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

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.

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.

The court today, Yukie thought, was different. It was strange because she'd been in this stadium countless times before, to every match they had in every tournament for the past three years. But she guessed the situation today was a bit different, which made the atmosphere also felt... different. The court looked larger than it should be, the net taller, the audience farther.

She relaxed her shoulders, calming herself. It wasn't like her to be nervous before a match — well, that wasn't really true because she always worried whether or not Bokuto would perform well that day, but today was another kind of nervous. She couldn't quite place it, but— ah. Maybe the fact that this was the first time they'd reached the final in the Nationals. Maybe the fact that this was the closest they'd been to being the champion. Maybe the fact that, winning or losing, this would be the last match they'd have with this team, with these members.

The people around her weren't particularly different today. Komi and Konoha were talking and messing around while warming up, sometimes checking out the girls in the audience seat, and Sarukui had to smile every time they did so. Washio was beside Onaga, sitting down and drinking his bottle while looking and occasionally speaking to the younger. Onaga was perhaps the only one who looked very obviously on the edge. Yukie couldn't blame him, a regular starting member as a first-year and playing in the final match in a team dominated by third-years. Knowing the junior, Yukie could probably guess what he was thinking, how much pressure he was feeling right now. She was glad Washio was seemed to be able to make him relax a bit, and she smiled with a small sigh of relief.

Now, to the most troublesome member of this team... Yukie didn't even have to look for him, even when Bokuto was quiet and outside of the peripheral of her eyes, she could still see him, and she knew it wasn't just her that felt this way. That was how much presence Bokuto had, even when standing still and silent he was always, always the most striking, noticeable person in the room.

This one particular court was Bokuto's favorite, the one dead center in the middle of the stadium. Just thinking of it made her smile to herself, remembering the first time they got the court and Bokuto had been on top of his game that day. That guy really got all his mood and energy from the attention of people around him, it was amazing.

Akaashi was standing not too far away from Bokuto, face rather serious as he observed the senior closely, and as soon as Yukie saw it, she understood. The last time she saw this face was when they had a match against Nekoma, one of their biggest rivals, and seeing that now they were gonna go against a team that defeated them, of course Bokuto would be like this— focused, excited, enthralled. She was ready to ask Akaashi if he needed some assistance to motivate Bokuto today, but it was the day of the final today, she should have known it was unnecessary.

"What should I do?"

All members of the team turned their heads as their captain suddenly said that, blinking in either confusion or curiosity, or both. Konoha looked like he wanted to say something along the lines of 'What is it this time?' but seemed to realize that Bokuto wasn't going to joke around, that he wasn't going to suddenly ask 'why is the sea blue' or 'who invented math'. It wasn't only him who noticed, everyone around Bokuto could see that, and the light yet nervous atmosphere was quick to tense.

"What should I do?"

His voice seemed heavier somewhat when he repeated, his golden eyes glistening against the bright lights above them. Kaori almost didn't realize the ball previously in her hands had slipped and bounced on the floor, the sound of the impact muting the audience talks and murmurs around them.

"I feel like— I feel like we can't lose today."

Yukie knew the chill running up her spines wasn't something exclusive to her. Their side of the court fell completely silent, the intensity heaving on their shoulders was enough to make their opposing team turn their heads, feeling it too.

"Then—" Konoha said after one, two, five seconds passed, breaking the silence with his grin. "Then let's win this."

The lips on everyone's face, too, turned into grins, one by one, the slight nervousness Yukie felt, that everyone felt was gone like it'd never existed. Komi was the first one to let out a chuckle and moved toward Bokuto, the others following, forming a circle without any prompt.

"Alright then! Let's do this! Let's win!"

"Alright!!"

The audience cheered together and it felt like the ground rumble beneath their feet. Yukie looked at the boys, then exchanged a look with Kaori, both clenching their fists and vowed to support them no matter what. They'd worked so hard, gone through so many hardships together, and she was there to see all of it firsthand. With these members, she knew they could do it.

With these members, she knew they would win.

This was wonderful! You did a great job of conveying the atmosphere, with all its tension and excitement. I really like Bokuto asking his team what he needs to do, and I love that you wrote this from Yukie's POV.

oh!! wow i love
