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 Is it from a speech or a historical document?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.

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.

Tooru curses under her breath as the ball slams into the ground just short of the bottle, bouncing up and hitting the wall.
“Almost there,” she mumbles, glancing up at the clock. It’s just barely past seven, and practice ended at four. She’s only been there for three hours, so she’s got a bit more time before she has to be home.
She jogs across the gym to retrieve the balls scattered around, tossing each into the basket over to the side. She’ll empty the basket once more, she decides, and then she’ll head home for the night.
She’s got a ball in her hands, and she’s about to toss it up when a familiar voice interrupts her.
“I knew I’d find you here, Tooru,” Takahiro drawls lazily, a sad smile on their face.
“Taka!” she exclaims, sheepishly rubbing the back of her head. “What are you doing here? Weren’t you going out for dinner with Mattsun and Iwa-chan?”
“You know, I was gonna,” Takahiro tells, “but then I realized that I can’t remember the last time you came out with us.”
“I went out with you guys, like, last week!” she insists, but she knows she’s lying. She hopes Takahiro won’t notice, or won’t remember—
“Don’t bullshit me, Tooru.” Takahiro crosses their arms, and Tooru winces guiltily. “I’m the non-gender-specific ruler of bullshit, so I know a lie when I hear one.”
“I’ve been busy,” Tooru sighs, rolling the ball between her palms. “I’ve got to improve my serve before the Spring High, or we won’t beat stupid Ushiwaka!”
“Tooru, if Iwaizumi would have heard that, he would have kicked your ass,” Takahiro tells bluntly, “You’re not the only one on the court, you perfectionist hoe.”
“Don’t call me a hoe!” Tooru squawks, feigning offense. “I can’t believe you’d be this mean to your precious, sweet girlfriend who loves you very much.”
“I have a sweet girlfriend? Where?!” Takahiro demands, looking around and squinting dramatically. “I only see you!”
“Mean, Makki,” she whines, “You’re turning into grumpy old Iwa-chan!”
“Perish the thought!” they exclaim, holding a hand to their heart.
Tooru giggles, and tosses the ball gently back into the basket. “Where is old Iwa-chan, then?”
“He’s with Mattsun, ordering our ramen,” Takahiro smiles, extending a hand. “Come on, we better get over there fast, or it’ll get cold.”
“Why is Iwa-chan ordering for me?” she complains. taking their hand and allowing herself to be led out of the gym. “He’s got old man tastebuds.”
“Don’t worry,” Takahiro chuckles, “I left Mattsun with your order. You still like that sweet shit, right?”
Tooru pauses, thinking. “Probably. It’s been a while since I’ve eaten ramen.”
Takahiro groans. “I swear, if I find a pile of milk bread wrappers in your bedroom tonight, I’m gonna tell Iwa.”
“You wouldn’t dare!” she gasps.
“I would.”
“Mean, Taka!! My partner is so mean!!”
“Maybe, but you love me anyways.”
She smiles fondly. “Yeah, I do. I love you, Takahiro.”
“Love you too, Hanger-chan.”
