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 Is it from a speech or a historical document?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)

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.

“Congratulations, officer,” Greets him through a vocal synthesizer as Semi opens the door. If he’s honest, he’s surprised he’s still alive, let alone still conscious.
They’ve been chasing this murderer for six months now, and something in his gut tells him they’ve only caught him because they want to be caught.
“It’s fine, you can come closer you know,” The synthetic voice continues, then there’s movement and the voice returns, much more human and recognizable, “After all, we’re friends right?”
Too recognizable.
Semi stares as Konoha Akinori lay upside down in an armchair, surrounded by blood. He knows he should be afraid, and maybe panicking slightly.
He most definitely shouldn’t be lowering his gun.
He’s both very aware and very unconcerned about the fact that his colleagues have yet to come through the door behind him.
The murderer- because that’s what he is, isn’t he? A murderer. The cute barista he’s been getting his coffee from and flirting with and going on dates with for the past six months - rights himself in the armchair, laying now so that his feet are dangling off the side of the arm rest,
“Won’t you come closer, Semi-san?” Comes that pretty lilt again, teasing and playful, and Semi swallows, throat suddenly very dry.
He could go for a coffee right now.
He takes one step forward, another, and stops.
Preferably something loaded with sugar, even though he knows it’s going to do nothing to help his dry throat.
Konoha moves again, sitting almost properly now, his legs folded delicately under him,
“That’s hardly what I’d call closer, Semi,” The pout in his voice is clear, and Semi wonders if that restaurant they went to last week would be open at this hour.
He’s kind of hungry right now.
He takes another step forward. Another. The sole of his shoe makes a wet sound against the carpet.
He’s really craving a nice steak.
Akinori stands now, his own shoes making wet sounds as he stands an arms length away,
“I said closer, Eita,” It’s a mere whisper now, playfulness gone, only tantalizing teasing left, promising more, more more.
Semi’s mind is blank, and yet full of craving for one thing. One person.
He takes the last step.
—
“There is still no sign of police officer Semi Eita who has been reported missing after a criminal chase gone wrong two nights ago, around 11PM, it is presumed he was kidnapped as only his gun was found at the scene of the cri-”
He turns off the TV, not caring for the news report, ignoring his lover’s indignant “Hey~ I was watching that,” and sits on the armchair with him, bringing a gloved hand up to cup a soft bloodstained cheek, smearing more dark red over soft skin in doing so,
“Would you not rather we do something more interesting, my love?” He asks. The manic light in blue eyes makes his heart race, knowing it’s reflected in his own,
“You’re right, these people had good taste, we should honor them and put this armchair to good use,”
Semi Eita no longer craves coffee, nor does he crave steak, he only craves the taste of crimson lips.
