Well, then, I may be crazy, but at least I'm in good company! As far as weather goes, I tend to be in Helbereth's camp of letting the plot dictate what the conditions are.

Yeah, honestly, if I'd been more diligent in my own research (I've gotten better, I hope) I would have done the same thing. My only excuse is that I was a newbie to writing fanfiction :oops:. Granted, Developments might have gone in a completely different direction, and I like where it went, but no...

stuff I wrote no such thing! Fix your quote tags! :wink: So, there you have it. Certainly not canon, but probably as researched as we'd be able to do. And there are always alternate interpretations you can take if you don't like this result. Personally, I see it as an opportunity. Besides, drunk dr...

This strikes me as a Emi Bad End overlapping with the start of a Lilly route. I imagine that in this continuity, Hisao -- consciously or unconsciously -- has perhaps grown weary of Emi's emotional distance (as did her previous boyfriend). Thus, the train wreck we saw here. Well, the "32" bit at the...

I guess I agree with Mahorfeus that the wrap-up was a little too quick and clean, but overall a pretty good story. It'll be interesting to see what future stories in this same continuity would look like, too, whether written by you or someone else. I'd consider it myself, but I don't think I'll be w...

This is a bit difficult to say for certain, since in the VN we only have Hisao's PoV to go by, but the feeling I got was that while Emi probably found Hisao attractive and nice to be with in the beginning she only began to develop real feelings for him while they were already dating, and that's wha...

Heh, I used to be able to say the same thing about Hanako, but it seems like lately that's not true anymore. Every time I'm with her lately, there's this tension in the air, and things get...awkward. I feel like it's wearing me down a little more every time, and I don't know how much more I can han...

I feel that Hisao is kind of giving up [...] I just find it strange. *nods* I can understand that. The next couple of chapters will probably shed some light on things. I am 12 and what is Orihime and Hikoboshi? The passage references the events in the Tanabata interlude. Orihime and Hikoboshi are t...

First of all, many thanks for the kind words to those that offered them :) . I wanted to give the speculation a chance to ebb a bit before posting. This was a particularly difficult chapter for me to write. I think this is the first time I actually had tears in my eyes while writing -- it's happened...

I get halfway up the stairs before I realize I don't know what Hanako's room number is. I set the bags on the landing, then smack myself in my stupid face before running back down. Damn it, I'm usually better at pulling that off. I poke my head through the door and say, "Um, Hisao...what's Hanako's ...

On a more serious note... I think short chapters, used properly (as in this case) offer some some advantages to longer ones. They allow for easy timeskips, as bhtooefr mentioned. In addition, it could make POV shifts within a single scene easier to manage (possibly, maybe). If nothing else, it allo...

None of the current proposed love interests will end up with Hisao in the end. Dewelar's gonna pull a fast one on us and have Hisao date Rin in the end. I can feel it in my spleen, man. Ah, nice! Finally got to fill in the last space on my "Canon Heroine Bingo" card! He's going to break the Miki cu...

I'd just like to note that the line, "And then, part of me wants Shizune to find out, so she breaks up with Hisao…" was not actually inspired by dewelar's comment. It's in the original revision of this chapter, that I did on the 3rd of this month - the day I started writing this story. In that case...

Actually I didn't make the connection either (and if anyone else did, they didn't comment in this thread) because I forgot that Hisao met Akira in Shizune's route. This is actually the first look I've had at this story. Knowing the premise, I wanted to wait until a few chapters in before reading, b...

All indications aside, the only reason I can think of for Hanako inviting Akira along is that, even if only subconsciously, she wants Shizune to find out about her and Hisao. That would by Quite Interesting. Sometimes a pipe is just a pipe... No one knows that better than I do :) , but I was surpri...
