BONUS ROUND 5
Bonus Round 5
Tales from the Road
Hey, shippers! HSO is winding down, so we thought we'd take a look back at the journey, so to speak. With that in mind, this next bonus round is going to be roadtrip-themed! Give us a little taste of your characters' life on the road, whatever form that takes.
Rules
- Submit prompts! Prompts should consist of one ship (friendship/gen is fine too!) and a location. This cannot be your team's ship! This round we will not be giving points for prompts.
- 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 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 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!
Bonus Round 5 is now closed!
16/08/12 Comments are unscreened again, for the sake of comments on fills. No new fills are being counted for points.

Re: PROMPT: TEAM ENGLISH
FILL: TEAM JOHN<3VRISKA
The first order of business of course is to order salad and breadsticks. You do so, and tell your waiter to keep them coming. You want to make sure that your love's ravenous appetite is completely sated, and what's lacking in quality can certainly be made up for in quantity, thanks to your stupidly generous fans. She leaves the salad untouched. A single breadstick is picked up cautiously, sniffed, and bitten into after what looks like a brief internal debate. You watch as her face morphs from its blank state into one of pure disgust as she chews slower and slower until she forces herself to choke down the morsel. She crumples the rest of the breadstick in her hand and throws it across the restaurant. You are not even close to being deterred.
When the waiter returns to see if you've made a decision for your main courses, you take your menu and point to the things with the biggest pictures. The bigger pictures clearly mean it's most popular, right? Your wife-to-be surely cannot resist the finest Italian-American cuisine has to offer. Your attempts to make small talk in the meantime are met with hostile threats to lock you up in the attic again. You decide not to toy with fate and leave her alone for now.
Twenty minutes later, you're thinking you've sorely underestimated her iron will. She's idly stabbing her seafood and noodles drowned in hearty mysterious sauce, and she appears to be using the grease from the breadsticks to spell out words in Alternian. This can't be; you've given her the best a $150 gift card could offer. How is she not impressed?! Your curiosity is burning hot...it is demanding answers.
"Is none of this to your liking, dearest?"
She scowls up at you from her hunched over position in front of a growing breadstick tower. "First off, don't fucking call me that. And secondly, this is the grossest shit that's ever been served to me on a plate."
You gasp quietly, feeling your heart pound. "You mean to say that you are unhappy with everything Olive Garden has to offer?"
She straightens up and knocks over the breadstick tower with a flick of her finger. "I wouldn't feed this slop to my worst enemy."
You know you are blushing now. Your smile threatens to split your face apart. Just when you thought she couldn't be any more perfect, she has to go on and prove you wrong yet again. You silently vow to make her yours no matter what the cost. The seventeenth marriage proposal has got to be the charm. Your new life mission is clear: make Hussie/Vriska canon.
Re: FILL: TEAM JOHN<3VRISKA
(And lol wow 17 marriage proposals and the bread stick writing + tower XD! There's a lot of really great details and actions here--esp. in the way Hussie describes Vriska eating...)
FILL: TEAM DAVE<3ROSE<3TEREZI
A young artist draws the soul of his love.
A date is set.
A table, chosen.
A menu, disdained.
The Vituperative Sailor refuses the proffered dish. The artist will have to try a more palatable tactic, if he wishes to woo her.

Re: FILL: TEAM DAVE<3ROSE<3TEREZI
An eloquent and filling fodder delivered for fandom (if not for "The Vituperative Sailor" really great line).
