Re: Limits of Fanfiction - What is appropriate?

I'm not gonna join in on the food discussion, but I'd like to say that if it gets more abstract, my brain may reach the stage where Rin's paintings start making sense to me. :P I did want to reply to the following exchange: (emphasis mine) At least in Miki's case, I'd argue that she gets characteriz...

Re: Question about Lilly and Shizune

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. Anyway, Word of God said they're really brothers-in-law and that comments contradicting this in the game were false and might be corrected, so in the end t...

Re: Question about Lilly and Shizune

Ah, thanks. Though that line could also be dismissed as Hisao simply getting part of the guesswork wrong, but still arriving at the right conclusion (Lilly and Shizune being first cousins), meaning the team could get away with not changing it.

Re: Question about Lilly and Shizune

To be honest, I don't remember that statement. What exactly did he say?

Re: Question about Lilly and Shizune

Quoting myself from the Ask-thread: In Japan, it's customary for the wife to marry into the husband's family and thus adopt his family name, but it's not completely uncommon for a man to marry into his wife's family and adopt her last name instead. The two most common reasons for such a thing to hap...

Re: Question about Lilly and Shizune

Yep, they're only brothers-in-law. Hideaki's statement in Shizune's route was a mistake. (not a typo)

Re: Developments (Post-Lilly Bad End) [Ch 27 up 12/4]

Having read a little bit about that subject myself, I could totally imagine the stealing thing, though I still find the rape-thing a little bit of a stretch among 13-16 year olds...especially since Hanako was considered hidious.

Re: Developments (Post-Lilly Bad End) [Ch 27 up 12/4]

Nice chapter. I did notice that Naomi addressed Natsume by her surname. I know that's par the course in Japan regarding the interaction between most people, but I figured Naomi and Natsume were on good enough terms with one another go with a first name basis. (seeing that Lilly/Hanako and Emi/Rin al...

Re: Tips for fanfiction writers (that means YOU)

If I had to give one tip which I personally like to adhere to, but that contains an admittable "Your mileage may vary"-factor, it's this one: TAKE YOUR TIME! For all the benefits the internet has brought us, it has probably come with one major drawback: it's created a bit of mindset built around the...

Heh, I'm not even sure if I'm the one who first mentioned that little theory. It's been around for quite some time.

Re: Poll: What is the saddest good end ?

Wasn't Lilly's route also subverting the stereotype of Japanese people (and by extension, everyone) not being honest with others? Lilly's route had 3 choices, not being honest with her on any of them automatically gave the Bad End. I don't really think so. If anything, Lilly's route plays the notio...

Re: Poll: What is the saddest good end ?

Actually, Lilly's presence in the hospital in the second-to-last scene might have been a result of her temporary suspending her trip due to wanting to be with Hisao while he was recuperating. Personally, I think the event that REALLY caused Lilly to stay in Japan was Hisao essentially repeating the ...

Re: Poll: What is the saddest good end ?

I could be wrong about that, but I'm not sure if Hisao's "heart attacks" have the same lasting effect as ordinary heart attacks. During an ordinary heart attack, the coronary arteries get clogged up, the heart gets deprived of oxygen and it gets damaged as a result. Hisao's heart attacks aren't real...

Re: I'm in love with you, Hanako!

I think a guy named Fluff&Crunch wrote something like that some time ago. (if the threeway you have in mind is Hisao/Lilly/Hanako) Some people started posting M.Bison clips. Others shouted Bullshit. Mileage varied...a lot.

Re: I'm in love with you, Hanako!

Not necessarily. I just think it's hard to do well and convincingly while keeping the two in-character. Yuri-stories between Lilly and Hanako are a dime a dozen, but convincing ones...can't think of a single one. Lilly might have to jump through even more hurdles to win Hanako's deeper trust than Hi...
