*nods* Rin is very much concerned about identity, and so it's not surprising to see her fight to maintain every shred of hers when she can. I find it interesting that once she felt she had a handle on it, she started referring to herself in the third person. That strikes me as being quite Rin. That...

I'm still of two minds about this arc, but I suppose that's because I'm still processing it. This exchange struck me, however: “Babe, your toes are going stiff.” “I use my mouth.” “You need help with luggage!” “I use my mouth. And wheels.” “It’s not convenient!” “It’s not Rin.” *nods* Rin is very mu...

Mind you, one thing that would put such a career in severe jeopardy for Emi is the Oscar Pistorius case (the one about his prosthetics, not about the one in which he's alleged to have murdered his girlfriend), which would have been going on during Emi's third year, and didn't reach a resolution unt...

Thanks to all as always for all the kind words! Especially good to see a few names that I've never seen, or haven't seen in a long while. A few things... Welp. There goes any possible rekindling between Hisao and Lilly.. I'm pretty sad that that had to happen to my favourite girl, but I can understa...

Sometimes, it seems that it's Misha's interpretation that's starting the argument, not Shizune's statements per se . I think it's a mixture. Sign Language does need interpretation, and the way it's delivered is necessarily lacking in easily-translated nuance. So it can be both: Misha takes the edge...

Urgh. Wonderful as usual but… my reading fits this pattern a bit. "If I keep doing this, maybe all this reading might lead me somewhere other than around in circles." :D Probably triangles. Or rectangles... Or squares, if you're Rin. :D And seriously, how the hell did I just write 7000+ words? I mu...

Between browsing through the stacks and eating in the café, I'm not sure how long I spent in the bookstore. It had to have been several hours, though, because by the time I get back to my room, it's already been dark for a while. I put the bag with today's purchases on my desk and stow my new umbrel...

This is one of those stories that shows the type of person most of us wish we could be under similar circumstances, but in real life almost none of us would. Of course, it's also one of those ultra-schmaltzy stories that you might see on The Hallmark Channel or ABC Family (so, yeah, cinematic in the...

All I know is that the topic of birth control gets me uncomfortable, so I don't really care. It's one of my convictions that sex shouldn't happen before marriage anyways Mmmmm. This explains a lot about this whole thread. Perhaps. But that doesn't bother me so much as it does that the times it does...

Sorry about not posting yet, but it's been a long day :|. I actually haven't gotten back to reading it, but I recall that most of my quibbling stemmed from the way Rin's parents are portrayed. I'm not sure I like the concept of her speech and/or thought patterns being so obviously passed down, and (...

Okay... This is going to be one of those chapters where I'm going to have to read it again so that I can figure out how to express what seems to be wrong about it because right now I'm tired and haven't been sleeping and would like to be able to write something that makes sense but I really don't th...

You can't prove she doesn't sound like that

*laughs* Perfect! When I read KS to my friend, I did my best Brian Blessed voice for Jigoro, so obviously...

Hoitash wrote:I have other outlets for my action genre writing nowadays, thanks once again to Helbereth .

Interesting...do you have a link? I'd be interested in reading it, because I have a feeling I'd enjoy your action stuff more if I wasn't being distracted by it involving (alleged ) KS characters.

Fair warning, folks: Chapter 41 is going to be my longest chapter to date. My previous longest one was ~5600 words. This one has already gone over 6K, and the editing/rewriting process (which should start sometime today) usually adds 10-20% to the word count. Hopefully it won't take more than a few ...

It's why I much prefer Road to Tokyo to the MD-verse.

You do realize that Road to Tokyo is part of the MD-verse?

I do forget that at times, because the connection feels tenuous. Insert a "rest of" in the appropriate place and it's all good .
