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
- 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 DAVE<3JOHN
For some reason all the poetry was concentrated in this last round...
Rec 1: A Troll's Primer on the Human Alphabet
Team: Dirk<3Equius
Creator:
Why I’m recommending it: NOTE THAT THIS IS NSFW! I was torn between putting this with my art recs or my poetry recs because both the art and the poem itself are amazing! Dirk and Equius are both perfectly in character, with Equius's well written poem and Dirk's quips on the sides of the pages. The whole thing is really brilliant, with the style of it as a book being executed in a way that's really cute.
Rec 2: rEMEM8ER?
Team: Tavros<3Vriska
Creator:
Why I’m recommending it: This fill is a phenomenal example of using canon really well in an entry. It's heartbreaking seeing Tavros and Vriska become the mess of Tavrisprite, and this poem captures it really well. It's very short and simple, yet it exemplifies the prompt through the usage of canon.
Rec 3: By Your Light
Team: Alpha!Dave<3Alpha!Rose
Creator:
Why I’m recommending it: The style of this fill is incredibly unique, both in the art and in the poetry. Both styles are very sophisticated and gorgeous. The fact that this team made both a sestina and an image that can be viewed in 3D work in one fill and work well is really unique. It's all just so very cool and different from anything else.
Rec 4: There Are Lights in the Clouds
Team: John<3Rose
Creator:
Why I’m recommending it: This piece begins with a comic that establishes it all really well, managing to go from a lighthearted mood to a dark one very effectively. The style of the poem is simple, yet it conveys both points of view extremely well. Seeing what John and Rose are left with after the end of the game is heartbreaking, but seeing them support each other in what's left is great, and this poem shows that well.
