BONUS ROUND 2

Bonus Round 2


The Return of Round Robin Fanadventures


Comments have been screened; we will be tallying the points over the next 48 hours or so, after which we will unscreen the comments. Comments have been unscreened! You may continue the fanadventures on this post as long as you like, though we will not be awarding further points.



Hi shippers! Welcome to Bonus Round 2.
Round Robin Fanadventures generated so much awesome stuff last year that we decided to bring it back!

For those who are new to HSO, this is not actually that complicated a concept, but it might be a little tricky to explain, so bear with me. The point of this round is to create a bunch of fanadventures that are for a team other than your own.

Rules
  1. If you are starting a new adventure: start a new thread using the title format defined below. Include either text or 1-2 pieces of embedded art setting a scene (or both!), and finish with a command (==> does not count as a command for new threads). Then sit back and wait for someone else to contribute!
  2. If you are continuing an adventure: find a thread that does not center around your team's ship. Then comment using the title format defined below. Include either text or 1-2 pieces of embedded art continuing the scene (or both!), and finish with a command (this can include ==>, though generally we would prefer otherwise). Then sit back and wait for someone else to contribute!
  3. For ease of reading, we suggest using standardized image sizes. 600x400 landscape is a pretty good size! But as long as it's the same as the other images in the thread, people will have an easier time following along. The HTML for inserting images is <img src="http://yourimageurlhere.com">
  4. For this challenge, there is no minimum wordcount. We are trusting you not to abuse that fact!
  5. You may not comment twice in a row in one adventure. The point is to hand off the scene like a hot potato.
  6. You may not introduce or create for your team's ship into a fanadventure. If someone else introduces your team's ship to a thread, you can still contribute to that thread so long as your contributions do not involve your ship.
  7. This challenge will run until 11:59PM EDT July 7. After that time, even if it's just by a minute according to the LJ timestamp, no submissions will be accepted for points.


NOTES:
  • Audio posts are fine, so long as you include a transcript.
  • Please make sure to check that your titles are correct!
  • You may answer commands that have already been answered. Think of it like a 'choose your own adventure' game!


Title Format
If you are starting a new thread, use this format in your title.

Replace [THEIR SHIP] with the ship you want this particular fanadventure thread to be. Remember that you cannot create a fanadventure based on your own ship. Whatever ship you choose must be represented by a HSO team not your own. The only exception is gen adventures, which are permitted.
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 it may not be counted.

If you are continuing a thread, use this format in your title.

Replace [COMMAND] with whatever command the previous fill has specified.
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 title is not in this format it may not 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
(as stated here)
First 5 entries per team: 30 (per entry)
Entries 6-10: 20 (per entry)
Entries 11-15: 10 (per entry)
Entries 16+: 5 (per entry)

All fanadventure content must be created new for this round.

We would prefer that any questions about this challenge or anything else in the HSO be emailed to us at homestuck.shipping AT gmail!

New Jake<3Vriska Game (FILL: TEAM JOHN<3VRISKA)

[personal profile] thelphenom 2012-06-25 07:46 pm (UTC)(link)


Your name is JAKE ENGLISH and you have pillaged, plundered, and pilfered the shit out of these ANCIENT RUINS. The only thing standing in your way of the last horde of treasure and TOTAL VICTORY is the final guard, alternatively called the FINAL BOSS.

==> Jake: Take a gander at your final boss.


Hubba hubba.

This boss fight might turn out to be a little more than you bargained for.

==> Vriska: Acknowledge the new challenger.

Ha! You call that a challenger? Looks like easy prey to you.

But whatever. Guess it doesn't hurt to say hi.

[Show Dialoguelog]

VRISKA: Hey loser!!!!!!!!
VRISKA: So good jo8 on making your way through these ancient ruins. I mean, I guess you're not so pathetic if you made it all the way up here. Some people 8arely got past the first few levels! Talk a8out lame.
VRISKA: 8ut you're still not going to make it past me!
VRISKA: 8ecause I am simply the 8est 8oss there is.
VRISKA: So you should pro8a8ly just turn 8ack now.
VRISKA: You know. If you want to live.

Man, this kid looks even lamer than you thought. He's not even saying anything! Just staring at you with this dumb flabbergasted look on his face. Ugh, why do you always have to deal with such idiots? Is no one capable of being badass without your help?

It's such a good thing the world has you to make everyone better. You shudder to think of how much worse off everyone would be without you. Take this treasure, for instance. Think of all the adventurers who would never have climbed their echeladders if they didn't have the goal of making it through these ruins to get it!

Sure, they're all dead now. But at least they got to be awesome instead of lame before they died!

Is that kid still staring at you?

==> Jake: Recover senses.

You shake your head face flushing. Damn your attraction to cerulean women! This is completely not in your favour.

You haven't been paying attention to a word she said to busy staring at ... other things to do so. But from the amused smirk and the malicious glint in her eyes you can tell shes itching for a good for a good gift and boy do you plan on bringing one.

Attractiveness aside you need to get this battle started! But... sigh so beautiful.
Umm... perhaps you should just attack?

==> Jake: Blindly attack foe!

>Jake: Blindly attack foe! (FILL: TEAM PARCELPYXIS)

[personal profile] runespoor 2012-06-26 12:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, this a sound, simple, solid plan! Blindly attacking always works.

You hurl yourself at your beautiful opponent with an epic cry. You have vanquished dragons, defeated volcanoes, and fought death to a stand still! Not even she will stand in your way.

If you weren’t utterly focused on the action-movie reflexes of barrelling through the distance between you and swinging your pistols, it might occur to you to wonder why she doesn’t draw out a weapon, and instead sits there and grins like the evil queen before the brave heroes throw her down her throne.

But let’s not count on it, you’re not the brightest bulb in the box.

You are however a real-life action hero dashing toward your goal, and your keen senses zoom in to the glittering handful of many-faceted objects she takes out from a pocket.

Dice?

No, that’d be silly.

>Vriska: Counterattack

Vriska: Counterattack (FILL: TEAM ROSE<3SOLLUX)

You swiftly step into action, by which you mean you kick your badass mind powers into overdrive and keep this shoddy excuse for an adventurer hanging in front of you.

The kid keeps squirming around, throwing his fists at you like it even matters. It's kind of funny, and you think it'd be a little cute if, you know, the entire point of you being here wasn't to cull him.

But that doesn't mean you're not allowed to have a little fun in the meantime.

Vriska: Have a little fun.
