Re: Yamaku Book Club (Iwanako Rising)

The weekend is coming to an end itself. The last desperate sounds of fading alternate-Hisaos have been recorded by the Blank Mage, amongst others. Are you all ready for a return to the wintry wood where the mystery of Iwanako's Eve awaits Hisao's Adam? Here is a document that might be of use (somewh...

Re: KS Writing Club: Cherry Blossoms (Updated 06/27/15)

I have the feeling you are writing two stories set in different times. One of you is writing a story at the end of the school year and one of you is writing a story set at Tanabata :? Actually, that's a very perceptive comment. I think you're right. It would be good to get a timeline (Hisao arrives...

Re: Yamaku Book Club (Iwanako Rising)

You're right. I'd entirely forgotten about that ending - largely, I think, because of just how out of character it does feel, versus the neutral ending, which seems the much more likely negative ending for the two of them. The fact that those moments stand out so glaringly, I think, supports my ove...

Re: Yamaku Book Club (Iwanako Rising)

Whoever Hisao is at the beginning of canon is different from who he is at the end, whether the difference is growth or... something else. Whatever his previous life (and we do have some clues, as SirKaid says), his interactions at Yamaku reflect the new reality of his heart. Hisao is scarcely a sta...

Re: A reply to Iwanako

Hi! It's a brave attempt, what you've done. Simple, direct. Doesn't convey much about Hisao's current (Yamaku) situation, though. The form of the letter is very Anglophone. That's fine, but it comes across as even more Anglo than Hisao in KS. :) Could you note some differences between Japanese and ...

Chairman's Closing Comments (for June)

I hesitate to interfere too much in this discussion, but there's one thing I'd like to point out, since I think it's been overlooked... Intentionally, your honour! :) I was going to leave it to you, but I'm glad you've already kickstarted it. Oh, and before I forget, thank you all for the words of ...

Re: Yamaku Book Club (Iwanako Rising)

On the topic of Leaty and the ever-elusive Iwanako route, consider reading this post . At the risk of going somewhat off-topic for a moment, Leaty raises a lot of good points in that post. I'd say I agree with 99% of what she said, the only thing I would disagree with is the ending remark that "nob...

Re: Yamaku Book Club (Iwanako Rising)

And really, who even wants to write an Iwanako fic now? I sure as hell don't. That's like trying to write a contemporary fantasy piece on the same board as JK Rowling: you might be great, but comparisons will be drawn, and you will fail. I do. Implicit in Leaty's own approach is that she's created ...

Dunno, mate. Was just trying it on. I think it's an experimental Kenji/Suzu, but Hisao/Suzu might work too. :D

Nope. Carry on. Good work so far, very entertaining, rather fresh, excellent use of graphic aids. :)

Sakura—The Kenji Saga (Part 4-4b up 20150623)

This is the ninth section of the fourth part of the redacted archive of Kenji Setou. In which Kenji thinks about his legacy — either too little or too much. Kenji 4: The World Turned Upside-Down (September 2023-March 2024) For some years I had been thinking about it. Maybe all those conspiracy theo...

Alt Dreams [One-Shots] (27—'Sleeper') (20150623)

Some time ago, a guy named Luke got me writing KS fiction outside these forums. That's all I'll say about that. Let me introduce you to an unnamed protagonist and a cyan-haired femme fatale who might seem oddly familiar. The Big Sleeper I knew the dame was trouble when I had to ask her out. So I gu...
