Re: After the Dream—Emi's Arc (Part 2 up 20140310)

The other commenters have pointed at the erratic thought process and said it sounds un-Emi-like, but I don't completely agree. Emi is a very focused runner, and she compartmentalizes her life almost as well as Shizune, but she's prone to manic, somewhat childish behavior as well. Yes and no. I actu...

Re: The 'Wild Speculation About Rin's Past' Thread

I completely forgot Nomiya mentioning Rin's parents, in all honesty. Strange that they didn't have much of an impact at all in Rin's route... I always presumed this was because they lived somewhere prohibitively far away, maybe even Okinawa. KS pretty much ignores regional dialects, so anything's p...

Re: The 'Wild Speculation About Rin's Past' Thread

Now, if memory serves, what we know about Rin's past is this: -She was born with a birth defect, and the subsequent surgery left her with her trademark nubs. -She used painting as a method of self-expression (and still does). ...And that's it. Unless I have forgotten something major, that is the su...

Re: After the Dream—Emi's Arc (Part 2 up 20140309)

OK, so, I decided not to wait and read these...twice through. Not sure I can put my finger on it, but something about how you've written Emi seems...off-putting. I sort of get what you're going for, with the jumping from thought to thought, and that maybe as time goes on it's gotten harder and harde...

Re: Submitting of fan fiction: Episodic vs. whole releases

I can only speak for myself and my own story, but I know that had I not posted the chapters one at a time, then (1) the story would have gone very differently than it has (i.e., I would have stuck a lot closer to my original outline); (2) my writing would not have improved in the way it has, because...

Re: If the girls were rpg characters

I'm currently in charge of an RPG group for the blind and visually impaired. The group still plays using D&D 2E - the group was founded before the release of 3E, and they decided not to switch. We recently started a new campaign, with my friend to whom I read KS as the DM. She's running Emi as an NP...

Re: Yamaku Book Club

Sorry, Sea, but I didn't care for this one at all. Not that it wasn't good -- for all I know, it may very well be good for what it is -- but because pretty much everything about it wasn't my cup of tea. For one thing, unlike most folks here, I'm not a big Miki fan. Also, I'm not a fan of dystopian-f...

Emi says she likes Blue, though...
Hisao also claims that Rin told him her favorite color was blue.

Re: After the Dream (PostLilly NeutralEnd) LillyArc (Complet

I must admit the "Emi dying of a broken heart"-thing came across to me as weird. It almost sounds like Emi lost her will to live after Hisao died, gave up and faded away. Emi's dealt with loss before. We also know how she deals with it...by running her artificial legs off and trudging on. She hates...

Re: After the Dream (PostLilly NeutralEnd) Lilly6 up 2014030

Geez... I wonder what happened to Emi, since Shizune had to adopt her kids... Emi's arc doesn't end very well for anyone. That's why I'll need a break before I start writing it. Sigh. I'm beginning to think only Hanako gets a good deal in my mosaic… Not surprising. The whole thing has an overbearin...

Re: Yamaku Book Club

Well, take what follows with a grain of salt, because I pretty much binge-read this after publishing my chapter last night. I do, however, consider it five-ish hours well spent. As some of you know, I'm a big fan of fluffy stories, especially well-written ones. This one...well, it fell a step below ...
