Re: Within a Looking Glass – A Rika pseudo-route

It's nice to see another Rika pseudo-route attempted. It flows well so far. I have a few complaints, though, because the fluency of your writing masks some problems... :) 1. Rika has reddish irises in her eyes, not blue. You can see this from the art provided in the AFD original post . That we can ...

Re: Tips for fanfiction READERS

Advanced Class Many many moons ago, I was relatively heavily involved in a visual arts-oriented forum, focused on improvement/development of skills. As such, critique was emphasised as a major element of good citizenship. A few of the principles they worked on: When critiquing, remember: - To highl...

Re: Yamaku Book Club (20180218 'Schwäche' by WetCrate)

Okay, plenty of discussion for me to go into a little more depth on what I thought... For context, Google translates Schwäche to mean: weakness, debility, deficiency, frailty, feebleness, faintness, failing, softness, foible, penchant, fondness, slackness, partiality, slightness, poorness, proclivit...

Re: Yamaku Book Club (20180211 'Eat My Shorts' by NekoDude)

I was going to open this to the effect of "Holy Shit", but Silentcook beat me to that by nearly 9 years. As a warning to others, I strongly recommend you read the fic before you read our discussion here. This fic deserves being read free of any context. Now, the first thing that got my att...

Re: Yamaku Book Club (20180211 'Eat My Shorts' by NekoDude)

This is starting to feel a bit like a pile-on. Rather than complaining about what might be wrong with the fic, it's probably better to focus on how it went wrong, and how it might possible be salvaged. I'm a strong proponent of the idea that a sufficiently skilled writer can get away with nearly any...

Re: Yamaku Book Club (20180211 'Eat My Shorts' by NekoDude)

Want to try not to pile on with the others, but I have to agree that the introductory post is poor form. It looks like this is the result of an extremely tumultuous first week on the forums. Rather than relitigate old wounds or otherwise belabor the point, let's focus on the art, rather than the art...

Re: Cripple Your Enthusiasm (Inexcusably Late 8S Submission)

Since it was written for me, I can't let this go without comment. Very late, but still before the end of Christmas by the hardest of hardcore Christmas celebrants. I'd say you kept to the spirit of the prompt - very much the sort of direction I was hoping someone would take it. The characters feel l...

Re: Yamaku Book Club (20180128 'Constant Companion' by darrin)

I think by this point, we can legitimately consider this one of the "classics". It's difficult to add to what's already been said, but I think the real strength is it plays up some of the subtler aspects of Misha's character that appear in Act 1, but are generally subsumed by her bright ch...

Re: Yamaku Book Club (20180114 'Some Lilly Scene' by Lulz)

It's an interesting bit. My biggest objection is that it doesn't really line up with the canon bad end - a key point is that Shizune decides that she needs to be away. In fact, my impression was a further bit that she was taking Jigoro up on his offer for the family trip to get away and clear her he...

Re: Secret Santa 2017 - Story collection

According to the Prof there should have been 18 submissions in total. We know gibzx, WillDFly and Visionary have received a story but have not yet submitted any; there should be one more. I think WillDFly should have written the one for monkey, because apparently there were three late applicants. N...

Re: Freaks and Friends

As mentioned, I finally got around to finishing this. I couldn't comment, though, as the timing would be too suspicious (to me; there's a chance you wouldn't think twice about it). Overall, still pretty solid stuff, and no reason to object to your big revelation, in my opinion. That being said... “D...

Re: Yet Another One-shot Repository (New Entry 11/18/17)

Nice start, but if you intend to keep it as a one-shot the ending is a bit abrupt - some of the character developments really need more exposition to accept them. :-) All fair points. This is mostly something that's been brewing in my head for a long time, and it needed to get out. There's a good c...
