Re: Name one thing you'd bring to a manly picnic

Gun N Roses and Sabbath are pretty meh. I'd bring water balloons. Full of pudding. Well I would have said Xanthochroid and Ne Obliviscaris, but it would have been met with most likely blank expressions xD If you put pudding in a water balloon, does it stop becoming a water balloon? No. It becomes a...

Re: After the Dream—Others (Rika/Mutou done, Akira5 up 20140

Really, I want everyone to be happy, but Hanako and Akira are the two that I most want to see get their happy ending (in any story), and it's sad to see Akira being denied that happy ending due to circumstance. (That probably has something to do with me identifying with Hanako at some level, and Ak...

Re: After the Dream—Others (Rika/Mutou done, Akira5 up 20140

Honestly I think these two arcs are some of your best work yet, because these characters exist firmly on the edge of the Hisao-sphere. It's not enough for them to have loved him at one point (Lilly), or even for them to have just run into each other a few times at school (Rika, although her story p...

Poor Akira, though. :(
It's kind of sadly elegiac to read her account and Mutou's side by side. Yeah, I felt that. Doomed.

AtD—Akira's Arc (Part 5 up 20140513)

This is the fifth part of Akira Satou's arc from my post-Lilly-neutral-end mosaic, ' After the Dream '. In that continuity, it takes place on 8 Aug 2024. It parallels Mutou's story here . Caveat: Mutou's account of events and Akira's are parallel but have discrepancies. Neither is telling the whole...

Re: How'd you find yourself here?

One of my former students, just entering college, told me about it. He didn't say anything much else, just to try it and see. I played it almost non-stop for a week, taking breaks only for work. Along the way I stumbled into these forums. Now you're stuck with me… :D

Re: Yamaku Book Club (Now Reading: After the Dream: Rin's St

Alright, time to take a turn. Asofar, we've mainly covered the 'normal' type of fics, but nothing to crack or macabre, etc. Would anyone have any interest in such things? Ill draw the line at "With regards . . . ." and Xan's madness story as the opposite ends of the spectrum, anything more is to su...

Re: Yamaku Book Club (Now Reading: After the Dream: Rin's St

So after finally deciding to join the KS forums, I saw the "Book Club" and since it seemed like a cool/fun idea to join in on. So before posting my thoughts on "After the Dream: Rin's Story" let me say this " I did NOT read any of the the other parts of the "After the Dream" series , which in hinds...

Re: Yamaku Book Club (Now Reading: After the Dream: Rin's St

Sorry I haven't really participated this week, but I haven't found myself with much for comments beyond what's already been said and what I posted in the story thread when it was posted a few weeks ago. However, I have found that I do want to expand my thoughts on the Rin-Miki relationship. The rea...

Re: Endorphin Rush - An Emilogue (UPDATED 5/10/14)

That said, how interesting you can make Emi may depend on how well you respond in general to the question, "How much sympathy or empathy can I develop for plain vanilla people who suddenly experience trauma or who have trauma thrust upon them?" :) I'm guessing the reason Emi isn't over there yellin...

Re: AtD—Akira's Arc (Part 3 up 20140512)

Thinking about what you said in JohnnyTruant's thread about Emi being vanilla...I find it interesting that Akira seems to be the most vanilla of the characters in this story. I'm not saying it isn't appropriate, because it is, I'm just making a note of it :) . However, I mostly had to post because ...

Re: What if the 6 girls had attended Hisao's high school?

She went back to her old elementary school after being released from the hospital. (since she mentioned her old friends in the final scene of her route) Given the fact that was excluded from most groups in middle school, I'd say that one wasn't a special school either. Elementary is ages 6-12 (6 ye...
