Bonus Round 1

Genre-Mixing

Hey, shippers! Welcome to your very first bonus round proper--we hope you have lots of fun with it! This time around we're going to be asking you to mix it up a little--each fanwork posted for this round will be a mish-mash of two different genres, blended together in a delightful incestuous slurry to create an UNSTOPPABLE CREATIVE CONCOCTION--er. Or. Something.

Yeah, we're genre-mixing. That's what we're doing this round.

Rules

Submit prompts! Prompts should consist of two different genres and one ship. This cannot be your team's ship! These are worth 5 points each, for a maximum of 100 points per team.

Look through the prompts and fill whichever you like!

You may not fill prompts for your ship, nor may you fill your own team's prompts.

Fills should be posted as replies to the prompts which they are for, following the format below. They may be any medium.

Title Format
If you are starting a new thread, please use this format in your title.

Replace [YOUR SHIP] with the name of the team YOU belong to; please use the characters and quadrant, not whatever portmanteau or nickname you've come up with.
If your team name is not in this format and in the title we cannot guarantee that it will be counted.

If you are filling a prompt, use this format in your title.

Replace [YOUR SHIP] with the name of the team YOU belong to; please use the characters and quadrant, not whatever portmanteau or nickname you've come up with.
If your team name is not in this format and in the title we cannot guarantee that it will be counted.

Posts not using this format in the title will be understood to be unofficial discussion posts, no matter what they contain. They, like all comments on the comm, are subject to the Wank Policy.

Scoring
For prompt posts: 5 points each (maximum of 100 per team)

For fills (as stated here):
First 5 entries in each post: 30 (per entry)
Entries 6-10 in each post: 20 (per entry)
Entries 11-15 in each post: 10 (per entry)
Entries 16+ in each post: 5 (per entry)

All scored content must be created/assembled new for this round.

If you have any questions, please ask them at the FAQ post here, or email them to us (homestuck.shipping at gmail). Otherwise, we cannot guarantee that we will see them in a timely fashion!

Jade<3Kanaya: Zookeepers & family fic.

Aranea/Meenah (any quadrant), 20 Facts About... Fic + High School AU.

(okay looking back at this prompt now, I don't know if it's exactly what you were looking for D: hopefully this satisfies)

Twenty Things You Learn Your Junior Year:

1. People who hated you last year will still hate you.

2. They will still push you into lockers, they mainly being Meenah Peixes, and whatever guppies she can scare into doing what she says.

3. Meenah, when cornered, is much smaller than she looks when your positions are reversed. You tower over her. The whole affect of her – hard punk princess with not as much a chip as a city block on her shoulder – is reduced. Her makeup is less harsh. You notice one of her nose rings has a tiny gemstone set in it, fuchsia-pink and sharp.

4. You learn that she gets nervous.

5. You learn that she uses watermelon chapstick. You learn how to taste it on your lips.

6. Meenah’s house is huge, even for your neighborhood. She invites you over, ostensibly to do homework, but that’s a ruse, naturally.

7. Her sheets are very soft.

8. When you tickle her behind her right ear, and in the crook of her left arm, she yelps and bites and laughs so hard she chokes.

9. She’s got impeccable grammar, if she needs it. Her fish puns are mere ornaments.

10. Fish puns are glubbing contagious.

11. People are going to give you weird looks when you walk around the halls holding hands, and not just cause you’re girls, but because you’re Meenah and Aranea, and this is outside the normal acceptable parameters of Reality As We Know It.

12. You learn that you really don’t give a fuck.

13. It’s insanely simple, cheating off of Meenah in math class.

14. She thinks it’s hot, when you cheat off of her.

15. This leads to a rather embarrassing moment, when you learn that janitor’s closets are not, like every fictional media had led you to believe, rarely utilized for anything other than making out.

16. You learn that detention is a lot more fun that it should be, when Meenah’s there.

17. It's easy to sneak out of the school, when the teacher's back is turned.

18. It's even easier to break into her (silent, endless) house.

19. Meenah's bra is, like everything else about her, loud and abrasive. Polka dotted, too. A bright terrible green.

20. You learn that when she whispers your name it sounds like a curse.

Kanaya<3<Gamzee: Steampunk and spy

Here you go: Gamzee is a spy and Kanaya has a steampunk outfit.

Kanaya<3Dirk: soap opera and fashion

Edited 2012-06-14 07:09 (UTC)

Against all expectations, the first show goes off without a hitch. Who knew the press would find so much to praise in a fledgling collection modeled entirely by robots? Of course, no one suspects any romantic tension between you, the Ambiguously Gay Duo Who Are Not Gay For Each Other Besides That Would Technically Be Heterosexual Please Go Away.

The same can’t be said for the second show. Or the third, though all bets are off when Vriska’s rapper ex-baby-daddy and Jake’s thrice-deceased-but-reanimated grandmother sit down at the table. Though you doubt anyone could have predicted the tsunami, or the triumphant return of your evil art school principal/father figure.

When Dirk kisses you, it is actually not terrible, unlike everything else in both your lives.
