I can't speak for the dev team, but you should also talk to the people running the contest: many if not most would frown on fanfiction entries, and might disqualify it on that basis even if the dev team says it's OK.

I suspect that Hanako would still be Hanako, only to a much less severe degree. Still quiet and somewhat bookish, but not the type to seek refuge from the world in the library. Still a bit nerdy, but on the more social side of the spectrum: in terms of VN stereotypes she'd be a meganekko without the...

Not counting the bugged achievements (which, naturally, I still don't have), I think my last was the one involving the 30 Misha-blocks.

It is true that some people use the feels as a reason to further retreat into themselves, and that this is a Very Bad Thing. But I would argue that most media -and many other things- can cause this to happen, especially high-quality instances of their respective arts. The form this takes with VNs an...

This game (HD, not KS) strikes me as being rather dreamlike, in which case I'd say the way to go is simply to say all of the shots are correct. The room changes as the game goes on, and the inconsistency is never remarked upon; at every step, Hanako just knows that the layout she's currently experie...

None are statistically likely to last, but I'm not really one to talk on that subject since mine lasted (much to the dismay of the betting pool that some teachers and students at our high school had apparently set up). If I had to say that some were more likely than others, I'd put my odds on either...

The game plays with the stereotypes quite well, I think. Shizune, for example, is the tsundere without the deredere side, and the meganekko without the quiet side. Emi is the lolicon who's actually older than the rest of the cast (including the protagonist), and the catgirl who isn't the slightest b...

I like how they describe 4chan as "the heart of Internet sociopathy." Are they wrong? Whatever else can be said about 4chan -some good, some not- it's still the place the Internet goes to throw up at 4AM. That fact adds to the game's appeal to the train-wreck instinct, which is probably i...

Having shotgunned the bad endings after getting the good endings, I've got to say: it's just not as hard as it's made out to be. I believe this is because I'd already gotten the good endings: the fact that it's not your first ending on that path gives you some distance.

Yep. IIRC, the only relic left of this is the music box, which plays what was going to be her favorite tune to play on the cello.

Come to think of it, does Hanako ever actually see Hisao's heart condition act up during her path? Certainly she knows about his condition, but does she have any reason to think that blowing up at him might cause problems? Do we as the players, even? No one at Yamaku, including Hisao, likes to be tr...

A question for the original poster: if you had finished Hanako's path before starting this thread, would you still have started it?

Lilly's path is cliched, but things become cliched for a reason: they resonate with people. When used well, they can be really powerful as images, and, well, my choice of avatar should be enough to tell my opinion on this one.

I did, briefly, for reasons I'm not sure I actually understand. So I got help. Truth be told, I needed it anyway, and I knew that; this was just the swift kick in the butt I needed to actually go and seek it out.

Hanako says it wasn't rape. On the question of whether or not she was raped, she's pretty much the ultimate authority. Hisao acted recklessly -inexcusably so, in fact- by ignoring the classic red flags: actions identical to his could very easily have been rape, if Hanako had not been willing. For ex...
