Re: Liking Shizune but not enjoying her route?

I'm not completely ruling out the possibility that there's a lot more to Jigoro than meets the eye, but I'm also not ruling out the possibility that whatever subtle cultural references can be found in Jigoro's character may be coincidental after all since he clashes spectacularly with typical Japan...

Re: Ever stop and realize how many bad endings happen every

That would be a relationship continuing on good terms. Friendship is still a form of relationship. Though in KS terms, I guess those would be neutral ends... You break up with our other half, you don't describe still being friends with them as a 'relationship' because you'll confuse the hell out of...

Re: Ever stop and realize how many bad endings happen every

Otherwise, one of two things happen: - The relationship goes bad and ends on bad terms. (Bad end) - The relationship continues on good terms. (Not an end at all, but an ongoing story) Relationships can end on good terms too. You can reach an amicable decision to end it, and can remain on good terms...

Re: After the Dream—Misha's Arc (Part 1 up 20140413)

Time for me to say thay I really enjoy your After the Dream series. This MIsha opening was another strong one. I have to say though, I usually enjoy even the sad stories quite a bit but there's so much sadness and melancholy in a lot of these pieces, it almost becomes a tad too much for me. Especia...

Re: The Boy With No Leg

I agree to some extent with the previous posters. Here are some further observations. 1) You can indeed use Japanese honorifics and suchlike. But you should at least do some research first, get a feel for them. Here's a good start: [ External Link ] 2) It's ok to use metaphors and imagery if you are...

Curator's Update (20140412)

Yes, this index is getting a little messy. I do have minor characters—many of us here do, and their vignettes have to go into the index as well. At this point, I know what the mosaic looks like, but I don't see a better way to index it. Added: Rika and Akira vignettes. Also: Misha's arc has begun.

This is the second part of Akira's arc in my ' After the Dream ' post-Lilly-neutral-end mosaic. It takes place in 2017 in that continuity, just before this part of Lilly's arc. Akira 2: Working (T -7) And here I thought I’d got rid of all of that shit. I look at my cousin with loathing, which is re...

Re: After the Dream—Other Material (Rika upd 20140412)

I must say I find Rika's character-voice very interesting and appealing. I have read even less Rika fic than I have Saki fic (i.e., I have read nothing beyond the original April Fools post and the occasional fic like TD where she has appeared as a side character), so it may be that it's based on so...

… you see a picture of Zealot, kherubim warrior, and think, "Wait, that's not how Rika Katayama is supposed to look."

I agree, and I think there is a natural affinity here between the writer and the subject. :)

Re: Developments (Post-Lilly Neutral End) - Chapter 38 up 4/

Bravo! Emi at her Emi-est, in some particular ways. It feels a lot more substantial than some of the thinner bits earlier. Emi is so real. She's like the Emi that comes and hangs around in my room when I'm trying to write Misha. :)
