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!
New Rose<>Aranea Game (FILL TEAM:Roxy<3Autoresponder)
Bluh! This coffee tastes like shit.
Abandoning your undisputably aversive beverage, you spot your psychology class partner, Aranea Serket, about to ingress into the cafe. Expeditiously, you reapply your eye shadow to remove any noticeable blemishes and return it to your book bag.
ARANEA: Hello Rose, I take it you are doing quite well today.
ROSE: Quite. I managed to salvage several of the otherwise believed to be eternally lost texts from that exceedingly archaic library downtown.
ROSE: In particular, I have obtained replicas of journals by Jean Piaget, Erik Erikson, William James, and Sigmund Freud. These books should serve as a solid base of knowledge for our research.
ARANEA: That's all good and well Rose, 8ut did we actually pick a specific topic to research? A strong 8ase of knowledge is always necessary 8ut we're going to 8e going no where.
ARANEA: Really, when all is said and done, we'll still have made no progress towards achieving a high grade in the class.
ROSE: As insignificant as I tend to find academic scoring, you do have a point. Perhaps we should fashion a survey of sorts and spread it around the school.
ARANEA: A nice idea, I guess, 8ut people have a tendency to ignore or lie on surveys. Not to mention, I have dou8ts many of them even 8other to check their emails.
ROSE: This is so bothersome, can I not just retreat into a suitably tenebrous room and study the various literature there.
ARANEA: If I didn't know any 8etter, I'd say you just spend your time having flushed feelings for a dead man named Freud and su8sequently a 8oner 8ulge for him too.
ROSE: How very insightful and Freudian. Any other aspects of my psyche you wish to divine out of your pompous rear? Perhaps my wanton need to do my mother or brother?
ROSE: Or the infinitesimal relation between wizards that I write of, their varied and well described wands, and how utterly similar they are to boners and ejaculation.
ROSE: Are you suggesting penis envy?
ARANEA: Ignoring your rather reaching statements, Freudian theory is largely outdated anyway. There have been a number of psychologists that have 8uilt upon and corrected his work anyway.
ARANEA: Now, I would say your need to make everything go back to penises and sex is pro8a8ly indicative of nymphomania.
ROSE: Hilarious, Aranea.
ARANEA: Regardless, you've given me an idea. May8e we should psychoanalyze some of our friends. An in depth analysis of their minds might lead us to something worth writing a8out and presenting.
ARANEA: I'm sure they'll lead to something interesting considering the very........ varied cases among them. ::::D
ROSE: You want to do this even though publishing such documents would be considered illegal?
ARANEA: Yes. ::::D
A devious smirk creeps across your face as you retrieve your journal from your bag.
>Rose: Select first victim to psychoanalyze.
