Webcomic Reccing Shiritori
Anyone feel like playing shiritori? (English-language version.) The rule is to rec a webcomic that starts with the last letter of the previous rec. [ETA: if the last letter is a vowel, you can use the preceding consonant instead.] Include a link, and a short summary/about. You can write up that part yourself if you want...I just grabbed the official summaries from the websites. So, for instance, starting with the last comic where I sat down and read a chapter in one sitting: Widdershins"A series of Victorian-era adventure stories, set in the fictional town of Widdershins, West Yorkshire- England’s magical epicentre, home to bounty hunters, failed wizards, stage magicians, and more, besides." That title ends with an S, so I need a title starting with S for the next rec: Spectra Spell"13 year old Vera has recently moved to the small town of Vättered, Sweden — a seemingly unremarkable place at first, but strange things are happening and everything might not be what it seems. SpectraSpell is a story about kids and magic, and what it really means to be different." Next commenter, give us a rec where the title starts with L, and so on from there! (Just don't rec anything that starts with a number or a symbol, because I think you'll break the game.)

Travis wrote: What's a rec? A recommendation. Let's see if I can get this ball rolling somewhat! Lapse Bianca Fortune knew her house was haunted, but she never thought she would end up among its ghosts. Ripped from her listless life in a freak accident, Bianca finds herself stranded in the company of souls more lost and confused than her own, and a malevolent entity is looming closely behind her... This is an excellent horror/thriller story that I have been following for a long time!

Re: Webcomic Reccing Shiritori
Awesome, that gives me an opening to share an early-'00s throwback favorite. Elf Only InnElf Only Inn is a comic about Internet roleplaying chatrooms, where all the screen names are "characters" interacting in a fantasy world. It's like a regular chatroom where everyone is out to get cybersexed, but with elves. Only, there really aren't very many elves in Elf Only Inn. Or, for that matter, any real roleplaying.

I'm down! Terrible at writing synopses, but hey... let's give it a go. NovaeA story set in 17th century France about a mysterious traveler and an apprentice astronomer who meet in the library of the Academy of Sciences. It's a quiet romance set against the backdrop of the scientific revolution, and while I'm not caught up on it right now, I definitely need to do that today.

Uh-oh, two E's in a row. Hope that doesn't keep happening, because I'm running low on alphabetically-appropriate recs.... Eerie CutiesA PG-13 comedy/horror webcomic series that's created and drawn by Gisèle Lagacé, which follows the adventures of Layla and Nina Delacroix, two vampire sisters, at Charybdis Heights. (This one didn't have a working summary page on the website, so I borrowed one from TVTropes.)

(There's a lot of stuff that ends with E, so maybe we can make a rule that you can use the last appearing vowel or consonant in the name?) LeyLines - After a train heist murder attempt goes wrong, three royal siblings must unravel the conspiracy that's ensnaring the empire - as well as their own tangled relationships and past.

Re: Webcomic Reccing Shiritori
Luckily there's plenty of stuff that starts with S! Here's one: Shattered Starlight! Farah Shaughnessy is a bitter ex-magical girl trying to hold down a job and make a normal life for herself ten years after her world-saving team disbanded. When strange things start happening around her again, she must choose to face the things she’s been running from all these years, or put down her astral weapon and walk away for good.

Re: Webcomic Reccing Shiritori
Wikipedia suggests "if the last word ends with a vowel, you can use the preceding consonant instead." Which sounds reasonable to me. Anyone have strong opinions about whether a title beginning with "The X" should count as a T or an X? (Or both?) In the meantime, here's one that works either way: The Tea Dragon SocietyThe story of Greta, a blacksmith apprentice, and the people she meets as she becomes entwined in the enchanting world of tea dragons. (Complete short story, super cute.)

Re: Webcomic Reccing Shiritori
Thread's gone quiet, so I'm gonna self-reply and see what happens. Year in HereafterYear In Hereafter is an indie fantasy webcomic inspired by the Finnish Folklore and the Finnish national epic, Kalevala. The story resides in a few separate realities, one of them being our world and the modern age, and a fictional universe based on Kalevala's poetry and stories.

Re: Webcomic Reccing Shiritori
Gotta say, I'm enjoying the heck out of RetroBlade so far. (Just finished the first chapter.) Going by the "last consonant before those pesky silent vowels" rule... Dandy and CompanyMisadventures of a dog and his boy, their families, their friends, and the occasional hyperintelligent robot/secret agent/evil nemesis. The author describes it as a mix of Looney Tunes, DuckTales, and Peanuts. Made its internet debut in 2001, though everything posted before the Tumblr relaunch is now only available in print volumes.
