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! :) :) :)

Haha. I don't actually mind. But I was just thinking a lot of what we've done has mostly been physical violence stuff for these two and while I think its a great point to show off in a kismesis ship, it is also technically a romantic pairing. And let's face it, we really only had them kiss once?

That's all I was saying. *luckily your storyboard was great in caputring both of these moments*

Hee. It's true. One of my huge Achilles heels is that it takes me a very long time to write smut. I have some sort of mental block about it. I can pull off an action scene in a couple of minutes, but it will take me weeks of starting blankly at my screen to get the other kind of action scene written. You'd think what with all I read I'd be better at it :T I think my brain operates on a different time frame.

Reader!Arter!MF = Present day
ActionWriter!MF = 1990s where it is all manly action all the time!
SmutWriter!MF = 1860s oh gosh, this is too SCANDALOUS! They might hold hands next!!!! Back away! Romance happens in private! Physical romance even more so! Preserve the sanctity of love! Shoo! Shoo!

Hehehe. Luckily I have written well lets call it smut basically before. One of the blocks I think for a lot of writers is that you want the build up but you don't want to drag it on for like 16 pages. I think here what I'm taking is that I'd liek to see perhaps a few bite ridden sloppy make-outs mixed in with some hate filled frotage. We don't have to go full on NC-17 just simply because there hasn't been any of the prompts that really fit ((Except perhaps the collab one)) but I think we could go a little bit lighter for this one. especially after the gore filled fest that was our last entry.

I can probably do a flash and DEFINITELY do an HTML-based version if you guys can get me content.

And have you seen my Tumblr? I am SO DOWN with drawing porn. SO DOWN.

This was why I didn't feel too badly saying that porn was totally and option that we should explore.
