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
- 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!
- 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!
- 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">
- For this challenge, there is no minimum wordcount. We are trusting you not to abuse that fact!
- You may not comment twice in a row in one adventure. The point is to hand off the scene like a hot potato.
- 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.
- 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!

This brings you to your interest of which you have absurdly plenty. There are, in fact, so many that you don't want to list them all. Here is a few of them: fish puns, aquatic animals, marine biology, causing trouble, dubstep, rap, rock n roll, fighting with people, and stabbing things with forks.
You wonder what will happen today.

Your school gets its share of new kids, but most of them are TOTAL SQUARES and don’t last long. You do your best to make them FEEL WELCOME, get them all the ins with every crowd, but after a while they start getting that hunted look in their eyes and one day they don’t come back.
You’ve complained to Rose about it, but she never lets up on them: I am only doing my part to insure our school remains a HAVEN for those of us who DON’T FIT IN the mainstream overbearing culture of today – the GIFTED, the REJECTS, and the reforming YOUTHFUL DELINQUENTS of the county. If they have no wish to respect us, surely they would be better suited running back to a place where they are the oppressing majority?
It’s true a number of the new arrivals take really well to your school.
Take Kanaya, for instance: when she arrived, she was a reserved troll who hid herself unhappily in the same shapeless black T-shirts as all trolls do, and now she’s blossomed into a reserved, sarcastic-as-all-get-out troll who single-handedly defined troll swag and carries a chainsaw in her sequined handpurse! If she ever goes back, they’ll judge her TOO SASSY TO EXIST in troll society, and she’ll probably CHAINSAW THEM IN HALF WITH A FLOURISH. She and Rose are the sarcastic reigning queen HBICs of your school.
You like to think it’s kind of THANKS TO YOU, because you took Kanaya under your wing for about two hours before you introduced Kanaya to your sister and they proceeded to ROMANCENARK the shit out of each other.
Sometimes it doesn’t go so well, but the point is, you can’t judge a book by its cover or a troll by their clothes! Calliope cosplays to school almost every day, and no-one gives her shit about it! It’s your DUTY and VOCATION to BEFRIEND every new person who gets here, and help them figure out where to fit.
And sometimes you can tell just by looking at someone that they’re going to FIT RIGHT IN.
This new girl?
Ttlu goin 2 b a DOOZY.
You plant yourself in front of her – gosh you love her style – and beam at her.

Well, then. You always liked a challenge! Like playing through Animals Crossing while inebriated, something you do at least once a month. You reach out to give your new aquaintance a FRIENDLY BUTTPAT, but she blocks your hand with a mean right hook. Luckily you are a pretty skilled fighter! You kick the new student in the shin and then trips her, causing her to fall on her cute rump, with you following shortly thereafter. You rearrange yourself so that you sit on her chest, holding her down by her wrists. She seems to have given up fighting for now. You can tell you are going to be great friends!
