All interesting ideas! I do have a short list of vocabulary used regarding the monsters. As you may imagine, though, most of them see little use outside of the specific circumstances they refer to. One thing that intrigued me during MLU's genesis was a little lingual quirk that popped up between ...

Thank you both for your kind words! :D I'm glad you enjoyed it. I was hesitant about posting a scene outside of Ichirou's point-of-view, but I think this turned out okay. Now, if only the main chapters could be composed so quickly! :o And thanks to SolitudeFreak for the inspiration! So... Are her ...

They r monsters tho. The words echo in her ears, fresh from the mouths of the morning's crowds. The words of ignorant humans, spoken without care, without consideration... But she must not be so hasty to hate. This, too, is a test of her resolve. It is a test of her belief: in herself, in her ...

Thank you for your continued interest, Mirage. :) I didn't know if anyone would still care after such a long time without a serious update. Regarding the term 'monster,' names, labels, and stratification are at play in MLU's world. There is still a significant distance between the human students and ...

04. Shadows (cont'd) I can feel Ken and Hiro move closer to me. "You're staring, dude." "So is she," I say. "Okay, enough," Hiro says. "Mind your business and just keep walking, guys." Her eyes narrow and I see only some small movements of her face. I'm not familiar with their faces. There's some ...

04: Shadows Students in uniform trickle down the stairway like leaves down a stream. Some are carried into the gardens, towards the school building. Some turn away, onto the path to the sports fields. Others meander and settle in some spot, talking with friends in the delight of this cool morning ...

Reading this felt like I was transported directly into another person's mind. I love it! Now I'm eager to look back at your previous pieces.

I liked her first name better. Eh? Eh? Ha HA, good times. You will never let me live that down, and I respect you for that. I think Sonya Sotomayor might've been better. :D "The characters and events presented here are fictional. Any resemblance to actual monsters are coincidental." Sadly, I don't ...

MLU team turns to the Land of the Free in its bid for Independence "Things are changing around here," the girl says, swishing her tail, "maybe for the better." The creative team behind Monsters Like Us , an up-and-coming and anticipated entry in monster girl literature, has announced some big ...

03. Hits and Misses (cont'd) Sanae picks up the bat and swings it a couple of times before getting ready to hit. I roll my arm to warm it up. There won't be any dramatic moves or poses to this, like lifting my leg as I wind up for the pitch, or throwing a leg out to keep my balance; both feet will ...

03. Hits and Misses Tuesday morning comes on the wind. The breeze is refreshingly cool on my face and arms, and my track pants keep me from getting a chill. It's beautiful walking weather, the perfect motivation to get back into the swing of things. Past the Great White Wall, the trees and bushes ...

Hooray, the pool! :D I'm not sure what the time skip between the two chapters is, but when Hachisame enters Tana's room and finds Hitomi there, I can imagine that being a very touching moment. Like, a confirmation that you didn't just scare away someone forever. I love little moments like that ...

Congratulations! I hope everything goes well for you and the Zap-Apple team. Patience comes with the territory, so a hiatus isn't something unexpected. Best of luck to you.

I hope those who celebrated had a fun and happy Halloween! Just for fun, based on a Halloween story I saw yesterday, I had a little idea for a little monster story. It's a one-shot with no connection to the Monsters Like Us story, though it takes place in that "world." It's not KS related otherwise ...
