Rec 1:Round 3: SH3'S BL1ND, R3M3MB3R?!?! Team: Dave <3 Rose <3 Terezi Creator: Team Dave <3 Rose <3 Terezi Why I’m recommending it: The layout is amazing. It branches out to show both sides of the "gamble" and ends up connecting. It tells a story just from a few panels and manages to capture perfect characterization. The kiss panels are also iconic kiss scenes (Gustav Klimt's "The Kiss" and "V-J Day over Times Square"). The color palette matches so well to the layout. Overall, outstanding and creative.
Rec 2:Round 2: Hammer Horror Heuristics of the Haunted and Heinous Team: John <3 Rose Creator: Team John <3 Rose Why I’m recommending it:THEY MADE AN ENTIRE WEBSITE. The website layout comes straight out of the 90's which fits perfectly to the theme and the characters. It really does seem like a website John and Rose would create were they ghost hunters. It's adorable and funny. The more you click around, the more stuff you find. There's even a guestbook in which other characters show up. Witty. 4 stars.
Rec 3:Round 1: Flames Team: Slick <3< Snowman Creator: Team Slick <3< Snowman Why I’m recommending it: This is actually one of my favorite fics from all the main rounds. The characterization between Slick and Snowman is spot-on. The pacing is great, the atmosphere is strong, and the pairing is, of course, dynamic. Slick's internal monologue compliments the chaos of the scene unfolding around him and he and Snowman end up creating their own private space in between it all.
