Introduction
Welcome to the Homestuck Shipping World Cup (HSWC), a summer-long shipping competition for the Homestuck fandom! Fans form teams around their favorite ships and compete in challenges based around prompts to show off just how awesome their ship is. Everything from fanfiction, fanart, fanmixes, games, even recipes and knitting projects are welcome, so long as it fits the challenge and is created new for the HSWC. Through fanworks, participants gain points for their teams, and teams are ranked based on how many points they accumulate.
There are two main rounds (MR), one collab round, and several bonus rounds (br) that take place over the course of the event. All teams are encouraged to participate in all rounds, and all rounds are point-earning.
After the main and collab round(s) are over, HSWC participants then vote for their favorite entries. The more votes a MR or collab entry receives, the more points it is awarded. But in the HSWC, everyone ships everything and the points don't really matter! The focus of the event is the celebration of shipping and the creation of new fanworks; the points are just an incentive system.
The HSWC is fast-paced and there's always something to do, but can generally scale to your amount of free time and desired involvement. If you want to enjoy and/or create fanwork, there's no better event than this; the first week of HSWC 2013 alone created over a hundred new works for the fandom. It's a great event for rare pairings and characters, and creates a huge amount of material for them every year.
No matter where your talents lie or what your free time schedule looks like this summer, the HSWC has a place for you. Just do your best, chill with some sweet bros (and maybe a few hella Jeffs), make some new friends, or just lurk! The most important thing is to have fun; the points system is in place as a motivator rather than an assessment of worth or talent.
Sign ups open April 8, 2014 and last for one full month (until May 8). The event begins on May 18, 2014, and ends on August 31, 2014. For more information, check our Schedule and Overview.
The Homestuck Shipping World Cup is hosted on Dreamwidth and you must have a DW account to play. (They're free!) To learn more, click here.
