For the month of June, I would like to recommend a couple of works.First is, Jericho's A Time in Heaven--Forever in Hell .
I loved how he had written his entry; it was professional. I also loved how it concluded.
Second is Chronus14's Ball of Fire .
It was subtle, and his writing style is so persuasive I can almost visualize the entire thing in my mind.
I'm not sure if I will be allowed to Recommend stories that are Contest Entries. Still, those are what will I recommend.
To clarify it again, contest entries are okay to be recommended. Thanks for your submission btw =D

I would like to recommend Kyto's My day at the beach.
I haven't gone through even half of all the entries yet, but I'm making my way through them. But, honestly, Kyto's work is quite good. I've already left my remarks on the story's tread, but I'll just reitterate.
Kyto's 'My Day the the Beach' comes off as a wordy monologue at first. But, as you slowly ease into the writing style, the writing becomes very natural. It gives off a realistic impression on a mind of a person. The vocabulary is never out of context. You don't see his thoughts venture out into a poetic barrage, or break into an unrealistic slang. The character is articulate, but is also a person of modern society. He curses, but he knows his English vocabulary.
Once the writing pulls you in, it takes you by surprise with an interesting twist. Good flow, a relatable character, an interesting twist, and if it means anything in terms of the contest itself, the feeling of summer is always there and the addition of Fakku feels natural.

Oh yeah for the July's recommendation I would like to recommend Leonard267's Summer Vacation by leonard267
It's a funny story and it made my day, but what makes me wanna recommend this were more because I think the author dares to try something different apart from many others by writing a satirical piece like this, kudos for creating something new and fresh mang =)

I think you made a very good decision in recommending this, high. I would recommend this myself by the end of the month if you haven't.
Leonard's work was a good break after having all those heavy writings from the contest. I just hope he continue spreading the humor throughout the page for some times.

I thank you all for deeming my work fit for recommendation. I am glad you found that little rant of mine refreshing. Personally, I think this style of writing is easy to pick up and a lot of people on the Net are doing that.
I did not really write it with the intention of wanting to be different. I found that it is more to do with the desire to make people grin or laugh. Writing this is somewhat of a catharsis for me.

Okay for the August recommendation I would like to add:
Still Untitled by Mibuchiha
From what I've read so far it's an interesting read and I'm liking the stuff that came up to me. It had the concept and setting that intrigues me with the fantasy elements blended in, with the addition of these nice roster of characters that have likeable personalities. Anyways feel free to check up on it when you have time guys~

I recommend In Her Nature, by KuronekoChan.
This is honestly something that most didn't think would win my contest. And nor did many bother to read it initially before the announcement of the winners. But that's because it's a golden treasure that was hidden among the entries. I demand everyone to read it.

But I'm glad~ I mean hey, a work is written to be read after all.

For the September's recommendation I'll go with WTF Series by crimson875
As my review, I do feel that the content is pretty nice and unique, it also matches my preference for weird and funny stories.
Kinda unrelated to the writing, but I think the decent art-style also contributes to the part of the appeal and I love how you draw the expressions, it makes the characters come to life in a way~
Yeah putting it simply, it's like that. Copy pasta it from my comments on that peculiar story thread

Oh dang, I lol'd while reading it. The story does have some weird ideas mixed in that do keep me interested on reading further, and I just love how the characters act along the development between them. Now this is my kind of story, keep on the good work~Kinda unrelated to the writing, but I think the decent art-style also contributes to the part of the appeal and I love how you draw the expressions, it makes the characters come to life in a way~

Well, I know that it's way past October. Heck, November is almost ending now. But, I'd like to recommend this one here.
It was a really great read, that I can guarantee. It has brilliance, dark sense of humor, and mostly, a captivating writing style! No joke about the last part, the writing's flow just knows how to hook you up and make you read until the end.
I hope that is an okay contribution to your list, High~
This section needs more writing. People needs to do more reading! ...Says me, who's lazy, haha! I'm so contradictory nowadays.

before I forgot, here's my recommendation for December
Concerning that Wedding! by leonard267
I find this to be really funny because I had the similar kind of resentment towards the wedding ceremony myself, and it pretty much portrays the cynicism and pessimism which I sometimes thought during that peculiar time.
