Re: Ask!

Does Hanako know any english? (Sorry for all the hanako questions) I would say only the basics (she is in school after all) Just to add my two cents' worth: English is now a compulsory foreign language for Japanese students starting around age 10. My mother taught EFL in a Japanese school for more ...

Re: For Want of a Nail - Misha Route (Happy Birthday, Misha!

That was a rather long cliff-hanger, what with all the medical discussion in between and all. Glad to see this route resume, ProfA!

Re: Voice acting the entirety of Katawa Shoujo?

I think the bigger problem is that KS has a higher word count than the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Not many internet hobby projects can survive for that long. Welp, TIL. That's pretty wild. If you look through the fanfic forum, there are now a few fanfic writers who have now exceeded 500k words, as ...

Re: Learning To Fly - A Saki pseudo-route (Updated 9/5)

Saki's retrieved her phone from one of her shoes, and flipped it open. One lonely sentence written in past tense :-) Ha, that one is in present perfect: Saki -has- (already) retrieved her phone from one of her shoes, and (has) flipped it open. That is, in the present, the act is complete. For examp...

That's a very genuine Shizune. Really the kind of girl you meet in Japan.

Frankly, the "not making sense" aspect of Hanako's thoughts is very well captured :-)
I once knew a young lady exactly like this. :)

Black and White (Ch 4 updated 20170808)

Chapter 4: Anger I Didn’t Know I Had I don’t really have any friends. That’s the idea that squats at the back of my head, like a big black toad, eating flies and croaking. But I do, I do, I keep telling myself. And then, I don’t. I keep dreaming of the plane as it takes off from Sendai Airport. “Go...

Ah, that's an excellent take on Ms Tezuka. I don't think I've ever read one like that before; it's not a career one would think of straightaway. Thanks for writing it!

Re: Ask!

Can you elaborate on what you mean by "grid concept" and what the alternative would have been? A static novel? Le sigh. I originally thought that there could be 5 "rows" in Act 1 In each row you would meet one girl (column). So there would be 25 "intro" scenes. But the problem is that you needed to...
