Bonus Round 6: Recs

Bonus Round 6: Recs


SASO 2015 is over, but this round is perpetually open to new fills (no new prompts).

All good things must come to an end, and that includes the SASO. In this last bonus round, let's all relax and celebrate each other's achievements!

(Don't forget about the "Encore" bonus round either!)

This round ends at 7PM on August 22 EDT. Countdown Timer.


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.


FORMAT
Bonus round shenanigans all happen in the comments below.

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
  • Copy and paste the following form into a comment and fill it out. Delete things in brackets, and leave the HTML alone.


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 prompts/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



Etc.
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?: there’s a real sense of heightened drama here that i love *__*; it’s very sad, and very? tragic to see kageyama follow a path i’m yelling at him not to take LOL hsdfhf [personal profile] psiten always puts out great work but this is a real stunner, and the X/1999 hook just brought back everything for me. it functions as a really good fusion, too: the inherent laws of the borrowed universe are still in place, the character interactions are still intact, and that impending sense of doom is really really well-represented throughout !!! pls. break your heart with this :’)

Why is this work awesome?: ree i’m sorry but i mean i’m also really not because this made me laugh so hard i think i broke a rib or two. i lost it at you’re not even a cat because never in my wildest dreams did i think that 1) someone would fill this 2) would fill it so well 3) be the dw user ennoshita. every piece of dialogue here is something that’s entirely believable, and the kuroo’s internal monologue was so funny !!! i was just. kind of dying with him by laughing at him. 10/10 would read again.

Why is this work awesome?: this is, in three precise panels, everything i love about iwaoi. look at how Done iwa-chan looks. look at how impressed oikawa is with himself. if i could, i would tattoo iwa-chan’s expression on my face for i am as equally Done with him. lmao but really, the way the comic is presented, the way the joke is laid out, it’s pretty genius ^^v

Why is this work awesome?: I BELIEVE IN THIS PICTURE. i believe in this picture like nothing else, because you cannot look me in the eye and tell me that bokuto koutarou does not cry like baby when jack dies and that kuroo tetsurou doesn’t blubber when he sinks underwater. like. dude. dude. look at how dumb they look. ♥

Why is this work awesome?: honestly sometimes you think about alternate universes and half the joy is seeing if those character dynamics you love remain the same. in this case, it’s definitely that--it’s even better since the subversion kind of sneaks up on you. also i mean the basukes are so weird would it really surprise you if they were werewolves?? jfc

Why is this work awesome?: hey, so, this fill hurt me a lot actually and i was incoherent for a while about it because there is nothing in this world that cuts to me so quickly like emoshinki. also chiharu does, as always, her best with dialogue so in-character it makes me angry. it does. look at how believable these lines are?? but it’s also more than banter, there’s a depth to this fill here that just pulls you in that i love. also i’d like to point out here the minami-chan character who has a backstory so detailed and great that i’m going to start pulling my hair out

Why is this work awesome?: hoLD THE PHONE. STOP THE CLOCKS. this fill destroyed me in a way that i never saw coming. every single word in here is well-crafted in its placement and every single phrase ripped me apart in its emotional intensity. holy. i dropped my phone and screamed into my hands when i read it. are there people in your life so talented it infuriates you??? does oikawa love or hate kageyama tobio?????? u g h im like exhausted just reading this fill again because it takes so much from me. this kind of poetry takes a physical toll on me, and i would rather be punched. why does it hurt so much? why is it so good? aghghghh

Why is this work awesome?: HEY SO iwakin is like my guilty-pleasure puppy love seijou ship and cap is so good with this kind of feelings thing that i was clutching my heart while reading it. and it’s so *__* long *____* !!!! seijou is so well-represented here but the crown jewel really is how kindaichi stumbles through affection and pining and respect and how iwa-chan is so blind. iwa-chan, please. that ending scene was so >Title: “don’t go.”

Why is this work awesome?: i feel like it’s my saso-bound duty to rec at least one of alex’s works because honest to god the real mvp, you guys. that little middle bit where akashi’s fingers curl up is Everything to me, because i’m so totally rooting for these two and i want nijimura to turn around and it’s so atmospheric, these colors and how nijimura looks straight ahead and akashi’s head is bowed. godddd JUST KISS sflhfsk

Why is this work awesome?: i was honestly blown away by kiriska’s talent because it’s one thing to make a song and another thing to sing but to do it this well was honestly something that brought so much joy!!!!! i’m not worthy tbh u___u; i played this file a lot more than i should have because i was kind of a creep and i really liked so many elements of this. i mean, honestly, it’s not even a remix. it’s just an entirely wonderful, self-contained object of art that i really liked *__*;;; ♥ it’s well-sung, well-written, and ^^v hurt me so good, please give it a listen if you can.
