  • As a reader of Lighting Up The Dark: Thank you.

    That was lovely. Enough 'rescue Hinata' or 'sudden Hinata power up because feminism.' That respected Hinata's strength without descending into mere subversion, and the evacuation callback and fight were both delightful.
    In case you're unaware, "gai" often means "district" or "quarter", but can also mean "town" in some place names. It's not a Gai thing or a Kishimoto thing.
    Are there many combinations of two different hiragana that lack a meaning in Japanese?

    It seemed derail-ly to post this on the MfD thread, so here it is. Best regards!

    Most hiragana (probably every hiragana) can be matched to some kanji or other, often a lot of kanji, but there's no guarantee that those pairs of kanji will mean something when put together.

    A PM is probably a better means of doing this kind of thing than a profile post, BTW.

    Hey! It's been a while. How've you been?

    Oops, just saw this. I must have missed the notification, though at any rate we've been in communication since.
    Not sure if this is a good place to post this, but I recently checked out Lighting Up the Dark and liked it. Is the story dead or is this a 7 month break/writing block spree/whatever?

    Writer's block is probably closest to the truth. I have not given up on it yet, however.

    Not sure if this is the right place to do this, but I just binged through Lighting Up the Dark yesterday, and it was absolutely amazing. If I may ask, how is the editing/re-writing process going? In any case, thanks for a fantastic story.

    Glad you like it! The rewriting process is done now, and we're at the "hooray, I'm ready to start writing new material, oh hello there, writer's block, my old friend" stage of the story.

    So, when I read all the chapters yesterday here on SV, those were the rewritten ones? And congratulations on completing such an intensive task, I always think rewriting a story until its current point is much harder than writing first place. Good luck with the writer's block!

    That's right, and thank you on both counts!
    Hi. I just saw ep.1 of Code Geass, and it was quite decent on the whole, but the second-to-last frame of the closer involved a bare nipple. Roughly how much sexual content is there in the series, and do you have other comments?

    In Episode 12, there's a 15-second scene of a girl masturbating, but she is fully clothed and only her face is shown (it has no plot significance, so I can tell you where it is if you want to skip it). Other than that, there are a few episodes with partial non-sexual nudity (e.g. scenes of people pondering things in the shower). Nipples are only shown on two or three occasions.

    That sounds disgustingly exploitative, so I doubt I'll continue. (Unless I misread - was that scene only implication?)
    Also, I love to trade fiction recs if you have time.

    What you see is her face in profile, and the only sound is of rustling cloth. Everything else is implied. Personally, I wouldn't say those 15 seconds are worth skipping an entire series over. I'd be happy to trade fiction recs, though preferably by PM so as to evade the word limit on these comments.
    Hey, when did you change your Signature?
    Velorien
    Velorien
    Last week, maybe? I change it periodically when I see a really good quote in the thread, but this one came to me in a dream (as a description of myself, no less) and seemed too good to waste.
    HoratioVonBecker
    HoratioVonBecker
    Ah. That explains why I couldn't find the source, then.
    (My signature is pretty much exclusively quoting myself, if you were wondering.)
    I would post this in thread but, uh, I'm kind of banned (sent in an appeal already!), but I just wanted to say thanks for retconning that update. I realize that it goes against your principles and was a really hard decision on your part, but it's very much appreciated.
    Velorien
    Velorien
    Good luck with the appeal. I hope you can come back soon.
    Too bad there isn't a "holy shit I got chills" rating, or I would've given you that for your writing. Good job man. Thanks for writing for an epic quest.
