we’ve had a couple of people have problems with those pages and i can’t figure out why (they work on desktop and mobile for me!), so i’m just going to copy paste the content of those pages under this cut for yall
ABOUT
Ladystuck has been around for nearly a decade in different forms- this year we are keeping the project fairly simple: an art/fic exchange along the same lines as a Homestuck Secret Santa. This project is different because it is focused on the many wonderful ladies of Homestuck! Participants will sign up and list both what gifts they would like to receive, as well as what they have to give, be it art, fic, or some combination or the two! This year it is being run by pugetsound, with help from our other wonderful mods!
As of now, the timeline is:
Sign ups close: February 10th
Assignments given out: February 19th
Window for posting works: April 5th-April 13th
Participants are welcome to join our discord server! We are also on twitter!
FAQ
What exactly do you mean by ‘lady’stuck?
This is a project to celebrate the female characters of homestuck, so we want to only have works that are centered on those characters and the relationships between them. We are following canon identities as a definition for that rule; it should go without saying but this obviously includes any trans women (although we are not necessarily compliant with post-canon works like the Epilogues and Homestuck^2, we do want to include June because we love her!). Feel free to explore these characters as GNC and other identities, but the general rule is no boys allowed (well, some boys allowed, but they should not be the focus of your work). Please contact us if you have any other questions!
Are there any other requirements?
We do need to see some of your other work to qualify for sign-ups! A link to some of your art or AO3, for example, works perfectly, and you don’t need to worry about quality or quantity. This is just a precaution to make sure participants are more likely to finish their assignments (we are trying to minimize drop-outs ahead of time)!
Can I request characters from Hiveswap/Friendsims?
Go for it! If you are not familiar with these characters, be sure to specify that in the form and we won’t assign any of these prompts to you.
How do you do assignments?
Assignments will for the most part be randomized, with considerations given to any specific requests made by participants. For example, if you request to not be given dancestors as a prompt, we will try not to assign you someone who only has Meenah and Aranea prompts listed!
What if I don’t like any of the prompts I’ve been assigned?
Given the scale of the project, it is extremely difficult to change assignments after they have been given out. That said, please try to make it work, you can even put your own spin on it as long as it follows the general request! However, if there truly was a mistake on our end, please contact us as soon as you can after assignments are released and we will try to find a solution. Being as specific as possible in the sign up form will help prevent this from happening!
Can I talk about my assignment?
In short, please do not! We would like to keep it as anonymous as possible until the post date. You are of course free to talk to friends about what you’re working on, but please try to stay off social media. We will have a discord for participants to ask questions and get ideas with other people, but PLEASE try not to discuss your actual assignment. We want it to be a surprise!
What if I finish my assignment early?
Our posting window for complete works is currently April 5th through April 13th, so please wait until then to post your assignments! This makes the whole event more fun because we get to see everyone’s wonderful contributions at once, like a cool week long pre-413 party. If you have way too much time, feel free to start working on another one of your prompts!
