Perhaps Sea intends for us to discuss Katawa Kijo until 2016?

I had to look it up after finishing everything else. By the time it was half over I was barely paying attention. It was probably in my head, but I wasn't consciously aware.

gaijin Damned weeaboos... can't you just use an English equivalent like foreign? I hate having to Google that crap. blind blue-glaze gaze Glaze right next to gaze just doesn't meld right. Perhaps try this (also the comma is appropriate): blind, cloudy-blue gaze Emi, setting the stone in a ring, whe...

Re: Yamaku Book Club

It's strange to think this now, so many months after writing it, but when I wrote the Kenji reflection bit in Five Year Illumination - where he recalls the incidents leading to his becoming so reclusive - I struck on a very similar chord as Mirage did by having his aversion toward women manifest fol...

Re: Yamaku Book Club

You don't want to know how many commas my editor made me take out... I can go and list a few dozen that should be removed, if you like. It makes me think about how the natural scattering of students post-Yamaku can be used for other pieces — how do they fit into a larger world? Well, the ending pre...

Re: Yamaku Book Club

Well, let's start off by getting this out of the way: this fic was written in 2011, and as such its author didn't know anything beyond act 1. It's actually a satisfactory route for Misha in a lot of respects. I had no idea anyone had ever done so to completion, but if not for the fact that her assum...

Special Notice Contained Herein!

Made an account for pretty much the sole purpose of telling you how much I love this. Also, props on sticking to this story for almost 2 years. That's dedication if i've ever seen it. Keep up the good work, I read up to here in about a weeks time so I'm a little too excited for the continuation :D ...

Re: After the Dream (Post Lilly Neutral End) Updated 2014022

All problems are contests to be won, Shizune reminds herself again. Her eyes hurt. Fair warning. Starting a new chapter with an identical sentence almost made me stop reading immediately. If you insist on repeating it, put it at the end of the paragraph instead. training regimes This should be regi...

Re: Yamaku Book Club

Maybe instead of a time limit on discussion, we could say that once 24 hours passes without any relevant posts (as determined by Sea), discussion has concluded and we can start the next cycle. Seconded. Also, perhaps good to think about the issues raised in discussion elsewhere. That is, no longer ...

Re: Yamaku Book Club

Making everyone read 'With Apologies to Harlan Ellison'... With the recent reappearance of Doomish... Nah, I'm kidding. It's well written, but don't go seeking enjoyment from it. You will gain nothing and lose a lot. "With Apologies..." is about 90% responsible for my ever having started ...

Re: Yamaku Book Club

I wouldn't have any problems "spoiling" my notes here - if you are interested. This is the other major problem with choosing a fic-in-progress. If, for instance, someone chose Tomorrow's Doom as the topic of choice (for whatever sadistic reason), I would rather be able to provide the kind...

Re: Moar Leaty Chat

Because it's hard for me to take a story seriously when one of the characters in it is better known for piloting giant mecha. It would be like if Harrison Ford's character in The Fugitive were named Han Solo. Ah, well that puts me at an advantage. To me, they're just faces in seats with no backgrou...

Re: Yamaku Book Club

I just woke up, so bear with me for a moment. Something struck me while reading the past page of comments that I think may be a decent solution when discussing routes. They're unique compared to other stories that come through the forum because of one simple fact: they're not only separated by chapt...

Re: Best Case Scenario

First off; I want to correct your belief about the Irish. Leprechauns are what you are referring to, no? Those are known for their short and stalky selves, not the people themselves. May I ask you, have you ever seen a full-blooded Irish person? The tallest person I know is full blooded Irish, and ...

Re: Yamaku Book Club

Another thing we should decide is to only analyze works that are finished or long-since abandoned. Works that are still in progress are not only incomplete and therefore prone to receive baseless speculation more than analysis, but also still active threads on their own. Finished works don't have th...
