This is well and truly beautiful. Everything here feels like something Mutou would say, with slight awkwardness and genuine caring hiding behind his every action. Having read almost every piece in the main continuity of AtD, I also know that Mutou also happens to be Shizune's uncle in this universe...

I've always enjoyed your rendition of Mutou, you capture the warm but slightly distant, passionate but restrained, facets of his personality beautifully. And here he's being as meddlesome as Nurse! Thank you for the story. You're most welcome! I'm glad you feel that way. I think of Mutou and Nurse ...

I like pieces that appear to be original KS lore, but literary and with a good kick in the feels to boot. I like the way you worked the contact signing into it—I was thinking for a while of the one I wrote which used this, but in a very different way, and yours is possibly better. Good job!

The following post was written in response to Stiles Long's writing contest. Each participant was given a list of KS character pairings and a list of locations. One of each was chosen for this fic. There were a limited set of options available to participants in the contest and it may be that this ...

Always one of my favourite works. Thanks for the further developments—has it been two years already?!

Been lurking for a bit, finally bothered to make an account so that I can say kind words to deserving authors. Welcome to our community, and thanks for the kind words! Haven’t seen any interactions between Rin and Kenji before, but this one is very well written. Kinda nice to see the joke about Ken...

I think that was lovely. I also felt the edges of my consciousness blur a little, considering what kind of arc I wrote for Rika myself—there are resonances. Very elegiac. Nice work.

You're still with writing the mini-VNs in response to prompts, eh? I liked it, but I have ONE issue. I always click on the 'latest' button in the forums, and that, in your case, leads me to 4/4 rather than 1/4 in your usual 4-parters.

I could smell the heatwave.

Three incidents makes a coincidence. Some proofreading needed (e.g. 'detailled' and 'self-defenes') but it is truly like something from a computer game. Needs more work, needs a whole universe of backstory. Fun.

I've written maybe one or two timeslip/alt-dimension KS shortfics. I think it's hard to make them accessible to the casual reader. To be honest, I think of my own writing as more accessible than yours, which is huge and sustained and complex—but people tell me mine is the same, and in fact have been...

Yeah... I decided I'd be here till 2024. Then, of course, something critical happens in the timeline.

I like Shizune/Kenji pairings. The nature of the interactions between Jigoro and Kenji, and Hideaki and Kenji, are largely hint-only here, but it's a good vignette. And the tying it all up with a canon shot, that's good too!

Wow, Brythain. That was wonderfully powerful for some reason. I utterly adore the flash-in-the-pan style, with life rapidly taking place around the edges. There's a beauty to the snippets of this story, like we don't need the in-betweens. Wonderfully done, as always Bry. You continue to inspire my ...

Aha, this is good stuff. It establishes you as a prime author of melancholic material.

It's OK not to get into too much detail. Sometimes, quick, dark brushstrokes are all you need to outline characters and their feelings. Or at least, that is (as you know) the way I think about it.
