Re: Tomorrow's Doom - Aiko Kurai (OC) Updated 7/16
However, “almost only counts in horse-shoes and hand-grenades.” What? The rest of the lunch period flies by with considerably less tension. We ate, talked about class, reminisced about the festival a little -avoiding certain topics- and groaned about the tests we had to take earlier. Prime example ...

Re: The United States of Misha Updated 7/10
Warhammer 40k- I'd call that roleplaying, and Mirage, it occurs in Chapter Five- For the Emperor! But yes, they were playing with the minitaures. They just really get into it- although Lynda's just in it for the cape. See, that's the kind of stuff, had I made clearer, woulda made her character less...

Re: Five Year Illumination (A Reunion Tale). S7 Updated 7/14
Is Miyagi actually the English teacher or was that just fanon? Or are you talking about Pat Morita (please let it be that)? Ms Miyagi does not have any appearances in the VN, but she is mentioned by Lilly once. There is a semi-canon story by CplCrud (I think) featuring her. Ah, good to know. I thou...

Re: Raita comments on Katawa Shoujo on his homepage
Interestingly, he doesn't say anything about the VN itself. He just praises the dedication of the Dev team...
Three possibilities:
1. He didn't read it yet. (no idea how good his English is)
2. He didn't like it, but is too polite to say so.
3. He just doesn't want to comment on that for some reason.

Re: The United States of Misha Updated 7/10
Is there any LARP W40K in the story? I was under the impression they were playing with the miniatures.
Regarding Lynda - I wouldn't go quite as far in my critique, but I sometimes wondered if she was really bipolar. If she hadn't told us, I wouldn't have guessed.

I really would like some feedback here. Delving into the insecurities of a teenage girl is new territory. Well, my feedback usually comes in the form of (hopefully) constructive criticism, so I don't have much to say about the story. Your characters are all very well worked out, and currently this ...

“So you don't want me to go home with you?” She asked me. Rin could be very confusing, at least to me, I wanted to be sure what she meant. So I asked. “It's this or that.” “Excuse me?” “Either I go home with you Hisao or I stay here, what do you think I'd prefer?” Who is saying What here? Also, muc...

And there go another few hours of my time. I consider them well spent, but smaller bits would be easier to chew. A few nitpicks: “Welcome to half an hour ago.” Shouldn't that be "Welcome to half an hour into the future!" or something like that? Hisao looks like he doesn't quite know what to say at t...

Re: High Times At Yamaku University
That was cigarettes, and while those will kill you as well, the effects are rather long-term.
Drugs are known to affect stuff like heart-rate not to mention any problems in combination with Hisao's plentiful medications.
