I don't think there is a reg stating that you can't have a relationship witha a subbordinate, but you would still face repercussions as the commisar or someone above you would likely have an issue with it. Also, while there isn't (so far as I am aware) a regulation against a formentioned relationships, it is probably implied in some other reg that jt isn't okaya.
Happy March, everyone! This day means a few things to me, but the only one presently relevant (subject to change) is that this marks me being able to make this.
Shipfest Sign-Ups!
For anyone who wasn't here last year, this is the thread where you opt-in for being shipped (and if you do not want to be shipped and are worried about it happening anyways, you'll be happy to know about that) and post your desired ships, the ones that do not include yourself unless you've talked it over with the other member/members of said ship - otherwise, it could be Pretty Creepy(tm) - and definitely any limits you have on being shipped, such as "not with men/women" or "not this particular thing" or "use THESE pronouns". You're also welcome to add suggestions, like saying you get stressed a lot so there's plenty of potential for Hurt/Comfort.
It would also be really, really handy to provide an actual description of yourself.
Cheers, all!
Or in other words, I'm shippable. I'm a gangly, pale creature with brown hair, blue eyes, one cataract, and a pair of perpetually crooked glasses. My pronouns are male, and I've absolutely no limits on how I'm shipped.
Can't think of any ships I didn't already mention last year, but I'll check back when I've had more time to think.
... is Ix and pre-patch Mercy. They've spent quite a lot of time together.
... What are your feelings on Pharah/Pharmercy?
Rolls right off, uh, right off the tongue.
Goodness me! Alrighty! I'm in and shippable--although I've been so silent for the past few months, I don't think any of our newbies have even encountered me. Hello to anyone I haven't met yet! No slash or genderbending for me, and please keep it SFA. For any newbies that (for some reason?) want to ship me and haven't encountered that term, SFA is SFW, but more so. Basically, keep it PG, please ^_^
As for the description, I'm female, average height, with dirty blonde hair that sometimes likes to be brown and sometimes likes to be a weird sort of reddish-brown. It curls a bit when it feels kind and gets weird waves when it feels grumpy. I have dark brown eyes, and fairly dark eyebrows that I like to call female-Gandalf brows (cf. the description of Gandalf in the Hobbit).
Also, I'm not quite buff like Agent Alleb (yet) but I'm actually starting to get a bit of definition in my arms! Yay for working out!
I don't have any ships yet. Gotta get back in the shipping mindset; we'll see what I come up with later on.
Also, Larfen, I think I still owe you payback for that me/Marty Robbins fic last year. It's on.
-Alleb
Like a sudden figure in the blackness, she appears, as if from nothing!
The ship is obvious: Alleb/education.
If you like hanging around it so much instead of us why don't you just marry it >:(
and yes you definitely owe me, I will be waiting.
Old beardy-nerdy obsessive nitpicker is all the description you’ll get.
HG
Don't ship me with hS, Neshomeh, Delta Juliette, or Tomash and we're good.
Suggestions: Only two things, and they are A) that I know a LOT about BDSM and B) I really, really, really want a "throbbing manhood". :D
Uhh...... I don't really want to give a description of my actual self so I guess for necessity, just pretend I look like the head on top of Maxe's me/ace attorney. :D

I'm a straight male, but eh. Details.
I've got fluffy brown hair, dull blue eyes, a short rust-colored beard, and and... well... I'm not strictly scrawny any more. I've put on a bit of weight, according to my mother. Not a whole lot, but enough so my ribs aren't visible any more.
I do not mind being paired with dudes.
Or genderbent.Or if Skar finally gets my boots off. Seriously my clodhoppers are gigantic.
It's all in good fun, right?
O-o-o-kay. *feels the call of shipping masochism* I'll contribute tomorrow.
-Twistey
You know you in no way have to do this, right? This is meant to be fun. If you don't want to be shipped, or if you don't want to write fics, you don't have to. In fact, if it makes you uncomfortable, you probably shouldn't.
You can also contribute ships (and stories!) even if you have opted out, if you want to. None of this is even *remotely* mandatory, and opting out of one part doesn't prevent you from joining in on other ways if you want to. Like the badfic games, this is meant to be purely for fun. You are *in no way* obligated to participate, nor will we *in any way* judge you for not doing so. I promise.
~Z
I also play stupid dress-up games for girls because of that same urge to have a little masochistic-but-actually-harmless fun.
So... my entry. I'd probably have to reveal my age to do that, but well, the fact that I'm cautious about revealing my age definitely does say something about my age. SFW, please, and if there is a such thing as SFW BDSM or SFW romantic role-playing, no on the first and sure on the second. I'm female, very very white (as far as I know, none of my heritage is non-white, but having heard that most people have at least a little, I think there might be some. I don't know.) I'm straight, but you can ship me with women or do gender-bending for extra shipping masochism.
Okay, further details on the appearance. Short wavy brown hair, hazel eyes, skinny. Signature outfit in drawings of myself is a black jacket over a red high-neck shirt, dark gray pants, and gray shoes or boots depending on how edgy I'm feeling. I'm easily flustered, especially with all the NSFW thoughts I've had lately. I get really bad ideas when I'm tired, but then I get really freaked out if I make a mistake (as hS knows). Feel free to rescue me from evil ghosts/demons/kings/mechsuited dictators/etc.
I don't have any ships to offer. I really don't ship real-life people unless there's been some sort of funny build-up to it (e.g. my friend agreed with me that Kylo Ren is hot and then was like "OH SHOOT I SAID THAT OUT LOUD" so I ship that.) I'll have to see what happens here, and I might jump on the bandwagon for another ship.
-Twistey
They're stuck behind the Parental Fun Control Wall together, you see. {= )
~Neshomeh
*nervous laughing* What? Why?
-Twistey
Never mind that I haven't spoken to you before my rejoining this community... ah well. Ships that Pass in the Night, I suppose.
I just got on break after manning a register for an hour and a half, that makes me feel a good deal better. Thanks!
The Shipfest is 100% SFW in any case. Anything else is... yeah. That'd be weird.
I'm about 180 cm tall, physically male, Asian, not particularly muscular. My hair is medium length (reaches eyes if not styled), and I wear contacts. Usually wears jeans and an unzipped black or grey hoodie. Shirts are usually in dark colours.
I'm fine with being shipped with anyone.
Go ahead and ship me with any people, software, or other things that seem like they might be funny to ship me with.
For a brief description, I'm male, not quite thin, and I've got short brown hair and thick glasses. For all we know, I'm secretly an AI (which I remember being done last year). I also own a dog collar but no dog ... draw your own vaguely lewd inferences.
Now, the fun part, ship suggestions:
- Calliope/Granz. If you've been in a voice chat with the two of them, you know what's up.
- Granz/Thoth. Since all the other permutations of Cal, Granz, and Thoth have been suggested, and this one's somewhat more plausible.
- ... Cal/Granz/Thoth, because decisions are hard.
- Delta/Ix, because of all the RP they were doing in the Discord before Ix left the chat.
- doctorlit/Skarmory. One's a zookeeper, the other's an intelligent bird, you do the math.
- If he shows up, Katlyn/Avarice - oldest Boarder/newest Boarder
- hS/Katlyn/Novastorme/... - Britship. Featuring copious amount of tea and creative uses for scones.
- Guardsman Tom/Akrinor/Hardic/... - Euroship.
- (Commander) Horvat/Guardsman Tom - Sure, that's BLAMworthy in the Guard, but when did that stop anyone?
- Phobos/Thoth/[people I can't remember] - Surely someone can turn a game of MtG into shipping?
and finally
- Thoth/parentheses - He's a LISPer, this should be obvious.
- Tomash
Granz, Thoth, and I legitimately spend hours each day cuddling one another. If ships involving us don't also involve cuddles, snuggles, nuzzles, huggles, the booping of snoots, or some combination of the above - at least a little - they are wildly inaccurate and will be deemed heresy.
(That or kissing one another on the forehead. It seems to be a comforting gesture to all of us.)
Or should I say Thoth?
Or should I say Tomash?
Or should I say Thoth?!
Because they're the same person, people! That's right, everybody, the truth is out, the truthbomb has dropped, the truthspear has been jabbed into the heart of lies.
You ever see Tomash and Thoth in VOIP with each other? It's like when a dog walks in front of a mirror and starts barking at itself. Being in there is like listening to a single man with two voices chatting to himself. It's like when people play a Pink Floyd album over The Wizard of Oz and it lines up perfectly. It's one of the most uncanny and terrifying experiences I've ever felt.
My theories are this:
- Thoth is a past Tomash whose presence in this timeline will undoubtedly cause it to collapse, extincting this universe.
- Thoth is Tomash's mini-me - a failed identical clone that turned out to just be a younger version of himself.
- Thoth and Tomash are a pair of AIs that were initially one AI that split apart into two of them and will eventually merge together into a superintelligence. I am fairly certain this is the plot to Neuromancer; I'm not sure.
Whichever theory proves correct, I'm shipping the hell out of it!
Tomash/Thoth - as I call it, the Neuromancer-plotship.
... against superior/subordinate relationships? (is how I was imagining this)
- Tomash
I don't think there is a reg stating that you can't have a relationship witha a subbordinate, but you would still face repercussions as the commisar or someone above you would likely have an issue with it. Also, while there isn't (so far as I am aware) a regulation against a formentioned relationships, it is probably implied in some other reg that jt isn't okaya.
ONE CARD. ONE CARD AND I WOULD HAVE BEATEN GRANZ.
Put on a good show though.
Do you have a very large cat, per chance? :P
Also, *waves from her very large pile of MtG cards*
It turns out I make a pretty good dog.
- Tomash
For appearance, I'm a 190 cm tall, blond, blue-eyed white man, not exactly muscled. I typically wear jeans and T-shirts, though with my screenname I'm wouldn't be surprised if I showed up in Guard Flak armour. Let's see if anybody cares about those details though.
No limits on who or what I'm willing to be shipped with.
Male, white, short and muscular (but more on the lean side), fluffy brownish hair with a (natural) silver sheen, blue-gray-green eyes. A little stubbly, but not too much. Looks about 16 years old. Usually wears graphic tees or a sweatshirt and jeans.
I'd rather not be shipped with women, thanks. This is one very gay guy. Other than that, feel free to go wild!
I don't really have any suggestions. I mean, I do get stressed a lot, so I guess Hurt/Comfort is quite a possible one, but just do whatever you want to do.
Have fun!
Female, understandably looks about like Dawn McKenna but currently with much shorter hair (it's...about chin length now? Hm. Basically, several feet shorter than Dawn's). Also, glasses. Feel free to make up the type; could be hilarious.
Bonus points for Canadian jokes/cliches; from past experience, there's a maple syrup loving moose living in my back yard back in Canada, and my polar bear army somehow turned into me being the polar bear empress (with no clue what the position entails. Odds are it's purely symbolic and ceremonial). I also might be able to turn into a polar bear or a polar bear made entirely out of fire; I haven't tried it in a while, though, and might be rusty.
Essentially: bonus points for Canadian jokes that get out of hand. I've made plenty of them myself, and they generally get a laugh from me.
Also dressing up as a minstrel for Purim this year. Make of that what you will.
~Z
PS: the Purim party RP will be happening this year; I just need a bit of time to set it up, which might take me a few days to get. We'll see.
Again. I'm a male, if you can find the picture from the last London gathering, I'm the tall one.
I am a he. Prefer the company of women, but as this is a ship thread, anything does go. Free reign is given.
Bonus points if you make me laugh.
Way way back, you wrote the Star Wars OFU. Much more recently, I've started playing about with various OFUs, and decided to pay a brief visit to it... only since the original seems to be gone, I had to make a few things up.
Anyway, long story short, Lord Haven is a thing, and you will deffo be wearing a Darth Sidious robe in any shipfics I write about you.
hS
PS: KaitLeto. She's been right here, waiting, all this time... [Swelling musical theme]
Kaitbos, the Hamilton Ship. Because they've never been satisfied. And there's a million things they haven't done. But just you wait. Just you wait. *grin*
~Neshomeh
Write day and night like we're running out of time...
-Kaitlyn, non-stop
I'm a he and hetero, but shipfest, so anything goes (unless, very unlikely, I find reasons to object).
I'm about six feet tall, slightly beneath the average weight for a man, got glasses, blue eyes and curly brown hair going on black.
...I am slightly concerned that my phone things "shippable" is a word.
She/her, Aro/ace but here for all the things because shipfest. Tallish, slimmish, blue-gray hair and blue-gray eyes and really enjoys aerials. Is trying to say "oh God" less and "Sweet Athena" more.
In terms of height and weight, I'm about average for a man. (Maybe a tad chubby if I'm being perfectly honest.) My skin is pretty white, but I don't think people would call me pale. I have short, wavy brown hair and bluish gray eyes. I shave, so I don't have any visible facial hair.
In terms of clothes, I usually wear jeans and a T-shirt with sneakers. If it's cold, I have a black jacket and a brown knit hat. I usually wear glasses.
All that being said, I don't care if you change something or do weird things to me in stories. This is just for people like me who like to have a model to work with.
This will be good.
Hey, ho, it's me, Larf. You can ship me any which way you want, the more stupid the more better.
As to descriptions of myself, I will leave you only with the hint that my Discord profile picture is of a ham sandwich. Make of that what you will.
Larf and a sandwich. But borrowing a specific part of Catch-22 to help write this monstrosity. You've been warned.
Or Scapefen? Stockscape? Grapescarf?
Either way, it is the most irreverent, self-deprecating ship ever. And might involve a ham sandwich in a corset, I don't even know. *grin*
~Neshomeh
I need a picture of a ham sandwich in a corset.
Well... Yes. I suppose I'm in. And I also am definitely still a living, breathing person. Definitely. And am not being slowly suffocated by the weight of Life Circumstances. :P
Buuut, anyways. Let's see... For my description: Imagine a human male. There. That is me. I am sure this is all the description anyone could ever ask for. However, if you insist on an alternate one, just imagine a different human (or non-human) male. Because shapeshifting is fun. And who knows, maybe Shipverse!Me can shapeshift anyways.
Let's see... I don't have any particular limits on shipping, and am game for a go with women, although to say that I have a slight preference for men would be an understatement. :P
As for ships... um... I'll get back to you on that. Except... I have one. For now.
Calliope/Thoth, because why not?
So, yes, I am in and super excited for this. Let's get this description rolling!
I'm around five-foot-eight (not short, dang it) with somewhat-wavy hair to my shoulderblades, which actually stick out a little bit, fun fact. Pretty pale skin, seeing as I never go outside if I can help it, plus eyes that are usually hazel-green, though sometimes they shift to hazel-brown. I have no idea why. Given that I'm about ten pounds under at last check, I can safely say I'm Kind Of A Twig.
As for clothes, jeans, tee, and unseasonally warm coat, plus a pair of purple glasses. It's possibly worth noting that I have no idea why everyone else thinks heels are hard to walk in because three-inch stiletto boots are easy as pie to me, though I do sneakers for everyday shenanigans.
For an alternate appearance, add in cat ears and tail, because being a cat is fun.
As for shipping limitations: no bloodplay, no shipping me with my brother Lore, and for the love of the gods no shipping me with a bloody weather pattern. But fruits and fursuits are totally fine.
And, of course... ships. All the ships. manic grinning I'll have to add those in a bit later, but they are coming, mark my words.
(I'm looking at you, Team Prospit. Be prepared.)
My poor friends. I do not have All The Ships, but I do have a few here.
Let me start this off with one that might seem slightly... odd to anyone that wasn't here for all of this: The Party, being Thoth, Granz, myself, and Mikel. We talked the proposal of this ship over before, don't worry. All of us got fairly close during this four-month-long roleplay (and yes, it really did take that long), in a lot of different ways. And, of course, this is to be divided into two sub-ships, only one of which I will hereby propose: Team Prospit, being Thoth and Granz. Because gods above have you heard these two ever? I'm serious, they are the cutest bloody thing.
Beyond that, I heartily recommend:
Granz/Every rulebook in existence because seriously, child, you have an Obsession;
Thoth/Code/Tomash what with how much they discuss it;
Horvat/Military Fortifications because he is fortifying this position;
And, of course, anything else I think of in about ten seconds. Because gods only know there will be more.
Yes you bloody well are. Because you are a wonderful, adorable person who has done more for me than the vast majority of any people I have ever met and that deserves to be shared.
Because it concerns me that you felt the need to specify "no bloodplay," I just want to remind everyone that this is meant to be lighthearted, goofy, PG-13-or-lower fun. Anything that would cross that line is off-limits for everyone, 'kay? Thanks.
~Neshomeh
Ship me with anyone or anything. There's no limits for me either.
Regarding my appearance: I'm a short, skinny-looking guy with long, thick, blond hair and a reddish goatee; I also crossdress occasionally, so a dress is as fitting as jeans and a shirt.
In for anything, as always. If for some reason you want an accurate description, there's decent pictures here.
hS
A'right. 18 year old white male with some stubble,shortish brown hair, brown eyes with a hint of grey to em. Tall, somewhat stocky. Red scar on back of left hand. Wears glasses with rectangular lenses. Favors khaki cargo pants and t-shirts, occasionally a grey polo shirt if I feel like being more formal. Male pronouns, heterosexual as far as I know, though I don't mind strictly platonic cuddling with others regardless of gender. Assuming I know them well enough.
Don't ship me with Thoth, or Horvat, or Avarice please. And if you want an alternate appearance/avatar to represent me, just use a generic mail-armored dwarf with axe and shield. Or a Dark Angels Company Master from 40k. That's all I think. Have fun?
For a description: Picture a bear. Now take away reason and accountability.
-Phobos
Imagine the anthropomorphic personification of a disinterested sigh. Now give it thick, wavy hair the colour of a dying field mouse and a frankly embarrassing pot belly. You are now in possession of an Scapegrace. Use it wisely, because Lord knows I don't. =]
As for recs, PhobohS and Ixomeh are always good ideas. Also corsets. Corsets work. =]
No limits. None. I'd prefer if you're going to ship me if you'd use they/them, because, well, they're my pronouns.
I am tall, with dirty blond hair (No longer green, sadly.) I'm sort-of skinny and below average weight, and have blue eyes. Nothing unusual, honestly.
Or on a beach or something. Get you some vitamin D!
... And that wasn't meant as a pun, but Shipfest, so I'm making it one. *eg*
~Neshomeh
I would love to see what people come up with, just don't ship me with Thoth. Other than that, go for it! I look forwards to seeing what pairings get made!
Thoth or 'Plith or anyone who knows what I look like, if you think this is off feel free to correct me, I am not to good at describing myself.
I am a gangly, almost six foot,(Maybe I am exactly six feet tall? Idk) guy with short "European hair" and have been told I have either a British or Australian accent. I am white, with a "traditionally noble" that is fairly large. I am not very fit, but have some muscle on me. Uhh... I have been told I have "Slenderlimbs" and some others have said I have a hansom face, but I am not sure how accurate these statements are. I have what looks like horizontal scars on my lower back as a result of growing. I have one of those bodies that make it hard to find pants that fit well.
I think that is it, but again, if you know what I look like, feel free to pitch in. Sorry if it wasn't very helpful.
If you actually care to bother with accurate descriptions in something this silly, have the Bath 2009 Gathering (Among Others) Report. It's a fun read and I haven't changed much. {= )
~Neshomeh
Tall, scrawny, brown hair, lots of tattoos and piercings.
May I also submit (should Nesh opt in) Neshomeh/Thoth in recognition of their first mission together?
Right! Uh... as for limits, please don't ship me with Horvat or Grundleplith. Beyond that, I'm open to anything. Not a TON of suggestions, I'm interested to see what you guys come up with.
As for descriptions, IRL I'm a somewhat overweight guy of average height. I have brown hair of varying degrees of curliness and a consistently high level of messiness. I should probably shave more, because the beginnings of what might someday be a beard are growing. I have brown eyes, and sometimes wear glasses.
As is traditional, feel free to totally ignore this, and give me long flowing blond hair or whatever.
If you want suggestions for completely inaccurate descriptions of me to use, I actually can help you there too! Some people like to depict me as a human with a bird head (as it is supposed to be for the god I named myself as). Some people also like to give me wings. I dunno how that started.
Also, Tomash suggested depicting me as a Space Marine a while back, so that's an option as well. Obviously, since it's the shipfest, you may want to ignore various more inconvenient aspects of this.
Cheers!
What about the pheromones that spehs mahrines give off? Those would help with shipping.
(This is not an actual thing.)
