Bonus Round 6

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.

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!

Rec 1: Mist (http://hso2012-r2s1.dreamwidth.org/4703.html)
Team: Aradia<3Feferi
Creator: Round2 Team Entry
Why I’m recommending it: The animated drawings depicted well the two sides, Fef and Aradia, and the plot, while moving slowly, really gave off well the feeling of confusion and desire to know of Fef as she struggled with the 'ghost' she kept seeing, whom she could only remember vaguely. The story itself kind of hurts, in a way, because of what they were and why they are trapped in a loop, but it is also rather sweet, because they are still trapped in a way that keeps them together, even though they cannot touch or interact. it's beautiful even though sad, and the writing itself merges well with the soft drawings, it's a pleasure to read and watch :D

Rec 2: The Puppet and the Brute (http://hso2012-r2s1.dreamwidth.org/1851.html)
Team: Bro<3Dad
Creator: Round2 Team Entry
Why I’m recommending it: seriously, it's quite heart breaking, because it narrates the story of two who couldn't be more different from each other, one with the longing to touch without destroy, the other with the lack of emotions to really feel, but it's beautiful how they dance around each other, interacting and getting progressively closer, how there is no successful deus ex machina to solve immediately all their problems but they are still willing to continue, because they want to keep on trying to find their happy place.

Rec 3: Untitled Gamzee<>Karkat(http://hs-olympics.dreamwidth.org/13513.html?thread=2530761#cmt2530761)
Team: Aradia<3Rose
Creator: galacticbishoujo (bonus round1)
Why I’m recommending it: while it's short, the descriptions are sweet and flowing, and the pace is gentle as it moves on, detailing Karkat while painting Gamzee's face. The closeness it's required to make this work is really felt despite the shortness, and the moirail-feel it gives... it's really sweet and adorable :D
