Vid Pics! (And silliness)
Jul. 31st, 2012 06:57 ammorriganfearnWhoo. How is everyone doing? One week left of terror. Just in case you want to see what my bit of the video is going to look like, under the cut are all my pictures. And some goofy dialog.
Reminder: I'll need either an avatar or general description of an avatar to go with before Friday if you want your work in the credit scene. 150 x 90 is the ideal size, and please email me. At this point, I've got mine and Jenny's roughed out. As for Niji, Chloe and Pi I have stick figures of Chi, a kitty, and a dragonite (stick blob?).
Everything is due Saturday. Gah. Scary. If anyone else is having time difficulties, please tell Niji or me, so that we can pick up extra pictures.

New Tumblr
Jul. 28th, 2012 04:16 pmohthesparkelsDue to being hacked multiple times, I have had to delete my tumblr account, and all of my blogs.
But I've made a new one. You can find me at lugiasbooty.tumblr.com
But I've made a new one. You can find me at lugiasbooty.tumblr.com
ohthesparkelsI'm back, and it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I'm doing better, but have developed a pokemon addiction. Especially the shipping. Oh God the shipping.
...did I just talk about shipping for another fandom on a forum for a shipping team that isn't in said fandom?
Anyway, I read up on what's going on with round three and the collab round, and I just want to say that if Pi or MF or anyone else feels overwhelmed by their workload, I'd be more than happy to take extra slots in the collab round.
Peace,
Chloe

pictures number two and three!
Jul. 16th, 2012 09:09 pmrainbowpuii should have the first and last images done by tomorrow if im lucky and the day after at the latest.
for the third picture(second one shown here)i changed the script very slightly. i just think that it should just read "in the dark neither of you ask...etc.etc." so its just the removal of one word but i think it works better that way because what i have planned is more of they are together and care(in a twisted way)about each other,but they have to put their goals first. so in the final image its going to be like they are going into battle against each other and they know they cant hold back even if they want to.(if that makes sense?)
ANYWAY
images ahoy!

BONUS ROUND 3
Bonus Round 3
Retro Gaming
Hi shippers! Welcome to Bonus Round 3.
In this round, you'll be creating fanworks based on video and computer games from before 2000!
Rules
Choose a game that was released before 2000, and post a fanwork based on the game in some way. Make sure to use the appropriate title format (see below). Examples include: character inserts, rewritten dialogue, costume redesigns, alternate soundtracks, theme song covers, photoshopped promo art, etc.
Your fill should not be focused on Homestuck characters playing the game--the point of this round is to make a crossover.
For this challenge, you are allowed to submit fills based on your team ship. You don't have to, of course!
For this challenge, there is no minimum wordcount. We are trusting you not to abuse that fact!
This challenge will run until 11:59PM EDT July 21. After that time, even if it's just by a minute according to the timestamp, no submissions will be accepted for points.
Title Format
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 your team name is not in this format and in the title we cannot guarantee that it will be counted.
Replace [GAME TITLE] and [YEAR RELEASED] as appropriate.
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
(as stated here)
First 5 entries per team: 30 (per entry)
Entries 6-10: 20 (per entry)
Entries 11-15: 10 (per entry)
Entries 16+: 5 (per entry)
All content must be created new for this round.
We would prefer that any questions about this challenge or anything else in the HSO be emailed to us at homestuck.shipping AT gmail!

ROUND THREE!
Jul. 8th, 2012 02:13 amrainbowpuicopied from the main com.
ROUND THREE: BALANCING ACT
you gotta tip on the tightrope
Hey shippers!
Welcome to the very last main round. The R1 Phase One results should be up in a day or two, as should the R1 Phase Two voting form; the R2 entries are being processed right now, and the R2 Phase One voting form will go up when the R1 Phase Two voting form closes.
This round is a format challenge! Your R3 entry should be composed of two separate but related parts. They should be roughly equal in size/complexity; we're not going to be policing that, but the general idea is that they should balance each other in some way.
All submissions must be created/assembled new for this round by members of your team.
This challenge will run until 11:59PM EDT July 21. If your Palhoncho sends it in after that time according to the gmail timestamp and before voting closes, your team's entry will get posted--but we may not be able to approve it out of the queue right away.
Requirements (as stated in the Info Post)
Fic/meta must be between 800-3000 words.
Combination fic/art entries cannot have more than 4 images.
All other image-based media (including comics) cannot exceed 10 images/panels.
Cosplay must be at least 75% created or assembled new for the challenge.
Gifs and other animations must be 8 seconds or less total. (e.g. you could have one 5-second gif and one 3-second gif)
Games are still subject to the 10-image limit.
Live-action movies are limited to one minute total.
Original music is also limited to one minute total.
The penalties for going over 3k words will be as follows:
3000-3050: no penalty (to allow for disparities in wordcount software)
3051-3150: -30 points
3151-3250: -60 points
etc.
PLEASE NOTE that gdocs is notoriously bad at generating an accurate wordcount, so you should probably check your submission at http://www.wordcounter.net/ just to make sure.
Also, this year we are requiring transcriptions of all text on images. These transcriptions count towards the wordcount.
For audio/vid files, we are allowing a 2-second grace period, and applying a 30-point penalty every 5 seconds after that. For animations, we are allowing a 1-second grace period, and applying a 30-point penalty every 2 seconds after that.
Penalties for going over the image limit will be 30 points per extra image.
If your entry has 800 words or more, it will be considered fic and will be subject to the illustrated fic limit.
Please remember not to post your HSO creations publicly until voting ends, whether or not they are chosen as part of the team submission. We would like to keep things as anonymous as possible!
Submission Format
Submissions should be formatted as outlined here.
Questions about this challenge should be emailed to us at homestuck.shipping AT gmail! We will try to answer any questions posted as comments here, but we may not see them in a timely manner.
awwwwwwwwwwww yeeeeeaaaahhhhhhh we got this guys! their whole relationship is a balancing act! so lets throw out some ideas.
i think that it would be cool if we could show a balance between the really heavy "try to rip each other apart" aspect of the relationship with the whole "mutually beneficial, help each other grow" aspect that comes with kisnemitude.
because at the end of the day your kisnemisis is supposed to make you better! even if you hate them!
on the other hand we could do something with trying to balance their romance with their EXTREMELY DIFFERENT political views and the fact that there are some lines that should not be crossed and they BOTH have to think of that when dealing with each other.
any other ideas? lets hear them! :) :) :)

Jul. 6th, 2012 09:22 amohthesparkelsSo I decided to drop by and say that I am going to be away from July 7th to July 14, due to a family reunion. I should be back by the 14th, if I don't drown myself in the lake first.
Also, sorry for disappearing on you guys. I've been kind of depressed lately, and when that happens I kinda fall off the face of the earth.

Hello, shippers!
Round Two submissions are due this Saturday, July 7, at 11:59 PM EDT. Please submit your entry to the appropriate sector comm as close to that deadline as possible. After 48 hours there will be a penalty applied to your team's participation points; the grace period is to allow for re-submissions and extenuating circumstances.
Palhonchos should have received an invitation to one of the four Round 2 sector communities over the course of this week. If you have not received an invitation, please email us at homstuck.shipping@gmail.com.
Palhonchos, when putting together a submission, please make sure that you are using the entry header outlined in this entry.
In order to clarify: 'tags not used' does not mean 'none of these tags apply.' That goes on a different line! 'Tags not used' is intended to mean 'we chose not to indicate whether these things are in our entry or not.' Please keep that in mind when tagging your entries!
The 'Drugs' tag will be needed for entries containing illegal and/or prescription drugs, unless you are opting out. If you wish to tag for legal drugs such as alcohol, nicotine, and caffeine, that's also fine and we'll accept the entry out of queue.
If your palhoncho seems to have disappeared, please email us as soon as possible! The sooner we are aware of an issue with palhoncho attendance, the faster we can correct it. Emailing us on Sunday morning around 2 AM is not a great time to inform us that your palhoncho has been missing for a week and you're not sure if your team's entry was submitted. Do it now, if possible! We are happy to work with teams in order to get a submission in, but we can't do that if we're not aware of the issue.
On a related note: if you are emailing us, please include your Dreamwidth username and team. As it is, if you don't include that information, we need to index your email against the roster, which is time-consuming. In order to help us streamline things like checking on voting errors or signup processing, please help us out! This also allows to keep a record of our correspondence if we ever need to look back through the inbox.
Email is still the preferred method of contact with the moderation team. However, if you are messaging us on Dreamwidth, please include your team name in the email, and make sure your account has messaging turned on. If not, we have to index your username in the database to get your email to contact you, and when things are busy that may mean that your response will be delayed!

Voting deadline has been extended!
Jul. 1st, 2012 06:56 pmrainbowpuicopied from main comm.
Hey shippers!
We have some VERY important voting and scoring announcements. Please read carefully!
So, we completely forgot to account for AX in the new schedule; with that plus the delays and trouble we've been having getting everything in posting shape, we've decided that it's only fair to extend voting.
The new deadline for Phase One voting will be Saturday, July 7, 11:59PM EDT. That means that Phase Two voting will take place from as soon as we can balance and tally the Phase One votes and put together the form (probably within a few hours) on Sunday, July 8 until Saturday, July 14, 11:59PM EDT.
Round Two will close and Round Three will open as scheduled on Saturday, July 7, 11:59PM EDT.
The points awarded for voting have increased from 5 to 15 (capped at 90)! This will be applied retroactively. Right now, there are only about 75 votes in all sectors combined; we know you're all very busy, and there are a lot of entries, but we really do think it's important to vote if you can. Hopefully now you'll have a little more time, too!
We've made a slight change to the bracket balances, so that scoring will work out a little better. The top twelve entries from each sector will move forward, so you'll have to read 36 new entries instead of 30. The top 24 (out of 48 total) will receive placement points.
Remember, all teams who submit a Round One entry will receive 180 points! In future rounds, we will probably have a cut-off date for getting the full allotment of participation points, but there's been so much trouble this round that we're not instituting the cut-off yet.
Placement points go above and beyond those participation points.
The placement point structure will be:
1: 1800
2: 1620
3: 1440
4: 1260
5: 1080
6: 900
7: 720
8: 540
9-16: 360
17-24: 180
Several entries have gone over the limits in non-text media; rather than disqualifying them, we will be applying penalties in increments of 30 points. For audio/vid files, we are allowing a 2-second grace period, and applying a penalty every 5 seconds after that. For animations, we are allowing a 1-second grace period, and applying a penalty every 2 seconds after that. For illustrations, there is no interval of grace; every additional illustration over the limit will incur a penalty.

Bonus Round 2

Bonus Round 2
The Return of Round Robin Fanadventures
Hi shippers! Welcome to Bonus Round 2.
Round Robin Fanadventures generated so much awesome stuff last year that we decided to bring it back!
For those who are new to HSO, this is not actually that complicated a concept, but it might be a little tricky to explain, so bear with me. The point of this round is to create a bunch of fanadventures that are for a team other than your own.
Rules
If you are starting a new adventure: start a new thread using the title format defined below. Include either text or 1-2 pieces of embedded art setting a scene (or both!), and finish with a command (==> does not count as a command for new threads). Then sit back and wait for someone else to contribute!
If you are continuing an adventure: find a thread that does not center around your team's ship. Then comment using the title format defined below. Include either text or 1-2 pieces of embedded art continuing the scene (or both!), and finish with a command (this can include ==>, though generally we would prefer otherwise). Then sit back and wait for someone else to contribute!
For ease of reading, we suggest using standardized image sizes. 600x400 landscape is a pretty good size! But as long as it's the same as the other images in the thread, people will have an easier time following along. The HTML for inserting images is
For this challenge, there is no minimum wordcount. We are trusting you not to abuse that fact!
You may not comment twice in a row in one adventure. The point is to hand off the scene like a hot potato.
You may not introduce or create for your team's ship into a fanadventure. If someone else introduces your team's ship to a thread, you can still contribute to that thread so long as your contributions do not involve your ship.
This challenge will run until 11:59PM EDT July 7. After that time, even if it's just by a minute according to the LJ timestamp, no submissions will be accepted for points.
NOTES:
Audio posts are fine, so long as you include a transcript.
Please make sure to check that your titles are correct!
You may answer commands that have already been answered. Think of it like a 'choose your own adventure' game!
Title Format
If you are starting a new thread, use this format in your title.
New [THEIR SHIP] Game (FILL: TEAM [YOUR SHIP])
Replace [THEIR SHIP] with the ship you want this particular fanadventure thread to be. Remember that you cannot create a fanadventure based on your own ship. Whatever ship you choose must be represented by a HSO team not your own. The only exception is gen adventures, which are permitted.
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 it may not be counted.
If you are continuing a thread, use this format in your title.
[COMMAND] (FILL: TEAM [YOUR SHIP])
Replace [COMMAND] with whatever command the previous fill has specified.
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 title is not in this format it may not 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.

Bonus Round 2
The Return of Round Robin Fanadventures
Hi shippers! Welcome to Bonus Round 2.
Round Robin Fanadventures generated so much awesome stuff last year that we decided to bring it back!
For those who are new to HSO, this is not actually that complicated a concept, but it might be a little tricky to explain, so bear with me. The point of this round is to create a bunch of fanadventures that are for a team other than your own.
Rules
If you are starting a new adventure: start a new thread using the title format defined below. Include either text or 1-2 pieces of embedded art setting a scene (or both!), and finish with a command (==> does not count as a command for new threads). Then sit back and wait for someone else to contribute!
If you are continuing an adventure: find a thread that does not center around your team's ship. Then comment using the title format defined below. Include either text or 1-2 pieces of embedded art continuing the scene (or both!), and finish with a command (this can include ==>, though generally we would prefer otherwise). Then sit back and wait for someone else to contribute!
