Re: Roasted Cinnamon

I agree. This is very good writing. I like the style in which you've written this, and the intriguing fact that the introductory portion starts a month after the Yamaku portion. Great writing! :) Thank you! Those are significant compliments coming from the two of you! I don't see what part is exper...

Chapter 1

9:00am, July 10, 2007 Arimuracho, Japan A plume of ash stretches high into the clear summer sky. Reclining comfortably in the shade cast by the balcony above them, two men gaze lazily upon the calm waters of Kagoshima Bay. The younger man turns and stretches, his eyes tracing the column of debris th...

Roasted Cinnamon

Roasted Cinnamon is a Hanako-focused alternative universe Katawa Shoujo fan fiction. While it does follow the timeline of events set out by the game to some extent, it will deviate significantly from established canon in some areas. This is not intended to be a simple retelling of the Hanako route f...

Re: Yamaku Book Club

Now if you look at Rin in Act1 or in Emi's route, she seems ... well, not more well adjusted, but more functional. She may be a bit odd, but she's fully capable of interacting and understating others, even if she doesn't quite get their meaning sometimes. Yeah, I definitely agree. It felt to me lik...

Re: Yamaku Book Club

So, any other thoughts on the story rather than the punctuation in it? Well, I wasn't originally going to post on this because I don't feel I have a great handle on Rin in general, but since you asked... So I strongly dislike RIn. The Rin arc in KS was by far my least favorite, for two main reasons...

Re: Yamaku Book Club

I'm not surprised to see that the reaction to Titanium has been a bit negative. First and foremost, it doesn't feel anything like a typical Katawa Shoujo fan fiction. ProfAllister's critique is reasonable; the story has, at best, a tenuous link to the canon world of Yamaku. The entire story could ha...

Re: Yamaku Book Club

I think, with the variety of fanfic that's on this board, it'd be prudent to evaluate the fanfics the book club reads on a case-by-case basis, nothing excluded. Sea has a pretty good idea of what will and what won't generate meaningful discussion, so for now I'm happy to leave the selection to the ...

Re: Yamaku Book Club

That (along with your full post) is a good counter-argument. However, the question would become: What would be the minimum amount of completion before a work should/qualify for discussion? A good question, but unfortunately not one I'm sure I can give a good answer to. I think it depends on how we ...

Re: Yamaku Book Club

Another thing we should decide is to only analyze works that are finished or long-since abandoned. Works that are still in progress are not only incomplete and therefore prone to receive baseless speculation more than analysis, but also still active threads on their own. Finished works don't have t...

Re: Developments (Post-Lilly Neutral End) - Chapter 34 up 2/

I disagree with the assertion that "it would all be for nothing" if Hisao wound up with Lilly. All of the characters involved in this love trapezoid have had significant character growth, so everybody "wins" in the end - that was the case even when it was just Hanako and Emi we ...
