HSWC: Bonus Round 2
Yeaaaaah bonus round 2 has been underway for a whole day now!
I wasn't super enthused about this round at first, because I am a solitary creative by nature, and when it comes to collaboration I prefer to pick and choose. Besides that, despite loving second person narration I have a hard time getting into the gimmicky, goofy narrative style of HOMESTUCK. But! I really love round robins!!
Once I posted a few starts of my own and began replying to other people's fanventure threads I just completely lost control of my fandom-life, please send help. I've posted on eleven different fanventures of fairly varied pairings (I lie, I gravitate towards anything with Dave or John or Dirk in it, but I have done a bunch with none of my favorites in!), in several cases posting numerous times.
I kinda sent an ask to the HSWC announcements tumblr inquiring whether it's acceptable to get into a back-and-forth with one person, and I appreciate the spirit of this game and not turning a thread into a two-person marathon with everyone else closed out, but I definitely didn't sit on one thread and only do fills for that one person. I sat on a BUNCH of threads, and back-and-forthed with different sets of one or two people.
Which is probably also a little bit not in the spirit of the game, but I personally consider it a product of the hour of the night it was, because I feel like I pretty much did a fill for the majority of participants actively posting.
UGH IT IS REALLY FUN THIS IS GONNA BE A FUN TWO WEEKS!
