Fanworks Recs - 7 Total
Notes/Babbling: I'm going to do something a little bit different from usual--rec'ing the webcomics I like to read. Okay, technically they're not fanworks, as they're original works, but they're close enough that I don't really care. ^_~ I don't get to spend as much time reading webcomics as I would like, nor do I keep up with them as much as I would like, but the following comics kept me up all night tearing through the archives when I first stumbled over them.
Series: none, these are all original comics
- Sluggy Freelance [ Webcomic ] - Hilarious, hilarious, hilarious is what this comic is--and it's also created some of the best characters I've seen in a webcomic. The author also updates regularily, pretty much a new strip every day, which makes this one such a treat to follow and get sucked into if you've got a few months to catch up on. There's a reason I'm putting it first on the list. ^_~ (Straight, but that's not really the point of the comic.)
- Arcana [ Webcomic ] - I stumbled over this webcomic because I was looking for Yami no Matsuei fanart and decided to give the artist's original webcomic a shot because the art is gorgeous and because the characters kind of looked like Tsuzuki and Hisoka. It was an interesting sort of Elseworlds in a way, but I quickly (as I spent a few hours combing through everything she had done so far) grew to like the characters for themselves as well as continuing to marvel over the gorgeous art. (Shounen ai.)
- Penny Arcade [ Webcomic ] - I am about as far from being a gamer as you can get while still being a geek, but that does not detract from my enjoyment of this series in any noticable way. Because I still laugh my ass off whenever I go through the archives to catch up on the comic--and this is the one comic I keep up on pretty regularily, actually. I never get more than a month behind on it because it's just... it's just fun to go read, there aren't really any story arcs, it's just some funny, funny stuff. (Some het, sooooo not the point of the comic.)
- The Gay Baker [ Webcomic ] - I followed a link to this webcomic because Fox posted a link on her blog and made it sound interesting, and I'd always kinda liked babypen's art from her Gundam Wing stuff. And, oooh, I spent several hours tearing through this comic and is the one I keep semi-frequently updated on the second most, this one I love enough to actually remember to go back and look at it. The art is just absolutely gorgeous, the characters a treat to watch partly because they're beautiful and partly because I laugh my ass off half the time, because they're so funny. (The other half of the time I'm going *_______*.) I just... love. And, wow, am I ever with the love for Francis. *____* (Shounen ai/yaoi.)
- user/bin/w00t/ [ Webcomic ] - This one I got pulled into because of the Fangirl character, linked on a blog/journal once and was muchly amused, so I spent a few hours going through the archives and was hooked because of the hysterical humor. It's just one of those comics that I really kinda liked, that entertained me while I was reading it, and made me laugh out loud at several points, and I genuinely like the main character. That doesn't happen often enough. ^_^v (Some het, not the point of the comic.)
- Boy Meets Boy [ Webcomic ] - Probably the second webcomic I liked well enough to tear through the archives (and there were a lot, even back when I first stumbled over it) over the course of a night, because the humor and the characters really endeared themselves to me. (And I still like Mikhael. XD) This is one of those that's inspired enough of a fan-following of its own to actually have fanfic for it, and you know the author's doing something right then. ^_~ (Shounen ai/yaoi.)
- Clipped Wings [ Webcomic ] - This comic is one of those that has pretty much everything I want--gorgeous, gorgeous art (both in the drawings of the characters and the beautiful layouts/designs the artist uses), wonderful, interesting characters, sparkling humor that makes me laugh, and some shounen ai hints~! Oh, and a storyline I'm actually interested in. That almost never happens. @_@ So... I am just filled with the love for this comic and covet moremoremore of it~~ (Some shounen ai/yaoi, not really the point of the comic.)
