Temporary Sign-Up Discussion Post!

[hso_mods]

Hey shippers!
So, we were completely blown away by the sheer volume of sign-ups (374 at the time of this writing); as a sort of stop-gap measure while we try to get the team lists up, feel free to comment here and tell others what team(s) you signed up for!

Comments

There has been at least one or two other people who have signed up for Karkat <3< Karkat, so I have a feeling that we'll make the cut by June! <3

Dave <3< Karkat is a good ship too; I wish you luck! It's not too late to change, but I don't think I'd want to in your shoes, since I think that Dave <3< Karkat would fill quickly and maybe there would be no going back. orz

I'm happy seeing most of my ships filling up with members.

[darkmeridian13]

Okay, so sign-ups just started and I already feel sweeps behind...
But I'm gonna comment here and see if it gets me started!
My top three were:

Dave♥Terezi♥Karkat♠Dave
Dave♥Dirk (Which I'm hoping is technically the same as Bro♥Dave?)
Dave♥Dave

Yeah, so... >w> Looking forward to getting on a team and meeting some people!!!

Re: I didn't see it, but...

[darkmeridian13]

I also put Dave <3 Dave as my third choice!
And wow, I'm surprised I didn't think of KK <3< KK... That seems like a team I would really enjoy being on.
If I don't get into my top three, I have a feeling I'll probably ask for that team!

[centrumlumina]

I'm down for "if necessary."

Re: I didn't see it, but...

[djiinraidinnae]

Hah, it happens. Sometimes I still feel like it's difficult to deal with HTML, at least when switching to and from so often.

Anyway, I'm in the same boat as you... actually, I've been putting off finishing a Shimeji [desktop buddy thing] for someone for a while, but I couldn't resist. I also haven't been a fan for that long. To be 100% honest, I only started reading the comic on 4/13 this year, and I'm almost completely up to date on the story. The hype I witnessed on a "discovering Homestuck" blog was too much and I had to actually start it. I was immediately enthralled by its well-tailored story in a spastically intriguing multimedia digital format. This one is sticking to me hard, but it's still embarrassing to be so new. :D

Yeah, the physical limits of Karkat <3< Karkat would definitely help keep the word limit, now that you mention it. Maybe I should write a mock memo at some point. I think that has potential, since it's said that there were a lot of them we didn't get to see!

Hoping to get into Ancestral PBJ

[saingirl101]

Hey I can finally comment now that I got stuff squared away with the wank policy and such. I have no idea if I'll get any of these.

1. Gam<3tav I already know filled up
2. GHB<3< Summoner Its still on the unconfirmed list which gives me hope
3. Signpsii IDK at this point.

Re: Rena will one day not go for poly with- okay no that's a lie

[that_is_mahogany]

I love John ♥ Karkat ♥ Vriska :3 It's my favorite OT3.

[that_is_mahogany]

Hey :3 I'm on the Terezi <3< Vriska team too! Such an awesome pairing.

Re: I didn't see it, but...

[paradoxcase]

Heh, I never really got involved in fandom beyond lurking around fandom_wank for the lulz until I read Homestuck. Then I somehow wound up haunting the kink meme and then writing a fanfic, and now I can't stop? Addiction is powerful thing.

I guess if there actually gets to be a confirmed team, we can be awkward newbies together. The memos are lots of fun, although writing pesterlog stuff is a completely different kind of thing from the prose (or at least I found it to be, at first). And there's also the memos with current/future Karkat on the asteroid in act 6 to work with too, and I've always thought the idea of transuniversal memos with Karkats from doomed timelines and such also had a lot of potential.

[cypher]

By "the special teams," I'm guessing you mean Alchemiter and English? Not a mod but I'm pretty sure you could change your mind later and sign up for a specific team, as long as it was a team that hadn't filled up yet.

Also your icon is super adorable. ^^

[beyondthegoldenlights]

Yep, those. Thanks!

And haha, yes, I don't own the artwork, but thanks~

[querulousartisan]

Dave<3Sollux represent! :D :D

[equinerotica]

I haven't yet! I actually don't have a tumblr, so. :P I've mostly just been bugging my friends on Plurk about it.

Thanks for the vote of confidence, and I am also now very curious to see what comes of a Dave<3Fef team!

[equinerotica]

Yeah? That'd be swell! I... Don't actually have a tumblr, so, eheh...

[chromatic_coma]

Congrats on being the Aradia♥Equius palhonco!

[sadisticbutsweet]

Oh my gods best ships right there.

I'm nearly 100% certain I'm on Dave♥Terezi♥Karkat♠Dave (I signed up RIGHT AT midnight and my ship is still unconfirmed -crosses fingers-) I really hope you get to join us. You'd be, like, the fourth person I've talked to who has it as their first ship, so yay! We'd nearly have the minimum to set sail!

But oh man, Dave/Dirk. The feels. And Dave/Dave. And really Dave with anyone. He's just the perfect mix of hilarious and absolutely heart-crushingly tragic, especially in the context of himself or Bro.

(Also I apologize if I come off as obnoxiously enthusiastic - I just knocked back a 32oz. Cherry Coke after no caffeine in four days, and combined with the total FEELS I have for all of these ships makes me excessively wordy and --EXCIT--ED!, hahaha.)

So, erm, yeah. Overenthusiastic fangirl hello from me, then!

[graveexcitement]

I just followed you back!

[graveexcitement]

Hm... I think if anyone had really wanted to, they would've put 'yes' down for 'do you wanna palhoncho for this ship'. But we'll see!

This is totally Rena, and not a RP journal again

[friendlypuellus]

It's mine too! I really love the pairing and wanted it to make last year but it didn't. I'm hopeful it'll have a better chance this year :3

Really it's one of my fav homestuck pairings.

[zoamh]

I was actually going to wait a bit and see if there was an unconfirmed team I wanted to join later in the sign-ups, but then I saw team John<3Jade<3Karkat recruiting on tumblr and couldn't resist. So here's my sign-up:

1. Jade<3John<3Karkat
2. Feferi<>Vriska
3. Eridan<>Karkat

I am excite.

[i2eve]

I was hoping to sign up for Aradia<>Sollux but it was already overfull by the time I got here haha… I am looking forward to seeing what that team produces though! :)

Anyway, my three choices go as follows:

1. Jane<3Gamzee
2. Jade<3Davepsrite
3. Feferi<3Vriska

I am super excited for everything ahhh!!!!!! HSO seems like a lot of fun, on top of being a great way to be creative and meet people in the fandom. :DD

[makingtriangles]

Yeah, I'm gonna stick with Davekat, since I have waaaaay more ideas for that ship? I wrote (er, almost completely wrote) my one Karkat/Karkat fic and I don't really know what else I would do! haha. Good luck to you, though! I'm excited to see what you guys come up with ºuº

[novatoast]

Unless there's any shifting going on it looks like we've got our team now. /b♦np

I don't think we have any place to gather just yet to say hello, so I made this post to my journal that I'm going to pass around to the other listed team members:

http://novatoast.dreamwidth.org/621.html

[novatoast]

Okay, the announcement tumblr said they would make a post in a day or so for teams to get together, but I made a post in my journal for those of us currently listed on team Gam♦Kar to meet so we don't have to wait on that. http://novatoast.dreamwidth.org/621.html

[novatoast]

Hi, looks like we have a team for Gamzee<>Karkat :D
I made a post in my journal for us to meet if you would like to reply: http://novatoast.dreamwidth.org/621.html
