This is the first part of Rika's arc in my post-Lilly-neutral-end mosaic, ' After the Dream '. The arc consists of the following parts: Rika 1 — The Chance of a Ghost (this post) Rika 2 — Watching the Watchers Rika 3 — Counter-clockwise Rika 4 — Sword of the Mountain Rika 5 — Heartache Rika 6 — Gho...

I have to be contrary and say that this was probably the highlight of the Saki compilation for me. In the VN, Mutou has little to no depth. We see nothing of his personal life, or of his motivation. For the most part, all we see is that he is tired all the time, somewhat awkward, passionate about h...

Reading through this triptych a third time, I felt that the Mutou backstory here could easily have become head canon. The main difficulty is that this Mutou is somewhat divorced from the characters we know, because the story is effectively a prequel or prologue. I can see it as being developed furth...

[...] if she's one of the last routes you play (or THE last) then the feeling of having been on a journey isn't there as much but... it's a good route. I completely agree. I actually regretted not doing hers LAST (I did it second last before Rin's), after I finished it, since it makes such a good b...

Sometimes, the strangest people visit me.

Misha promises herself. If I were to promise Misha, she'd make a dirty joke.

I'm always dozing off at my desk these days. Fortunately, this desk, like all my others, was designed to have plenty of space for sleeping. I'm woken with a start. It's a warm afternoon and sunlight lances through a gap in the curtains and across my face. "Hello, author." In the relative dimness of ...

That would be either an awesome tribute to a friend or a great prank on said friend…

I have to admit I've been shocked to see that Munch's story spawned a discussion of this length. I mean, it seems like it was obviously intended as a joke in narrative format, as opposed to an actual, serious attempt at artistic narrative or something. Aren't we overthinking it a little bit? If we'...

I thought this one was worth thinking about…

A Bowl of Noodles, a Cup of Coffee, a Glass of Beer from themocaw.

Yep. Writing from Rin PoV at seven different chronological points throughout her life has to be very difficult, and to me you've handled it meticulously. I was looking forward to Misha's PoV perhaps moreso than the other character's. I know I'm going to read it anyway, so I won't do the routine whe...

Hory shiet. That was pretty spot on. Feels man, the feels. Personally, I will accept most creative liberties that fic writers come up with, like a RinMiki relationship. Still, I'm curious as to how Miki died. Her tombstone is awesome, though. Also, Rin still has red hair at age 75? Not even a touch...

Although 'After the Dream' now has all its main arcs in place, as far as the young ladies of KS's main routes are concerned, there's a lot more space in that mosaic, many more stories to be told. For now, though, I am happy to have told five stories that are actually one story. And in time for the c...

This is the seventh and final part of Rin's arc in 'After the Dream', my post-Lilly-neutral-end mosaic. Rin 7: Redress (T +40) I look into the very big mirror. Rin looks at me and I look back. She is tall and thin and pale and naked, and her red hair flows over her shoulders. It is like flowers and...

Possibly. On the other hand, "our lives are in control of some far-off entity" is a fair summary of numerous religions and those people seem content enough for the most part. :lol: Or they'll just decide the players are fate incarnate which would be awesome. Though if they could peek into these oth...

Following up from this post … So what is the limit to 'transgressive literature' in fan fiction? Things always need shaking up. But will any old shaking up do? Or must there still be some rules to follow? My take on it is that over time fan communities form, develop, evolve. Unwritten rules come wit...
