Fandom Snowflake Challenge, Day 2
Day 3
In your own space, post a rec for at least three fanworks that you did not create. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so. See if you can rec fanworks that are less likely to be praised: tiny fandoms, rare pairings, fanworks other than stories, lesser-known kinks or tropes. Find fanworks that have few to no comments, or creators new to a particular fandom who maybe aren't well known or appreciated. Appreciate them.
A Necklace of Broken Promises and Regrets, by Kaesa--This is a Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell fic. The author does a wonderful job of staying consistent with the style and tone of the original work. I particularly love that she includes the expository footnotes that were peppered throughout JS+MN, as well as the dry humor of some of her lines. (For example, "No matter how well-supported Norrell's arguments were and how extensive his reading on the subject of naiads, dryads, and similar creatures, it turned out that bog-spirits did not enjoy being told that they were fictional.")
The Girl in the Water, by Senri--For Hayao Miyazaki's film Spirited Away. It was always my favorite of the various Miyazaki movies, and I was thrilled to find that there was fanfic for it. I love the author's take on an older Chihiro and on how her experiences in Spirited Away (particularly her friendship with Haku) stay in the back of her mind as she grows up.
"It's Not Stockholm Syndrome" She Thinks, by Wyntermute--For Bleach, and honestly it's probably the best fanfic I've ever read for that series. The author does such an amazing job of capturing Orihime's voice and thought patterns. The story's written in first-person POV, and it really feels like Orihime's talking to the reader.
Eurydice, by Klitch--For Tsubasa. This fic does an amazing job with world-building. I really love the central idea of the world the characters are on, and the way the author uses it to build the relationship between two of the characters in the series. (It does contain slashy implications, though, so beware if you don't like that sort of thing.)
