Round 1 Discussion!

[kittehspring]

Okay, since the first prompt came out, I figured we should make this as soon as possible!

So as you probably know the prompt is: gambling

Let's get brainstorming, Team Nyankat!



(BTW this is my first Shipping Olympics so if I do something wrong tell me!)

1920stuck!

[bloodredbites]

Also there's the collab round? Aberration? I don't quite get everything yet about this but we shall see haha!

I think I have an idea for an art piece? A lil... card game Karkat is in and Nepeta as a maybe a flapper in 1920s? :'D! Idk haha... I shall see if I have time OTL

The collab prompt is for a fanwork that the team can work on for as long as the HSO is running, and then the finished product gets entered into the final round of the whole competition.

As for the current round prompt, your idea sounds cute - I'd love to see Nepeta done up flapper style.

I don't have any ideas tho. :( Somebody throw fic ideas at me?

Flapper!Nepeta sounds excellent. Eee.

Hmm, I was thinking about how interesting it would be if we had loanshark!Nepeta or Karkat after one of them gets in a bit of trouble with gambling... I mean, it's kind of a dark, fun sexy idea you know?

What do you guys think for me/ I can either write something for this round or help out by doing some sort of collaboration art/craft for a fic or idea that you're doing.

Loan shark Nepeta is a great image, especially if she goes and has her heart melted by Karkat. I think it would be pretty easy for her to fall in with the wrong crowd but it's a bit harder to imagine Karkat being taken in that far, and Nepeta is supposed to be a "rogue"...

Re: 1920stuck!

[kittehspring]

I think the idea of Karkat gambling and losing amuses me cause I can see him flipping tables

I like both ideas of loan shark and flapper Nepeta!

Maybe someone can draw out a few images and then someone else create a story for it?

I LOVE the idea of flapper Nepeta.

I think it'd also be interesting to do something kind of mobstery? Or James Bond, where Karkat has to win a card game to find out where Nepeta is?

But that's about all I got. xD

[slippy]

Or James Bond, where Karkat has to win a card game to find out where Nepeta is?
shriek so cute

That sounds like it would fit pretty well with the Stabdads AU, where the Midnight Crew raise the troll kids...

[pixii_stixx]

Or guys! Guys! What about Nepeta needing to save Karkat?

[kittehspring]

Hm...From what?

[pixii_stixx]

Same general idea. Maybe he got himself in a lot of debt from playing texas hold em, and Nepeta puts up some money to try and win Karkat's bill. Or the James Bond idea, except for in this scenario Nepeta is James, and Karkat is one of his ladies, who's being held hostage to lure James to a poker tournament, or some sort of gambling tournament.

[kittehspring]

I'm starting to like every single one of these ideas ; A; I don't know which one I like better! xD

I think I like the Mob idea and the James Bond scenario the best.
These are all great ideas aaaaa

[thesushisoldier]

Omg I suck I didn't see this until now D:

I seriously like Nepeta saving Karkat in the 1920's James Bond thing. Should it be humanstuck or will they be trolls? I vote humanstuck personally, but I can see either working just fine. And are we going to include other characters or will everyone else be OCs?
