Re: Shizune Arc (misha, jigoro)

*sees discussion of Shizune's route* Okay, Odds are 10:1 that this is going to be a "worst route" discussion. ... Yup. And oh, look, Oddball's involved, after I explicitly revoked his "talking about Shizune" privileges. (I kid) So, anyway, how to start? The beginning is as good a place as any. I dou...

Re: Summer By The Sea [A sorta-sequel to Weekend at Hisao's]

Well, there are many things that I could criticise about your character interpretations, but I'll leave that by the wayside for now, especially considering your interpretations are far more mainstream than mine. Writing from the perspective of the girls is all well and good, and it's expected that t...

Re: A Ritsu Route (Updated 8/16)

Well, I've been busy, so this is in response to the last two topics. I may or may not have noticed smaller details, but there's a pretty big elephant in the room for these two chapters - the technical detail. I had assumed that Muphrid would be the longstanding champion for technical detail from Dir...

Re: KS 2- Rise of Kenji - The Fanfiction

It's a decent start. Biggest thing I noticed was questionable misuse of turns of phrase (such as "Flown the coup" - it's "coop"). Just throwing this out here, though - people around here don't take kindly to pastebin or fanfiction.com links. It's not (necessarily) any prejudice against those sites. ...

Re: Parents

Do the majority of people in real life have parent related problems? Suddenly I feel really lucky for having normal parents. Having "normal" (read: good) parents is a very good thing, and something you shouldn't take for granted. I think, statistically, the standard nuclear family is no longer the ...

Re: Parents

Parental issues (WARNING: TVTropes link!) are an extremely common storytelling device. So much so that it's generally considered more notable when the parents are well-adjusted, rational, and, you know, alive.

Re: Misha Route Collection

You're all thinking about this too hard. Step 1: Decide whether this is a list for recommendations or an index for reference Step 2: Decide whether this is an internal list, focusing only on Renai fics, or an external list, highlighting (notable) KS fics regardless of location. Step 3: Someone volun...

Re: The best written route?

Just out of curiosity, which writers wrote which routes? CplCrud/Suriko - Hanako Suriko - Lilly Aura - Rin Anonymous22 - Shizune TheHivemind - Emi I would say that Rin's route is the most evocative, Shizune's is the most complex and nuanced, and Emi's is the tightest (Insert "anal" joke (Heh, "inse...

Re: For Want of a Nail - Misha Route (New Chapter 8/7)

Going down the list... Well Misha does mention getting dizzy going up stairs (she may have been lying there), which is a common symptom of vertigo. So maybe a bad case of vertigo is her disability? :lol: Vertigo is generally a symptom, not a condition of itself. And it can be a symptom of a lot of t...

Re: Ohceedward's Gallery (Updated as of 08/13)

Well, I didn't really express it in my last response, but I am flattered beyond words that you consider my fanfic worth the effort of taking on a project of this scale. It really is quite stunning. As for the drawings themselves, they're quite good, if a little rough at certain points. Some specific...

Re: For Want of a Nail - Misha Route (New Chapter 8/7)

Otherwise, I'm not sure what to think about this chapter. You kind of gave Misha a disability, only no one knows what that is. I guess I'll have to wait until later to see where this is going...? I kind of feel like this story is not about the Misha we all know and love. She has a disability, she h...

angleman syndrome?

Re: A pseudo-pseudo Suzu route (completed)

This FanFic really opened my eyes in regards to Narcolepsy and just how badly this affects the live or those who got this "neurological disorder" (thanks wiki). It felt like in comparison to most other KS characters whose disabilities severely limit their life in some ways, Suzu simply cannot reall...

Re: For Want of a Nail - Misha Route (New Chapter 6/15)

Good morning, alarm clock. It’s nice to see you, too. I must have dozed off at some point. That’s the way it goes with insomnia sometimes - you can't sleep up until you can't not sleep. Then, next thing you know, you wake up. And if you're lucky you wake up with a girl in your lap. Sadly, the "girl ...

Re: -

Uh. Where's the story? It seems to be gone. The author has decided to delete all of his KS Fanfics. Did he ever say why? Not publicly, no. To put it simply, he's decided that writing isn't something he can or should do. Additionally, he's ashamed of some, if not all, of his writings, and has thus m...
