All problems are contests to be won, Shizune reminds herself again. Her eyes hurt. Fair warning. Starting a new chapter with an identical sentence almost made me stop reading immediately. If you insist on repeating it, put it at the end of the paragraph instead. Good point, that. Sorry, I tend to d...

Thanks for the encouragement! This is the next Shizune fragment in her thread. Update: It's been edited a little on good advice. Shizune 2: Clash (2017) Down a familiar corridor she walks. Her eyes have begun to hurt again. Tiredly, she pushes her glasses up her nose, her short, treacherous nose. Bu...

Maybe instead of a time limit on discussion, we could say that once 24 hours passes without any relevant posts (as determined by Sea), discussion has concluded and we can start the next cycle. Seconded. Also, perhaps good to think about the issues raised in discussion elsewhere. That is, no longer ...

I entered the game trying to identify with Hisao, which set up my expectations and attitudes for each initial encounter. 1. Misha/Shizune: too loud, I could get a heart attack from this. 2. Emi: worse, I almost did. 3. Hanako: what if she gets one first? 4. Lilly: this, I can learn to live with. 5. ...

This brief document is very useful in that regard. 6'6" is considered Very Tall in the Netherlands.

Thank you, TheHivemind!

And since you dropped by, a question for you:

Emi is both the oldest and the shortest of the main characters; did you ever see her as a motherly type or a 'Yoda' type personality? *grin*

This is the first part of Shizune's arc in my post-Lilly-neutral-end mosaic, ' After the Dream '. Her brother Hideaki has his own arc, and it begins here . You'll find that Shizune perhaps says too little, while Hideaki says too much. Or not. Completed arcs: Shizune | Lilly | Emi | Hanako | Rin | M...

I had a lot of questions, but two years and 233 pages of Q&A have answered most of them. Except… 1. Did any of you have specific 'voices' in your head when scripting the various main characters? This includes Shizune, because while she's mute, I'd guess it might be hard to think of things for he...

...Yes, all of it. If you feel the need to provide this as a footnote to your writing, the footnote is as large as the piece, which suggests that you should have made the piece rather longer. If you don't, then why are you explaining to the reader what should be taken away from the piece of writing...

I had just got on this forum this year when the piece appeared on the Book Club thread. I am glad that you wrote it, Mirage. It has in it potential for more than a second life, and stands well on its own. I think it suffers from pacing, but that's because the somewhat more leisurely canonical pace i...

Not sure what you are trying to do here. The first post has almost no context, and the writing is quite dreamy. After reading it a few time's I'm guessing it's Emi written from the third person? But the way its written reads like Rin dialogue. I think the part with the conversation is between Rin a...

I'm happy with leaving it to the president. I'll abide by that.

I used to have some path notes here, but they actually distracted people. So this slot is reserved for future expansion now.

I'm a bit of an empiricist… so one thing perhaps we can try to do is look at existing pieces and see what the shortest piece is that we'd really consider for a book discussion, and why that is so. So I started with the obvious: themocaw's 2400 words from a path never written. Based on the metrics I ...

What would be the minimum amount of completion before a work should/qualify for discussion? I think that's a great question when turned around a little. 'How complete is this work?' is a question even for a formally complete work. Since this has been called a 'Book Club', I suggest that a collectio...
