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
  1. 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.

  2. Look through the prompts and fill whichever you like!

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

  4. 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!

The Heir and the Dragon

John fastened his dark cloak around his neck and pulled up the oversize hood. It was the perfect sneaking attire in his opinion. Just ragged enough that no one would think he was the heir but not so ragged that people would harass him for being a beggar. He smiled to himself. This was going to be the best trip yet.

He quietly made his way through the halls of the palace, nimbly dodging the sight of the guards. He slipped out the kitchen door, through the orchards and gardens. It was dark and the galaxies swirled above his head. He eventually came to the stream that flowed down to the edge of Asgard, over the precipice and into the great void that surrounded Yggdrasil. Waiting for him on the edge was a long blue reptile. Her scales were a radiant shade of cerulean and she had eight spindly legs. She tapped her front right one on a stone next to the river in impatience.

"Vriska!" John whispered excitedly as he approached. She lifted her head and grinned.

"Hey there," Vriska said, rising up on her legs and stretching her wings. "Ready to fly this coop?"

"Always!" John replied. "You know where we're going right?"

"Joooooooohn! how could you doubt me like that, I've got all the inside intel about transversing the realms. All of it."

"Yeah, sure. Guess what? I learned a new spell do you're not going to have to carry me everywhere anymore?"

Vriska looked skeptical, but John just mashed his face up in concentration as he summoned the winds. They wrapped around him, lifting him into the air.

"Tada!"

"Eh, not as good as wings but it'll do," Vriska said.

Together they stepped out into the void. Vriska spread her iridescent wings and soared as John struggled to keep up. He was a fast learner, but even a master magician would have trouble keeping up with a dragon. Vriska turned her head back at him and showed her teeth.

"Trouble?" she teased.

"Not at all!" John redoubled his efforts, shooting pass Vriska with a gush. Then the race was one. They followed the river that flowed down Yggdrasil's branches, the swampy unpleasant way that few people ever took. With Bifrost available there was no reason too, unless you were doing something sneaky, like running away from home.

There was a way station on the outskirts of Vanaheimr from which they would be able to catch a ship out into the stars. When they were a half league from it or so they landed and Vriska changed. She pulled in her legs and wings, shrinking and shifting until a roughly human girl stood in front of him. The only sign of her inhuman nature was in her eyes, she was never able to get rid of the fractured insect pupil in her left eye.

"Can all Alternians do that?" John asked.

"You're just going to have to come and find out."

Thank you! I assume next they get dwarves to make them magic hammers and use those to knock the heads of giants. As one does when they are Norse.
