Sir, You deserve a medal for going in and out of Rin's mind and surviving. I always saw Rin as just.... Well just random. But wise. Kind of like a really old Grand Dad. She reminded me of the crazy Prophets from every Bioware game, for some reason. And River Tam. I've never played a Bioware game(3 ...

Or you could just wallow in your pain and misery, perhaps finding comfort at the bottom of a bottle daily; waiting for the day when that little turnstile in your brain clicks over and you allow yourself to fulfill the fantasy of recklessly murdering random people in a hail of gunfire. Or you could c...

Absolutely perfect.

I laughed so hard I nearly choked on my Cheez-Its. Bear in mind, I didn't.

(Dark retelling of a common thread theme) Welcome aboard the S.S. Hanako! Please check your belongings with the ship-master, they'll be used for fuel. Try to resist your cannibalistic urges since you're among kindred spirits -friends even- and you shouldn't eat your friends. Mind the gap, don't for...

Fun fact: At least here in Kyoto, Tanabata is today (Jul 7th). Seems to be the same day every year, too. Some areas still see Tanabata falling on July 7, but that is based on the Japanese lunisolar calendar which is about a month behind the Gregorian calendar, so certain regions in Japan the date o...

Okay, this is basically Part 2 of the previous scene. I kinda got finished writing Emi's bit and it was really heavy narrative so I needed a little break - especially since I had to dip into Rin's head next. So I spent some time on my other fan fiction for a bit, and came back to this today. Yay fo...

And yes, you are limiting yourself. By writing script style you are ripping your readers from the story everytime there is a bit of dialogue. That is not what you ideally want to do when you are writing a story. I have to agree a bit here. You said you normally write in prose, so you could have don...

a route that leads out of town Such routes still exist? I live in the middle of a perpetual suburban crawl, and there's basically no place you can go within 5 miles that doesn't have a house, or a road, or a business of some kind in view. I envy you if you can walk out of civilization like that - a...

Sometimes, the hardest person for you to know is yourself.

What do you, as the author, find is the most difficult part of writing present tense, especially in a story like this that has characters reminiscing about past events a lot? Mostly, going back over and editing the whole chapter to correct the tense. When I'm in the moment writing, I try to make su...

Wow, seriously?

<long string of expletives> your mom.

There's a special circle of Hell for plagiarizers; It's the one where nobody ever pays any attention to you.

Rocky Balboa vs Apollo Creed
Hanako Ikezawa vs Miki Miura

Will there be a rematch?

But if you had the potential to literally control everything about a particular existence, or "script"... wouldn't you do the same? "What, fuck with someone's life for your own amusement? Of course" said every author ever. :mrgreen: Yes, this exactly. I'm pretty sure that's the inspiration behind a...

You name a new character in WoW after one of the KS girls.

If I were suddenly in that universe for whatever reason, I think I'd hang out with Rin. A platonic friendship, I'd enjoy conversing with her and I'd feed off those conversations as inspiration. I think she'd get a kick (so to speak) out of me. Other than that, I'd probably end up wrapped up in the S...
