Bonus Round 4: Caps
Bonus Round 4: Caps
Got a favorite scene from a manga, TV show, webcomic, movie, anime, etc.? Time to pull out your screencaps, manga caps, or comic caps to prompt something fun!
This bonus round will close on August 17th, 2018 11:59PM PT (23:59 PT). [COUNTDOWN]
This Round is CLOSED. It is perpetually open for new fills.
Rules
For this round, you may prompt any cap from any original video- or comic-based narrative. This includes anime, manga, cartoons, TV shows, movies, music videos, Western comics, webcomics, web series, and even documentaries. Narrative-related game screencaps are permitted. For example, you can post a cap of character dialogue, or a cap from a cutscene, but not a screenshot of a character wandering the in-game map or fighting a randomly-generated monster.
Upload the caps somewhere (such as Imgur, PostImage, or TinyPic) and post here with the images themselves or a link to them.
You may also use officially released art from qualifying sports animanga.
You can post up to three caps per prompt.
You are required to provide the name of your cap’s source media. For free online media like webcomics and webseries, we also encourage you to provide a link to the source material. If linking, please warn for content of the source, as applicable.
Please do not prompt caps from any fanworks. We want to respect fanworkers’ control over where their work is posted.
For video-based media, including subtitles in your cap is optional. That said, please do not include fake subtitles. (Please do not post GIFs)
We recommend linking to significant spoilers rather than directly posting them, as if you're posting a NSFW cap (replace the image code in the textarea with a link). However, this will not be enforced by the mod team and it is up to your discretion to decide what qualifies as a significant spoiler or not, considering that the caps are largely out of context.
Including descriptive text for caps is encouraged, but not required. If you do choose to include it, please include the text below the prompt image.
If you're not sure if a given media series cap qualifies, please feel free to ask!
General Rule Reminders
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.
All prompts must come from a nominated fandom.
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.
A Few Example Prompts:
Description: A young woman (our pink-haired protagonist) hits a man dressed in a chupacabra costume with her bag, while her friend looks on in shock.
Source: Sakura Quest

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)

Traditional art is also allowed with a good quality photo/scan
14 lines (poetry)

If you’d like to use a different medium, please contact the mods if you have any questions about minimum requirements.

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.
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).
If the images have been resized too small for you to view, right-click the image (or tap and hold) and select Open Image to view it at full size.
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.

She doesn’t know how they got here.
She doesn’t know what choices have led her here.
What she does know, however, is that there’s totally blood in her hair, dripping onto her shirt— the third one this week, she’ll have to go shopping soon— and there’s a knife in her hand, and she doesn’t regret a single thing.
“Were they alone?” Tadashi asks, fidgeting anxiously and glancing around. “They might have tripped an alarm…”
“You’re right,” Hitoka agrees, sliding the knife back into her boot. “We should get out of here.”
Tobio lets out a vague noise of complaint, staring at his nails. “Asshole chipped it. You’ll have to redo these later, Hitoka.”
“Later,” Hitoka promises, “Right now, we need to run.”
“Right,” Tobio agrees, stalking swiftly to his motorcycle and throwing a leg over it. Hitoka hops on next, wrapping her arms around his strong chest, and she feels Tadashi slide on behind her, his own arms looping around her waist.
“Ready?” Tobio asks, starting the engine.
“Always,” Hitoka murmurs, leaning into him.
And they run.
-
They don’t stop for hours, both Tadashi and Hitoka urging Tobio on with every passing patrol car, every wail of a siren, urging him to keep riding until they’re safe.
They don’t stop until they’re far outside of the city.
They don’t stop until everything still around them. The streetlight on the highway fizzle and spark, the stars are clear in the sky, and they haven’t seen anyone else for miles.
They stop at the side of the road, pulled off at random, and climb off the motorcycle. Hitoka immediately flops down on the ground, Tadashi right behind her and Tobio trailing a bit behind, his hand not leaving his gun.
“It’s okay, Tobio,” Tadashi reassures, “They’re not going to find us out here. Come on, lie with us.”
Tobio scowls slightly, but no one can say no to Tadashi, and Tobio lies down awkwardly, sandwiching Hitoka between the two. Tadashi nuzzles into her shoulder, and she looks up, gazing at stars and constellations and the peace of night.
“Where will we go?” Hitoka voices anxiously.
“We’ll go where we always go,” Tobio tells, his voice firm and blunt as always. “Wherever we need to.”
“Are we bad people?” Tadashi asks.
Hitoka smiles despite everything. “Absolutely. But so are they.”
“Life’s not fun if you can’t be bad sometimes,” Tobio adds.
“I guess…” Tadashi trails off. “I just miss the way things used to be. When we didn’t have to run.”
“I miss it, too,” Hitoka says, still staring at the sky. She reaches for both of their hands, lacing their fingers together loosely. “But this isn’t so bad either. We’re doing what we want to, and we’re together.”
“Yeah. Yeah, you’re right,” Tadashi admits softly. “Thanks, Hitoka.”
“Haven’t you learned by now?” Tobio asks, a rare hint of mischief in his voice. “Hitoka’s always right.”
They’re pulled from their musings by the distant sound of an engine, and Tadashi groans.
“Already?” he whines, “I wanted to wait and kill them tomorrow.”
“Unfortunate,” Tobio deadpans, climbing to his feet and helping both Hitoka and Tadashi up. “Looks like we’re gonna rack up a decent body count today.”
Tobio draws his gun, cold metal and reliable steel, and Hitoka trades her anxiety for the wicked confidence of her knife. Tadashi adopts a combat stance, and Hitoka’s glad that he didn’t unwrap his hands after the last fight.
Side by side, three murderers wait, preparing for their next fight.
They’re ready to play.
