Rec 1: Not Lookin' At the Floorbutt
Team: Autoresponder<3Roxy
Creator: Collab Round
Why I’m recommending it: I made sure I did every ending of this! It was super simple, and really imaginative. I loved the story behind this, and it was so funny. I was laughing the whole time. My favorite part was the omegle part because that was super hilarious poor Auto omfg

Rec 2: turn left
Team: Dave<3Rose
Creator: Main Round 3 entry
Why I’m recommending it: Whoa, it feels like I did this already but I don't remember it but whatever. I loved this TO DEATH it was so funny, and sad at the same time. It was just hilarious and romantic how he did with the pizza! At the end my heart like exploded....

Rec 3: Beneath the Surface
Team: Eridan<3Sollux
Creator: Main Round 3 entry
Why I’m recommending it: Whoa, so I was shocked how much I like this. I feel like mentioning why is a thing I need to do. I had this pairing tumblr saviored, I really dislike it? And while I came in with a no bias policy on my part, and I was trying really hard to keep that up I wasn't sure I could get rid of it completely. I read it because I said I would be no biased. (There's a reason for me having it blocked, a very personal issue that has very little to do with the fictional characters or the pairings) Of course, hell was I surprised when I ended up voting for it in the end! I was really happy, I enjoyed this immensely and it was perfect to a T. I went back and told everyone (and tumblr) how much I liked it (everyone looked at me like I grew ten heads). The characterization was literally perfect, the story was simple and great. I enjoyed how Sollux realized he was being a douche, and how Eridan sort of opens up to him and then they're friends and wow it was so perfect. I'm extremely happy, and excited I enjoyed this whoa. The point of me mentioning the part about it being blocked is to just show you how wonderful this is. If I can admit that this is one of the best, well characterized, beautiful writings I've read in the entire HSO then it seriously is and everyone needs to go read it right now ASAP if they haven't. I can write a whole essay on this, my God did I love this I literally am going to marry it. Whoa, I hope it didn't hurt anyones feelings that I mentioned that, like I said it was a big personal reason (reminding me of people I know and it's bad bad memories, and therefor I just didn't think I could enjoy anything with them in it, whoa I'm glad I was wrong wow hugs and kisses all of you).
If you wrote this or helped drew these pictures I hope you feel proud of yourselves it was so great!

I was the artist for the Eridan<3Sollux entry you rec'd and even though full credit for the flawless story, characterization and execution definitely goes to the writer, I am completely flattered to have been any part of that experience for you. Just wow, she's going to be so thrilled to read this!
