I think the pacing is fine. Having a key character drop out of the story for a while creates a lot of introspection - especially if that character is close to the protagonist. Misha drifting a bit while Lynda is away makes plenty of sense, as does her tentatively reaching out for companionship after...

Tell me, exactly how do you want me to credit you when I add that to Wikiquote? Holy god.

Paints a picture, right?

The story and characters are coming along nice, hope you find the time to continue. I still would have liked a Hanako introduction or something in between those lines, her thoughts after Yamaku intrigue me as to whether she's gotten over her shyness and what she's done in those 5 years. But I trust...

The problem with saving this one for last after not being here for several days is that it's now after midnight where I am. I've got to get some sleep myself. Damn this is good stuff. What would Hisao's superhero name be? Based on the pattern she's using, Heartbreaker of course. So then it would be...

Scene 4 - How My Tea Has Fallen The ever-expanding pile of garments was beginning to look like a technicolor quilt across the guest room bed. Shiina searched through pockets, checked under seams, and was starting to consider tearing back the linings in search of her missing toothbrush. In her head,...

I pick out points from the stories -including fanfics- and try to interpret them artistically. I've also taken to writing fan-fiction - which I've never actually done prior to a few days ago. I also delved deep into my past and decided to publicly write out a brief history of my life as a form of ca...

Rare is a story that will truly make you consider yourself as a person; Katawa Shoujo does so with unapologetic, beautiful, sometimes quirky and hilarious tales woven through the perspective of para-mature youths in a seemingly idyllic, familiar setting where they deal with their past, present and f...

Misha, Rin and Emi. Misha is so completely confused about herself, and feels like she can't say anything even to her best friends. She plods on through the story putting up a smiling facade that buries her insecurities and profound melancholy beneath a fake, bubbly grin and overpowering laughter. In...

Not to sound like a broken record, but I was also drawn toward Hanako. I identified with her perception of the world, and immediately understood when she finally laid out how she really felt - I'd had the same kinds of thoughts. If given the chance, I think I'd have been in a position to help her wi...

Ico was a trip. I remember having to convince a friend of mine to try it after playing it myself. He was reluctant - he said - because he read a review saying the story was in a made-up language and he didn't want to bother. It took over an hour to convince him the dialogue was completely unnecessar...

Indeed. The song doesn't have to be a prayer to a divine being. Listening to it, the lyrics are as much an affirmation of love as it is a prayer. Humbly asking for whomever will hear to offer her guidance for whatever may come. There's strength in asking for help, and I think Lilly - in the context ...

I always wanted to see a scene where Kenji and Rin are actually arguing. There's a sequence where they meet, but Kenji blindly assumes Rin is just another dude upon seeing her uniform and nothing auspicious happens. It would be something like an unstoppable force meeting an immovable object. Kenji s...

I had this thought as I read through the 'which of the girls would you date' thread (and similar threads). Credit to metalangel for saying I should make its own thread. In any case, as the question states, which of the characters (thinking broadly) do you think would try to date you assuming you did...

I think discussing character motivations is an excellent way to occupy a writer's free time - even well past the extent to which I've seen here. They say, "write what you know;" well, one of the ways to expand what you know is to talk it out and get other people's opinions on the matter. To see how ...

Perhaps it's time someone made a 'which of the girls would date you?' thread. It's a completely different angle. I think my crude sarcasm and flippant mocking would infuriate Lilly. Where she's the epitome of tact, I'm the exact opposite. She's also on her way to becoming a raving alcoholic, and I d...
