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!

I applied for Dirk <3 Jake, Dirk <3 Jane, and Grandpa <> Bro.
I wanted Dirk's AR <3 Jake's Specs, too, but the latter isn't a character evidently. :(

[kezziez]

Hey. We might just be on the same team if we signed up for Dirk <3 Jake early enough.
Otherwise, I find your ships agreeable. c:

[alphastarr]

Yes, this is good. I ship DirkJake ridiculously hard, if somewhat ironically.
The flash of them getting married is mine. :)

[kezziez]

Cute.
I co-wrote this fic series ( http://archiveofourown.org/series/18183 I'm not exactly used to posted here yet). It starts out Jake/Brobot in the first, but then shifts to Jake/Dirk, if you'd like to see it.

[alphastarr]

AAAAAAAAA I have read that!!!!

I'm not done with the series yet (bluh halfway thorugh second story) but it's super good so far!!!

[kezziez]

AHHHHHHHHHH. That's so cool, thanks! <3

[alphastarr]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA We are both on the tentative list for team DirkJake!!!! It looks like this so far:
Michiyo_seta
pomodorooo
lovejourney
alphastarr
yucari
KezzieZ
tacostothenorth
totalspiffage
tieru

[kezziez]

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. I know! I'm totally spazzing out that I managed it!

[alphastarr]

Let's do this; let's make this happen.
You're such a good writer, I'm pleased that we're going to work together!

[kezziez]

Thanks, though I'll probably be leaning on art since Cendree didn't make it with me. I'm not the most confident Dirk and I'd have to look up policies on collaborations again.
Either way, yes, we will make this happen

[uki_la_maid]

OMG, Grandpa<>Bro <3

[alphastarr]

It's one of my favorite diamonds ships!
My headcanon is that Bro learned how to be awesome because when he was 16 in highschool he won an internship with famous adventurer Jake Harley, who proceeded to teach him how to be awesome.
And also how to stuff dead bodies/sew.

[uki_la_maid]

YOU WIN THE PRIZE OF BEST HEADCANON EVER.

I'M NOT EVEN KIDDING.

[alphastarr]

Hehe, thanks!
I really like this one a lot too, hence why I applied for it. I get the feeling, though, that I won't get on any of these ships... ehe...

[uki_la_maid]

I'm pretty sure you will! /crosses fingers for you

[alphastarr]

Thank you. >.<
I'm just worried I'll be cut off for DirkJake and that DirkJane and Grandpa <> Bro won't get enough support.
I saw that you applied for Bro <3 Dad; it looks like you're apt to get in on that, too!! The group is looking pretty good from here!

[uki_la_maid]

I don't know. I often see people who like DirkJane so it might be a possibility <3

And, Oh God, I'm annoying everyone and their mothers over tumblr to sign up for Bro/Dad because I want this to happen so badly!

[alphastarr]

Don't worry, like half of my dash is spazzing about Bro/Dad, including this really good Bro RP/Ask account! I'm sure you'll make the minimum!!!

[uki_la_maid]

By the way, your headcanon reminded me of this AU-fanfic I wrote and posted at AO3... It's a long story though *lol*

Anyways, said Bro ask account doesn't happen to be askbetabro, does it??

[alphastarr]

Yes, it is!!!
Good RPer, best Bro.

[uki_la_maid]

Indeed! We are both so ridiculously excited, it's not even funny anymore *haha*

[thierrycole]

I tried getting into Dirk<3Jake, too, but who knows with that one.

Although I just wanted to say that headcanon is literal gold. I love the idea of Bro learning how to sew puppets because of sewing dead bodies.

[alphastarr]

Yes.
And learning how to be ninja because tomb raids with Grandpa!!!
