I doubt a significant amount of people will come across it via TV tropes, but what do i know? I only found out about it earlier this year.

I suppose we'll just need more material on that, then. You know. For accuracy.
And we're back.

You'd be surprised actually. I had quite a few people who never posted in the forum before reply in my fanfic's post to tell me they enjoyed the story. At first I wondered where those 1-post users were coming from. It turned out several of them followed the link from the fanfic recommendation section of KS's TVTropes page. So yes, people do find stories through that particular source.

I came here from TV Tropes generally, and decided which fanfics to start reading from that page. I also admit that I check now and then to see if Developments pops up.

I actually came from the tv tropes page as well. I started at fanfiction.net, googled KS fanfiction to find the tv tropes page, and that linked me here.

I've seen TV Tropes mentioned across the boards fairly often. I don't know why it surprises me; I guess I just never imagined the site being a gateway to fanfics, of all things.

It's a good place to start, no doubt. It's far from a comprehensive list of even the good fanfics on this board, let alone the ones that are at least readable. There's also a fair amount of fanfic recommendations on the KS subreddit (which is where I hail from), but with the same qualifiers applied.

Well that site was a gateway to Katawa Shoujo, not just the fanfics :lol:
I mean the Fanfic Recommendations page is actually quite good.
I write take a look, would you kindly?
I also draw, kind of.

I didn't know there was anything on Reddit about this stuff... then again, I've literally never been to Reddit...

Hence your ability to actually get your writing done! So maybe it should stay that way...

That KS subreddit is in a bit of a sad state right now with 7 threads from the same guy and that barely anyone wants to read anyways at the top, but then again reddit may not be the best discussion platform for a VN that's already finished and doesn't really get any content updates. That said, there's obviously still a lot going on in regards to fanfics, and I've done a lot recommending of those.

The most valuable submission came from Atario btw! http://www.reddit.com/r/katawashoujo/co ... rain_when/

I have decided to add some stuff to the TV Tropes page, and will add more for each chapter you put out as incentive. Now we can both feel productive.

(Note: I'll get around to it, I swear.)
And we're back.

Looks like you'll have to remake it at this point, because some chucklefuck deleted it already. Admittedly, it had been sitting there for a week with only one trope, but it's still obnoxious to see.

I do appreciate the gesture, though, and it does motivate me.

I'd have had a chapter done already if my focus wasn't monopolized by some time-consuming and asinine bullshit with my career. November and December are not, as a matter of course, months of the year that really work out well for me. (Case in point; I wanted this fic, which I started almost two years ago, to be longer than a standard NaNoWriMo novel by the end of this November. It's about ten thousand words short.)

I still plan to have a chapter done by New Year's, but since my beta's gonna be preoccupied, I'm going to have to do all the quality control myself, which is going to be kind of arduous and shitty.
