Welcome to The Last Ship Sailing Round II!

How to Sign Up


1. Sign up in the LSS Tavern as a Crewmate!

2. Join together with other Crewmates in the Tavern to assemble a full Crew. A full Crew consist of Three-Five Crewmates.

3. Elect a Captain. A Captain is agreed upon by all Crewmates. They create the Ship Roleplay and OOC thread for the Crew. They will post in the Ship Log weekly to update the Ship's progress.

4. Your Captain creates a Ship Story Thread and a Ship OOC Thread.

5. Sign your Ship up at the LSS Port.


Before The Competition Starts


Before the competition starts, it is allowed and encouraged to:
  • Have a concrete story idea and synopsis that all Crewmates have agreed upon.
  • Have a full roster of characters from all Crewmates, including competed Character Profiles.
  • Have plotted and outlined to your Crew's content.
Any in-story writing before the competition starts is not allowed.


Once The Competition Starts


Your Ship's Mission: write 2500 words a week as a Crew.

If a Ship fails to complete their Mission, the Ship will have a one-time Lifeboat. The Crew must write 4000 words in the next week to continue in the competition.

If a Ship does not accomplish the Lifeboat Mission or does not accomplish the regular Mission after using the Lifeboat, it will become a Ghost Ship. Ghost Ships are still encouraged to write, but they are out of the competition.

This is a competition about collaboration. So, if a Crewmate does not write for two weeks in a row, they will become a Ghost. As a Ghost, they may still contribute to the story, but their writing will not count towards the weekly 2500 word goal.
