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.

But in the HSWC, everyone ships everything and the points don't really matter! 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.

The HSWC is hosted on Dreamwidth and you must have a DW account to play. (They're free!) To learn more, click here.
