BONUS ROUND 3
Bonus Round 3
Retro Gaming
Hi shippers! Welcome to Bonus Round 3.
In this round, you'll be creating fanworks based on video and computer games from before 2000!
Rules
- Choose a game that was released before 2000, and post a fanwork based on the game in some way. Make sure to use the appropriate title format (see below). Examples include: character inserts, rewritten dialogue, costume redesigns, alternate soundtracks, theme song covers, photoshopped promo art, etc.
- Your fill should not be focused on Homestuck characters playing the game--the point of this round is to make a crossover.
- For this challenge, you are allowed to submit fills based on your team ship. You don't have to, of course!
- For this challenge, there is no minimum wordcount. We are trusting you not to abuse that fact!
- This challenge will run until 11:59PM EDT July 21. After that time, even if it's just by a minute according to the timestamp, no submissions will be accepted for points.
Title Format
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.
Replace [GAME TITLE] and [YEAR RELEASED] as appropriate.
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 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!
FILL: TEAM KARKAT<3NEPETA - WHERE IN THE WORLD IS CARMEN SANDIEGO (1985)
Mindfang adjusted the sweep of her enormous blue hat, making a shadow of it that she know would leave only the gleam of her smile showing. "So like a sluggish tealblood, and an agent of Interpol. To know nothing of real value... The chase, the excitement, the trickery. You simply plod along after me based on a trail of dry old facts and clues and guesses."
The wind whipped her coat as she stepped back along the main curve of the Sydney Opera House ceiling. She could see the helicopter approaching - any minute now, she'd make her escape...
Something flashed behind her. Something huge, a sky-filling cascade of light and energy.
"I'm not proud of it," said Agent Redglare, as the pitiless vacuum began to pull harder on Mindfang and she gripped tight to her signature hat and coat. "But I can also steal, should the need arise. This new captchalogue technology you've been using really is marvellous, isn't it?"
Two days later, safely deposited in an Interpol holding facility, Mindfang decaptchalogued with the same gleaming smile she'd held on the roof of the Opera House, and searched for Redglare.
"My gracious apologies for underestimating you," she said. "Please never forgive me."
Mindfang escaped within two years, and took a chunk of Alcatraz with her. Redglare remembered that night precisely enough that she could almost hear the cadence of that voice promising trickery, excitement, the chase. She pressed her fingertips to her mouth and thought that she'd first glimpsed this smile on the other woman's face.
