Rec Round 2

Rec Round 2

Congrats on making it through the through all the Bonus Rounds, and welcome to the Rec Round 2, where you can recommend BR Fills that have been created!

Rec Round 2 will close on August 24th at 11:59PM PT (23:59 PT).

This Round is officially CLOSED, but it is perpetually open for new fills.

Rules

A rec post must have at least one fill recommended, but can have as many as you want. There should be at least two sentences describing why your recc-ing the fill/why it’s awesome.

You don’t need permission to rec 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. You’re more than welcome to rec fills to your own prompts!

That being said, the fills that you rec do not have to have been written for your own prompts.

You may recommend fills from any of the previous BRs.

Minors will not be allowed to rec NSFW fills.

Format

Reply to this post with a comment to participate. The header of your comment should be FILL: [Team Name]

For your convenience, here’s a copy/paste box (which has been adapted from SASO’s rec round):

(Please delete all text in parentheses as you go. LEAVE THE HTML ALONE or the bonus round scoring program can't parse your comment. Don't forget a comment subject!) <strong>Title:</strong> (if the author provided a title, you can write it here. If not, identify the work, even if it's as simple as "The Jurassic Park AU" or "Untitled Poem") <strong>URL:</strong> (copy the direct link to the comment from the "link" area in Dreamwidth's comment header) <strong>Creator(s):</strong> (the dreamwidth handle of the creator, which you can turn into a link by using the code <user name="dw_username">) <strong>Rating:</strong> (Include the original maturity rating for this fill) <strong>Ship/Character:</strong> (the ship/character this work is focused on. "&" indicates a platonic relationship, "/" is non-platonic.) <strong>Fandom:</strong> (what fandom the ship is from) <strong>Major Tags:</strong> (https://sportsfest.dreamwidth.org/3623.html, when applicable; if this work doesn't require major tags, write "None" here.) <strong>Additional Tags:</strong> (anything else that you, the rec-er, feel requires tagging; can include jokey tumblr-style tags here; may also pull from the "Additional Tags" list from the URL above, if applicable; otherwise, write "None" here.) <strong>Why is this work awesome?:</strong> (Include at least two coherent sentences in non-keysmash words, although a good keysmash is always allowed)

Scoring

Each rec is worth 5 points per fill, limited to 10 times the number of team members (10n). You are scored via the number of posts, not the number of recs within each post. (i.e. each post is equal to one fill, regardless of the number of recs the post contains.)

This number is much higher than the recommended commenting threshold for Comment Round - additional comments above the recommended workload count as bonus points! For information on the recommended number of comments to reach a medal threshold, see the SportsFest Scoring Information.

Etc.

If the original fill was tagged with a major tag, it should be reflected in the rec of that fill.

To help search for fills, you might want to use the Sportsfest Prompt/Fill Database (created by Icie!)

For your convenience, here are links to Bonus Round 1, Bonus Round 2, Bonus Round 3, and Bonus Round 4 (and Bonus Round 0!)

Contact the mods if you have questions or concerns!

It’s like the perfect introspective and very true to both characters. It’s very lovely and soft and you can feel the emotions being portrayed. Plus, Jun trying to get Ryou to blush is hilarious.

The characterizations in this fill are AMAZING. From cold and slightly oblivious Miyuki, to protective Kuramochi. Protective Mochi is the best Mochi! You can tell how much Mochi wants to make sure that Miyuki knows there’s nothing wrong with it. It’s good little piece about their friendship
