Oh no. Can't unsee…

Now whenever I see something like "Can You Stand Up For Yourself?" I will think of "A Series of Unfortunate Questions".

Preamble: I've just come off a 'writer's high' in which I wrote about 80,000 words of fanfic in about two months. So please bear with me as I try to set down the things that helped me, before I forget them all. Thanks! 1. Try to get the full KS experience . I played through all the routes in KS (som...

The key part of this technically nicely-written piece is that music box, for me. Boxes are symbolic of hidden treasure, of secret knowledge, of covenants and promises. This one creates the turning point that makes Lilly decide to return to Hisao on her own, not because he's had a heart attack, and t...

Ooh. Thanks for that. Although when I see the one on the right, I think 'Nurse' by association.

Now that Misha's story is done, the main work is complete. Who knows what else remains to be told? All of it. That is one of the greatest beauties of a work like this. You -- or anyone, really -- can add pieces to it and let it grow. It'll take a while before I really know where this mosaic fits in...

I fully approve of the Misha and Rin friendship ending -- especially a happy one with lots of parfaits! Seriously, I've loved all the arcs -- but I think this is the best one. Thank you very much! However, to agree with you would be to invite the (haha!~ surely not unwanted, author-san? awww, Misha...

BTW: I have no idea why I just now think of that. But "Seven" anyone? Think about it the girls form a team of serial killers and go around murdering people in that fashion. And you guessed it, Brad Pitt is Kenji and Morgan Freeman Mutou. The Magnificent Seven, which itself comes from The Seven Samu...

Just readi the whole thing. Dear God, the waterworks haven't flowed this much and so long in many a year. Well done author, you out-feeled the original materiel. Thank you! It wasn't my intention, really; just a tribute to that story we all love so much! :) Now that Misha's story is done, the main ...

This is the seventh and last part of Misha's arc in 'After the Dream', my post-Lilly-neutral-end mosaic. It gets harder to follow Misha's non-linear musings; I think this piece centres around 2064 and has flashbacks. This part probably comes before Rin's arc here and then joins it here at the end; ...

We didn't count the number of moles on anyone's butt, but obviously things like mannerisms, posture, body language and such are important to be able to both write and illustrate a character. I spent a lot of time with kamifish thinking about Rin's body language, because she can't use hands which ar...

My personal answer is that her last relationship was with Hisao. After his death, she had no more relationships of that kind. Heh heh. We don't know about her prior relationships, though.

Then again, imaginary boarding school for imaginary girl who goes to imaginary academy… would be nice to find real-life analogues all the time, but what can we do? :) Question: how much physical detail was provided for each character when working on art and story? Or were just the obvious plot point...

Akira and Lilly attended the same (strict girls-only) middle school. Akira attended it while the family was living in home A. Lilly attended it 7 years later while she and Akira were living in home B. Seeing how far home A and home B are apart, one of the two (or both) would have needed an airplane...

I would have tried to write all the girls, with interconnected routes and a believable back-story. I'd have gone for up to seven of them, adding in a couple more just to make it balance — because eight (seven plus the zero option) is a good number for people obsessed with digital coding. :) I probab...
