That being said, as soon as it ticks midnight on the 31st, I'm going to spam this thread with Christmas pics :D
On the 31st of which month?

Re: Yamaku Book Club (Meeting Resumes—[Jigoro/Hideaki])

I'll tackle Jigoro first, then... [interesting comments] I find it interesting that one of the 'Jigoro' themes is about his 'businessman' persona—how businesslike he is, what business he is in, and so on. The other thing is his verbosity, whether in person or in his autobiography. I wonder what oth...

Interlude (20151110)

"Even for you, that was devious," she says. I can hear the starched disapproval in her voice. I look up into her mismatched eyes. "Devious, Ooe-san?" "Yes. We were having those meetings about our crazy friend's memoirs and then you go and talk to Misaki behind my back." "Behind your back? Wasn't it ...

Regrettably (20151110)

What place has private regret in the public domain? In Japan, very little. Regrettably (2026) It was spring, and the season of the cherry blossoms would soon be upon us. My old friend Natsume Ooe, nominally my boss in some ways, was grimly silent. It took me several minutes, as I endured what shoul...

Editorial Meeting 20151108

It's a month or so since the last editorial meeting. And here I am sitting up on the roof. I hate the roof: I'm not a roof-man myself. I watch the two of them, some distance away from me, and I sip the Glenmorangie Signet that the scruffy-looking one brought. The scruffier, I should say. They're sti...

Re: Yamaku Book Club (Meeting Resumes—[Jigoro/Hideaki])

I'd go so far as to say that Jigoro and Hideaki are two of the main reasons I disliked the Shizune route. Honestly, I have little to say about them. Hideaki is probably the worst character in the game. Errm, guys, the discussions are about the fanfics and not the VN. Yeah, all that you've said is p...

Re: Fanfiction: Fractures (Completed 07/11/15)

I think Fractures has established a place in our Yamaku Library* by virtue of it being the best example of the thriller genre in the whole place. It's long and strong and well-paced. Also, was delivered in relatively prompt instalments, which helped some of us keep abreast of the plot. Of course we'...

Re: NaNoWrimo?

I'm personally revamping my old Naomi x Hisao Fic for NaNoWriMo this year. NaNoWriMo is shorthand for National Novel Writing Month, where the goal is to write 50,000 words in the month of November. I tried posting on the forums for NaNo, callin' out to anyone taking the plunge, but uh, everyone is ...

Meeting Resumes—[Jigoro/Hideaki])

A week's reading time has almost elapsed . Apart from Numb's fascinating (and sadly still incomplete) foray into the fanfic dynamics of the Hakamichi family, much remains to be said. Some of us have been hoarding ammunition; it might be time for a celebratory barrage. Feel free to join in with your...

That's a beautiful story. Who would've thought that Hisao had such a pretty sister? :D

Ah, sorry. Wasn't thinking of it that way.

Re: Mike Inel's 'Missing Halloween' 30 Oct 2015

If she's dead, that's just seeing a ghost which is a paranormal ability, not a mental illness. If she's just a hallucination then she's not dead - because she doesn't exist. If she's his hallucination of an actual dead girl, well, she's still dead at the end so he didn't help. So either he's not cr...

Re: Yamaku Book Club (Meeting Resumes—[Jigoro/Hideaki])

While I have yet to write something exploring the idea more eloquently, I have what I find to be an interesting view on Jigoro as a character. A lot of it boils down to Jigoro being a victim of injustice at the hands of the Satou family, and his attempts to fix the problem through less-than-legal m...
