Anyway, I'm terrible at drawing but some ideas are just too good to ignore.

I think Rin would say something like "No...you're good at drawing. You're just good at drawing terrible things." :D

Re: Rin: Hisao's Gift (a short story)

I prefer the other ending: it ties the story together pretty neatly. It is depressing, yeah, but at this point... I just can't picture Rin, even a 'broken' Rin, falling into the cyclical pattern the alt ending hints at. The original ending shows her detached from reality (...well...maybe MORE ...

Shoujo in the Sky With Diamonds

A place to post sky-related art and photos that remind us of Katawa Shoujo?

Re: Rin: Hisao's Gift (a short story)

I wholeheartedly agree Thanks Etokie! As I've stated before, I'm overwhelmed by the kind response the story has received. It really gives me some motivation to continue with my next story--and maybe another after that. (I just wish I had time to write AND read other people's stories more ...

Re: Rin: Hisao's Gift (a short story)

Perhaps it's serendipity, or malice on the part of the universe, but when I clicked on this post to read its contents, my playlist had worked its way around to an appropriately somber song that sources from elsewhere, but seems to match the overall melancholy tone of this story. Funny, the whole ...

Re: Rin: Hisao's Gift (a short story)

Nope, no sequels (though I did post a draft alternate ending to "Hisao's Gift" in the comments on that story). I don't like sequels either. They rarely work out and are often superfluous if you wrote the original story well. Actually, I've been tossing around bits-n-pieces of the new story in my ...

Re: Music that makes you think of KS

When I play "Wiosna," I like to close my eyes before the first note starts, then, as the music hits me, I imagine I'm walking down a bright tunnel. Across the walls come and go scenes from KS, and at the end of this tunnel is the image of Yamaku Acadamy. As I get closer, I can make out Rin painting ...

Thank you. I appreciate your feedback. I think the positive responses to this first story are giving me more encouragement to continue work on the second. That said, I'm always leery since sequels never seem to match the first showing.

Re: Rin: Hisao's Gift (a short story)

I did toy with an idea for an alternate ending for a while. Went something like this: Letting out a deep, sad breath, Emi placed an arm around Rin’s cold, wet shoulders and gave a quick hug. “Come on, “she said, adding a measure of deliberate cheer to her voice, “let’s get you back to the house, you ...

Re: Rin: Hisao's Gift (a short story)

Another "above the norm for the demographic" chipping in to say I really enjoyed this story... Thank you for the praise. I was worried about posting anything where there may be "trolls," but the whole KS community (what's left of it, as I came into it about a year or two late) really seems ...

Re: Lost and Found

Good posting...you've caught my attention! I hope you find time to post further chapters. BTW - understand your hesitance to post first time. I've posted only one story, but that took some self-convincing. I think the KS community that still comes here is EXTREMELY supportive of each other. Kinda a ...

Re: Rin: Hisao's Gift (a short story)

As a fellow member of the "above the norm demographic", let me say that you have made an excellent debut. Good setting the scene, good detail reveal (not too quickly, just enough to make us eager for more). Now, some nitpicks: but it was own a core part of her palate now palette (Lots of other ...

Re: Rin: Hisao's Gift (a short story)

There's just something so sad about having all these characters we love suddenly revel in memories of their past days. Even if they led a happy life there's just something so damning about it. "That Guy" (or what's his name here?) / Mehkanik's Emi and Hanako epilogue are so brutal because of it ...
