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!

YEEEEES. I was originally going to sign up for Dave<3Terezi and Dave<3<Karkat separately, but they're pretty inextricably linked ships for me! Thus: sexy coolkid shipping Voltron.

"sexy coolkid shipping Voltron?" Oh my goodness that is awesome. I actually have a hard time shipping them exclusively in two-person ships because I always feel bad for whoever's left out.

Well... I feel bad for the people around Karkat whenever he's left out. Can you imagine having to listen to his romance talks all day when he's moping because Terezi is spending more time with Dave than him? XD

I think we're actually getting counted as different teams! (My signup didn't have the <3 between Terezi and Karkat.) I picked the "ask me about joining another team" option if mine fill up/don't confirm, though, so if it comes to that I'll ask to get on yours since it's so close.

Eeeek! I actually worried that would happen with three-way pairings. I clicked to be contacted too, so maybe it'll all work out so the two teams combine? At least, as long as no one wants a Karkat<3<Terezi blackrom as the other quadrant. XP Actually...I'm kind of impressed Dave/Karkat/Terezi - in some way shape or form - hasn't met the minimum yet. I expected it or Dave/John/Karkat to be the first polyamory ship.

My main sticking point to just combining (and why I didn't put Karkat<3Terezi as part of my OT3 signup to begin with and why I'm not emailing the mods about my signup now) is that I like my Karkat/Terezi as a quadrant-vacillating mess. So, uh, I'm not sure how good of a teammate I would be having to stay with Karkat<3Terezi there. ^^;

It's definitely something I will strongly consider, but the more I think about it the more I doubt I could make a good straight-up Karkat<3Terezi contribution to the team.

I had to dig up the exact tumblr post to make sure I wasn't imagining things - but the mods stated a couple weeks back that two characters could vacilliate within a story, as long as the final outcome and over all focus is in the quadrants the ship is for.

Just something to consider. If you'd be more comfortable on a different ship, then go for it! -laughs- I'm actually staring at some of those rare-pairs on the list, so if I don't manage to make the minimum for my team I may hop and skip over to them to ensure they've got the minimum team numbers. Gods, I love crack ships. Hehe.

I'm not interested in focusing on or ending up with Karkat<3Terezi, but good luck with your team! It looks like most of the interest in this post matches up to the quadrants you're looking for, so you shouldn't have trouble getting to six without me. :3

[sadisticbutsweet]

Yeah, I know of at least two other people on the team, and I know one person said s/he'd join and make the minimum requirements if just to ensure we got the minimum needed. -hugs- I think we'll be cool. I plan on trying to recruit like crazy if needed. -laughs-

I wish you luck on your shipping endevours! :) Have fun with whatever ship you land on!
