Hmmm...dipping into my own collection, I could maybe see your Iwanako associating with some of the 90s-era female singer-songwriters -- Tori Amos, Suzanne Vega, L7, Poe, early Liz Phair, maybe even the Indigo Girls or Melissa Etheridge in the right mood. That or some nice, broody synth-pop like Joy ...

Well, you did it. You made me start to reread the whole thing. :D Well, depending on how long you take, the next chapter might be up before you're done. It's about halfway through editing now, so that'll probably be late tomorrow or Sunday. So in Chapter 7: Hisao looks over at me, but his expressio...

*nods* I definitely agree with forgetmenot. Powerful stuff here. Best part of this arc without question, and best piece of the mosaic since at least Mutou's arc. I may disagree with the direction in which you've taken Kenji conceptually, but if I put that aside and allow myself to be re-immersed in ...

Yeah, this fic never did it for me, either. It's not often that a fic that that's both short and involves the deaths of multiple main characters leaves me bored , but this one did the trick. "Pedestrian" is the best word I can think of to describe it. Honestly, I almost didn't give Blossom a chance ...

Yes, I definitely think Kenji was one of Emi's "victims" -- maybe even the only one pre-Hisao. I also agree that Shizune downplaying it in front of Hisao is a viable possibility for the reasons stated. However, I do think that, had Emi actually put someone in the hospital pre-Hisao, Shizune would ha...

Even though Leaty and I joke on the Developments thread about our respective treatments of Emi, I will say again that I found Iwanako's reaction quite believable and appropriate, although maybe a touch over-the-top. The only beef I have is this: it seems reasonable to me that Emi has sent at least o...

I feel like a mix is best. A catchy title that grabs the reader's attention and gives a broad idea of the subject, but doesn't give away the details or full direction, allowing development and surprises that go beyond the name of the story. I'm a fan of this approach. For example, 'Developments' by...

If you hide things from them, they'll eventually find out. If you tell them about it from day one, they might be skeptical, but they'll accept it. It's true that if someone is going to accept something like this, being up front from the beginning is the best way to go. However, that assumes that th...

From the context of the rest of the chapter, I would say Lilly.

Correct.

Why is the alphabet in Hanako's burn scars? Ruins it... They say "They don't know" and "I'm so Afraid". I call the "They don't know" bullshit though because of how obvious her fucking scars are. Maybe it's "They don't know I'm so afraid"? After all, the 'AFRAID' part is not where a casual observer ...

You are asking a young girl to post more photos of herself in the forum of a H-Visual novel, and you wonder how that's creepy? It's less creepy in context, as she was the one who made the topic, and she has done so for her own reasons. No need to make it worse than it is. The other comments however...

I think Shizune helping LIlly will multiply her chances of getting Hisao back by two and a third. “Twice nothing is still nothing.” Of course, unless Shizune and Lilly both know deaf-blind speech (which was not established in the VN, despite its popularity in fan fiction), they will have to go thro...

Just finished playing a VN called Stillwater Creek . It's decent, and there are far worse ways to kill a few hours, but mainly I'm posting because the game makes a reference to KS in one of the routes. One of the characters is offered a position at Yamaku High, and the good ending (and maybe the bad...

The overlap really did get to be a bit much in this chapter, to be honest, especially considering that Hanako and Emi jointly realizing that they shared the same anxieties - the main reason to overlap that like that - was already revealed in the previous chapter. I can understand this. However, I b...

As always, thanks to all for the kind words! A couple things I want to touch on... As I do, I wonder why[/i[ she still has her phone. You messed up your formatting on the end tag ;) Fixed, thanks! I know you. Emi doesn't say anything as we look at each other, and I know she knows me now, too. One of...
