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
- Rec at least three fanworks from the main or bonus rounds! They do not have to be connected to each other in any way.
- You may not recommend material created by members of your own team.
- Each recommendation must include at least three full sentences about why it’s awesome. Please use the format specified below.
- 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.
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):
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.
Scoring
For fills (as stated here):
First 5 entries in each post: 30 (per entry)
Entries 6-10 in each post: 20 (per entry)
Entries 11-15 in each post: 10 (per entry)
Entries 16+ in each post: 5 (per entry)
If you have any questions, please ask them at the FAQ post here, or email them to us (homestuck.shipping at gmail). Otherwise, we cannot guarantee that we will see them in a timely fashion!
FILL: TEAM DIRK<3JAKE<3JANE<3ROXY
Rec 1: Icing On Top
Team: Gamzee♦Karkat
Creator: rex
Why I’m recommending it: This is the sweetest post-apocalyptic fic I've seen in a while. It's not all world-is-gone angst, they just sort of go on as well as they can and raid abandoned buildings and stuff. I also love how it's told in such a concise form but still reads as a progression perfectly fine. And I'm a sucker for fics where Dirk is the one who learns how to do something, instead of him teaching everyone. Jane teaches him how to make cake!
Rec 2: Illegitimi non carborundum
Team: Dave♥Rose♥Terezi
Creator: megaparsecs
Why I’m recommending it: I want about ten thousand more words of this AU. The emotion is palpable here. I want to know all about Jane's political campaign into office and all the other assassination attempts. I want to know about Dirk as her right hand man, pulling the strings and making things easier on her, but not so easy that she doesn't stumble on occasion. I am a little distraught that I will likely never get those words unless I write them myself.
Rec 3: untitled
Team: Rose♥Roxy
Creator: eclecticillustrator
Why I’m recommending it: This is a dark piece of art right here. Jane with the tiaratop on wishing she could take it off, but it seems the Batterwitch has done something to her that makes taking it off actually dangerous to her health. D: Talk about scary. Dirk is trying to find a way around that. I doubt Dirk is going to find a way to fix this without freaking out somewhere Jane can't see him freak out.
