Meet and Greet your Teammates!

[chichirinoda]

Hi Goldfish team members!

I'm Cnd, one of the two co-palhonchos of team Dualscar ♥ Psiioniic. I thought we should start by having an informal post where we introduce ourselves, talk about what kinds of fanworks we like to do, and just generally get a discussion going. You can use the form below, or just introduce yourself however you like. Please tag into each others threads and be friendly!

This is also a place where you can feel free to ask any questions you have. I did HSO last year (I was on Sollux ♠ Eridan) and so I have some idea of how this works. Though there have been some rule changes this year, the basic way the challenge works doesn't seem to have changed.

As an aside, I would strongly suggest that you 'track' this community, so you can get a notification when new posts go up. Once the challenge starts, timelines can sometimes be tight, and I don't want anyone to miss out on being able to participate, or miss any deadlines.

<b>Name or handle:</b> <b>The reason I love DS♥Psii is:</b> <b>I usually like to produce the following kinds of fanworks:</b> <b>But I also have these skills that I could use to help the team:</b> <b>One odd or surprising thing about me is:</b> <b>Anything else?</b>

I'll be posting another post for contact info in a few minutes!

Ohmy, I don't even know how to explain that, Keh-newt? Maan, trying to write phonetically in English is frustratingly difficult D:
I could probably say it over a voice-chat on sometime, hehe, if anyone [other than me] would be up for having group-covos on Skype? [can actually be quite nice]

So what's your Native language then? :3

Luckily it's not in the middle of nowhere, and not tropical either~

Probably one of my favourite HS-quotes, sadly x3

That sounds really cute! I guessed on the last part right, but not on the first! We should really have a skype convo so I can hear it :)

I'm Filipino! I speak the local lingo pretty well but I can't type it without messing up somewhere :) Sadly we are tropical which means going as a troll requires constant retouching :((

[iknut]

Aww, I guess I wish it was cuter than it is :3
or at least had a cute meaning..

Filipino? That's pretty cool, for some reason it seems like about 90+% of all Homestuckers are American, so being a multicultural team is quite neat~

Well, all climates come with their ups and downs?
It's currently summer here, but we had snow last week, and now it's raining non-stop, and it never gets dark.
Cosplaying in those conditions makes you truly dedicated, which is admirable~

Hey from a person whose local nickname sounds like a mild cussword your name is cute :B

I know at least half-a-dozen local fen who joined HSO this year, and a couple more who tried but missed the cutoff. :( We're a rather active group because we consider ourselves as part of one crazy family. :)

Aw, I guess we do have to be crazy dedicated to cosplay in the heat but then you may have to deal with the cold over there? Unique circumstances everywhere! :B

I almost got it right, too! I was thinking of the Knuts in Harry Potter, so I thought it was Keh-nut.

As for the American thing, I'm Canadian. Does that count? ;)

[iknut]

pretty much, just with a longer uuuu :3
as a kid I read the books translated, Galleon, Sigd and Fjong, almost all the characters got new names too, it was so confusing suddenly reading it in English when I got old enough. HP nostalgia.

What I've found out through stalking research is.. 4 Americans, 2 Canadians, the rest being Filipino, Portuguese, Norwegian and.. uhm.. s.Korean?
Not sure how accurate that is though~
But of course Canadian counts ;P
While I was travelling the US, the Americans would always point out the Canadians before I was introduced, like a heads-up. It was kind of awkwardly sweet.

[chichirinoda]

That's a decent spread :|a

Does one need a heads-up about Canadians? We're a polite species XD;

[iknut]

According to Americans, one does~

I'd say main difference is political views.. As I experienced it at least.
Though I met this one Canadian in Arizona who was being the most stereotypical American possible, then he refused watching anything but Canadian TV to compensate.
Fun times.

[chichirinoda]

Ffff, I officially disown that Canadian. Canadian TV isn't even that great, by and large LOL, except for Sanctuary
