Re: Yamaku Book Club (Now Reading: Greater than the Sum)
>Σ I don't know what that symbol means. 'greater than' + sigma (the sum) Ahem, that will be all the math puns allowed here, we cannot have the plebeians confused. Well, that one comes straight from the story's text... EDIT: Fitting that my 666th post should come in response to a math pun :roll:.

Re: Adaptive technology
Not sure if this is where you are headed with this, but... From personal experience, a lot of adaptive technology for the blind/visually impaired is quite expensive. However, for students and for those in a program to help them find a job (although, somewhat disturbingly, not for those who have actu...

Re: Why Does Hisao spend all his time with Mutou?
The other studies all take place in the same classroom, as is customary in Japanese schools. The students stay in one place, while the teachers move from room to room after each period. That's why, for instance, during Lilly's route Hisao receives the results from an English exam while in that same ...

Re: Yamaku Book Club (Now Reading: Closure)
Well, one of the fun things about the "without qualifications" bit is that it actually works as an escape clause here. I stated that it's one of the best works here, a sentiment which I have no qualms repeating. But the thing is that there's one key qualifier in this discussion that tends to be ass...

That was fun. I don't say that about too many stories around here, but that was pretty much pure fun. Thanks

Re: Yamaku Book Club (Now Reading: Closure)
Now I'm wondering at what point is a character out of character? Is there a line that is crossed? At what point can you make it subtle enough to not object to the change but poignant enough to incite character development? I think my inexperience at writing is definitely showing up now. :P I guess ...

Re: Yamaku Book Club (Now Reading: Closure)
No argument here. However, is that because we're attaching our feelings about Our Characters to this story that, in point of fact, isn't really about them? If so, that's cheating. I would say that is a common trait among most fan fiction stories Yeah, I agree with this. And that's the problem. In a...

Re: Yamaku Book Club (Now Reading: Closure)
I'm willing to say, without qualifications, that this is one of the best works posted here. Why? It is because the characters in this story are actually "better" characters than their KS counterparts. (Ok, put down the pitchforks for a second :lol: ). Nah, I'm not necessarily even going to disagree...

Re: Yamaku Book Club (Now Reading: Closure)
Well, if everyone's going to jump in before discussion is officially open, I might as well get my own thoughts out since they're fresh. As a disclaimer, I will note that, in order to properly read stories that came out after Act One but before full release, I have decided to read them without thinki...

Re: Developments (Post-Lilly Neutral End) - Chapter 41 up 5/
Well, I've read through it all. What a roller-coaster. You've got some talent dewelar. *bows* I am honored that you think so. You've definitely taken your time with the development of the characters, and the changes that have been made are gradual and don't invoke that it seems out of character (ev...

Re: Yamaku Book Club (Now Reading: Closure)
Shortening discussion till the 24th because y'all are quick. I think it's mostly that a lot of folks have read this one, since (a) it was one of the first ones to come out after the game was complete (even if it's based on Act One only), and (b) it's on a lot of recommendation lists. This was my se...

Re: After the Dream—Rin's Arc/Miki's Arc (Complete 20140523)
Seriously, the trend in Japan is towards a lower life expectancy overall. It's been slipping the last few years, so… I've taken liberties by balancing that against the availability of better medical tech. A few other heuristics for handling populations with non-normal traits, and *clunk* the elepha...
