I would classify it as one of those pieces that makes you wish Misha would have a happy ending for once. Funny, I'm sure I saw that someone in this thread was working on a Misha route... :P Seriously though, I like this little one-shot. It's too sad to be a personal favorite of mine, but the nightm...

I quite enjoyed this story, and not just for the smut - it wasn't perfect, but it was good. It reminded me a lot of Ascent , which is a compliment, in my opinion. Anyways, the specifics: your syntax was perfect, which is always a relief, but I had a few problems with word choice. You always used the...

Read it. It's not horrible. I'm going to have to disagree with you on that one. I've been on a harsh streak lately. Of the past 4 stories we've read for the book club, I've only given an overall positive review to one of them - and it was the crossdressing prostitution one. I was looking forward to...

I decided a while back not to read this story. I've never read the other Akira route - I just hated the title of this story. I love a good pun, but... well, I digress. Point is, I avoided this story for a long time. And then somebody mentioned that it had a nice little cover in the front post, so I ...

Very interesting concept, with good writing to back it up (though I think the style could've used more flourish in some parts and less in others). I feel like not much happened over the course of the story, though: the exposition is interesting, but then it kind of stops. I mean, Hanako is a demon, ...

Well, the parts *I* proofread all looked good :P I wasn't expecting much out of this chapter at first, if I'm honest - slice of life is nice, but I tend to find it boring if there isn't some underlying substance to it. However, the conversation between Hisao and Saki near the end made it all worthwh...

I agree that this was written as a rather obvious lead-up to an h-scene, only to stop before really getting into the meat of it. Every other paragraph contained a smut cliche, which meant that the end felt a little underwhelming. After all, such things are usually forgiven only because of the smut t...

In short, it would've been really easy to just phone something ridiculous in for a few lols and move on. Instead, there's a surprising degree of care put into the craft. Basically my thoughts on this story. This is not a crackfic in the sense that it was written by someone whose writing was bad or ...

I wasn't as put off by Rin being "overboard" as others who have commented on it. I can understand what they're getting at, certainly, but I think the characterization is close enough not to be much of an issue. That is, however, pretty much all there is to say about the story... much as I ...

Excellent work, fits well into the story. I was surprised to see a large plot point develop - I had thought of this as very slice-of-life, based on the first three chapters, but the exhibition as a point of conflict could definitely be interesting. On one hand, it will likely be at least somewhat si...

An interesting read, certainly a good primer for anyone who spends time on a forum like this one. I've made many of the writer's assumptions listed before. My only issue with this post is the distinction between 'readers' and 'writers' - in my experience, all writers (or at least all decent ones) ar...

Not what I expected going in, I'll say that much up front. Thanks to Prof for warning me not to read any of the discussion first - I usually read this thread as it happens, which is often before I get around to reading the actual story being discussed, but staying out of the know really did give me ...

For the most part I agree with what others have said - SpaG is fine, characterizations are off, story seems purposeless (especially given that the "issue" it sets out to address is explained in full in canon), etc. I do have one more thing to add: this story impressed me with its ability t...

Next up ... Birthday by Nevice (or "Birthday" Hanako fan fiction by Nevice if you want to be one of those people. I'm not entirely sure what to say about this one. SpaG isn't good, but that's to be expected from someone who prefaces the story with "[...] you may see lot of mistakes a...

Well, it's finally here, and it's nothing like anything I expected. This was a strange one. Strangely, it wasn't "bad" strange, which I was sure it would be after reading the first 10 or so lines. In fact, it was good - which was even stranger. The banter between Emi and Miki was very flui...
