I've always found it funny how Shizune criticizes Lilly for putting everything aside to help people then says she wants to be a philanthropist. I think Shizune would say that if being a philanthropist is your 'everything' then that's not a problem. Her issue was that Lilly didn't actually carry out...

Actually, I think the last page or two has veered away from headcanon into real life, so it'll probably be culled...

When my younger sister had one (a westerner), my parents warned her about disowning her if she go as far as doing you-know-what. Isn't this racist and/or denying her agency as a person? No, it's providing useful advice; intercultural relationships can be tough. Also, depends on whether age of conse...

Now then... [STUFF] Absolutely agree. But I've realised that it's something really, really hard to empathise with, for people from certain backgrounds. Somehow, while trumpeting diversity, they are unable to conceive of true differences because... 'universal human values'. The problem lies in the d...

Yeah, headcanon. :) Class reps are not part of the student council, if I am to clarify. They are called occassionally for report on the class, based on teacher's feedback concerning the students behavior and attendance. Members of student council are usually the president, vice-president, accountan...

To Shizune, Lilly is nice to individuals at the expense of causing inconvenience to the larger group. Standard Japanese mindset, isn't that? Lilly's just been corrupted by Scots... Pretty much. Groupthink wants you to be nice and accommodating without being to extreme about it, as it can be seen as...

This...has nothing to do with Fifty Shades of She Who Thirsts, does it?

No, that's not why/how Miki's arm is like that...

I'm happy with somewhere up to 10k words over three days. If it's an epic like a full pseudo-route or something, that's at least a week, if not two. So my suspicion is that maybe 20k words is the upper limit, roughly. The exception would be works that are so established in KS fanfic lore that anothe...

"Who?" I must be getting old. I don't recognise this one at all. I rub my eyes, clouded by a night that's run too late and is now limping towards morning. "Me!" I look harder. Richly piled cloud of black hair, a tanned complexion somewhat disguised by foundation, glasses with large frames. A formal ...

Dialogue like this is why you're my favorite fan-fiction author, brythain. Your grasp of these characters is almost uncanny -- there wasn't a single line of dialogue in this whole story where it didn't seem 100% like something that character would have said. And it's not like it's easy to imagine t...

My laptop hard drive crashed. I lost about a hundred pages of notes, research, and unfinished writing.

The hard drive decided to switch from NTSF to RAW data format. I don't know if I can recover anything from it.

That's horrible. anything backed up?

Aaaaaaaand you found out how to make Shizune interesting to me again. Some part of me wishes this had been the real story and Emi was the alt take, but that may be because I think things would likely have ended....much differently. I had this insane thought a couple of weeks ago that I could have w...

Happy Lunar New Year to those using that calendar! Thursday 19 February 2015 is the first day of the Year of the Water Goat.

Also, it's my 360th day on the KS forums!

Shizune is nothing like Jigoro. That's just your opinion though, right? ;) Heh, no... that's rhetorical exaggeration. She is of course a little bit like Jigoro. He is her father, after all. Seriously though, we don't have the slightest clue what Jigoro would do when courting someone since we have n...

This was meant to be a Valentine's Day piece. It's a bit late because I got distracted. This isn't in the AtD continuity, of course. But it was an alternative I'd considered, just like many pieces in this thread. In Our Hands I’m looking out over the Sanshiro Pond. Lectures are over for today, in t...
