Yet Another One-shot Repository (New Entry 12/6/23)

Figure it makes more sense for me to have one thread for my one-shots that I can resurrect when I have a new one, rather than clutter the forum with a bunch of tiny topics. Now with navigation! Karaoke Night (You Are Here) 25 Years Later... A Very Student Council Christmas Sharks and Minnows Katawa...

Re: Ask!

Here's a question that's always bothered me. If Shizune and Lilly are first cousins because their fathers are brothers, why do they have different family names? Shouldn't they BOTH be named Satou or Hakamichi? At one point for a fanfic i was planning on stating that Shizune's parents are divorced a...

Re: Misha's disabillity?

On the subject of Aspergers, don't. Just don't. It is a real thing, and people do have it, and they display certain symptoms. But it's gotten to the point in popular culture where any character with any sort of quirky personality is diagnosed with Aspergers. I'd say this is because I know someone wi...

Re: Just finished the game... (major spoilers)

Actually, if I remember from the "Ask" thread, Aura specifically called that theory out as bullshit. I am under the impression that A22 wrote the entire Shizune arc, and it's more or less how he wanted it. To my knowledge, the only writer who stopped halfway was Cpl_Crud, and that was for...

Re: Just finished the game... (major spoilers)

And lastly i wish to address the Shizune and Misha thing. I keep forgetting to get confirmation from Aura or silentcook on this but supposedly a member of the writing staff who was handling the Shizune arc left before it was finished and they pretty much did patchwork on that arc rather than droppi...

You funny guy checkmate.jpg 1330652250745.png Clearly you guys won't be stopped from beating this dead horse so I might as well fan the flames I'm all for having an intelligent discussion about the sexual politics at play in the various arcs.

Re: The KS Community's Tips on Getting Rid Of Feels

Feels are not meant to be tossed aside like trash. You gotta take 'em, find out exactly how and where they hit you so hard, and learn from it. Temper it into something positive, constructive, and awesome, and go climb mountains. You could fap, too, I guess, but that's the easy way out. Have to agre...

Re: Just finished the game... (major spoilers)

Just need to point this out with regard to the sexual politics: Pay attention. Hisao is always the passive party. Each and every sex act is initiated by the girl. In some, they set the stage so he thinks he's taking the initiative, but they put all the pieces in place. Hanako closed the blinds, lock...

Re: Sign-Names

I was doing some research for my fan fiction, and I came across an interesting blurb about sign-language. From Wikipedia: In Deaf culture and sign language, a sign name is a special sign that is used to uniquely identify a person, just like a name. There are some special cultural rules around sign ...

Sorry to ask, but could someone explain the spleen joke? Shameless request here.
Traditionally, the spleen is the seat of emotions. In this case, though, I'm just guessing that spleen is one of those inherently funny words.

...Sex is a verb? Only when you are . . . conjugating :) Wrong emoticon. You want 8). And a "YEEEAAAHHH!" Seriously, though, you've never heard of sexing someone/thing? As in the sentence "I'ma sex her so hard!" The argument is that "gender" is an essential aspect, whi...

Re: What is Love?

Love it to will the good of the subject. You love yourself - it is your innermost desire to seek fulfillment, to have a sense of completeness, to be happy. To love another is to have that same sense of desire of the good for another. You want them to be fulfilled, complete, happy. Insofar as you hav...

Re: The United States of Misha Updated 7/10

Regarding the age thing, it's more of a perception thing. In part, there are many places where the age of consent is under 18, but an under 18 and an over 18 is statutory rape. Also, we live in a crazy world where people freak out if there's an implication of sexual depictions of underage girls. Yes...

Re: Re-reading KS after many other VNs

You never forget your first. Even if you later find something much better, the first will stick with you. And you'll always have fond memories, even if retrospect colors your current opinion. That being said, I'm from the "KS wasn't my first" school. I've gone through story VNs; dating sim...

Re: Raita comments on Katawa Shoujo on his homepage

Interestingly, he doesn't say anything about the VN itself. He just praises the dedication of the Dev team... Three possibilities: 1. He didn't read it yet. (no idea how good his English is) 2. He didn't like it, but is too polite to say so. 3. He just doesn't want to comment on that for some reaso...
