>the site also provides some analytical stuff like how long it would take to read, how many sentences, how many paragraphs, most repeated words etc
>one of the things it can determine is 'reading level' for the pasted text

Ouch

Lilly is a great character. her porn gets me hot and bothered.

I want to fug ghost aunt

That's what you get for writing fanfiction

get your trash outta this thread.

Just report and ignore.

I could handle you shitting up the thread. I could tolerate your complete state of oblivion as to how no one here gives even a fraction of a shit about your tumblr trash "vn".
You took it one step too far when you decided you bring Lilly into this. Do not lewd what you do not know. Don't bring me down to your level.

Now get the fuck out of my thread.

ksg mansion when

i'd be hanging out with my man the nurse down in the shadows in the basement so we could look up all those katawa skirts

Bananas are a great source of potassium.

One for Mish and good morning /ksg/

I want to refer to Misha as Michan.

>a rather enjoyable fanfiction is like 3/4th done
>just getting to the good part

Why is life so cruel?

How do you think fans of Work In Progress/Twofold feel?

I miss you ksg

Assuming they're not people who have already been disappointed by a project before...probably like they could work faster than the people who are making whatever you're talking about.

Which one hurt you, user?

For Want of a Nail.

I mean, it's not a perfect one, by far, but goddamn it, it kept my attention.

Oh, damn, I remember reading that one. Not in details, but still. It was pretty decent.

It's kind of funny, because unless the author continues at some point the last entry kind of implies that Hisao dies.

I thought that was an April Fools bad ending, but yeah. On the bright side, the author demonstrates good techniques, like not forgetting about other characters.

What do you mean by that?
You like that they include a wide variety of characters in their story? Is that something that's typically neglected in fan fiction?

I've seen a lot of fanfictions, especially romantic fanfictions, where people utterly forget that other people exist in the world.

There are some stories this works for, but in many cases it's just laziness or lack of awareness of the social framing these characters help to provide.

It's easy to do in KS fanfiction due to the source material doing so in most of the routes.

Are there any other bad habits one should avoid when writing something?

Asking for a friend

There are so many, but here's a few:

Lack of consistency.

Too much detail when not necessary.

Not enough detail when necessary.

Deleting things; always save a draft. You may never actually use it again but looking at the past can help you figure out the future.

Goodnight, hafu waifu

That nobody will ever love them

This general is deader than Emi's dad.

Good morning /ksg/!
Then let's reanimate it!

...

But Emi's dad will always be alive, in our hearts.

You mean in Emi's heart.
As a hole.
That she will try to fill for the rest of her life.
With dick.

But Emi already has a hole she likes to fill with dick.

...

I love hanako

I feel the same way about Lilly.

...

I don't know how I only found out about this game recently and have never played it before. I got emi's good end the first time I played through, which was nice and a bit emotional (especially in the ending scene where Friendship is playing, that was really sweet). I played hanako's pretty much immediately after and also got her good ending. I was kind of trying to get Hanako the first time because I thought she would be my favourite girl and she reminds me a bit or myself. That caused fairly intense feels so I waited probably a month before playing any of the others. I just finished Lilly's path, it was one of the most beautiful things I've ever read/played. The scene in the field was absolutely amazing, hauntingly beautiful. I don't really know how to feel now. I thought I fucked up and got the bad ending for a while when she was leaving. The whole thing reminded me of a girl met a few years ago, and I fell completely in love with her, and she had to move overseas. I made it through the other routes OK, but I got a little teary during the field scene. When I heard the music box in the hospital, and saw the rest of the hospital scene where she cries I was pretty much bawling my eyes out. I cried for quite a while afterwards despite how happy the ending seemed.
I've never understood waifufags until now but I kind of get it now, I really love lilly and would desperately like to find a girl like her. Not going to be buying any lilly waifu pillow anytime soon though.
Sorry about the wall of text, I just can't get this game off my mind. I'll probably read some lilly fanfics or something before doing rin and shizune's path. I don't like rin or shizune much but I want to know why lilly and shizune always fight. I hope shizune's path explains it more.

Welcome to /ksg/, user.

Tell me more about the one that got away.

I don't really like reminiscing about it but I did mention it so whatever. I've always had horrible luck with women, mostly because I'm just a fairly boring person and am not that social, as well as a little socially awkward. Maybe in retrospect we weren't as in love as I thought- how often do you truly fall in love with your second gf? I'm just bad at moving on.
Anyway, we met at the library at my university and she was a lot like me, and lilly- reserved, quiet and calm. She was also introverted, and pretty beautiful. We started going out and it got more serious. We were really happy together. It took me probably six months together to realise how much she meant to me, and I thought about getting married. I told her that I loved her and wanted to spend the rest of our lives together and she said the same thing. Then about two months later she got kind of depressed and I comforted her a bit, but I probably could have done better. I eventually found out why- her dad died and her mum had cancer, and her brother wanted her to move back to their country. I felt like even though she cared about our relationship she really wanted to go, and I tried to convince her (maybe not hard enough), but she ended up pretty set on leaving. I could have pushed her harder to stay with me, and maybe convinced her but it was her choice. I would rather she be happy without me than unhappy with me. We tried to make a long distance thing work but we both silently knew after she left it was pretty much over, and we talked less and less. She told me over the phone she still loved me and didn't want this but it's the way things had to be. After her mum died she visited me once and said she cared about me, and I tried to ask her to come back and stay with me, and she seriously considered it but by then we had become too far apart. The last thing she ever said to me was basically "I'm so sorry user. We really had something special but it just can't work out. I'll never forget you."

I never met or talked to her again, and I still cry sometimes thinking about it, but I have closure now and don't really want to talk to her again. I think she's doing OK and is happier back home now which makes me feel better. I mostly moved on but I still sometimes think about her and get depressed. What if I messed up and we could have had a future together? I'd never forgive myself if I knew I could have saved it. looks like I've spat out another massive chunk of text, sorry about that but it kind of feels good to get off my chest. It was a few years ago now. I think part of the reason Lilly's route really spoke to me was because it reminded me of her.
I still haven't found anyone as lovely as her years later but I don't feel that horrible about it any more.

>because I'm just a fairly boring person
If that were true I would've left this place a long time ago.

I'm glad that you have moved on, though.

Where did she move to?

Nice image. It makes me feel kind of conflicted, both bad and good.
I have mostly moved on now and I don't think about her much now. I have been a bit after finishing Lilly's story though. I wonder if I could have fixed our relationship. Anyway, she moved to Poland and her family was from there. Pretty far away and I could never learn the language.

I'm bored of their jobs
And I'm sick of pitched secondhand experience
I think there are better places to sink to
And I'm searching for greater acknowledgement and display
Especially for grief
Pain is sucked hard through grief
And I'll pay to see it spotlit

>Poland

...

what are some good lilly fanfics? Preferably post good ending. I still haven't played her neutral/bad ends (I think I know how they end and it would probably make me too sad).

Well if you've seen her good end, you need not see more.

Gday lads, how is it going?
My GF has been acting distant the last week, barely responding to my texts and dodges when I want to meet her. I feel bad. Is this the end?

I fucking hate you all.

Going OK for me.
You should try to figure out what's wrong. Just ask her. You might need to push a bit (don't do it too much if it's a really personal thing). If it is something you could help with that she didn't want to tell you about, she would probably appreciate it if you helped out.
maybe she just wants to break up or cheated on you or something, who knows

Sorry to say that but it probably is. Ask her straight in her face what's going on.

>Ask her straight in her face
Yeah, she always says she's got no time due to school/sports/homework, but even when I propose going for a quick walk she does not want to.
I just want to see her face and ask what's going on, not by text

user, is totally right. Find some time and ask her about it face to face and admit you're worried for her. If you care about her and are worried about her, you should ask. What's the worst that could happen?

Will do when I see her next time. Wish me Luck

Good luck man. I've fucked up one too many relationships by not trying hard enough to look out for her and keep the relationship intact.

>she's got no time due to school/sports/homework
Don't accept this. I've been through a similar situation, do NOT accept this.

>Don't accept this. I've been through a similar situation, do NOT accept this.

What should I do in your opinion? I can't just command her to come to me.

cut your losses and run. sounds to me like someone else is on her mind.

I did the same thing with my gf. Both too busy to have real discussion about our problems so she had to deal with it alone and we grew apart. Eventually she left and I couldn't/didn't do enough about it even though I really loved her.
Do you live together or something? Next time you have a few minutes and you're together, just say you're worried and explain why. Speak your mind.

Nah, both still living with parents. We know eachother through a friend, so if we don't arrange meeting we won't see eachother.

Arranged that meeting user, I believe in you. I'm sure you can save the relationship if you think it's worth saving.

Just asked her, we'll be meeting on thursday.
She's very dear to me and I wouldn't know what I'd do if it fell to pieces.

You'd move on. It's sad but it happens sometimes. That would just mean she isn't the person you are supposed to spend the rest of your life with.

hope it goes well user, keep me posted on how it turns out
If a girl is important to you, don't let her drift away from you due to your own mistakes.

Honestly, tell her of she doesn't have the time to talk with you about what's going on, there's nothing more to talk about. She can't keep you waiting forever and neither can you allow her to keep you waiting.

I actually accused my gf of 5 years that something's going on and she's acting dodgy. She went panicmode and said she 'needs time to thinl about it cause she's no longer sure what she feels towards me'. She kept me waiting for almost 2 weeks and eventually broke up with me making up some bullshit excuses. And guess what, I WAS RIGHT. Couple months after she left me she moves about 200 kms to a different town, to a guy she met on WoW. To a town she 'visited with her friend cause the friend was visiting her aunt' during her thinking period.
Single for 2 years now
Don't wait, save yourself the pain.

>That feel when you will never taste the french vanilla flavor of Lilly's lips
>That feel when you will never give a sleeping Emi a piggyback ride home
>That feel when you will never feel Rin's lips caress your hands as you feed her oranges
>That feel when you will never gaze at the stars with Shizune
>That feel when you will never wake up next to Hanako and take her into a loving embrace
>That feel when you will never feel a sleeping Misha press her soft body against you as you kiss her candy scented hair

I feel like that advice is a bit harsh on her and would be throwing away the relationship too quickly. We're both speaking from experience, I guess, and in your case it was the girl's fault. In mine it was my fault and I still feel bad about it.

You may ne right, but I still stand strong about straight up asking her.

Everyday fucking day. Pic related

Come to think of it, I can't think of any fics based off her good end that aren't just lewd one offs.

Anyone?
