i got jade<3feferi , aradia<3<vriska, and feferi<3aradia weeh i feel like none of them are gonna fill uAu

[rhedbird]

I'm sure people will see the light!

[rhedbird]

Well, it's my first choice ship! I really hope it becomes a team!

[that_is_mahogany]

Hey, you. ;u;

[sadisticbutsweet]

Oh come here sweetie there's plenty of fives for the high around here. ^u^

(Oh my gods I need to sleep if I'm saying stuff like that hahaha I sound so psychotic at 3AM.)

[siadea]

I'm a little confused - if I signed up for, say, Dave<3Tavros and Aradia<>Tavros, would there be the possibility of my winding up aboard the USS Aradia<>Tavros<3Dave? Because I dunno about y'all, but I would be more than 0k with that.

[wallwalker]

Same here. This is going to be crazy, and also fun. ^^;

[friendlypuellus]

Aradia<>Tavros<3Dave would be another team.

What happens is if your first pick is full, they'll look at your second pick, and then your third pick.

If you want Aradia<>Tavros<3Dave you'd have to sign up for it as such

[emmaaaa]

sobs would they consider eridan<3sollux to eridan<3<sollux? If yes then there goes my otp. ;-;

[siadea]

It is worth keeping in mind. Two great tastes etc. :D

[wallwalker]

Eridan♠Sollux is a valid team.
Eridan♥Sollux is a different and also valid team. If enough people sign up for both of the two teams, they can both participate.
Eridan♠/♥Sollux (that is, Eridan and Sollux flipping from spades to hearts and back - quadrant vacillation) is NOT a valid team - they ask people to stick to one quadrant.

Does that help? I'm not a mod, but they've been fielding a lot of these questions on tumblr, so I've seen them answering them a lot. ^^

[emmaaaa]

yes, thank you! c:

yeah!

[lacertae_dreamscape]

haha, first time participating AND created an account on here just because of this :D

[wallwalker]

I keep looking at this and wondering where Eridan<>Rose is, suddenly afraid that the team isn't open after all and has no chance of actually becoming an actual team, then scrolling down and seeing it near the end of the list.

Just did that for the fourth time now. Clearly I should sleep. XD

[lun]

First time for me too :')

[me_myself_and_i]

Umm...no ^.^

Name on the list?

[fantasysquish]

I might just be a bit stupid, but it says that your name will appear on the list the next time they update it if you've signed up.
What do they mean?
I can't see anyone elses names on the list...
Or are they talking about an other list? :O
Help >

Um, help? :c

[sugercube75]

So, after submitting my team form I looked at the list again and realized there were teams I'd rather be on...! Can I possibly change my form/submit another or something? :?

[dogtierlions]

oh no! so I thought that I had seen Dirk♥Roxy listed under full, but they aren't! I already submitted my sign-up sheet... is there any way I can make them one of my top choices? even in place of another? my OTP is currently unconfirmed so I'd really like to have them down, too!

[pentacletier]

Oh goshhh I'm excited but also scared!! This is my first HSO and ahhhhhhh oh goshhh. I can't wait!

Re: Name on the list?

[sadisticbutsweet]

They have a seperate post for members of team listing:

http://hs-olympics.dreamwidth.org/3829.html#cutid1

Right now they only have the ships that are filled up, but over the next few days they should get everything sorted and all of the ship-changes arranged so the other team lists will be up. :)

[sadisticbutsweet]

If you email homestuck.shipping@gmail.com with your dreamwidth username and what you want to change then they should be able to switch your choices. It just may take them a day or two to get back to you. :)

[sugercube75]

Thank you! That helps a lot!

We can only sign up for one team right

[rje]

I totally didn't see this answered in the FAQ, but are we only allowed to sign up once? I thought about doing this last time it came around but was too busy plus I didn't have any ships but now I kind of have two and I sort of want to do them both ... they're not common either (well one is actually one is really really not xD) but I don't know if it's even possible to be on two teams.

If not then I might just join Team English so I can draw whatever I want for bonus rounds (if I'm reading this right -- I still don't really know how this works aha)
