Re: Yamaku's Swimming Pool

You know, rather than speculation and assuming things can't be done without limbs (which is kinda hilarious that people are even making that assumption here), it wouldn't hurt to do a cursory bit of research. Tisha Unarmed (who's been mentioned here before) has a video of swimming without arms . Or,...

Re: Here's all of Doomish's old shit

I shall now endevour never to download that file, as previously reading the last fic you posted kinda scarred me a bit. That would be a mistake. Doomish has written a lot of excellent work. A good deal (but not all) of it is unpleasant, yes. But it's still worth reading. I would recommend the follo...

Re: Here's all of Doomish's old shit

I had archived a selection of Doomish's work for my own reference. It looks like I managed to salvage some of the works that he didn't, so after I saw this post, I contacted Doomish for his go-ahead to provide it, and he said it was okay. I think, for the most part, they were just copied from the fo...

Re: Redshift - Rika Route [10/2]

Thanks for the support, guys. Scene IV will be out in the near future. Nice chapter. You know I'll always take quality over quantity. Everyone always says this, but two months is still unacceptable. I know why you'd say this. Two months is a pretty big thing, especially in message board time. And i...

Re: Shizune Arc (misha, jigoro)

Well, I decided that I was letting my emotions get in the way of thinking clearly, and I probably said things that I shouldn't have said. And likely would have said more if I allowed myself to continue. So I decided to sit back and try to cool off before jumping back in. (Spoilered section is relate...

Re: Shizune Arc (misha, jigoro)

I never said you had to write a giant essay, but let's look back at a couple of the recent exchanges: More to the point, there is a significant difference. "I want to help people," is the airy, wishy-washy platitude of someone who doesn't know what they want to do with their life. "Really you want t...

Re: Shizune Arc (misha, jigoro)

Back and forth. I'll be honest with you - discussing Shizune with you is aggravating, because it feels like you are so blinded by your distaste for her that you simply can't think rationally when discussing her. I feel a strong temptation to dismiss your counter-arguments as no more substantial tha...

Re: Shizune Arc (misha, jigoro)

Going to have to disagree with you again about Shizune getting a goal. She states earlier that she wanted to be Student Council president to help people then her big revelation later in the game is that she wants to grow up and help people? She really didn't change at all. She has no more of a goal...

Re: Shizune Arc (misha, jigoro)

[ Even if Jigoro does not know sign language, he has been exposed to sign language enough (and has hired interpreters likely to explain) that he should be aware of two key details. 1) Interpreters repeat both sides of the conversation the parties exactly (or as exactly as possible, given translatio...

Re: The great fan fiction archive

I basically agree with everything ProfAllister said, but I want to point something out: Miki x Shizune Does this exist anywhere? It sounds awesome... Maybe if I weren't concentrating on other things... Doesn't exist to my knowledge, hencemy slipping it in in the middle of everything else. A bit of ...

Re: The great fan fiction archive

All of this discussion about how the archive is organised and whether certain things should be consolidated seems to tie back to one key point - this archive doesn't seem to have a clear(ly stated) purpose. The obvious solution is to look at the archive and try to determine what value it adds. In ot...

Re: Blossom - A Miki pseudo-route [Update: 08/09/2013]

SO far it seems like it might be interesting. We'll see where it goes. Not certain how much I like Hisao casually referring to Miki's "stump," though. I'd imagine him trying to tactfully avoid mentioning (even internally) her lack of a hand. However... WARNING: NARCOLEPSY-RELATED RANT INCOMING Sciss...

Re: Tips for fanfiction writers (that means YOU)

*ahem* Before you start writing anything, you should be bothered to do at least a basic level of research. This goes double for writing a story that attempts to seriously address how someone deals with a disability. Writing a story based on common stereotypes and a bare modicum of research would be ...

Re: Miki and Taro: Rat Race

“Haven’t you noticed that a lot of the girls around here have been looking a bit off these past few days?” I ask him. So... All the girls at Yamaku get their period around the same time? I've heard about girls "synching" their roommates, but that's a bit... excessive. (Though Shizune might just be ...
