Small Artist Reccomendations
Some of my favorites from among people you might not have heard of. I don't promise perfection, but they are interesting, fun, or at least worth a study.
Abandoned by SomaticDream
A grand adventure, charming, dynamic relationships and some deep, deep hits culminating in a story bursting with the feel of raw determination. Sexual elements (that's why Lynx was the one to push it on me) but they're well integrated and essential to the story being told.Chronos by captyns
Another set of cute characters, but in a plot that always seems straightforward then two chapters later slips right through your fingers into something even bigger and more complex. A fun space opera, with a little bit of handwavey worldbuilding, but plenty of charm to make up for it. Kind of unfinished; the ending can feel a bit unsatisfying, and the sequel's still in the works.Top 10s
