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 Is it from a speech or a historical document?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.

She’d heard about her before she met her, had heard how she was ‘a beauty’ before even knowing her name, and when she did hear that, she was a little pissed off, to tell the truth, at how the Tokyo teams seemed to be looking forwards to meeting the Karasuno manager with as much eagerness as their team.
“Nekoma’s ace says she smells of flowers.”
“Her hair shines like silk.”
“Shimizu Kiyoko …what a beautiful name.”
“Her eyes are like deep pools of water. So clear, so bright, so—”
“And her voice is … uh …” one of Shinzen’s first years scratched his head. “What did he say about her voice?”
Konoha flopped into the seat next to her. “Knowing Yamamoto, nothing. He faints as soon as he sees any female, let alone a pretty one.”
“Have you seen this paragon of beauty?” Yukie asked, trying not to sound sour.
“Nope.” He stretched out, resting his legs on the row in front of them. “Yakkun told Komi she was decent eye-candy.”
“Why aren’t you excited, then?” she said, assessing him. “You haven’t even combed your hair!”
“More interested in the team,” he replied. “Kuroo said they’re a pain-in-the-ass and Kozumu told Akaashi … well, as much as that pair actually talk … he said their Setter’s tricksy and there’s an interesting Wing Spiker.”
“So you’re only interested in the game, right?” she said, narrowing her eyes.
He nudged her. “What do I care when I’ve got my two favourite girls managing us?”
“Flattery will get you everywhere, Konoha-kun.”
“The last onigiri?”
“Maybe not everywhere.”
Half the Nekoma team wandered out of the gym to welcome Karasuno, so Yukie, now curious, sidled to watch out of the gym window.
They got off their coach, some still yawning and rubbing their eyes, looking around them with interest and maybe a little wariness. And then, scrabbling around for a bag, she saw the girl everyone had been freaking out over.
“Huh?”
She was, Yukie supposed, but they way they’d been talking, she’d expected a goddess. Still I should greet her. She looks kinda lost.
Reaching the steps of the gym, Yukie fixed her best ‘greetings’ smile on her face, and prepared to meet them all. She stifled a laugh at the dumbness of boys for being so intimidated by a girl who was clearly terrified of her shadow and those around her.
“Oh, where’d she go?”
“Who?” Suzumeda slipped up behind her.
“The Karasuno manager. I saw her get off the coach and thought I should introduce myself.”
“No idea, but Yamamoto seems to be freaking out over something,” Suzumeda replied.
“Maybe the dorm?”
“Want to come say hi with me?”
“I’ve got to refill the bottles, but I’ll see them at lunch, Shirofuku-san.”
She thought it was only polite to knock, even if it was her dorm too, and waited patiently outside until the door slid open. The manager appeared, even shorter close up, with her blonde hair slipping out of a hair bobble, and her face a little pink.
“Hi,” Yukie bowed to her. “Shirofuku Yukie. I’m Fukurodani’s manager. And you’re Shimizu Kiyoko, right? Karasuno’s manager.”
“Um… no … um …”
“No?”
“Assistant manager!” the girl babbled, then bowed really low. “Yachi Hitoka.”
“Yacchan, who is it?”
“Uh … uh …” She fumbled, twisting her hair between her fingers. “S-sorry what was your name again?”
“I’m Shirofuku,” Yukie said, raising her voice a touch. “Manager of—”
And then she appeared, a pair of glasses on the end of her nose, and tying up her hair in a ponytail. “Fukurodani, isn’t it?”
They’d not exaggerated. And Yukie felt a sudden kinship with Yamamoto, understanding exactly why he could barely speak in front of Shimizu-san. Her hair did shine like silk, there was a serenity about her, but also a hint of amusement in her seemingly docile eyes, and as Yachi held the door open, gesturing her into the dorm, Yukie swore she could smell flowers.

Re: FILL: Team Knife Emoji, G
This was fabulous! I loved it! You included Konoha and I love you for it, and Yukie refusing to give away the last onigiri is on Point !
I loved how she paused in front of Kiyoko's beauty, like so many others !! I enjoyed it so much I actually remixed in form of a podfic. I'm not very comfortable talking and it's not very good quality, but I did my best to do this wonderful piece justice! (remix entry can be found here)
Re: FILL: Team Knife Emoji, G
Glad you enjoyed it.
