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!

There are rules on the outside. When you’re on the outside and you see someone you knew on the inside, common practice states that mum’s the fucking word. You don’t know each other, you never met. That shit is over, like it never happened.
Even if you were cellmates.
Even if you nearly bit clean through your lip every other night while he held your wrists tight behind your back and you didn’t struggle because you didn’t mind.
You don’t say hey, ‘how’s it goin?’ You don’t wave, or smile and nod, you don’t fucking make eye contact. Because that shit is over, never happened.
And if you happen to be minding your own goddamn business in the cereal aisle, trying to decide between Lucky Charms and Cap’n Crunch (which still takes forever after years because the fact that you have a choice still boggles your mind) and you see a familiar pair of horns coming down the aisle? You definitely don’t invite them out for drinks.
It’s just against the rules.
But you weren’t much one for rules anyway. Or maybe you’re just a fucking idiot.

“D’you wanna know....what th’ twist was?” he slurs after his fifth cranberry and vodka. You’re still nursing a tequila sunrise, and you look up.
“Th’ whole time I was....y’know....human male bonin’ you?”
You nod as if to confirm that yes, that is the accepted term for sex.
“All macho and rough like I was s’posed to do in there....” You watch him swallow thickly before he continues, “I really jus’ wanted t’ like. Hold your elegant as fuck hand and caress your precious damn face.”
You take your drink stirrer on a tour around the glass a few times, processing this.
It’s over. It never happened.
It’s two years behind you, though it might as well be a million because it’s a time that doesn’t fucking exist. Bad shit happens when you get inside business mixed up with outside business.
You cease to think about all those helpful little tips for former convicted felons reentering society as your eyes fall on his hand laying palm down on the table.
Your stirrer clinks against the side of your glass as you let go to reach across the void between you.
He bites his lips, his eyes watery with intoxication and maybe something else as you cover his grey hand with your pale one.
