What if Shizune's mother is Lilly's sick aunt? It'd make sense for her to be in Scotland if she's a businesswoman, as the family business is based there, and she is Lilly's aunt... Damn, if I wasn't busy with VN work, I'd write something about that :lol: Strange how different people end up with the...

Color theory is important to me, and I didn't want her to share a palette with any of the Main Five. This is among the reasons I gave Aiko mid-range brown hair, Amaya and Tadao jet black, Kenta sandy-brown, Yoko fiery red, and Naoko forest green; not one of them shares hair color with the original ...

That's an excellent point. It would be headcanon to me. But I still think Hanako would initially see a doppleganger and be psychologically convinced. It's like those images which you think are identical, until you take a very careful look and see they're not at all. Hanako has a very low self-image...

On a completely different note, I've been thinking of what it means in terms of the story for Misha not having noticeable disabilities. The story function of the disabilities is to show that each of the women are very strong, capable and resourceful. Misha doesn't get that. That's not to say that M...

Now that I've actually written four reasonably-sized pieces, I have to say that episodes work better for me. I'm better at linked miniatures than bigger things, mainly because I have an obsessive urge to polish things, and one large thing is harder to polish than several small things.

Just a couple of small points: 1) If you have somebody real in mind, that can be helpful—especially if you're close enough to them to see between the lines, in a manner of speaking. 2) If you have a clear theme song for a character, playing it repeatedly while writing may help you get into the spiri...

I've never really put much thought into her character. I suppose she'd be the one in the family that knew sign language. Most of Shizune's interaction with others would have been through her. I don't much care for the idea of her being dead either. We already have two of our heroines with dead pare...

This is the second half of the final part of Hanako's arc in 'After the Dream', my post-Lilly-neutral-end mosaic. Notes: For those interested in Kojo No Tsuki , the song can be found in many places —  here 's a more English-friendly YouTube link. This half-part has also been edited a little, with t...

This begins the final part of Hanako's arc in 'After the Dream', my post-Lilly-neutral-end mosaic. Minor edits incorporated, thanks to several members of this wonderful community. Hanako 7: Findings (T +55) When I tell people that my aged husband Hideaki has killed a bear and eaten its liver, it is...

The simplest answer to this is that you can dismiss any aesthetic differences between Iwanako's sole CG and Hanako's general appearance as being an artistic quirk. if Iwanako actually had a sprite in Katawa Shoujo, even if her design was identical to Hanako sans fringe and scarring, she would look ...

Right then, switch the story to: Numbered Days by Leotrak (completed, 27.804 words) PoV: Hisao; Pairings: Hisao X Hanako; Begins: during prologue Remarks: Time Loop I shall preface it by saying this was written during the beta, so keep that in mind, and if its crap, we can change again. I'll wait f...

Iwanako can look however you decide. The only canonical feature is her long, dark hair, and modern cosmetology can alter that extensively, so she's a blank slate. Aside from being female, you can pretty much make up whatever appearance you want, which you can then wield as a literary device to meet...

When Hisao dies suddenly, especially in that situation - just as they're about to greet a second child... Minor non-spoiler correction: Hisao dies about two years after the cardiac incident he suffered on the day his son Akira was born. The parenthetical (sorry!) chapter 'T' numbers are arranged ar...

I think that book-club-wise, I'm a little bit shallow in terms of how I'd choose a 'book'. I like being surprised, and there's a lot of unexplored stuff, or even stuff I've read but not with a slow and critical eye. I would vote for older pieces because of that, since I'm relatively new here. But I'...

I think the main point wouldn't be to do with our perceptions of the two, but with Hanako's self-perception vs her perception of the other as they come together at Hisao's grave…
