Touhou/Fanfic Recs: Difference between revisions

* ''Comments'': In four parts, with great art, characterization, [[Tear Jerker|Tear Jerkers]]s, and [[Heartwarming Moments (Sugar Wiki)|Heartwarming Moments]]. PREPARE YOUR HEARTSTRINGS.

* ''Synopsis'': A story of the life and times of [[Doujin|Doujinka]]ka Mizuki Hitoshi, [[Touhou|Touhouified]]ified and slightly exaggerated.

* This is a series of comics presented as [[Fan Vid|Fan Vids]]s by the mysterious and elusive Adonmaru (he doesn't even have a pixiv page).

* ''Rating'': YMMV on whether this is SFW. There's no nudity and no overtly sexual situations, but there are a couple of [[Furo Scene|Furo Scenes]]s and characters occasionally wear swimsuits/revealing outfits.

* ''Comments'': The drawing style on these [[Art Evolution|improves considerably]] over time (particularly in regard to the coloring), yet maintains a highly distinctive style throughout. Some memorable gags include Marisa [[Troll|trollingtroll]]ing the Prismriver Sisters with an [[Iconic Song Request]], Rinnosuke's bird feeder causing [[Furry Confusion]], Marisa accidentally encountering [[Pocky and Rocky]] (and an amusing [[Call Back]] in a later strip with PC-98 Reimu and Mamizou Futatsuiwa in place of those two), the emblem on Yuyuko's hat changing into various [[Sega]]-related things from one panel to another,<ref>because the canonical one, an orange spiral, resembles the [[Sega Dreamcast|Dreamcast]] logo</ref>, Cirno being punished by being turned into Fairy Liquid<ref>an English brand of dishwashing liquid</ref> or Keiju<ref>which means "fairy"</ref> margarine, and Remilia making a prank call to a quiz show hosted by Sakuya and pushing her ([[Fanon]]) [[Berserk Button]].<ref>referencing both the fandom's "padding" meme and an actual prank call incident popularized by Youtube</ref>. It's also notable for popularizing "Sirkku" as a [[Fan Nickname]] for Cirno.

* ''Comments'': What can i say? This is a [[Your Mileage May Vary|very, very]] [[Love It or Hate It|polarizing work]]. The work, which originated in [[Something Awful]], transplants Touhou characters into an [[Eagle Land|all-American]] setting and plays it around to make it work. Here's a rundown of the characters: {{spoiler|Reimu studies Liberal Arts and drives a Prius. Sanae is a Jew and spoke [[Yiddish as a Second Language]]. Marisa works in her family's diner and drove a Humvee around generally acting [[Jerkass]]. Alice is a Mormon [[Crazy Cat Lady]]. Both Remilia and Yukari are [[Corrupt Corporate Executive|Corrupt Corporate Executives]]s (with Sakuya and Ran being friends, despite working to opposite sides). And the best part? Aya is a [[Transmetropolitan|Spider Jerusalem]] [[Expy]].}}

* ''Comments'': Shockz: One of the funniest stories I've ever read. No, not one of the funniest Touhou fanfics. Not one of the funniest fanfics. One of the funniest ''stories''. Half the fun is seeing--andseeing—and helping to decide!--what Wizardnon (the unnamed protagonist) will do next. The other half is seeing the inevitable fallout from his often less-than-wise decisions. Oddly enough, despite (or perhaps because of) Wizardnon's [[Crazy Awesome]] tendencies, most characters are written as being surprisingly down-to-earth. Even Cirno.

** The zombie incarnations of our Touhou characters is a--dare I say--pleasantsay—pleasant sight. What might normally be shown as simply a brainless mass of rotting flesh is given a character each to her own, making her a part of the horde but not necessarily all one in the same. Also, the Aya and Satori combo was an interesting pair, each of which work well as the protagonists. I would definitely say to check this story out, but I should mention that it's not for the faint of heart.

* ''Comments'': Beautiful vocals, even during the small [[Take That]] to Kaguya x Mokou at the end. The pictures are really cute, and the story is really touching. If you have time, also check 'Laugh Maker' and 'Double Scarlet' in the related videos -- theyvideos—they have a similar artstyle, and all of the PVs have really cute stories.

* ''Comments:'' A prequel to ''Perfect Cherry Blossom'' that tries to explain a number of things like how Yuyuko died and why Yukari sleeps so much. Contains both [[Tear Jerker|Tear Jerkers]]s and [[Badass|badasserybadass]]ery.

* ''Comments'': The ending to this story is particularly refreshing to see in a tidalwave of "BAD END" fanfics. The author, Laburey, states that she got the inspiration for this story through a doujinshi -- havingdoujinshi—having read both, I can safely say that the expansion brings much more emotion to the situation.
