Bonus Round 7: Recs

[referees]

You've created so much during this event, so here's a round to celebrate each other's achievements!

This round is CLOSED as of 7PM on August 24 EDT. Late fills may be posted, but they will not receive points.

RULES

• Recommend at least three fanworks from main or bonus rounds. Your recommendations don’t have to be connected in any way, and you do not need permission to recommend a work.
• Don't rec your own work. You can recommend things created by your own team, but please spread the love to other teams too.
• Each recommendation must include at least two sentences explaining why that fanwork is awesome. Please use the format specified below.
• You may recommend as many works as you like, as long as they are posted separately in groups of at least three.
• There will be no prompts for this round. Simply post each fill/recommendation list as a comment in response to this post.
• Remember to follow the general bonus round rules, outlined here.

FORMAT

Bonus round shenanigans all happen in the comments below. Brand-new works only, please.

Format your comment in the following way:

If FILLING (all teams):

FILL: TEAM [YOUR SHIP] Replace [YOUR SHIP] with the name of the team you belong to Write it exactly as it appears on the team roster (without brackets) or your team will not receive points Copy and paste the following form into a comment and fill it out. Delete things in brackets, and leave the HTML alone. <b>Title:</b> <b>URL:</b> <b>Creator(s):</b> <b>Rating:</b> <b>Major Tags:</b> <b>Why is this work awesome?:</b> -- <b>Title:</b> <b>URL:</b> <b>Creator(s):</b> <b>Rating:</b> <b>Major Tags:</b> <b>Why is this work awesome?:</b> -- <b>Title:</b> <b>URL:</b> <b>Creator(s):</b> <b>Rating:</b> <b>Major Tags:</b> <b>Why is this work awesome?:</b> [you can copy-and-paste this format to include more recs in your comment if you'd like.]

Posts not using this format will be understood to be unofficial discussion posts, regardless of what they contain. They, like all comments in this community, are subject to the code of conduct.

SCORING

These numbers apply to your team as a whole, not each individual teammate. Make as many fills as you want!

For fills:

First 3 fills by any member of your team: 20 points each
Fills 4-10: 10 points each
Fills 11-20: 5 points each
Fills 21+: 2 points each

All scored content must be created new for this round.

Etc.

If you're hunting through the prompts looking for what to fill, a good trick is to view top-level comments only.

Have a question? Check The FAQ first. If you still need help, feel free to contact the mods. Happy fanworking!

Why is this work awesome?: I love the switch to/from close-up shots in this one, and the way it seems to work forward from their time as kids. The strength and simplicity of the text is really nice! This really brings home those childhood friends/people who are their own but who also support each other vibes :D

Why is this work awesome?: The sentences here are very straightforward, but I'm saying that if a compliment, if that makes sense? It's more that the rhythm is more of a march than a melody, and, well, Ode to Joy -- it fits that song perfectly. There's something very magnetic about the steady roll of Ashikiba's thoughts and the steady emotion that pulls them along.

Why is this work awesome?: Ashikiba is so lovely in this fic -- her thoughts and emotions are written with a really nice depth to them <3 It's so good to read her perspective on Teshima and what he's doing over at Souhoku, and the ending is so good -- really bittersweet. (Also, Doubashi is awesome.)

thank you!! i've spent too much time thinking abt Ashikiba, probably, but i find characters like Doubashi difficult so-- i'm glad you liked them both.

(i actually ended up incorporating this scene into a fic i'd left unfinished since last year if you, want to read more :') http://archiveofourown.org/works/7282744)
