The Yamaku Library - The fan fiction archive -23/09/14
Posted: Sun Aug 25, 2013 6:56 am
Hello and welcome to
Since the sheer amount of Katawa Shoujo Fanfiction has made it very hard to find just what one is looking for, we have created this library to help new members to find those fan fictions they might like to read.
Each entry will contain the title of the story, the author, the status, an approximate word count, the character whose point of view the story is written from, relevant pairings, if applicable the point in the VN where the story sets in, as well as various keywords or Remarks.
If you wish to search for a story involving a specific character, or specific type of work, you can use the search feature (Ctrl + F on PC) and search for a word that exists in the archive.
Please keep in mind that for some stories the listed information might be considered a spoiler! The library will not contain any spoilertags, since searching for keywords ignores them anyway.
If a story that you think should be in the list is missing you can submit it in this thread or via PM to one of the resident librarians Mirage_GSM, dewelar or Blank Mage. They will also accept submissions for correcting mistakes.
Before you start submitting new entries one more thing for your consideration:
When Silentcook approved this thread his one condition was that there would be no ranking of stories of any kind and no discrimination against any story whatsoever. (We'll make a sole exception for stories that Silentcook himself discriminated against by closing their thread.) That means that we have to put every story for which a complete entry is submitted on the list as long as it is within the fan fiction section of the KS forums -no external links, this is an archive for the KS-forums only – or unless the author requested them to be pulled down.
But keep in mind that one main purpose of the library is to help people find good stories, so please refrain from going through the archive chronologically and creating an entry for each fanfic out there. There are already a lot of... subpar or dead fics in the list...
Please note that I will add stories only if they are either a) completed or b) have been ongoing for at least three months. The reason for that is that in stories that have only two or three chapters published all the info of the entry will change too often to be useful. Also entries would have to be frequently modified, so this rule will take a bit off my workload.
I simplified the form to use for submissions and will put the submissions into code on my end from now on:
Story Title:
Link to the first post:
Author:
Type: [Route, Epilogue, Prequel, Side-Story, One-Shot, Multi-Part]
Status [completed, ongoing, unfinished, aborted]
Wordcount:
Last Post:
PoV-character: [e.g. narrator, Hisao, OC; “various” if the PoV character changes regularly]
Pairings: [e.g. Hisao X OC]
Begins: [e.g. after Lilly bad end, after Rin 2nd bad end, after Act 1 Emi end, “unspecified” if the story doesn’t say]
Warnings: [e.g. character death, sex, yaoi, yuri, gore, violence, rape]
Remarks: [e.g. Crossover – XXX, Side Story to XXX, Genre: Mystery, Setting: SciFi, Paranormal elements, zombies, magic, …]
Type is a rough description of the nature of the story.
A “Route” is a story that begins with Hisao (or another character) meeting a girl and describes the entire relationship.
An “Epilogue” is a story that begins after one of the Good Endings of the original VN and continues that story.
A “Prequel” is a story that takes place before the events of the original VN.
A "Side story" is a story that is related to the plot of another story, but has its own topic, and not part of the major plot.
If a story does not fit into either category, this part will read either “One-Shot” or “Multi-Part”. There’s some gray area here, but the cut-off should be between 4K and 5K words.
Status can be either “complete”, “ongoing”, “unfinished” or “abandoned”. Stories with no updates in about a year will be listed as “unfinished”. Stories are only “aborted” if their author declares them to be.
As most of the stories are of the romance genre, genre needs only be specified if it diverges from that. The stories will be sorted alphabetically.
If you can't fill in all the info on the form, don't submit it. Read the whole fic and try again.
