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)

Warning: sadstuck, doomed timelines.

CURRENT carcinoGeneticist [CCG] RIGHT NOW opened memo on board ALSKDFASKJDHFLAKJSDHFLAKJSHDF.

CCG: I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS TO HAPPEN, BUT I STILL CAN’T BELIEVE MY OWN RAGING STUPIDITY.
CCG: I’VE BEEN FORCED TO TALK TO MYSELF FOR SO LONG THAT YOU’D THINK I’D KNOW MY OWN CAPACITY FOR PAN-MELTING INEPTITUDE BY NOW, BUT NO.
CCG: YOU WOULD BE WRONG.
CCG: I HAVE UNCOVERED FURTHER UNPLUMBED DEPTHS OF PURE BUGFUCK IDIOCY.
CCG: SO FUCK YOU, FUTURE SELF, FOR NOT TELLING ME THE TRULY HUMILIATING CIRCUMSTANCES THAT LED TO/ARE GOING TO LEAD TO MY OWN DEATH.
CCG: ALTHOUGH I GUESS I UNDERSTAND WHY YOU DIDN'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT.
PAST carcinoGeneticist [PCG] 1000 HOURS AGO responded to memo.
PCG: OKAY, I GIVE IN.
PCG: WHAT HAPPENED?
CCG: I DON’T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT.
PCG: I SAW THAT COMING.
PCG: ARE YOU REALLY DYING?
CCG: TO BE HONEST, I DON’T KNOW.
CCG: I WAS HOPING FUTURE ME WOULD SHOW UP TO TELL ME HOW THINGS TURN OUT.
CCG: IF I WERE FUTURE ME, WHICH I PLAN TO BE, THEN I WOULD COME BACK AND LET ME KNOW.
CCG: SO IF HE NEVER SHOWS UP, THAT MIGHT MEAN THAT I DON’T ACTUALLY MAKE IT.
PCG: YOU SHOULD KNOW IF HE SHOWS UP, BECAUSE YOU ALREADY HAD THIS CONVERSATION BACK WHEN YOU WERE ME.
CCG: YEAH.
PCG: HOW BAD ARE YOU HURT?
CCG: PRETTY BAD.
CCG: THERE’S KIND OF A LOT OF BLOOD.
CCG: AND I THINK MY LEG IS BROKEN.
CCG: I DON’T THINK I CAN DRAG MYSELF ALL THE WAY BACK TO THE ALCHEMITER TO MAKE SOME BANDAGES.
CCG: I’LL BLEED OUT BEFORE I GET THERE.
PCG: WELL I’M GLAD TO KNOW WHAT I’LL BE DOING 1000 HOURS FROM NOW.
PCG: I SHOULD MAKE SOME BANDAGES AND TAKE THEM WITH ME.
PCG: WHO CARES ABOUT DOOMED TIMELINES? I’M ALREADY IN ONE.
CCG: I HAD THAT SAME THOUGHT.
CCG: LET’S JUST SAY THAT IT DIDN’T WORK OUT AS PLANNED.
PCG: SO.
CCG: SO.
PCG: WHAT IF YOU TOLD ME WHERE YOU ARE? I COULD GO THERE NOW AND LEAVE YOU SOMETHING.
CCG: WOW.
CCG: I HAD HONESTLY FORGOTTEN THIS PART.
CCG: OKAY, LET’S DO THIS.
CCG: I’M AT THE BOTTOM OF THE STAIRS RIGHT OUTSIDE THE SECOND MAINTENANCE BLOCK.
PCG: YOU FELL DOWN THE STAIRS.
CCG: JUST SHUT UP.
PCG: TELL ME YOU DIDN’T ACTUALLY FALL DOWN THE STAIRS.
CCG: FALLING DOWN THE STAIRS WAS ACTUALLY THE LEAST STUPID PART OF THIS ENTIRE EPIC FUCKUP.
PCG: OKAY.
PCG: WHAT DO YOU NEED?
CCG: BANDAGES. WATER. FOOD. SOMETHING TO USE AS A SPLINT.
CCG: PAINKILLERS. LOTS OF PAINKILLERS.
CCG: I MIGHT BE HERE A WHILE.
PCG: BRB.
CCG: NO RUSH.
CCG: I REMEMBER WHERE I LEFT ALL THAT CRAP SO I’LL SEE IF I CAN DRAG MYSELF OVER TO IT RIGHT NOW.

PCG is idle!
CCG is idle!

PCG: OKAY, I’M BACK.
PCG: BUT YOU’RE NOT.
PCG: FUCK.
PCG: I’M REALLY NOT SURE WHAT TO THINK ABOUT THIS.
PCG: I MEAN, 1000 HOURS IS A LONG TIME TO SPEND BY YOURSELF.
PCG: FROM MY POINT OF VIEW, TEREZI DIED TWO WEEKS AGO, AND SHE WAS THE LAST OF EVERYONE TO GO.
PCG: TWO WEEKS LIVING ALONE ON THIS METEOR HAS BEEN TORTURE.
PCG: THE THOUGHT THAT I HAVE TO GO THROUGH ANOTHER PERIGEE IS JUST
PCG: I DON’T KNOW.
PCG: HONESTLY I DON’T KNOW WHETHER I’M HOPING YOU’LL SURVIVE THIS, OR THAT YOU WON’T.
CCG: I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN.
CCG: I THINK THE ONLY REASON I’M STILL GOING IS BECAUSE I DON’T KNOW HOW TO STOP.
CCG: THANKS FOR THE SUPPLIES, ANYWAY.
CCG: AT LEAST IF I’M GOING TO BLEED OUT, I’LL DO IT IN A PLEASANTLY DRUGGED HAZE.
PCG: HOW BAD IS IT? THE SOLITUDE, I MEAN.
CCG: YOU KNOW WHAT I MISS THE MOST?
CCG: THE SOUND OF OTHER PEOPLE.
CCG: I WOULDN’T EVEN NEED TO SEE THEM. IF I COULD JUST HEAR THE DISTANT SOUND OF OTHER PEOPLE LIVING ON THE METEOR, IT WOULD BE SO FUCKING BEAUTIFUL.
PCG: SHIT.
PCG: I JUST
PCG: LET’S CHANGE THE SUBJECT.
CCG: OKAY.
PCG: I DON’T KNOW IF I WANT TO KNOW WHETHER YOU SURVIVE OR NOT.
PCG: BOTH OPTIONS SOUND SO SUFFOCATING.
CCG: THEN CLOSE THE MEMO.
CCG: DON’T READ THE END.
CCG: I WON’T SPOIL IT FOR YOU.
PCG: BUT WHAT IF YOU DIE ALONE?
CCG: I DON’T THINK THERE’S ANY OTHER WAY TO DIE.
PCG: I’M SORRY.
CCG: DON’T BE.
CCG: IT HAS TO END SOME TIME.
PCG: I KNOW THIS IS REALLY STUPID, BUT I WISH I COULD BE THERE FOR YOU RIGHT NOW.
CCG: HEH.
CCG: YOU ARE.
PCG: YEAH BUT
PCG: YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.
CCG: IT’S TIME FOR YOU TO GO NOW.
CCG: CLOSE THIS MEMO AND DON’T LOOK BACK.
PCG: I
PCG: FINE.
PCG: BYE.
CCG: SEE YOU.

CCG banned PCG from responding to memo.

CCG: SO YEAH.
CCG: FUTURE ME.
CCG: IF YOU DO SURVIVE THIS, DO ME A FAVOR.
CCG: DON’T TELL ME.
CCG: I DON’T THINK I WANT TO KNOW.

CCG ceased responding to memo.

Ahh that was great! It must have been tough to write Karkat caring about himself for long enough to stop hating himself, but I guess when you're the only one left, it's the only thing to do.
