I had always wondered where the hole in the fedora came from.

I really ought to go back and finish reading these. Yes, I know... how disappointing that I, your frequent go-to editor, have yet to finish reading one of your seminal publications.

I've been busy, dammit!

I feel like I'm the one who started this argument, but I have to agree with Comrade. They're just words, people, so calm the fuck down!

When NASA --or the modern equivalent -- has to scrub a mission mid-launch, what would you rather they call it? When Obama accidentally hits the red button -- starting the countdown to nuclear holocaust -- and some tech-savvy super-geek manages to shut it down at the 1 second mark, what would you say...

Regardless of the VN's release date, all events in KS take place in 2007, not 2012, which is when 4LS started development.

Loving the story so far, I'm eagerly anticipating the next chapter. Really loving the characters, there is so much more to them than I first thought. :) Thanks, I think that's the point of any story; if I told you everything right from the beginning, the rest would be pretty boring. I really hope y...

Yeah, well, I was doing 14,000 word chapters before it was cool.

I'm not sure how long ago this was written, but I'd be fine with you (Leaty) using Naoko if the chance presents itself.

Helbereth's Aiko is barely missing running into Scissorlip's Suzu.

Actually, in my own head-canon, and in the story itself, they've crossed paths twice.

I believe the term you're looking for is 'shoujo-ai'. I've heard that term actually has pedophilic implications in Japan. I'm not sure if it's true, but in general I don't use the phrase. Wouldn't a more accurate term be 'woman-love' (I would try translating that to Japanese, but I'd probably just ...

Honestly, I'm bothered that people conclude things about characters based on little evidence--or at most the circumstantial kind. It's fine deciding--for the sake of a deviation designed to explore such a situation--that a character's preferences can accommodate different kinds of sexuality--be it h...

I'd just like to see how her story plays out; I don't think romance is a requirement.

I'm going to go ahead and skip trying to tell you what you did wrong - Oddball and Mirage already covered the major points. Instead, I suggest that you do more reading, and really pay attention to how things are written. Get a sense for how sentences are constructed, where punctuation is used, how p...

This may be the shortest thing you've ever published here. It's poignant, though.

As for their still being in college and unmarried when Hanako was pregnant... didn't you figure that out when you wrote out the basic backstory?

The character select only shows the captain and four crewmembers. Kenta and Hisao are in there.

U.S.S. Empirical Data Check back for the first time in a few weeks, this is what I see... I'm in tears laughing again, people at the DMV must think I am insane shuddering and crying in the yellow line. The best part about this, for me at least, is that you can't even explain it to them without soun...
