Fandom Snowflake 2018 #3: We Recommend To You

[silveradept]

In your own space, post recs for at least three fanworks that you did not create.

This is one of the parts where I'm glad the challenge is inclusive of all sorts of fanwork, because if it were straight fic or art recommendations, I wouldn't get to tell all y'all about amarie24's awesome Avatar: the Last Airbender analysis as my first recommendation. It gets into the heart and and the head scratching, and really takes time to paint the world created and pay attention to the details that one might overlook on a first watch. We occasionally get spoilery, but I'd still recommend it for fans and for anyone who has heard of the shows, but never got around to watching them. The updates are sporadic, but just like a good fanfic, they get you to savor them all the more.

Number two is a gift I got for Once Upon A Fic this year, where I left a very humble prompt - what would have happened had Gawain taken up Lady Bertilak's offer for sex during Sir Gawain and the Green Knight? In response, I got Wynter Wakeneth and it was fabulous all the way around and back again, with the kind of details inside that make my inner medievalist smile and sing. It's a beauty.

Number three is also from Once Upon A Fic, from 2016, and it indirectly helped me write my entry for 2017. Maneki-Neko takes the story of The Boy Who Drew Cats abs retells it...for Chapter 1. Chapter 2 is what happens when the descendants get into programming, and it turns out there's still goblin rats out there in the world. I won't spoil anything any further, but I highly recommend you read it.

There's three recommendations for you, to join the symphony of other worlds being recommended today. I hope you find something good, whether from my recommendations or someone else's.

That AtLA analysis looks really interesting--AtLA is one of my favourite works to look at through that lens, because it's such a rich world. Thank you for posting it.

You're welcome - the author could use some more commentators.

Hmm. I'll keep that in mind.

Am quietly rolling in the ATLA stuff and being mildly sad that I suspect i am going to hit the (current?) end far too soon.

Also queueing a rewatch. :)

Always available to talk about it if you're interested.
