R3 discussion post

So the Round 3 prompt is BALANCING ACT, and it needs two different parts. So we could have a fic & art collaboration, art where two people each draw half, a fic with two different points of view in it, etc etc. Any ideas and suggestions?

PPS: Has the team had any discussions about what to do for the Collab Round prompt? I just remembered I still need to get on Pesterchum, so I'm wondering if I missed anything there.

So I was thinking

Since they said the two pieces should balance each other out... That we have an art submission and a fic submission, one with a very dark theme and one with a very light and happy theme, yet both with the same prompt?
Like, for example, we could have a fic based around Karkat and Nepeta being very happy and cheery in the dreambubbles and doing everything they want to, etc etc... but then the art submission is something like, a picture of their opposing dead bodies.
The fluff would be cute alone and the sadstuck would be beautiful alone, but together I think they would be really excellent?
I am open for ficwriting for this round.
(I had some ideas for the collab round, if anyone wants to talk to me about it)

Ooo I like this idea!


I'm also open for writing a fic or drawing if needed btw c:

I think the fluff would be better off as a fic and then the art will be stunning sadstuck, which is basically what Aiden said |D

Wow I really love this idea a lot omfg. And I definitely think the fic should be the happy one and the art should be sad.

I really want to draw something for this round but my tablet's broken ; A; This has happened once before and it randomly started working again but I think this time I'm going to have to get it sent off somewhere for it to be properly fixed. But I'd be happy to help in any other way I can, whether it's by betaing fics, etc.

EDIT: My tablet works again! There was a notification for a driver update that I hadn't seen. oTL I'm still happy to help out in any way possible, but now I can finally submit something myself.

The rules for this one said that the two different parts of the submission should have the same complexity, so maybe there should be more than one picture? Like, a panel of Karkat/Nepeta in danger, then reacting in some way, and then dead.

what ideas have you got for the collab round? *curious*
