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 GAMZEE <3< TEREZI
It was a restday eve when we drew wind,
A full perigee since we'd last seen land,
And Captain Nitram spied a sly mer-troll
Of painted face and sharp-clawed hands.
Luck be good, or luck be bad:
There was yet no way for us to tell
If capricious Capricon
Were our savior or escort to Hell.
Oh the ocean waves do roll
And the stormy winds do blow
And we poor sailors are skipping at the top
While the landglubbers lie down below, below, below
While the landglubbers lie down below
Up spoke the captain of our dread ship,
Though a soft-spoken troll was he,
"Trim the sails and come about -
Let's tame this beast of the sea."
Fickle mer-troll surprised us all
When he swam straight to our bow.
With a great arc he leaped from the sea
And landed upon the prow.
Oh the ocean waves do roll
And the stormy winds do blow
And we poor sailors are skipping at the top
While the landglubbers lie down below, below, below
While the landglubbers lie down below
Gills flared wide and claws brought to bear,
The beast drew a ragged breath
As storm clouds gathered around our ship,
A herald of certain death.
With a shout the crew ran forth
And with swords the mer-troll engaged,
But it wasn't until Nitram shackled his wrist
That the mer-troll calmed from rage.
Oh the ocean waves do roll
And the stormy winds do blow
And we poor sailors are skipping at the top
While the landglubbers lie down below, below, below
While the landglubbers lie down below
It's been sweeps since that fated day,
And Nitram's ship sails swift and true.
His enemies tremble, afraid for their souls,
For what his mer-troll will do.
Luck be good, or luck be bad;
For us it turned out well.
Yet those unlucky enough to cross his mer-troll
Are fated for the watery Hell.
Oh the ocean waves do roll
And the stormy winds do blow
And we poor sailors are skipping at the top
While the landglubbers lie down below, below, below
While the landglubbers lie down below
Text is based off of the sea shanty "The Mermaid", with the refrain taken almost verbatim while the rest is rewritten entirely.
