures for NSFW Fills.
Once you have joined the Afterhours community, you can find the corresponding post HERE.
If Filling
Minimums
Required Work Minimums:
400 words (prose)
400px by 400px (art)
Traditional art is also allowed with a good quality photo/scan
14 lines (poetry)
Playlists - 5 song minimum with artists. Link to either a video playlist, or each song separately. Be sure to warn for content in the music videos, and you may find linking to lyrics helpful. You may also write an explanation of why you chose each song.
Moodboards - 9 photo min, source all photos, and no fanart allowed (unless it's your own)
If you’d like to use a different medium, please contact the mods if you have any questions about minimum requirements.
There is no max work cap.
Format
FILL: [Your Team], [Rating]
Replace [Your Team] with the name of the team you belong to. Nicknames and Official Names are both acceptable
Replace [Rating] with the rating of your fill (G-E).
Copy/Paste the following into the body of your comment. Delete all instructional text in parentheses.
NSFW Fills
All NSFW fills must be posted in the corresponding Bonus Round post in the After Hours community. If filling a prompt that has been posted on the after-hours comm, simply reply to that prompt. If filling a SFW prompt, let the prompter know by replying to the original prompt on the main comm with a link to your fill on the corresponding after-hours Bonus Round Post. Please do not use the Fill subject line or Fill header when cross-linking. This will cause the BR scorer to count your fill twice.
Once you have joined the Afterhours community, you can find the corresponding post HERE.
Scoring
The scoring for bonus rounds depends on the number of people (n) on your team. You’re welcome to make as many prompts and fills as you like!
For prompts: 5 points per prompt, limited to 5 times the number of team members (5n)
For fills, where (n) = number of members on you team:
First 5n fills: 20 points each
Fills 5n to 10n: 10 points each
Fills 10n to 15n: 5 points each
All fills after 15n: 2 points each
Confused? Don’t worry; math is hard. Check out the Bonus Round Point Widget to help you figure out the point scale for your team.
We’ve changed the expected workload for Bonus Round Fills! The new recommended workload is 12 fills per member for Gold, 8 fills per member for Silver, and 4 fills per member for Bronze. The scoring post has been updated to reflect this (and other changes made to scoring! We’ll be releasing a Halftime update post in the near future with all the changes made thanks to your feedback!)
All scored content must be created new for this round.
Additional Information
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).
Icie’s fantastic SportsFest Prompt/Fill database can also help you sort through prompts (and fills!)
If you’d like more information, you can look at the BR GUIDELINES.
You can also post your Fills to the Official AO3 Collection.
A Tip: We all want SportsFest to be a fun and safe environment. If you notice someone has made a mistake in their required tagging, or any other html or rules related aspect of their comment, do let them know, message them privately rather than replying - if you reply, they can’t edit the comment! If you aren’t comfortable letting the commenter know directly, contact a mod and we will make sure they update the required tags.
If you have any other concerns about Bonus Round Prompts/Fills, you can use this anonymous form to bring them to the mod team. You can submit Bonus Round concerns using this Google Form.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask a mod.

Jun’s toes tap the floor of the bus rapidly, drawing a grumpy look from an old lady that he ignores. He can’t help it, after all. It’s his usual Sunday volunteers at the children’s hospital, and he doesn’t want to be late. He’d left Seidou in plenty of time, but people suck and also don’t know how to drive, so traffic is backed up far more than a weekend day should be.
Finally, he arrives at the hospital and signs in at the front desk. The receptionist, who he hasn’t seen before, gives Jun a strange look when he states his task for the morning but doesn’t say anything. It’s for the best, as Jun probably would’ve said something snappish at that judging look he would no doubt get on the subject.
After all, there aren’t many teenage boys who spend his one free day of the week reading shoujo manga to little girls trapped in a long term care ward, but Jun is here to do exactly that. Anyone who has anything to say about it can eat his entire ass.
On the third floor, Jun seeks out the appropriate desk and checks in. “I’m here for my shift,” he says to the nurse at the station, Reiko. He briefly flashes his paper ID badge. “What room number?”
She grins at him and says, “Room 411, Isashiki-kun. Down the hall on the left.” With a little salute, she adds, “Welcome back.”
Jun arrives at his destination in short order, but when he walks in, he isn’t expecting the number of kids waiting for him to arrive this week. When he had started out, there were maybe five girls who came to listen to him read the newest chapter of Kimi Ni Todoke. That number did grow as the weeks wore on, but now there are at least twenty children huddled around a chair in the middle of the room, including a few boys, as well.
He really, really loves this job.
Settling in the chair, Jun does his regular roll call, making sure he knows the name of every attendee. More than half of them are regulars who he recalls from past visits, but he wants to remember all the new ones, as well.
Soon, twenty eager faces lean in silent and rapt as Jun fills them in on the latest travails of the hapless heroine. Each one of them wait for the book to close before little hands dart into the air to ask questions about the chapter. Jun answers them one by one — even the nervous boy who hesitantly asks what the series is actually about.
As he is wont to do, Jun lingers far longer than he intends, but he never regrets losing that extra study time to bring that look of awe and suspense as children who don’t have much to look forward to absorb something as minor as manga like it’s the only thing in the world.
Back at the school, he bumps into Chris on the way to lunch and nods in acknowledgement. Chris does the same and asks, “So how were the kids today?”
“Tiny badasses, as usual.” Jun bobs his chin in resolve. “You should try it sometime. The girls would really like you.”
“Maybe I will.” They enter the cafeteria, and Jun delves into his meal with the knowledge that there isn’t a damn thing in the universe manlier than doing nice stuff for little kids. No rebuttals accepted.
