The Rin Katawa example is fine because it's a small reference embedded into a meaningless detail. I'm not sure if this would be better in the 'Ask' thread, but since the topic has arisen here, let me ask here: Suppose I produced a work in which one of my characters was said to "have a poster of Han...

Over the long months, I've come to recognise that the people I've been working with have each their own distinct aura. In some cases, it is an intangible presence, perhaps of pheromones, of emotion, of animal sexuality. In some cases it is a distinct fragrance, or a more shadowy and elusive phenomen...

Clearly I need to improve my fictional story writing :( . I think I'm just going to start over again and only post summaries, that way you guys can help me along if you wouldn't mind. Like I mentioned before, I do write papers but most of the stuff I work on involves research papers, not fiction, a...

Editor's Note : Here begins Book Six of the records of Kenji Setou, the eccentric officer who became known as 'Japan Central'. At the time I write this, Book Five has not yet been found, except for a few very scattered and distorted fragments. I trust that the gap between the 2020s and this account...

I suppose this is a kind of thematic sequel to #18—A Bear Discovers Fire . However, it isn't from that continuity or any other I've written so far. It can't be, for obvious reasons. A Bear Discovers Tears being an excerpt from the secret sections of ‘The Autobiography of Hakamichi Jigoro’ (2008 Edi...

So is MTtB "an incomplete sequence in which Hisao Nakai abandons his girlfriend to a life of eternal suffering"?

That... sounds terribly familiar!

A long time ago, I developed (haha) the habit of trying to summarise every work I read in one sentence. For example, Gajzla's Miki:Fragments is 'more than 30 chapters about Miki worrying about her past', and my own After The Dream is '200 chapters of bleak' (thanks, BM; but no, not really). Developm...

Book One of Straw—A Dream of Suzu is now complete. It covers Suzu's life from 2007 to 2045, from the time just before leaving Yamaku to another episode involving the school. Its contents are as follows. It's a strange story indeed. And of course, it doesn't end there. 1a: Dormant (May 2007) 1b: Dorm...

Good stuff. Is this 'genuine' back story for the rest of your Naomi-verse?

This is the second part of the fifth section of the Suzuki files. There is a gap between this and the first part of about five years. So far, that gap hasn't been satisfactorily filled. Suzu 5b: Futility (T +21) 2045 I am a rice-straw, not what they think; I am a name dissolved in its ink. It took ...

Our colleague swampie2 has posted yet another interesting summary comment up on the Developments thread: [LINK]

Since I have a slight interest in history, as well as being partly descended from a Scottish clan myself (a MacDonald on my great-grandmother's side, likely a descendant of an emigrated family from the MacDonells of Glengarry or MacDonald of Keppoch), my personal headcanon regarding Lilly's part-Sc...

It's simple. Hanako's kid hasn't discovered bacon yet.

Just give her some time.
It'll happen.

True. After all, for genotype to express in phenotype, the right environmental conditions must exist.

you have to try harder, Munch!
