Re: After the Dream (PostLilly NeutralEnd) Shizune6 up 20140

Another enjoyable vignette. That last line was a tad creepy, but understandably and believably creepy, so well done :) . *grin* I happen to think that Shizune is actually the most stable of the entire bunch of characters. But she does have a little 'creepy' in her that she herself doesn't see… and ...

Re: After the Dream (PostLilly NeutralEnd) Shizune6 up 20140

If they're as good as these ones, we're in for a treat (I even enjoyed the Jigoro bit, and I never enjoy scenes with him in them), but I hope they're not all sad ^_^. Thanks for the compliment! Here I must confess that I wanted Jigoro to become something a bit more than douchebag comic relief, and ...

Neat story, but seriously: What the hell happened to Emi & Rin? I don't think that the resolution was very clear.
It ain't over yet… :)

AtD (PostLilly NeutralEnd) Shizune6

This is the sixth part of Shizune's arc in 'After the Dream', my post-Lilly-neutral-end mosaic. I've made very minor edits to previous sections. Enjoy! Shizune 6: Contest (2030) This has been a year of great change, she reflects. She feels as if she is becoming whole again. It is a quarter-century ...

Re: After the Dream (PostLilly NeutralEnd) Shizune5 up 20140

Bittersweet. I would not expect Shizune to be at all passive when she wanted Hisao that badly, but oh well. We never quite knew how Shizune dealt with her inability to seize him for herself, so I suppose the extrapolation is alright. I enjoyed it! :D Unrelated, but do you do any coding, perchance? ...

Re: After the Dream (PostLilly NeutralEnd) Shizune5 up 20140

I'll note that blond/blonde is one of the few gendered words in the English language that doesn't directly deal with gender. (Fiancé/fiancée is one of the other ones.) Blonde is the correct one to use for a female. Interesting story. Absolutely right. Grr, will have to put it down to thinking about...

Re: After the Dream (PostLilly NeutralEnd) Shizune4 up 20140

Thanks for the pointers. I will spend the next couple of days consolidating these four parts and making minor edits. I will then bring my next two pieces in line with the edits and put them up. :)

Re: After the Dream (PostLilly NeutralEnd) Shizune3 up 20140

Your writing is very good, I feel. The story is interesting so far, too. I kind of agree with Helbereth, though. It's so good that I find it hard to grasp the context. You've mentioned this is due to Shizune's PoV and the fragmented/mosaic style of the story, so I'll keep reading. Thanks very much ...

Re: Limits of Fanfiction - What is appropriate?

For me the challenge is to make something sound believable to most of the people who have entered the milieu with me, and yet make it original. That's not a limit to fan fiction in general, but a limitation I would impose on myself. In this case, supposing I were to craft a 'future'-based fanfic, I'...

Re: Yamaku Book Club

I had some earlier issues with characterisation, but they went away when I learnt that the work was based on the original Act1-only release. Clearly the extrapolated and interpolated relationships now make a lot more sense in that context. Takeshi's relationships still seem a bit forced, though. I l...
