I'm not really active anywhere on the internet these days besides Twitter (I don't "tweet" much but Twitter DMs are my main form of communication with internet people these days). If we met at a con or you just want to say hi: https://twitter.com/justkuiper
What do I want from a story?
I want to see characters that feel like real living people and plots that compel me to follow them to their conclusion. I want to see beautiful and evocative settings. I want to experience something new and novel. I want to see talent on display, and I want to see creators having fun.
I'm also partial to stories that tickle my brain and challenge my thinking. I like it when fantastical elements are still constrained by strict rules and limitations. I believe that limitations are more important than powers. I like it when protagonists are allowed to fail. On a fundamental level, I believe that good storytelling is all about making promises and fulfilling them, but sometimes promises can be fulfilled in unexpected ways.
i can't read moonrules lmao also i play magic the gathering once every three months or so i got second at states last last time lmao but horribly scrubbed out of regionals a couple weeks ago
Thanks senpai this justifies me doing 'some other stuff in between' right now. I'll splurge now and 6 years down the line cover a few million in debt with my $100 billion :^)
Damn sounds like a lot of work, but it definitely get results that way. I just really, really hate revising. I know its important, I've even heard that it's not a story until its been revised, but I just feel like its really tedious and boring. I've been holding off revising a short story for about 3 months now...
But anyways, I'm actually pretty interested in playing your visual novel. Especially with all the work you've put into it, so keep me updated. I hope all goes well in making your first(?) VN!
As for Durarara, it may be a while until I tackle it. I'm planning on waiting a while before watching Baccano. So I may put that on hold for a while. Also, there are some definite similarities in style between the two OPs after watching one right after the other, like how they (seemingly) connect a bunch of different plotlines together to make the story. Which makes me think that the viewing experience is similar between the two?
So late on this reply, I'm starting to feel bad...
I can definitely see myself enjoying that. I like to read stories were I can see glimpses of myself in the character. I definitely saw this in Takao from Aku no Hana, all the way from his interactions to his friends to the way he gets excited about his hobbies. It was also very interesting in the way it presented adolescence as almost becoming a mentally insane person, but yet left me with a realistic lesson about your own life. I definitely felt a few similarities with Master Kurosawa.
That sounds really interesting! I would love to have time to write, but school is killing me right now. Random question, do you do revisions on your work before adapting them or is the novella just to get the general idea of what you're doing?
Hmmm, I definitely enjoyed Kill Bill, even though I've only seen Vol. 1, with it's absolute off the wall insanity. But overall I'm not really that much of a fan of Tarantino. (That's a rant for another day.) But yeah this season looks kinda crazy. When I read the description for YuriKama, I was like "Is this for real?" Would it be worth it to watch Durarara to catch up to season two?
Sorry for the late reply.
I always thought WataMote was more of a gag manga so I was never interested, but I'll definitely check it out.
So what are you up to?
Wow, saw your comment on GBK's profile about Daily Lives and Onani master Kurosawa, and found it a very interesting, intelligent remark about puberty and adolescence. I definitely found myself realizing the reality in both of the works constantly.
One thing that came of this, is my strong connection with Kurosawa and his life (not everything). This is because of all the things that went on with him, especially the fact that he would rather escape into his own fantasy rather than face the real world and the possibility of being hurt. This message (and many more) applies to not just males, not even just teens and young adults, but everyone.

The specials are all (extremely) optional but varying degrees of hilarious
