Story Recs + Comic Thingies

So I made a rec journal a few journals ago but I feel like it's ripe time to make another one. I'm gonna try to make this one longer but sometimes I really suck at explaining why I like a story, so I'll just keep this one in a simple list format, haha.

Anyways, without further ado, here we go!

Camp Boulder by Palliser (I cannot recommend this story enough.)
Spring Back by Palliser (the sequel to Camp Boulder)
Chlorine by L.L. Poivre
Julius by puke
Carmen by human error.
To Walk in His Shoes by Answering.Alexandra.
Good Girls by aubs and orange county.
Youth by chandelier
Other Half by maybe okay
She by essence.
June Halloweather's Guide to Hollywood by dys-functional (okay, I know I recced this one before, but it needs more love!)
White Boys by flourry.
So Cliche by mavis.
Psithurisma by i jate my hob and atlas - (another story I can't recommend enough!)

...Does anybody else look through their subscription list and see completely amazing stories that you remember loving every second of, and then you realize that some of them are completely inactive? ::shifty: Because that just happened to me...oh well.

I feel like I post a lot of drawings in my journals, but I dunno, I just feel better posting them here. I hardly ever use my DeviantArt anymore, and I'm nowhere near "Tumblr famous" enough as an artist to post them on Tumblr, even if I post a lot on my inspiration blogs. Plus, the drawings I do all have to do with my stories.

Anyways, I have a habit of imaging scenes in some stories playing alongside certain songs. I'm a horrible comic artist; I never really dabbled in the genre and so this was totally new for me. Basically I just scribbled down some lyrics that stand out to me in relation to my story Who Knows, Who Cares (...shameless plug) and just made doodles around them, drawing out what I picture when I hear the song or whatever. I'm horrible at explaining this. Anyways, the Tumblr thisishangingrockcomics was a pretty big inspiration for most of these and their styles.

Well, that's all for tonight. Sorry if this seems like an image dump, but I just like sharing my drawings when they have to do with my writing and I feel like there's no other website that'll listen or look. XD

Have a great night/day, folks! :D
