Bonus Round 1: Time & Place
Who, when, and where? Send your favorite sports animanga characters to any time and place you want—but the filler decides what they do there.
This bonus round will close on June 29th, 2018 at 11:59PM PT. (Countdown Timer)
This Round is CLOSED, but is perpetually open to new Fills.
Rules
Submit prompts by commenting to this post with a time and place, along with any character/ship/group/etc. from one of our nominated fandoms. Your prompt can include characters from any animanga title regardless of your team affiliation.
- Please format your prompt like so:
TIME: [Time]
PLACE: [Place] - The place can be any real or fictional location.
- The time can be as specific or vague as you want.
- Your prompt MUST include one or more specific nominated fandoms. Please do not prompt “Fandom: Any”.
- If your prompt includes a relationship, make sure to use the proper notation. Platonic relationships are indicated by an "&" between the names (e.g., Natsuo & Yuzuko). Non-platonic relationships use "/" (e.g., Natsuo/Yuzuko). Feel free to add additional clarifications as needed.
Here are a few examples to get your creative juices flowing:

If Prompting

NSFW Prompts
EXPLICITLY NSFW PROMPTS must be posted to the After-Hours comm. To join, click here.
After joining, you will be able to access the AfterHours BR1 post.
“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.
If Filling

NSFW Fills
All NSFW fills MUST be posted in the corresponding Bonus Round post in the After Hours community. To join, click here.
After joining, you will be able to access the AfterHours BR1 post.
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.
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
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). We’ll also have a prompt/fill database up and running soon that will help you filter through BR posts.
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 questions, feel free to contact a mod.

I couldn't help myself.

Staring at the ceiling, Mihashi realized he couldn't sleep like this. At least at training camp when the whole team was sleeping in close quarters, he could just pick a corner to stick to and fade into a comfortable background amid the ruckus. Here in bed alone with Abe, he felt like every breath he took was too loud, every movement he made too disruptive. What if he snored? What if he kicked in his sleep? What if he kept him up all night and made them lose the game? Would everyone hate him? Would Abe hate him?
“Are you awake?”
Mihashi jumped at the question. He really must have been too loud if Abe wasn't asleep yet. Gulping, he nodded, not considering that non-verbal communication didn't really work when directed at someone's back. Nevertheless, Abe rolled over and sighed, joining him in his ceiling watch.
“Sorry...” Mihashi peeped.
“Huh?” Abe turned his head to look at him briefly before shaking it off like so many other unneeded apologies. After a moment, he spoke up again. “Do you think we can win?”
Now it was Mihashi's turn to look over questioningly. “With your signals I'm sure we can. I'll throw every one! Or.... I'll try...”
Abe looked at him again, eyes piercing in the low light. Mihashi squirmed. “It's not your pitching I'm worried about.”
“Oh...” Mihashi racked his brain for what else he could possibly mess up. “I- I've been practicing bunting!”
“What? No, that's not what I- It's not you.”
This was getting more confusing by the second. If it wasn't his pitching and it wasn't his batting and it wasn't him at all, then... “Are you nervous?”
Abe hesitated. Gulped, even, as his adam's apple gave away. “Yeah.”
Mihashi squirmed more under the open gaze focused on him. Abe was usually the one calming him down, not the other way around. What did you even say to nervous people? What always made him feel better when he was freaking out before a game?
“Oh!” Seizing upon inspiration, Mihashi thrust out his arm, smacking Abe square in the jaw.
“Ow! What the hell?!”
“Oops!”
“What are you doing?”
“Just-”
After a good deal of less than graceful rearranging of limbs, Mihashi finally seized Abe's hand, holding it proudly between them. Abe's brows furrowed in confusion.
“You're a good catcher!”
Abe blinked.
“Good catcher!” Mihashi repeated, squeezing his hand for emphasis.
It took a moment for realization to cross Abe's face. Then a smile. Then laughter. Then lots of laughter. Not entirely sure if this was a positive turn of events or not, Mihashi cautiously allowed himself to chuckle along.
Heavy breaths of waning snickers rushed over their hands clasped tight between them. Almost sighing in exhilaration, Abe looked at Mihashi, catching his gaze for a moment before speaking all too earnestly. “Thanks.”
Mihashi blinked, searching for any trace of sarcasm or derision but finding none. “...You're welcome.”
Laying like that, carelessly strewn across their single shared bed, fingers and legs intertwined, they began to drift.
Mihashi could definitely sleep like this.
