People wanted another one, so...
PANFANDOM REC MEME
"I ship it!"
"I want fic!"
"I want art!"
"I don't care what it is, but I want it!"
"Where's the fandom?"
Rec meme! You ask for recs, and others provide (or fill!).
Maybe there's something you'd really like to see but you can't find it. Why not ask for help? It might be out there! Or maybe there's something you really loved reading and you want someone to geek over it with. Why not rec it to someone else? Maybe they'll love it too! Who knows, someone out there might be looking for something that sounds exactly like someone you know just created.
Don't feel bad about reccing your own stuff, either! Apparently someone else wants to see it, right?
TEXTBOX (optional, dont worry):
Regular post will be up at the usual time!

(Anonymous) 2012-08-19 04:48 pm (UTC)(link)It's about a young girl who transfers to a British boarding school and has strange things happen to her. (But in a good way!)
It's written for all audiences, and the art starts a little wonky but I promise you the quality goes up so hard that later chapters look like they were drawn by a different person, that's how much it improved!
(And I personally think that the earlier chapters had good composition and neat color choices, so you get used to the style while it lasts.)
It's published in print too (there are 3 volumes right now, although the 2nd is out of print temporarily and the author is waiting for that to get solved), with extra art and very pretty and all, but you can also read it all for free on the website:

(Anonymous) 2012-08-19 06:36 pm (UTC)(link)I think people don't discuss some of the plot for fear of spoilers? But anyway, yeah, there are several mythological characters and figures and even gods showing up from time to time, and they all fit together in the story somehow.
Another thing to watch out for is that the author, besides being interested in mythology, seems to have knowledge of alchemy symbols and symbolism in general, and if you pay attention to the details you'll notice he sneaks in things to hint on the true nature or hidden aspects of some characters, and sometimes even hints of where the plot might go.
It's more focused on characterization than on plot, so it feels light-hearted or even slow-paced sometimes, but it's the kind of story that works on different levels depending on what you're looking for in it, and it's one of those where you can re-read from the beginning and catch on details and connections that you might not have noticed the first time.
