ROUND THREE!

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! :) :) :)

According to teh relevant rulez:
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.
Games are still subject to the 10-image limit.
So, as far as I can tell we can do a 10 image choose your own adventure flash, with total text being under 800 words in length, because over 800 might get counted as fic.
The flash might be something like:
There is a mob in the throne room, what do you do?
1. Laugh in the face of the upstart who has impinged upon your most blessed good will (GHB route)
2. Issue an ultimatum to the highest authority, because today you are bringing him low. (Summoner route)
(GHB route) The mob bursts into a wicked rage and you fight--motherfucking stardust, a dragon!
(GHB route) You are subdued, and forced to kneel, most of the faithful are dead, but you are to be made an example of.
(GHB route) You accept the visit from the upstart the night before. Scar him so he will remember you.
(GHB route) You are not allowed to challenge the ruling. You smile at the upstart and wish him an interesting rule as the noose pulls tight. You topple from the block. You fall. You die.
(Summoner route) The guards are on you as the last sentence leaves your mouth.
(Summoner route) Your rebellion is crushed, and you watch him destroy all but you.
(Summoner route) You accept his visit in the shadows of dawn. He tells you he will gouge out your dragon's eyes, and chain it to the palace. You are too dangerous to live. You bite him just to prevent any regrets.
(Summoner route) They chain you to a rock, and cast you into the sea.
Am I understanding this correctly?
