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.

First 5 entries in each post: 30 (per entry)
Entries 6-10 in each post: 20 (per entry)

Comments

FILL: TEAM JOHN<3ROSE

[para_normally]

Rec 1: Flames
Team: Slick♠Snowman
Creator: Round 1 Team Entry
Why I’m recommending it: Oh wow wow wow WHAT perfect, perfect characterization of - EVERYONE, but especially the central pairing; their conversation in this fic is too perfect and too them and too, well, downright sexy to even be legal. The author breathed so much life into Midnight City that the end only left me wanting more, jeez. If you haven't read this fic by some chance, and don't already LOVE Sn0wman... be prepared to gain a whole new appreciation for her and for this pairing.

Rec 2: The Weather in Europe
Team: Dad<3Roxy
Creator: Round 1 Team Entry
Why I’m recommending it: I was blown away by how lovely and delicately melancholy and emotional this entry was. It falls very, very firmly into the "I don't even ship this... or do I after all?" category. The author has an EXCELLENT handle on both Dad and Roxy, and I really felt for Dad being torn with guilt and honest confusion between his daughter's young friend and the clever, worldly lady she becomes by night and in secret.

Rec 3: Says the Dragon to the Mama Cat
Team: Team Nepeta<3Terezi
Creator: Round 1 Team Entry
Why I’m recommending it: This comic is FRUSTRATINGLY adorable. The art style is really vivid and expressive, the colours are vibrant and rich and varied, and the story... aaaah I cannot help but fall for a story that centres around Nepeta and Terezi LARPing together! (Especially one that has such a sweet ending!)
