Instead of creating a new thread, I thought of reviving this one. After all, the anniversary of our somewhat moribund library is on 25 August; it will be two years old by then. I wonder if anyone is taking over the Library thread, since I haven't seen its owners (Comrade, mainly, and Sea, to some ex...

Scene Nineteen was Bantamweights . ...Just kidding. Bantamweights is more like "Scene Two-Alpha." (Which I guess makes "Out Cold" Scene 1α, and Chapter 60 of Developments Scene 60α...) I'm hoping to release the real Scene 19 by the end of the summer, but the other thing took precedence for obvious ...

For me, in this time and age, it's Hiroshima Day, seventy years after the light of a thousand suns flashed against the rising sun. As I contemplate this, moodily looking down at my Hiroshima Anniversary tie from twenty years ago, I sense a presence ease into the seat beside mine. "Good day, author-s...

Eguana made this. I commissioned it as a gift to myself, but I guess I should share it here: http://i.imgur.com/kPGP1kj.jpg The person sitting in Hisao's chair is alternate universe Iwanako , in case anybody was wondering. I love that Latinate construction: Eguana mea fecit. It's a nicely evocative...

Developments being a slice-of-life story stylistically, just because it's ending doesn't mean that these people aren't still going to be growing and facing challenges later on. There are a lot more stories left to tell of their lives -- all of them. I so want to collaborate with you when you come o...

The word 'interlude' comes from mediaeval Latin meaning 'between plays'. It was around the mid-1700s that it came to mean a pause in the action of a story. I wasn't quite sure what this one was, but I think it does indeed qualify as an interlude. Lanyard: An Interlude Hanako paused, making sure to ...

You have a great 10,526 words out there. They capture the three characters' histories and interactions well, and the plot is coming along nicely too. Would love to see more of it here.

I have a strong preference for posting on-site because I like my comments and the text to be in the same place, for ease of discussion etc. Seems odd to be making comments on material that's not present.

Well, congrats on reaching the end of the main story, I guess. I agree with Mahorfeus that the story didn't need to have this kind of heavy conflict introduced this late in, and with azumeow that Mai is a bit hard on Hisao, but other than that it was a fitting conclusion to a great story. It's not ...

This is an odd one. It fits into the continuity of my 'After the Dream' mosaic, as in Hanako's arc . However, it also introduces a character from somewhere else—and it has a distinctly unusual setting. Between (2030) “W-what’s the surprise, husband?” “Ah, it always makes me feel so embarrassed to t...

I love the way you and dewelar went full circle and then did a mirror-MTtB Iwanako thing. Amazing. Very thought-provoking, and because it's grounded in mirror-MTtB Iwanako, very deep and satisfying. Thanks very much, and also for fleshing out Mai in particular!

Next? Next?! That can't be all?! Surely?

Aww, I really loved this last (no, not last?!) chapter. Argh. I can see all the bits Leaty put you up to. "大道寺" indeed.

Will digest and then resume. Thanks so very much!

It is, as usual, my pleasure to present a completed arc from the 'After The Dream' mosaic. Unusually, I feel ambivalent about it. It isn't really a proper arc; it's something my co-editors pieced together from the little that Hisao left behind. I've named it 'Ruthenium' because of the special place ...

Greetings to fellow KS aficionados, and welcome to August! I gather the consensus about Leaty's Iwanako so far is that the Iwanako of Mean Time to Breakdown is psychologically a very realistic character. Leaty's hinted several times that the realism comes from her own experiences of life and humanit...
