Re: Crafty's One-Shots (Aug 11th, 2019: The Longest Road)

Damn we never got to find out which girl it was with Hisao huh? I'm guessing Emi though maybe Rin also fits. While I of course tried to provide a lot of detail about Hisao's feelings and relationship, I did also specifically set out to make sure that this story was written without any particular gi...

Re: Ekephrasis and Other Stories [08/14/2019]

I'm not really the crying type It's still true. But this time, it didn't matter. Absolutely brilliant. The characters work well, including Kaiko, who is from the very beginning just too sweet without being, well, too sweet. Hisao and Rika's relationship seems organic, which is easy when things are ...

Re: COM(promise) - A Miki Route (Updated Oct 15th, 2018)

I'd also praise your depiction of Suzu, though we certainly take her in different directions :lol:! You're absolutely right there - I can remember the first time I read your take on Suzu, and being surprised at just how different she was from my own depiction. As far as anything constructive, I'd d...

Re: Ekephrasis and Other Stories [07/23/2019]

The opening line, along with the situation, tickled something in my tired brain last night. And so, against my better judgement, I took to Microsoft Paint, brandishing naught more than my mouse and keyboard, using only the default color palette and entirely without visualization capability due to Ap...

Re: Ekephrasis and Other Stories [07/23/2019]

Short and interesting. The phrase "ships passing in the night" comes to mind, but isn't really appropriate... More like ships passing in broad daylight, but with the first believing that the second is derelict, and the second convinced that the first is a whale. The characters seemed fluid...

Re: Crafty's One-Shots (Jul 6th, 2019: Dead of Night)

The following post was written in response to Stiles Long's writing contest. Each participant was given a list of KS character pairings and a list of locations. One of each was chosen for this fic. There were a limited set of options available to participants in the contest and it may be that this ...

Re: Crafty's One-Shots (Jul 6th, 2019: Dead of Night)

It's the most ridiculous and insane and entertaining tragicomic one-shot in the forums. I used to think my strange one-shots were one-offs, but after so many, I might just have to come to terms with being 'that guy who writes weird stuff'. Hisao needs to take lover lessons from Misha. Well... Misha...

Re: Yamaku Book Club (shit nobody cares about: the game)

shit nobody cares about: the game An absolutely wonderful read. As you said, that feeling of dread is conveyed excellently, and I found Hisao's internal monologue to be well-characterized. The descriptions were raw and explicit, and the cascade of 'plot twists' - while far from surprising to the re...

Re: Yamaku Book Club (20190715 Radioactive/Call of Yamaku)

Radioactive Okay, I'll start by saying that I'm not a huge fan of this type of story as KS fan fiction. It's difficult to make a good piece of first-person action as is, and tying it in with KS canon never felt like it offered anything. I felt the same way about Meadows' Titanium (similar style): i...

Re: The Sands of Time

Been a while since I read a "KS X years on" fic. You clearly avoided the "everyone is here" trope, without dismissing those characters entirely - which is a nice, realistic take on a nostalgic visit. And you avoided the "clones of the KS cast but X years younger" trope ...

Re: Yamaku Book Club (20190520 Overdrive)

Sweet Voice The story stands well enough on its own, in my opinion - the interesting component is, as HiveMind mentioned, how it relates to canon. This is going to sound strange, but in my mind, the alcohol really made it work, far better than its counterparts in the VN. Misha's "tragedy"...

Brief Exchanges (5/5)

Hisao and Shizune had initially gone to their classroom to pull Misha out of class - again, something that could easily be explained away as student council business - but found that she wasn’t there. They asked the teacher, which was was rather terrifying for Hisao thanks to his inexperience with t...

Brief Exchanges (4/5)

So far, no Misha. Hisao and Shizune had come to class a bit early - getting dressed had actually gone rather smoothly, and they didn’t really have anything else to do. So they had just been sitting there in class, vaguely aware that the third seat in their row was unfilled. It was looking like Shizu...

Brief Exchanges (3/5)

Hisao looked through the assortment of clothes, finding plenty of things that he could wear, but nothing that really fit him. Shizune, furious, had gone back to her room, with Hisao in tow. Once she got back, she changed into some casual clothes, since she had unintentionally been wearing the same t...
