Re: Yamaku Book Club (Meeting Resumed: July—Iwanako)

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't excited to get to Bathory. I still genuinely mean to get around to posting, but it's been hectic here in my little bubble of reality. Well, that and I have little to contribute. I like MTtB a lot, to say the least, and it's hard to comment on something you just can't ...

Re: Yamaku Book Club (Meeting Resumed: July—Iwanako)

Sorry, sorry, I do most of my posting on the weekends. Well, that and I had to reread the chapters in question, and while that's hardly a chore, it is a little time consuming. Well, that and an out-of-character party on my end, so apologies if this ends up being more, ah, casual than usual. And less...

Re: The Blank Slate - (Updated 7-8) Mirror Shoujo

Woo! More Blanks have been fired! :D But I changed the thread name. I think this one is more accurate. I find it weird that no one is shipping Mirror Lilly and Mirror Kenji, which I thought was the obvious direction that section hinted at. Mirror Kenji might be a bit of a smooth talker, but I think...

Re: Kagami Pseudo-Route [Updated 7/6]

Either way, this would lead to a bad ending no matter what he does, this much is true. However, if he truly cares about her, he'd let her know and hope that she stays. I agree, and being honest might show Kagami how much he genuinely cares for her well-being. It's absolutely worth telling her at le...

Re: Kagami Pseudo-Route [Updated 7/6]

I'll chip in again to ask; what's the point in Hisao crushing her soul with the bad news if Kagami just pulls this same trick again? He's playing into her bad habits, I agree, but it's not entirely on his head that Kagami would rather risk complications than keep her own story straight. It's not His...

Re: Firing Blanks - (Updated 6-27) Scrapped Routes

Mirror Shoujo ---------------------------- Credit goes to Swampie for the concept of Mirror Shoujo, and permission to use it. For those who haven't read it, the following AU is one where each character has had their core personality traits inverted. The results are... interesting. I've made a few a...

Re: The Benefit of Hindsight (updated 7/4!)

Nicely written as always. I've mentioned before that while I don't like Lilly, I'm okay with this Lilly, and this latest chapter perfectly illustrates why. I'd hate to feel self-important for no reason, but I can't help but wonder how much of this chapter was created as a direct result of, or at lea...

Re: Kagami Pseudo-Route [Updated 7/6]

Hmm, Hisao is getting a lot of hate in the comments right now, and perhaps not without cause, but honestly, it's not that simple. I think it's becoming increasingly obvious that Kagami doesn't want to remember what upsets her. She's already sabotaged her own memory on numerous occasions, and I find ...

Re: Yamaku Book Club (Meeting Resumed: July—Iwanako)

Now there's the discussion I wanted to see. Frozon Sopor: I'm seeing a little early installment weirdness, personally. Iwanako undergoes a severe character change between this opening (shy and unsure of herself) and leaving the hospital (nihilistic and vitriolic). Of course, this is all easily attri...

Re: Act 2, Chapter 1 - Point of View

I only just remembered that I never actually commented on this! Whoops. Well, not that there's much to say. Not much happens in this chapter. There's the letter, of course, but that's only a precursor to real drama, which I was already anticipating. I want to think of her happily, even now. How can ...

Re: Yamaku Book Club (Meeting Resumed: July—Iwanako)

I know that it's a holiday weekend for all the Americans on the board, but I'm honestly feeling a little sheepish about constantly barfing out these long walls of text. Am I bogarting the YBC too much right now and driving people off? Upholding a long-standing American tradition, I expect I'll (tem...

Re: Some Things Best Kept To Yourself

Yeah, it's not terribly fair to Munchenhausen, but I can't help but wait for the punchline, right up to the end. It's kind of like Jim Carrey trying serious roles in acting; he's not bad, but it's hard to see past his previous films and appreciate the plot for what it is. Anyway, I liked it! You got...

Re: Yamaku Book Club (Meeting Resumed: July—Iwanako)

I think the amount of time Leaty spends on character research is inversely proportional to their importance in the story.

Re: Alt Dreams [One-Shots] (28—'True History') (20150701)

Hang on, I'll comment once I finish my flowchart, and piece together some kind of skeletal timeline. I... think... actually, when the hell are we? I need more yarn for this poster board. There's a pattern, I'm sure of it!
