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.

Comments

FILL: TEAM BRO<3GRANDPA

[macca44552]

Rec 1: Up the Creek Without a Paddle
Team: Dirk<3Jane
Creator: Main Round 1 Entry
Why I’m recommending it: Enjoyable all the way through. Dirk and Jane are absolutely adorable, and Jane's emotional anxieties were practically tangible--it was hard not to feel sympathy for the girl! The woods setting was very effective--there was Jane, Dirk, and nowhere to run from their feelings. The interactions were believable and, I'll say it again, adorable. All in all, very cute and very fun to read.

Rec 2: The Chance to Abscond
Team: Grand Highblood <3< Summoner
Creator: Main Round 1 Entry
Why I’m recommending it: The atmosphere of this piece is astounding. Not to mention the compelling characterization of the two lead characters, as well as the intriguing chemistry between them (I loved the author's take on kismessitude). The most noteworthy thing about this piece, though, is definitely the art. It's unique, beautiful, and fits the words so well.

Rec 3: Untitled
Team: Equius <3 Eridan
Creator: Main Round 1 Entry
Why I’m recommending it: World building. So much world building, so many details and feelings and yes. Equius' point of view is a joy to read--he's older, more mature, and yet still has some of the quirks we'd associate with "current" Equius. Eridan's characterization is just as excellent--aged, but still recognizable. The gambling theme was incorporated both literally and metaphorically, which is something that I was rather pleased with.
