Kenji Murakami

A piece of art I commissioned of a scene near the end of "Son of Mine"; I like the style, but it was a bit hard on the artist, so I don't think I'll be requesting another from her.

Sounds like we're getting a nice-sized chapter; cool.

Bleh, it's barely Spring and already I feel like I'm melting. This does not bode well for Summer.

This is some very good work you've done here, Lost. I really look forward to seeing more.

Nicely done, Ryuki.

Welcome back, Alpha.

Awesome!

Chapters 23 and 24: FB-23.htm FB-24.htm

I this chapter might have been the result of writer's block hitting at the same time as a deadline, maybe Takaya-sensei couldn't think up anything good, but he knew he had to put something out, so he did this to give himself more time to think. I know I don't do so well with deadlines, myself. And thanks for the chapter, Ryuki.

As an artist yourself, Ryuki, I'd think you'd have more sympathy for the guy.

Does anyone here know French?

Chapters 5 & 6, and Sarah's second journal entry: ToH-5.htm ToH-5.5.htm ToH-6.htm

Have either of you considered things from Agito's point of view? His parents were driven to despair and suicide, he was raised by one of the most callous, depraved, cruel people in his world - arguably just as bad as Guyot - and, out of the only two people he could trust, one of them died for him, and the other one is killing herself for him. Out of all the lessons he's learned during his life, I'd say that the one that stuck was: the world will hurt you, unless you hurt it first. Really, if you can't empathize with all of your characters, you're not going to be a very good writer, Chernaudi.

Yeah; I hope his family is coping all right, too.

Just a quick reminder of Poland's awesomeness:

That's another familiar attack that Apollyon just used.

All right, I'm finished with the two-page version of this, so anyone who wants one just PM me. Make sure you've confirmed that you have the volume itself first, though.

I unzipped the files again; something must have gone wonky during the extraction, because I found page 55 in the file itself. I don't know what happened, but I've got it all now.

Looking forward to seeing the translation of this one; it definitely looks interesting.

Is anyone else's scans missing page 55?

Ah, lovely. Thank you; it seems I was remembering it wrong.

When he attacked the Pillars of Heaven? I'm thinking it was the southwest tower, but I'm not entirely sure.

It was an old discussion, and yes I was addressing you, Ryuki. It was a project we started back in May 2010; my mom asked for donations of $5 from all of the participants for the quilt that she was going to sew together out of the fabric-swatches and printed patterns. You weren't particularly enthusiastic; Mom had to explain things to you, as I recall. I'm glad you've gotten a new perspective - for future reference, quotes without any opposing commentary are generally taken to mean that whoever's quoting them tacitly approves of the sentiments being expressed - I just wonder if it extends to textile art, as well.

A bit ironic that you would say this, though, considering your own recalcitrance when we were all assembling Takaya-sensei's quilt.
