Bonus Round 6

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.

FILL: TEAM BRO<3GRANDPA

[macca44552]

Rec 1: Dullahan Dave and Leanan Sidhe Aradia
Team: Aradia<3Dave
Creator: Main Round 2 Entry
Why I’m recommending it: Just look at it. The art is gorgeous--the coloring, the details, the atmosphere, everything. I especially adore Dave's suit of armor and Aradia's flower headpiece. Oh, and the eyes are great, especially the expression within Dave's. This piece is moody, creepy, and a very, very solid entry.

Rec 2: Chronicle 1265
Team: John<3Vriska
Creator: Main Round 2 Entry
Why I’m recommending it: I was completely blown away by this fic. The historical AU setting was so fucking brilliant, and, oddly enough, it gelled with Vriska and John's characters seamlessly. The imagery was wonderful (this writer sure knows how to paint with words), and the decision to tell the story through journal entries was great. And Vriska. Her characterization was spot-on and magnetic--the best characterization I've read in awhile, actually. A lot of effort went into this piece and it shows. Well done.

Rec 3: From My Heart And From My Hand
Team: Dave <3< Gamzee
Creator: Main Round 2 Entry
Why I’m recommending it: Easily the creepiest and most chilling round 2 entry! Dave's point of view is almost torturous to read because of, well, because of what Gamzee's done to him. I was a wreck with sympathy and horror. Dave's descriptive narration was haunting, and Gamzee was characterized in his suitably psychopathic state. Kanaya made an appearance as well but, gah, everything was just so twisted. This was a powerful spin on the kismesis relationship, one that I won't be forgetting for quite some time. All I can say is that I'm so glad that Dave got that tiger.

Thank you so much for the rec for Chronicle 1265. I was so insecure about that entry...
