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<3ROSE<3TEREZI
"The nearest town is two day's walk from here," Rose said, handing her pack off to Eridan and sitting down on a tree stump. He could have carried them both over one shoulder, easily, but she liked to preserve some modicum of physical self-sufficiency. He needed her power as much as she needed his strength, out here in the wilderness.
"You know that ain't what I care about."
She poured out a bit of water from the canteen into her cupped palm. His entire bearing fixed on it, the pots affixed to his pack rattling against one another. "One day. A river, in the other direction," she said, shutting her eyes and gritting her teeth against the twinge of backlash. "You can survive out of the water for a great deal longer than I can survive without food."
It was a great deal more than a twinge; the water slipped through her fingers and onto the grass, and her vision went hazy around the edges with the force of the magical recoil. She choked on the air, and knew that he was making mental comparisons to a fish plucked from the water. That, more than anything, kept her from fainting.
"Right, no more magic 'til town, princess," Eridan said, and held his hand out to help her stand. She swayed on her feet and reached for her pack, but he pivoted away from her so quickly that she strumbled and fell against him.
She allowed herself to lean on his arm--just for a mile, until she could stand on her own. "There are no more kingdoms," said Rose.
"An' we ain't royalty anymore, an' so what?" he said. "Can you walk?"
"Yes." She took a step. Another. Eridan moved with her, and she knew him too well--by now, she knew him--to think he wasn't annoyed. At least he knew to keep his mouth shut, lest she turn him into a tadpole and keep him in the water jug until he was contrite.
Neither of them were rotting away in a ditch beside a revolutionary encampment, or floating face down in the water while fish nibbled at their innards and their corpses swelled under the sun, and that was all that mattered. "We'll sleep like empresses, two nights out," he said.
"We'll have to find someone to rob to pay for it."
"Or we can just con 'em."
Rose rested her head on his shoulder. "Then you're on point, your dubious majesty."
"Your wish is my command, your shabby highness," Eridan said, and she leaned on him for a great deal more than a mile, and did not mind very much at all.
