From the two dozen or so official documents and papers and commentaries I've read so far, the adjective 'mute' is sometimes seen as the offensive part of the composite adjective 'deaf-mute'. Sample: [LINK] Generally, deaf people don't mind being called deaf, so it's the 'mute' part which may offend ...

Neat. Personally I wouldn't take fanfic suggestions from Reddit, but this works pretty well. I suppose supernatural premises aren't entirely out of the purview of KS-dom, so this fits in well here. It's a nice story - heartwarming, and not altogether cheesy. I always have to take issue with the who...

<Interesting and heartwarming observations...> In a few words, I loved this so, so much. There was no cringe, but a whole lot of grins. Thank you very much! I don't want to fill this thread with spoilerised text, so I'll PM a reply to you on some of those points. I'm glad you enjoyed this experimen...

No... although the one you named served under our mysterious interviewee.

Shinzo Abe.

The clues are all in the interview piece. Even his appearance, etc.

Nuclear testing in Australia?

Heh, the Lion of the Sea has been the emblem of seaports for centuries. Venice was one, and so was Manila. But neither of them was Kenji's new posting.

Me too, but it turns out we're both wrong: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1347133/Disabled-man-banned-using-road-tank-wheelchair-killjoy-DVLA-chiefs.html tl;dr : Dorchester, England.

Not if you disclose the fact. Fanfic authors really need to learn when to shut up. :p

Thank the gods of KS fanfic that it wasn't myself that was the self inserted.

That would be the track-and-field equivalent of the 'sea monkey' craze, I suppose.

If you were suddenly transported to Yamaku Academy for 72 hours, what would you do? What would you try to do? And what could possibly stop you? (Also, is it possible to write a self-insert fic that isn’t creepy and/or cringeducing?) Seventy-Two Hours Reddit is a funny place. It lures you in, throug...

Out of curiosity, do you have any suggestions for ways to avoid straying beyond one's suspension of disbelief? Mine is obnoxiously high, so I tend to not question stuff like people appearing out of thin air when it happens. Personally, I try to establish a buffer of hidden backstory before such thi...

Gah! Too much, too much. I'm surprised both Hisao and Iwanako (whose name you need to spell consistently) haven't died of mutual heart attacks by the end of this chapter. Or cherpter.

Somehow, my suspension of disbelief has crapped out on me, even at my notoriously high levels of tolerance.

You want me to poll my deaf friends and acquaintances for some anecdotal evidence to beat your anecdotal evidence? Actually, that sounds interesting. I don't have enough deaf friends to do this, so I'm keen to find out how a question like, "How do you feel about the word 'mute'?" is responded to wh...
