askerian: Serious Karkat in a red long-sleeved shirt (Default)

Homestuck -- um, yeah. >__>;

So I might or might not have written a Homestuck fic.

And it might or might not be total porn, with like zero redeeming qualities or even anything pertaining to a plot, I don't even know how the heck the characters got there seriously it's like they popped into existence already making out. This NEVER happens to my fics.

Also it's title-less because I hate titles. I'm going to start going with Alternian conventions for titles; this one'll probably be known as "wherein Dave Strider proceeds to top an embarrassed but willing Karkat Vantas; contains mild headgames, sloppy makeouts, voyeurism, exploration of alien genitals, bucket-filling, and a poor, defiled white couch, seriously who buys white couches anyway."

It's up on Archive of our Own.

I might or might not have like three other WIPs in progress for that fandom, two of which are John/Karkat and one of which manages to be shockingly, social-rules-breakingly poly even considering the usual troll approach to relationships. (The file is called Hippie Commune Fic.) I'm not even surprised at myself anymore. I'm kind of praying the bunnies'll die off before I can sit down and write them, because two of 'em promise to be longass WIPs and one of the Karkat/John is somehow a goddamned fantasy AU seriously what the fucking fuckity fuck self. (and might also be turning kids/karkat on me, what IS it with me and whoring the poor guy out.)

I'm kinda hoping it'll be like the Conan fandom and once i'm out of the honeymoon stage and I manage to bang out the couple of first spontaneous bunnies, things will slow down a bit, because it's embarrassing how much homestuck fic i've been mainlining recently. I'm not even entirely done catching up on canon for fuck's sake.

(also, not abandoning either Naruto, Gundam Wing or FF7. Seriously. I'm the kind of fan who keeps picking up new fandoms and never really puts them back down. I know, I tried! *eyes GW sideway*)

Dang girl. What is Homestuck anyway? I miss reading your writing, so I might plunge into this one without even joining the fandom. ^^;

...Godfuckingdamnit. *Ventures off resignedly to look up Homestuck.*

I'm not even surprised, really. ^__^

OH MY GOD. I'M ROSE LALONDE. Something is seriously weird here. XD Sorry, sorry, couldn't resist.

"I don't even know how the heck..."
"...it's like they popped into existence already..."
"This NEVER happens to my fics."

Despite Homestuck having a fairly PG-13-ish (somewhere between PG and PG-13) rating (if it had one), I am somehow inclined to lean back and say, "yup. Sounds like Homestuck."

And somehow you are making me more interested in Karkat than I was before. :/

[identity profile] shiroyue.livejournal.com 2011-12-21 09:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Heck yes they are, and I wish they weren't! TOO MUCH. OVERLOADING. Also, you really, really have to catch up. EXCITING STUFF IS HAPPENING. THAT I THINK YOU MAY TAKE INTEREST IN. Although that's not saying much, because exciting stuff is always happening.

Well then. Good luck suffering through another intermission then! I don't think this is a surprise, but if you know about the alternate kids, then you can probably guess that...nah, I probably shouldn't spill anything, just in case. Which part are you up to?

Good point. Yeah, I can see how that might be kind of predictable, unless Karkat's whatever-tier skills are actually comparable to Naruto-verse skills. Then that might be interesting.
Otherwise, maybe part 2 Sakura would be more interesting and less dangerous. But yeah, the chemistry between Dave and Karkat is probably the best fit that I can think of right now (as I can certainly tell in your PWP fic. I am enjoying all of Dave's hilarious attempts at coolness, and going 'hmm!' in the good way at the thought of Dave ignoring all of Karkat's sputters and topping like a boss.)

[identity profile] shiroyue.livejournal.com 2011-12-22 12:44 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, so that means you've actually got quite a ways to go before you get to current canon! Well then I guess that means my lips are sealed!

I'm...not sure I can imagine what a God Tier Karkat would be like. Maybe he'd just get owned by all the other godtiers or something because I have no idea what would happen otherwise.


And YES. (How dare you make me want that but) YES. Dave sitting there pretending to be chill would be an awesome scene, if there's a lot of tension/buildup. It would be irritating and counterproductive if the mood is relaxed and Dave doesn't actually have any problems brushing it off, though, yes. Hmmm.

[identity profile] shiroyue.livejournal.com 2011-12-23 01:37 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, good! Now I can safely say that things are getting EVEN SHIPPIER. (I can't say I saw the Rose "hitting on" Kanaya part coming, although I can say that I like it!) And I kinda expected Karkat and Dave to get along less and have more tension between them, because of Terezi or something. Or maybe that's because I've stalked the homestuck cast on CFUD before and now I'm a bit out of touch with canon relationships...


I have a hard time buying that the game would break the robe-only pattern just make a bucket a part of Karkat's godtier outfit (unless it's a captchalogue-able bonus item?), but I can buy that the game would screw him over equally well!

I'm not sure if he can still become godtier now, though, since they're heading to the new session. I'm tempted to say no, but if Kanaya can find a way to get her orb back...

because goddamnit I want God Tier Karkat! Heck, I want them all God Tier. It's not fair otherwise. >_____>

I'd like this too, heh! At least there is so much fanart of god tier trolls, once Hussie released all the designs for the different icons everybody went wild. XDb

I have no idea what Homestuck is, but you had me at hippie commune fic. :D

oh my god yes, that was YOU, i saw that on the kink meme and read it twice, it was delicious. And these mentioned WIPs and plot bunnies (kids/Karkat? YESSSS that means I won't be the only one trying to write that fivesome!) fill me with glee!

just gonna dance about here, your writing is awesome and i am super happy to read your writing in this fandom. X3

[identity profile] inverts.livejournal.com 2011-12-22 10:06 pm (UTC)(link)
yes, either option sounds pretty shiny to me as well. X3
and to be fair, mine is more of jade and john domming the shit out of karkat, and inviting rose and dave to play for a one-off. XDb but still! I love the dynamics between the 4 kids.

(aaaah if you get some more of those homestuck fic bunnies out soon, there is going to be another homestuck fic remix at some point in 2012... plus the shipping olympics might come back.... ::lure, lure:: )

OH GOOD A SUBJECT LINE fucking LJ and their dumb updates

[identity profile] inverts.livejournal.com 2011-12-22 10:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, that's the idea! Get writing! >D

http://hs-olympics.livejournal.com/

The shipping olympics happened in... the fall? Yeah, they ended around October. People made teams for their fav. pairings (or moresomes) and competed with fic & art in 4 rounds!

I played for team Jade♥John♥Rose♥Dave and we took home the gold in the final collab round, and 11th place in the overall olympics. XDb (Actually I think you've read what we did for the collab round, the fic with Subjugglator Rose!) It was a lot of fun! Some people were worried that encouraging competition between 'ships like that would be troublesome, but honestly the wank was kept pretty minimal. One douchebag who looked like he was trying to get Homestuck fandom onto fandom wank had to be banned, but otherwise things went smoothly. So there might be another shipping olympics later, since everybody had such a great time!

Sadly I wasn't able to get team Jade/Karkat/John going, but next time I will try again!
(My backup will be Vriska/John/Karkat, because I love the threesomes. I love them so.)

making a mental note to catch up on homestuck! (and by catch up i mean read past act 1....)

[identity profile] rewindnext.livejournal.com 2011-12-22 11:56 pm (UTC)(link)
yeah, i've been psyching myself up, but i think i'm going to wait until break is over and i have a faster internet connection so that i can speed read through it. ;;

The bunnies. They ambush you in the NIGHT.
D;

You know what other bunnies should ambush you?
Christmas bunnies. -sagenod-

How does Zack deal with christmas in Steal?
Or Teamwork people?

..ssh.
Stop denying my mental images of cute with logic. uAu;

I'll just go lurk in my sappy christmas corner over here and you can go to the logical corner of logic and genius over there.

Also I must resist being dragged into homestuck.
Stop tempting me, damnit! XD
