Found a fanfiction, story or artwork here in the guild that you loved? Great! Talk about it and recommend them here! However, I am making a few rules:

1. They cannot be from outside the guild. If you have a recommendation from outside the guild you can post it in Recommendations (Outside Works). This thread here is to promote each other and to support the work of others here.

2. You cannot recommend your own works. While there is nothing wrong with having pride in what you do, this thread is a tool targeted to help out other members of this guild, not a place for self promotion.

3. No soliciting others to recommend your work. If they have seen/read your work and were happy with it you may politely ask to name drop you here. But harassing someone to suggest your piece is not acceptable.

4. Give us a reason why you like it! Describe what they did so we can get an idea of their work. While someone may be a good author, that doesn't mean their work is for everyone. So describe what you liked about it and what fandom it is for.

5. Links are helpful but optional. :3

6. Respect each other's choices. Not everyone is going to share the same belief as you on what they like and dislike. So please be respectful and do not be hateful towards those who do not share the same views and likes as you.

I'll start things off! So the piece I would like to recommend is Drifting Through Time by DaniRhapsody. This is drabble fanfiction that is a cross over between Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings/ Hobbit. Centered around Luna and her being able to travel to these different places in Middle Earth, it is a very riveting piece.

I must admit at first I had my reservations about the concept. Rarely do I find well written cross overs and even fewer with blends of fandoms that I like. But Dani did a wonderful job, very well written and it was interesting to read from Luna's perspective for a change. While I wish it could be a full blown fic instead of a drabble fic, I still greatly enjoyed it and I look forward to the next chapter installation that she may post.

Another fanfiction I would recommend is for any Dragon age fans. It's called The Bleeding Door and it is written by our own Vice Captain Violent Crow.

She takes a common theme and puts her own spin on it and makes it original. When you hear "thrown into a fandom" typically good things do not come to mind as they are usually written poorly, filled with cliches and no real explanation on how the character/author got there.

In Crow's story she gives a very feasible explanation and it even is used as an excellent tool to enhance the plot. She seamlessly ties in the first and second games and her characterization is incredible. It is a lengthy story and still seems to be very much on going. So if you want a long, engaging Dragon Age fanfiction, The Bleeding Door is for you!

A great recommendation that I have for all you YuYu Hakusho fans is our own Captain's fic, Melon Liquor. This story focuses on the theme of reincarnation, which is used to bring a woman from our universe to the YYH universe. I find this particular story entertaining because it's funny in a sadistic way to watch Midori struggle to keep quiet about all the nuances that she knows from the show in order to placate a suspicious Kurama.

Oh, Kurama... This is one of the best representations I've read of Kurama in a long, long time. Usually I'll find some weird, pervy Yoko-Kurama-combating-with-Shuichi-Minamino-for-control-over-his-body version, or the plain sadistic demon Kurama, or an overly feminine Kurama. Our Captain perfectly captures all of the pernicious qualities of the gentlemanly fox demon which makes me very happy since Kurama is a truly complicated character to write.
