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!

Name or handle: Knut [probably not pronounced the way you'd imagine, hehe.]
The reason I love DS♥Psii is: Pretty much every single cliché reason I can come to think of makes this a great ship to sail. Adult trolls finding a connection despite being on opposite sides of a major conflict, it just interests me [heck], and I really wish to explore this part of the fandom, so indulge me. There's so much potential. So much....
I usually like to produce the following kinds of fanworks: I mainly draw, but we'll do some brainstorming and figure it out together~
But I also have these skills that I could use to help the team: Constructive critiques, moral support, a fresh viewpoint is always helpful. Now, since I'm no Native English speaker, I'm naturally not the best author or role player [not that those are traits of mine, regardless of language], but I will help out as best as and in any way that I can~
I think collaborating would benefit this team tremendously, I'd be up for it for sure ;3
One odd or surprising thing about me is: There's not much that can surprise today's Online society, but heck, at the end of summer I'm being shipped off to live on some small island somewhere.
Anything else?I'll miss my xBox.


Seriously though, getting psyched about this~
where doing it man. where MAKING THIS HAPEN!

[blue_cage]

So how is it pronounced? :B
I'm actually also ESL haha and now I'm curious what island you will be shipped to! :)

And yes we're making this hapen!! :Y

[iknut]

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

Small island by the name of Hasnøy http://tinyurl.com/d3wteyq
Luckily it's not in the middle of nowhere, and not tropical either~

Probably one of my favourite HS-quotes, sadly x3

[blue_cage]

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~

[blue_cage]

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

[chichirinoda]

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
