Recs

Hey, shippers! This is the last bonus round, which we’re all very sad about. So let’s talk about some of the awesome stuff created throughout the HSO!

Rules

1. Rec at least three fanworks from the main or bonus rounds! They do not have to be connected to each other in any way.


2. You may not recommend material created by members of your own team.


3. Each recommendation must include at least three full sentences about why it’s awesome. Please use the format specified below.


4. You may recommend as many sets as you like, so long as each set has at least three recs in it.

Title & Rec Format
If you are doing a fill, use this format in your title.
FILL: TEAM [YOUR SHIP]
Replace [YOUR SHIP] with the name of the team YOU belong to; please use the characters and quadrant, not whatever portmanteau or nickname you've come up with.
If your team name is not in this format and in the title we cannot guarantee that it will be counted.

The content of the post should be in this format (extend as necessary):
<b>Rec 1:</b> (title) <b>Team:</b> (the team the creator belongs to) <b>Creator:</b> <b>Why I’m recommending it:</b> (please be as specific and descriptive as possible!) <b>Rec 2:</b> (Title) <b>Team:</b> (the team the creator belongs to) <b>Creator:</b> <b>Why I’m recommending it:</b> (please be as specific and descriptive as possible!) <b>Rec 3:</b> (Title) <b>Team:</b> (the team the creator belongs to) <b>Creator:</b> <b>Why I’m recommending it:</b> (please be as specific and descriptive as possible!)

Posts not using this format in the title will be understood to be unofficial discussion posts, no matter what they contain. They, like all comments on the comm, are subject to the Wank Policy.

Rec 1: Untitled Ψiioniic ♥/♠ Her Imperious Condescension
Team: Team Eridan<>Rose
Creator: astrophrenia
Why I’m recommending it: BR1 inspired a lot of people to play around not only with different genres, but also format. The prompt here was to mix found poetry and fairy tales. The result is a wonderful fusion of styles. It uses excerpts from Homestuck along with classic excerpts from Grimm and modern popular music to create one unified whole.

Rec 2: Melted Snowman Tutorial (Slick ♠ Snowman)
Team: Team Parcelpyxis
Creator: zivlok
Why I’m recommending it: More found poetry, here from a source you wouldn't have thought of using for a horror prompt: a recipe. Through changing the pacing the words change from an innocent activity for kids to a truly creepy love poem to pain. The effect is a little like glancing something out of the corner of your eye. The fact you can't see it clearly makes it almost more horrible.

Rec 3: Untitled Doc Scratch ♥ Ms. Paint
Team: Team Aradia<>Dave
Creator: eremiticantiquarian
Why I’m recommending it: An unusual pairing to be sure, but this story makes it work. Scratch is a man of many words, too many to be honest, and the connection to propaganda speech is clear one. Here Scratch's bombastic tone is used to sing the praises of the humble Ms. Paint in an attempt at seduction. The result is as hilariously tongue in cheek as you'd expect.
