Keep going man, I like the stories

You, I like you. These shorts are very well done, all I can say is keep it up. I'd say more, but given that I have no clue how to write, I feel I would just mess things up.

Right now I have a horrible cold, so I don't want to try and write anything. But once it clears up I think I'll try and do a short Lily introspective. Inspired by the very end of Sisterhood, the best postgame Hanako route fanfiction I have ever read.

I think it's everyone. Part of your head-canon too I suppose?

As far as I'm concerned Sisterhood is Cannon. Anyways, here's a short something. Not a full on proper fanfic, but a short introspective piece for Lilly.

My Best Friend's Face

I do not know my best friends face. To finally know her face is one of my greatest wishes. But she has not yet felt ready to trust me. Perhaps she is afraid that I would find her repulsive. Or perhaps she fears I would pity her. I can but hope that Hanako will realize these could never be the case. I hope my dear friend will finally trust me.

There are others who's faces I know. My sister of course. My parents, although I haven't felt them in so long. My cousins, before Shizune became unbearable. Most recently Hisao's, and I must admit he is rather handsome. Friends who I feel far less close to than I do you.

In truth Hanako, I feel more than simple friendship for you. You are as dear to my heart as Akira. I remember clearly when you first came into my room. Your voice trembled so much as you asked if you could come in. You didn't say a word the rest of the night, as we sat there, drinking tea. Our early days were like that, with the conversation being quite one sided. I think it was then when I realized just how strong you really are. How hard it must have been for you to bring yourself in again and again, how afraid you must have been that I would grow tired of you. You are strong Hanako. Your fears do not make you weak. You struggle to overcome them, and that makes you strong. I wonder if I could be strong enough to risk such disappointment and rejection? I will always treasure those moments where you overcame your apprehension. When you asked me about Akira after she visited. When you asked if I played Chess, and our first game. The first time you cooked something for me... Well it was a step forward. Our first shopping trip. And the first time you took my hand to help me through an unfamiliar place.

I have been able to learn a few things about your appearance Hanako. I know you are slender, from your hand. I have felt the softness of your unblemished skin. A few times the strands of your hair have brushed against me, so I know it is long and silky. And on the occasions you fail to realize that you have offered it, I have felt the harshness of the scarring on your hand. How much of your body is affected I do not know, but from others reactions, and your own, I am certain your face is not unmarked. Akira has offered to tell me about your appearance. But I want to wait. Wait until you trust me enough to let me feel for myself. Please Hanako, do not make me wait too long.

Loving the stories and i get the wanting to stop due to lack of comments. I thought the same thing writing my Natsume fic, but my curiosity as to how the story will progress outweighs that problem. That and i tell myself that maybe as time goes on and new people join the forum, they'll want to read a certain type of story, (that was me when i first got on here, before i created my account) they'll run what they want in the search, and your stories may come up. How dissapointed would you be if you came to an unfinished story? From what i've read, some people dont like old posts being brought up. I did a lot of that, but backed off when i started reading people complaining about it. I hope to see more of these stories. Sorry if i got off track

Welp, I am a little disappointed in myself that it took me this long to stumble upon this thread.
Really enjoyed the stories, especially Photo Session.

Don't let the lack of reviews get you down. From what I've seen here so far, this is some good stuff.

I should stop being dead and get around on the forums again, maybe even play those two routes I never got to (HAH!), but no, These are great. I loved photo session, it kinda had be thinking it was way too OOC, but I love the way you tied it in and made an awesome D'awwww moment. Emi fic is Emi fic. Drunk Hanako is best. That is all.

Thanks. Now I've got some ideas for what I will do first. It's going to involve Lilly. Now should she get some bad news first, or some good news?

I know this won't be helpful, but go with what flows when considering order of news. Worst case scenario, the first order you choose doesn't feel right and you'd need to reverse the order.
