Color theory is important to me, and I didn't want her to share a palette with any of the Main Five. This is among the reasons I gave Aiko mid-range brown hair, Amaya and Tadao jet black, Kenta sandy-brown, Yoko fiery red, and Naoko forest green; not one of them shares hair color with the original ...

Iwanako can look however you decide. The only canonical feature is her long, dark hair, and modern cosmetology can alter that extensively, so she's a blank slate. Aside from being female, you can pretty much make up whatever appearance you want, which you can then wield as a literary device to meet ...

I think if a story is still being bumped to the front page, its eligibility should be considered based on a few factors: 1) Is this a necro? For our purposes, we'll consider a "necro" a story that is either finished or has been abandoned by its author, and only graces the front page curren...

Oh is that supposed to be Suzu with her brother? Yeah, he was only a year older than her. I was thinking you were drawing a rather masculine Suzu with a child - perhaps her and Hisao's?

Very confusing.

I actually have a fondness for fan fiction stories that hide who the subjects are until enough information has been revealed. It isn't always done well. I remember one where the narrator turned out to be Hanako, but she called Hisao "Hicchan" during it, naturally leading the readers to th...

No. I refuse. I'm not rereading a section of KS for no good reason.

I think what bothers me about this one is that it's not really a story , so to speak. There is a monologue, and it all occurs within one fixed point in time. I'm not saying that it isn't a thing , just that the overall style doesn't suit my fancy. It sort of reads like an excerpt from a larger stor...

she would meet a different group of people then she did in USM. Good bye... It was nice knowing you... Oh wait, he said "If I have to correct!" Seems I just saved your life ;-) My wrath is delayed, then. Seriously, though, haven't you noticed that, despite being corrected about a thousand...

Usually I'm not one to suggest such a thing - I'm really not fond of Lilly-centric tales - but this piece may have been a lot more interesting and less cliche had its roles been reversed; if it were Lilly lying awake pondering the incorruptible beauty of Hanako, it might make enough of a reversal fo...

“You’re going to be working at a nuclear power plant some day,” I countered, “I’d rather deal with teenagers any day then that.” I swear to God, Allah, and all the minor and major deities of the Greek and Roman pagan religions... I will murder you in your sleep if I have to correct another THAN. *g...

Yeah, so... I told ya.

Not very nice to start posting this whilst I was on an MMO-induced hiatus from reality - seriously, though, y'all should try The Secret World - but I can forgive such inconsiderate actions due to its somber excellence. Writing Hanako as a writer is something I've tried to do for my part, though I ne...

Okay, in the interest of saving time and your eyes, I'll be blunt. I disliked this story. Essentially it's someone rewriting KS set 20 years in the future using a senselessly downtrodden protagonist; he's an emo kid who makes his life sound worse just to get attention, which is a cardinal sin in my ...

Y'know your little discussions with the character are something I end up having happen in my head, especially after writing a dialogue-heavy scene. Did you know that Shizune can run her fingernails down a chalk board without even flinching - it's grating, terrifying and hot. In case you're wondering...

I'm gonna go based on my memory of reading it... a year ago? Honestly, it had a lot of issues with consistently - which the author admitted readily - and I don't feel like getting a stress headache from rereading them.
