Re: Firing Blanks - (Updated 5/20) Basically just Shizune/Ha

She has this double standard for herself, never letting others see her flaws, even if they're eating her from the inside. To me, that screams pride far more than it does anything else. Even Hisao can show Hanako a more vulnerable side, showing his scars and relating his experiances in the hospital....

Re: The Ties that Bind (Shizune x Hisao, one-shot)

Guilty as charged, not that I'll say it out loud. Not that she could if she would either :-) if they add to what I'm writing and serve a point other than "zomg sex," I'll write them. Very sensible. One other thing. This is not meant to be a criticism about your story, just something I thought about...

Sign Language

I've been reading quite a bit about sign language since I got here. I don't actually know many signs, and this may vary between all the various different sign languages, but one thing that stuck out to me is that one key difference is that it's hard to express complex thoughts in a way that will con...

Re: The First Week –A Soon-hee Story

Well, count me among those from the first group :-) Since this is set before the Manila chapters I doubt Soon Hee will do any serious monster hunting in this one, but, hey, who knows... The room description in the beginning is inexplicably past tense. I was still getting use to that. Or maybe I was ...

Re: The Benefit of Hindsight (updated 5/28!)

“You want to know what happened with your cousin and I me , right?” ... She wants to know. She's worried, about Shizune, or I me , or both. Oh well, Lilly and Hisao at Yamaku makes vastly more sense than Hisao and Hanako at Yamaku or Hisao and Emi at Yamaku, so I'm not gonna complain. Not to mentio...

Re: Katawa Kijo

Mirage has gotten better as a writer since then, Interesting - considering I haven't actually written all that much since then :-) And yes, it probably is rushed compared to a lot of other fictions, but I'm really not the type to put in whole chapters as padding in between the relevant plot. If I w...

Re: Emi Epilogue - Stopping Short (UPDATED 5/25/2015: CHAPTE

Also, kind of off topic here, but what exactly did you think of the decision in Shizune's route? It seems like it was essentially the same thing, where there are no choices until the very end and that one factor is what decides the outcome of the story. The biggest differences I can see are that it...

Re: Emi Epilogue - Stopping Short (UPDATED 4/8/2015: CHAPTER

Does the biggest problem lie in the decision's lack of clarity for which could lead to which ending, or the fact that the decision itself was kind of insignificant in terms of the overall plot? Or maybe the writing in the bad end was just shit, I dunno. XD The writing was not the problem. Regarding...

Re: Emi Epilogue - Stopping Short (UPDATED 4/8/2015: CHAPTER

Thanks :-) However, I don't really think it's too much of a "f*** you" in the case of a story with two endings, as all you have to do afterwards is choose the different decision and read the good ending. So if you expect your readers to be underwhelmed with the first branch from the get go; that the...

Re: Ask!

Is there ANY CHANCE for Katawa Shoujo 2? And if you don't mind, can you give an explanation to why, and also the timeframe that we can expect for the release? Please. Pretty please? :P No chance. Because the devs said so : Q: Will there be a fandisc, sequel, or prequel to Katawa Shoujo? A: No. Ther...

Re: Emi Epilogue - Stopping Short (UPDATED 4/8/2015: CHAPTER

Well... That "self-conversation" certainly was like no other I've ever read about ^^° The "accident" in the first ending was a bit too much to believe. A boy full on tackles a girl out of the way of a speeding sports car (one that was liberally using its horn at that), and that biker didn't notice a...

Re: Yamaku Book Club (Meeting In Progress 25 May 2015)

Oh yes. This is a story that should have stayed buried... If you have to explain a story and it still doesn't make any sense that should be a good indication that something has gone really wrong. I won't repeat what the other commenters have already said, but instead quote myself from back when: ......

Re: The Benefit of Hindsight

A word about school in Japan: This chapter makes it sound like Hisao will be teaching only one class, but that would hardly be a full time job. This is the class that Hisao will be the homeroom -teacher of, but he would usually be teaching science in other classes (and in those classes's rooms) as w...

Re: The Benefit of Hindsight

Ooh, a Shizune fic! And here I felt like the only Shizune writer on the forums. It's an excellent start! Your writing is wonderfully paced, and I guess, balanced? I can't point to any one trait that stands out, but you have quality in every category. I can't wait to see how you take things from her...
