Mind you, Closure was meant to be a pre-release fic, and release details contradicted it massively. So, that would be like someone making a burger before it was really known what a burger was, just that it had beef in it, and had vegetables, starch, and a sauce. The fact remains that he really shou...

I think I may have created a monster with that analogy... I also think my own position on the matter might be unclear. Generally speaking, I think I'm in agreement with Leaty. KS has a specific set of attributes by which it is identified (hence labelling it a Big Mac in my analogy - the referenced a...

Since they're said to dislike each other, it'd be likely that THEY would be quick to point out they're merely in-laws and not brothers by blood. That would be relevant if Jigoro or Hiroyuki ever identified themselves as such. By the text, we have Hideaki (whose motivations on this subject are inscr...

...You know, some people don't make a huge deal about pointing out "-in-law." Brothers-in-law are still brothers in much the same way that yellow trousers are still trousers. So they could be biological brothers with some cultural explanation as to why Jigoro took Hakamichi (or Hiroyuki took Satou),...

Hisao overhears Hanako talking about how she wishes she could go swimming. He goes to Emi and asks if she could talk to her connections in the PE department about using the pool after hours. The two of them sneak in after dark for swimming, fun, and sexytime in the pool. I approve. Sexytime in the ...

I have to admit that I agree with Leaty, Lloyd. Your comment is unfairly dismissive. Because it's something I like to do, I will present an analogy, and stretch it to the breaking point. KS is a Big Mac. KS fan fiction is a burger. People are discussing what makes a burger. Leaty holds that a burger...

Well, I guess the first order of business is to welcome you to this little corner of the internet. On to the story. As I'm sure you've seen (or will see) discussed here, a pseudo-route is a long and difficult undertaking that requires planning, perseverance, and hard work. Your first chapter is a so...

Posted this on the other thread, moving it here for orderliness. On the "anything goes" side, there's the fact that an excellent writer can take any idea, no matter how terrible, and somehow make it palatable. Most writers are limited in this regard, admitted, but there is the theoretical possibilit...

Well, a lot's been said, but I feel that I have some more that I'm only one of a few people qualified to say. As a preface, from what I've seen of Leaty, it's clear that she's a veteran of the world of fan fiction. Most of us here are just babies. She's certainly not 100% accurate, but she's been ar...

Seriously, out of all 5 characters, she is the *only* one that gets an extra scene after the credits? Because the writers of the other routes didn't feel it was necessary. "The Empire Strikes Back" had a dramatic reveal that Darth Vader, the Big Bad up to that point, was Luke's father. But it's not...

Such a wonderful game. I saw threads on /b occasionally about it, finally decided to try it one day, and wow. So much emotional turmoil through the entire thing. The characters feel so real, so alive. This game cheers me up when I play it, and depresses me when I have to put it down. Most of the pe...

Regarding the timeline: Hisao arrives at Yamaku on a Monday. The festival is the following Sunday. Many have tried to create one consistent timeline for all of KS but failed. I'd like to think that all the routes are consistent on their own, but getting them to exactly match with each other might b...

So, it's been over three months since I've updated, and you all have been extremely patient, so I feel you all deserve some kind of update. (No, this isn't a lead-up to bad news. You can relax.) As always, there are the various trivial meatspace considerations that get in the way of important stuff ...

(Haven't read the actual post yet, but I'll be getting there. Just felt I needed to chime in here.) Otherwise it would be pretty irreyposible to have Hisao go swimming on his own. Any mild heart attack could cause him to drown. True and false. It would be pretty irresponsible to have Hisao go swimmi...

Getting into the seasonal spirit, I see. Pretty fun overall, and a decent entry. Quite a bit of odd phrasing here and there, and the punctuation's all over the place, especially when it comes to the (over)use of ellipses and ellipsis wannabes. Nothing that couldn't be fixed witha little polish, thou...
