Would something like Sollux/Aradia be accepted? Like a piece that’s main focus is exploring Aradia and how she interacts with her relationship with Sollux, because we are sorely AraSol content that treats Aradia as an actual character instead of just a one-dimensional character who’s only relevant to help the ‘uwu traumatized boy’ Sollux.
Are we allowed to do Ships with TransFem headcanons? Like I ship Dove <> Kan. And I was wondering if that’s allowed because Dove is canonically a man in all homestuck content, but kanaya is canonically a women in all homestuck content . So.??.?
Hello! Thank you for asking, and sorry for the late reply!
We have discussed this in the server, and have come to the conclusion that M/F ships are not something we’d like to include in this event, as it is intended to be focused around the women in Homestuck and it’s child medias (Hiveswap, etc.)! I know this can be a bit frustrating, especially if you Really love a ship that is M/F, but we want to keep the focus on those that are women, NB, and GNC for this event! Sorry about that! As a loophole however, using your example, if you were to request, say, a fan fiction of Aradia talking to another fem or GNC character about her relationship with Sollux, then that would be okay! Basically, if the content you’re seeking IS AraSol = no. If the content you’re seeking just INCLUDES AraSol = sure! The same as with everything else, just try to include some prompts that don’t include this sort of thing, in case your assigned partner isn’t comfortable writing about/drawing it!
Transfem headcanons are very welcome though! While not everybody aligns with the epilogues and HS^2 canon, for example, we are still including June! So any transfem headcanons (including Dove) are a-okay! I do suggest however, while I know transfem HCs aren’t the same as genderbends, unless commonly agreed designs exist for that HC (like they do for Dove), it can be interpreted as the same amount of effort a genderbent character would be! And as some artists may not be comfortable creating an entirely new design such as this via genderbending/genderswap, I suggest having at least 2 prompts that do not include transfem HCs! Just to ensure your assigned partner is capable of/comfortable creating art of your prompts.
Thank you again for asking! We appreciate the interest in this exchange, and hope you have a great evening!
