BONUS ROUND 1
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!
FILL: TEAM DAVE<3TEREZI
The crowds and the commercials and the bookies all call them mechs, these twelve foot mechanical monsters, built just to beat the shit out of each other. You called them rock 'em sock 'em robots, once, but Dirk gave you a look and that's a mouthful, anyway, you don't care enough about the reference to choke on that many syllables. Most of them have names--the mechs people root for, the mechs people bet on. There are trading cards and t-shirts and you wouldn’t pay attention except this has been Dirk’s life for as long as you’ve known him. Sawtooth's moving up the circuit, nowadays, which is great because it means you can pay the bills this month, but it sucks because fame means more matches, and more matches means you can't remember the last time Dirk slept.
Worst part is you can't do anything about it. When Dirk's not taking care of mechs he's taking care of you, and you're too much of a fuck-up to return the favor. You can't get him to sleep, you can't take the weight he's piled up on his shoulders. So you do what you can, you force yourself out of bed at twelve-fifteen and slip into the workshop. You perch on a bench beside him and rifle through his tools to look for just the right wrench and you make stupid jokes, because you can't get him to sleep but you can get him to smile.
