Re: Yamaku Book Club (20181105 Afternoon Astral Projection)

Well, that escalated quickly... I think that was one of the first - if not the first - stories by Kosher, and it did a lot to cement his reputation as the most... unique purveyor of H-stories around here. Personally I'm not the biggest fan of such stories in general, but I've mostly enjoyed those by...

Re: Yet another one-shot thread

Even if it is just a one-shot, I feel that it does stand well on its own.

Hmm... At first I equated the "replenishment hive" with the Aura Mart, but that doesn't work out so well... The cafeteria? But that doesn't fit the "weekly"...

Re: Arrival [updated 10-27-18]

During the 00's, our federal sales tax changed twice in like six years or something. So having the tax added at the register probably saved businesses some time, since the sticker price of goods didn't change as a result of the tax change. Really? Stores change their price stickers every time they ...

Re: Arrival [updated 10-27-18]

Indeed I didn't. I've visited around 15 countries in my life (not counting stopovers, because I didn't buy anything there) but the US are not among them. You really have to add VAT to the prices on all the goods by yourself? Our consumer protection associations would throw a fit. I think it would be...

Re: Velvet sleeves (First real fic)

Okay... I think I've never seen a Akira X Rin story before, and I guess for good reason... I mean it was pretty obvious that it would be a girl from the way Akira used "they" all the time, and Lilly, being a language teacher, should probably have picked up on this long before as well. I'm not really...

Re: Yamaku Book Club (20181029 Birth of a Fighter)

Well, that story didn't do much for me. For being so short there were quite a few inconsistencies in the setting that kept me from taking it seriously. Besides I always have problems with stories of exaggerated bullying like that. Japan may have a culture of bullying worse than most countries, but t...

Re: Arrival [updated 10-27-18]

I’d forgotten about the tax. Stupid stupid stupid! How could I forget about the tax? It was true I’d rarely ever bought anything, but I wasn’t a child. I knew about taxes. Hmm... In my experience the taxes are included in the price of the items when shopping in Japan - certainly in convenience stor...

Re: Yet Another One-shot Repository (New Entry 10/23/18)

Sadly, Urban Dictionary can only carry you so far. Especially when it's not a sexual euphemism. I'd translate it as "that's really not my style"; other people may be into it, and that's cool, but it's not for me.
Oh, so it was about the name, not the boob thing...

Short. Fun. Miki. I like it. I’m not about that life Had to consult urban dictionary for that one. Still not sure what exactly Miki meant in that context... Also, do people actually say "boobs" accidentally in conversations? Jokes like that always destroy immersion for me. But the most unrealistic t...

Re: Yamaku Book Club (20180924 Sherlock Hisao)

Well, if that was supposed to be Hanako, then good job making her unrecognizable even with the scars... For one thing Hanako is not asthmatic. Then it doesn't make sense for Lilly to just make one random appearance in her life and then disappear again. If she left for Scotland and came back just to ...

Re: Yamaku Book Club (20180924 Sherlock Hisao)

Since I don't think I commented back then I'll do it now - even though I don't have very much to say about the story. It's quite typical for Lord Darknus. His writing is impeccable though I find it a bit stilted and herd to read. As for the story, having never owned a pet of any kind I find it hard ...

Re: Katawa Shoujo for Rimworld

Well, that is part of the authentic Rimworld experience... But I think even without all the character introductions in the OP (I know you shouldn't do this in Fanfiction, but it's only Fanfiction in a very loose sense in the first place) they should all be easily recognizable :-)

Well, I can certainly relate to that. A friend of mine often has a booth seling Anime and Manga at conventions, and I often spend sizeable chunks of time helping out even if I'm there with a regular ticket. I'm thinking about going to Comiket for the first time myself next year - not sure if it will...
