Bonus Round 2: Quotes

 

Bonus Round 2: Quotes

Sometimes you just have to keep with tradition! Keeping with the SASO roots that SportsFest was born from, Bonus Round 2 is all about quotes.


This bonus round will close on July 13th, 2018 11:59PM PT. [COUNTDOWN]

 

This Round is CLOSED, but is perpetually open for new FILLS.

 

Rules

The Rule of Thumb for this round is prominence - did a published author or poet write this line you’d like to quote? Great. Is it from a speech or a historical document? Cool. Did your friend say something funny on twitter the other day? Not so much.


Please DO NOT prompt screenshots of private conversations, Discord convos, or conversations between you and your friends. This can easily and unintentionally bring the prompts into inside joke territory, and can create an exclusionary environment.


Quotes from other SportsFest participants (or yourself) are NOT allowed in this round (for similar reasons to above, and the fact that you could just make anything a quote).


Please give credit to the original speaker of your quote whenever possible.


If prompting with a screenshot, it is polite to post a transcription of the text below the image for accessibility.


Please use your best judgement, and if you’re unsure if something qualifies - ask! The mods are here to help.

And to reiterate, Your prompt MUST include one or more specific nominated fandoms. Please do not prompt "Fandom: Any".


A Few Examples:


“Today is far from Childhood -
But up and down the hills
I held her hand the tighter -        
Which shortened all the miles-
- Emily Dickinson, ‘One Sister Have I In Our House’


“Til this moment I never knew myself”
- Elizabeth Bennett, Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice


“SHE DOESN’T EVEN GO HERE!
- Damian, Mean Girls


“It's a quarter past midnight

As we cut through the city”
- Quarter Past Midnight, Bastille

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. Nickname or Official Name 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)

  • 14 lines (poetry)


There is no max work cap.

Format

FILL: [Your Team], [Rating]

 

  • Replace [Your Team] with the name of the team you belong to. Nickname or Official Name 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.


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.


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.

FILL: Team Sowlmates, T

[personal profile] littlerain 2018-07-11 12:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Ship/Character: Kuroo/Oikawa & Sugawara
Fandom: Haikyuu
Major Tags: None
Other Tags: Psycho Pass AU, not on mission, office life, smoking
Word Count: 777
Remix Permission: Yes ! Please ask me before

It surprisingly didn't turn out dark and angsty
It happens long before my first PP au fill (approximately when Ennoshita just joined the bureau)

***


73.
Because they were both hard workers, Tetsuro thought he understood Oikawa better than anyone.

- I'll be very direct. If you comply now, I can settle this before things get out of hand.

- 'That's a fine idea.' Is that what you expected me to say ? he smirked, high and mighty.

Tetsuro’s face tightened. He was not willing to give up even an inch of his position. Time was counted as he could already hear his colleagues footsteps in the alley as stressful tics. The only way he could think of to make him surrender was through brute force. To be honest he was reticent to use it on his mate but greater stakes were involved.

- Has anyone see the last piece of my super limited autumn edition black chocolate topping chestnut cream and meringue puff ? asked Sugawara.


73.
Timer hit zero. Mission failed. All Sugawara could see while entering First Division’s quarters was Kuroo pushing Oikawa against a desk while trying to take back his said extra rare pastry he queued hours to buy. Sugawara cracked his infamous devilish sweet smile.

- May I ask you what you are doing ?

- Ouh ! Schuga-tchan ! babbled Oikawa, full mouth of meringue.

The innocently distorted sorries he muttered coudn’t reach his ears. Fortunately when Daichi stepped in, the tension dropped.

- You owe me at least 2 dinners Oikawa !

Sugawara immediately withdrew and let the culprit free with a piercing look of disapprovement. The dead corpse of this pastry was forgotten on the murder scene, Ennoshita’s newly acquired desk. Tetsuro sighted, not only did he have to clean after him but his partner’s luckiness was three times higher than his crime coefficient.



70.
Lighting a cigarette on the terrace felt less intimate with the huge neon lights and ads popping in here and there within eyesight. Yet if he focused enough on his breath they would all vanish behind the dense smoke. Arms suddenly wrapping around his waist dispelled the whitish veil. Oikawa was shamelessly resting his head on this shoulder. If it weren’t fatigue and late night, he would have been scolded.

- I wanted to kiss you but didn’t expected that you would stink smoke Tetsu-chan~

- You got what you deserved !

Sugawara stopped by the veranda when he saw the two lovebirds. Despite the smell Oikawa stayed clung to Kuroo. Fresh air break will wait. As he was enjoying this evening coffee indoors Koushi couldn’t help but to imagine what would happen next. The rest room’s strong light was brushing Oikawa’s back, allowing the two of them to stand at the boundary between work life and intimacy.


67.
Since the first hour of the morning Oikawa was screaming to everyone (that is to say the front desk employees, his colleagues, the lab and even the cleaners) several times each, how his hue was gradually getting clearer, tending towards “the most beautiful powder blue he ever saw” as he liked to say.

- Cut it out already ! We are all sick of you.

- Oh really ? Tet-su-chan~ ?

And he launched a surprise kiss on his cheek. Even million times of scolding could not stop him from being a bit too intimate at work. Behind the half embarrassed half annoyed smile Tetsuro gave, Oikawa caught a glimpse of the flames of punishment lying deep down his brown glare.


65.
When Tetsuro stepped into the laboratory no sight of Oikawa messing here and there like an annoying fly trying to get attention, only familiar blue screens way too bright for his half awaken eyes.

- Where’s that pain in the ass ?

- On mission, investigating on the Small Giant.

This case slipped between his hands after months of work leading to nothing but dead ends. Tetsuro let it be and took a seat on the couch. At least, the investigation was still on going and lead by a competent investigator. As Kuroo was most likely going to stay here until Kenma arrives, Koshi offered him a cup of tea newly bought. To be honest, Kuroo was quite lucky, and he knew it, being able to taste the most refined drinks and meals Koshi had in stock, he wouldn’t bother doing this for everyone at the bureau.

Koshi’s burning desire of asking personal questions, as they were alone, couldn’t be hold any longer. In a blink he finished his report to sit in front of Kuroo, staring at him with an overly curious look.

- Don’t you think… you’re crossing a line ? sceptically asked the concerned.

- No no no ! Come on, it has been a looong time since we got to talk one on one !

Tetsuro sighted. In the end, Sugawara was also a pain in the ass of his kind.
