I always have them in my heart and i am sure the extra blood in my work will be able to reach them.

I have now.

>>2490
No Momiji. No!

Taisa....

I'd feed her with my chocolate.

Flandre Valentine special where.

>>2494
Rumia doesn't get anything more than a little sister end, taisa agreed, don't bother him about GH

>>2497
I am sorry to disappoint you but the voters have the say. Taisa can agree a thousand times, if the people want it otherwise, it will be so.

>I hear that the introduction of heart-shaped danmaku has made this Valentine's in Gensokyo to be a little more special.

Last I heard, danmaku was meant to inflict PAIN and LOSS and SORROW on the receiving end. Surely, love and danmaku don't--

... wait a moment.

>>2498
I was not expecting a serious response to that.

>>2497
I'm totally fine with a little sister end.

>>2501
So am I.

>>2501
>>2502
the best little sister.

>>2497
>Taisa agreed
I did?

>>2504
Yes, you did.

>>Just because we have Flan as a love interest doesn't mean we can't persue Rumia's character arc on a little sister note.
>Bingo.

In thread 20. Gave me an excuse to read that Rumia scene again. It's still the best Rumia scene on the site, though Wintertime Alchemist might manage to top it.

Seriously though, that was a shitty joke based on an old /a/ meme.

>>2505
Poorly-worded and futile attempt to get the warring sides to reconcile. I suck like that.

>>2506
It didn't help you had a certain write in horrifically backfire, increasing the shitstorm factor even more than it was before. Routelock NOW

hooray!
Taisa is still alive.

Not all hope is lost yet. So it seems.

>>2507
Believe me, I was morally torn between sticking to my own vision, as the writer, of how events should progress; or catering to the voters' desires and allowing them to dictate the results.

I chose poorly. I'm sorry for that.

>>2510
I was going to say something to the effect of how no one should have to apologize for their creative decisions when the real problem was people over-reacting to those decisions, especially in situations where someone was going to be unhappy no matter what was chosen, but I would much rather look at pictures of Rumia.

Lovely, lovely Rumia.

>>2510
No, no, you did well. If you hadn't blown that situation up, we never would have gotten to comfort Rumia. Not to mention missing out on delicious character development on all fronts.

I don't think it's possible to convince you that you don't suck, though, so I'd much rather look at Rumia pictures.

You know what, you're right. I'm ought to stop being so depressive and just look at pictures of Rumia.

And maybe write something within the next decade.

Carry on then.

Alright.

>>2510
I can understand wanting to stick to your highly cliched vision, but at the same time you should know what following it will do. Pardon your silly fans for ever wanting to bring peace; oh what a silly notion that is.

>>2511
People were only going to be unhappy either way because of the way Taisa did things. Apparently, a moment without cliched conflict or shitstorms is a horrible thing to him. It's how he always did things yet near the end he's surprised by the shitstorms that errupt.

>>2512
>All fronts

You mean mostly Rumia, as basically yet another thing with Flan got fouled up no thanks to you folks. And whatever time with Flan was damage control and the next moment might be 3-5 updates away. I'd much appreciate if you didn't lie about this. And it's hard not to react when a bunch of Grue lovers are acting smug about the whole horrible aftermath.

Honestly, if that write went differently, things would be going better and Taisa would still be writing.

Taisa doesn't suck, but he hasn't learned that you do not put out a fire by throwing gasoline on it.

>>2514
Oh if something similar happened, so much havoc would have been prevented.

Tis a tragedy for the heroine to never get her time in the spotlight while the villainness gets hers

>>2519
>Taisa doesn't suck, but he hasn't learned that you do not put out a fire by throwing gasoline on it.

>>2510
>I chose poorly. I'm sorry for that.

No, no, you're right, Wiseman; clearly he hasn't learned anything from this. I think you should browbeat him some more with your half-formed logic and petty insults.

Shut the fuck up.

>>2519
I'm sorry, but what? You honestly believe "everybody sits down and talks, and all of our problems just magically go away" isn't cliche?

That's the ending of virtually every episode of every single family sitcom in the 90's. Ever.

Yet, suddenly forcing a mentally-unstable vampire with instagib powers together with the sociopathic killing machine who tried to murder the guy she likes and nearly cost her the one chance she's had at an actual life somehow not turning out all skittles and rainbows is somehow the most cliche thing to have had happen?

You seriously believe this.

What gets me the most is the fact that it clearly could have ended far worse than it did. No one died, and there was no permanent damage done to anyone or anything. The only thing that happened was that you found out that problem you're trying to fix requires more time and effort than what you thought you could get away with putting in.

Yet, because you didn't get the perfect outcome where everything you wanted happened, and all your problems get resolved in a relatively quick and painless manner, it's somehow the second coming of "[x] Call out to Tewi", and Taisa and the "Grue lovers" are squarely to blame, rather than your own inability to properly understand the situation at hand.

>>you do not put out a fire by throwing gasoline on it.

If you didn't want there to be a fire, you should not have been trying to combine that oil-soaked rag with that box of matches in the first place.

Cool. Can't say I wasn't expecting this.

You guys need to chill. Here, I'll even post some Flandre since Rumia seems to make you fly into an inconsolable rage.

I like both.
Let's have both.

>>2526
No, let's fight about it.

>>2526
This man has the right idea. The last time we tried it it ended in failure. But next time will be different. With a plan maybe. And less going with luck.

>>2528
>With a plan maybe.

I'm all ears.

>>2528
And hopefully the author in a receptive mood for it. As it stands, Rumia seems to be accepting her position as little sister with Flan being a big question mark. We need to see how things go with her before planning anything. But we must make sure nothing gets in the way of the process.

And hopefully folks will have the common courtesy not to do any more tide pissing.

>>2532
Well, first Taisa would need to start the story up again.
Then we need to get a feel for it again, see where we currently are and then look what choices we can make to improve the situation.

Maybe stick with one girl for the greater good. It should have been a sandbox where there could be interaction with different touhous. No use for this now,

>>basically yet another thing with Flan got fouled up no thanks to you folks.

>>And hopefully folks will have the common courtesy not to do any more tide pissing.

As much as I enjoyed GH and would love to see it continue, if it means we're still going to have to put up with the "us versus them" mentality on display here, perhaps it's for the best if it does not.

Not if we're still going to treat the choice between two interesting and likable characters as if they were opposing political parties, and regarding any preference or vote for anyone other than your personal pick as a heinous act of sabotage in an attempt to ruin everything for everyone else.

They aren't. They might not want to go in the same direction you do, but they want to have an enjoyable time and see a happy ending as much as you do. They just don't agree with you on how to get there.

Why do you guys keep doing this?

>>2536
Nothing else to do beside waiting for the next update. Talking about things of the past is fine too.

>>2537
We'd have a much better chance of getting a GH update if we didn't shitstormdiscuss it so often.

And for the last time, there's no need to make a choice between Flandre and Rumia. We can have both. Now stop arguing about it.

>>2537
Could read something else. Something less divisive, anyway.

>>2535
It's how he did choices in general; one or the other, no neutral ground. Earlier in the story there was the chronic habit of somehow missing the reading club due to going for something else half the time and as a result things with Flan got a bit strained and Cirno ended up pissed at us because of it. Or how about all the time we missed with Flan due to all the training stuff CERTAIN people insisted on and how they seem to take up 12+ hours?

I doubt the tendency is incidental as there was close votes all times. And in romance heavy stories such as this and HLA2, it does come down to sides as there isn't much plot outside of "which girl to go after". You don't see this coming up in Fragment of Memories or Gensou Coil (sure there's a bit of contention romance wise, but it's very civil) and the reason for that is that they have a greater plot than just the romancin'.

And I think the whole "courtesy not to shitstorm" is why HLA2 found peace before it went on Hiatus.

>>2534
True on many counts, if folks just went with the flow in the first place, well there wouldn't have been as much crap as there was. At least I had that common courtesy when I started reading GH.

>>2539
People talk about it due to the fact at the time, practically the whole fucking site got in on GH due to how dead the site was besides that after the move. And with the cliffhanger things were left on, people can't help but to talk about it, especially in light of the incident.

Taisa has to learn how to deal with what he made. He loved shitstorms and sought out to get them. He succeeded beyond his wildest dreams.

On the topic of having them become friends, we must get Cirno to help as she's the other common link between the two. The tricky part is that is getting on her good side, thus finding a way to attend the reading club on a consistent basis. BUT before we even start thinking about that, we have to get through the shower with patchy, whatever the party is, and hopefully we can finish patching things up with Flan.

>>2540
This so many times as well GH was made to be divisive as hell and it'll be that way until Taisa decides to change it.

>>2541
>in light of the incident.
What incident are you referring to? I just read GH (of course, I tried to skip Anon's shitstorm), but I failed at noticing a,y shitstorm worse than another.

>>2541
>He loved shitstorms and sought out to get them.
No, Taisa hates shitstorms. I doubt there'd be any shistorms if you stopped posting, anyway. Everyone else seems to be capable of taking it easy.

>>2542
He's talking about the let's get Rumia and Flandre to be friends thing. Thread 19.

>>2542
The fallout of trying to get Flan and Rumia to become friends as the damage caused by that basically encouraged folks to fight MORE as it reduce the lead Flan had.

>>2543
And I have a bridge in Brooklyn for sale. It's a pretty well known fact by many that Taisa enjoyed the attention and shitstorms. What isn't known is what point after the friendship incident Taisa decided to change his mind about the whole thing.

GH Shitstorms will stop when the roots are take care of. The roots being the highly divisive nature and people's inability to accept how the story was going before they started reading. Even if I did stop posting, they wouldn't stop as well GH has become bigger than any other story and I doubt anyone who's been reading it since the very beginning would be that willing to lay down and have a bunch of late comers walk all over them.

>>2544
>It's a pretty well known fact by many that Taisa enjoyed the attention and shitstorms.
By "many", I assume you mean the people in IRC that you toady off of because you're incapable of intelligent thought? Or did you come up with this one all on your own, like you did with The Great Rumia Conspiracy?

Shut the fuck up, Wiseman.

>>2544
>>The roots being the highly divisive nature and people's inability to accept how the story was going before they started reading.

That "highly-divisive nature" and "inability to accept the way the story is going" things? You're doing those right now. Right there.

You are blaming people for voting how they want to vote in a story based upon people voting for what they want. Just because they weren't reading from the very beginning, or simply don't want to go the direction you want to go doesn't mean they shouldn't have a voice in what direction to take in going forward.

For better or worse, majorities can, and do, change. If you don't like how it's changing, you're not going to help either the situation or your case by essentially stamping your feet and blaming the other side for ruining everything because they aren't falling in line with what you want.

You say divisiveness is a problem, yet you contribute to that situation by insisting on framing yourself as being on one "side" while the people you disagree with are on the other.
That needs to stop, and you are not helping that process along when you are contributing to the problem.

Stop thinking of them as "you folks" or fans of so-and-so, and treating them as if all they want is to ruin everything for you. Contrary to what you insist on believing, they do not. Not if they actually enjoy the story. They may not agree with you on how to proceed in it, but there is nothing wrong with that.

If you think you should go one way, but they think they should go another, TALK TO THEM ABOUT IT. And I do mean talk, not arguing, not throwing a tantrum and claiming they're just trying to ruin everything, and not making demands that the writer not let them choose what they want from the choices presented to them.
Talk to them calmly and rationally. If you think they are going the wrong way, then try to convince them of that.

But, and this is crucial, you need to recognize that this is a two-way street. Just as you make your case, you must allow them to make theirs. If you are to try to convince them, you must allow them to try to convince you. More than that, you must allow yourself to be convinced. If you want people to change their minds, you must also be open to the possibility of changing your own.

You are never going to make people stop stubbornly refusing to agree with you, while you stubbornly refuse to agree with them. It just does not work that way.
You want the problems to stop, this is how you go about it. Not by trying to shut out anyone who disagrees, nor by trying to browbeat them into falling in line with what you think is best.

>>2544
Nah, dude, it's all you. Just fuck off and everyone will be happy.

>Had high hopes for Taisa to pick up GH again.
>this thread.
What are you guys doing.

Taisa, call them to order. Maybe lead a conversation with them and try to find some common ground to work with. The day i will give up on this story is the day this site closes down.

>>2548
What common ground? We have one insane Flandre fan. I really don't want to find common ground with someone so delusional.

>>2548
Well, ah... Lead a conversation, huh...

Well. Um.

Hi.

What do you guys want to talk about?

>>2557
Rumia sure is cute, isn't she?

She sure is.

>>2557
Who's your favorite non-EoSD Touhou?

>>2557
Not sure if this was asked before but what was your inspiration to write GH?

>>2546
If they were that reasonable, they'd have gone with the flow as opposed to engaging in the most epic display of tide pissing ever seen here. And it was they that fired off the first shot with the battle cry of "PEDO!"

I've spoken with a few reasonable folks from the 'other side' but it's not the reasonable ones making trouble. They also don't go screaming "PEDO" or "FURFAG" to denounce the opposing side.

And the logic of various sides as far as I see them?
Rumia- Not much logic as she started out as a creepy villain figure that they latched on to. I see she got some nice character development with time, but it doesn't change at the start she was meant to be a creepy villain figure and that people liking her surprised even Taisa.

Something similar happened in the Alchemist story. Villainous Rumia appears, fans appear out of the woodwork.

Honestly, their tenacity and desperation impresses yet scares me. I mean someone could have a Rumia that's 2.5 times the complete monster Ex Nine's Yukari is and they'd still go for her. Feel free to prove me wrong here.

Sakuya- If it wasn't for Flan being decided upon at the start (and the sacrifice of a chance at Youmu, Keine, etc), then I might have fallen in with Sakuya or Patchouli instead. Honestly, his Sakuya is really good and not so typical.

Patchouli- See above; though she needs to be less Miss Exposition/Training sessions that take up most of the day and more showing her quirks. These days, there's a Patchy route in "The Eldest Scarlet" with a really nice and not so typical Patchouli. It makes me wonder about why some folks continue to insist on pursuing her in this other than spite.

And for my logic behind supporting Flan? In addition of the natural flow, Jin and Flan seem to get along real well as many things are new to the both of them. There's signs of something more to her than just a cute girl. Also there's the fact in choosing her, many other possibilities were sacrificed. More importantly, Taisa's Flandre felt 'right' to pursue; if going after her was truly pedo-ish as the naysayers claimed, I'd be among the first people to speak up.

I feel the last two points are why folks who vote for her fight back so fiercely; because if they give up or lose, their sacrifices would be in vain and that Flandre will be "little sister only" for all time. I cannot speak for others, but each time Youmu was seen alone or Keine being depressed, it hurt. My only solace was the conviction that going forward with the Flan route would be worth it.

If I were to do as the unreasonable ones would in regards to Border House, I'd go for anything Kurumi related no matter how badly it messes up the story and chances with Kana. But I don't because I know better than to disrupt how a story is going.

>>2557
Let's get to the heart of the topic: Assurances that a proper attempt at having Flandre and Rumia befriend each other won't have any more nasty surprises. Also the matter of a choice structure that aren't basically "This girl", "That Girl", etc. And the matter of a routelock in the future. You never did say anything after everyone shared their reasons in your /gensokyo/ thread and I'm curious which side posed the better argument to you.

I think if these "rivals" were pursued earlier in the story, there might not have been so much of an issue as it'd be considered more normal and less an outright attack that jumping in the middle of the story and doing so.

The flow of GH was basically 99.9% Flan with a few bumps before the move (Which amounts to 33-50% of the story thus far) and afterwards, far more chaotic.

>>2562
>Rumia bullshit
It's been a while since I read GH, but I remember only one person speaking out for Rumia before she started living with Jin. After that, she fought hard for her little sister status and quickly gained supporters. Supporters that, judging from earlier in this thread, want nothing more than a little sister, got it? We aren't threatening your precious Flandre route.
>>2563
Hahaha what? Okay, I suppose we are threatening your Flandre route. You want the story to be focused 100% on her. Fuck that. Go play a VN.

Shit, forgot my image.

>>2557
Oh yeah, hey Taisa why aren't you writing? cause a lot of people would like you to and you seem like you care too much for it to be simple laziness

that's the heart of the issue

>>2562
>herp derp rumia conspiracy
>blogging about why you like/dislike certain touhoes
>ultimatum to author demanding that the story go the way you want it to
Shut the fuck up, Wiseman.

>>2568
Oh god it's animated.

>>2564
>>2569
And you're the ones calling my post delusional. You're the examples of unreasonable people I was talking about. It's only after the fact folks are going "okay Rumia is the little sister role", but before then, different story.

>>2571
You lost the argument in the present. You're resorting to arguing in the past. No. I'm not doing this.

Hey, what about... JUST VOTING?

>>2559
She sure is.

>>2560
I like how you added "non-EoSD" to that.
Hm, that's a tough question. My view on the other characters shifts up and down randomly a whole lot depending on this and that, but recently Reisen has climbed quite high on my list.
It's a shame I barely gave her any personality at all back when I wrote GH... I ought to remedy this somehow.

>>2561
You're going to hate me for answering this, but... Clannad. No joke.
Well, that and SDMLA. To elaborate, I found this site through a friend linking me to the archive of SDMLA on Sentrygun, and I started GH anonymously as a non-serious attempt of getting a feel for what writing is like. I had intended to drop it within the first thread and either start a REAL story with a trip, or to vanish.
It kind of mutated out of control beyond my wildest expectations, and I ended up sticking with it as well as getting a trip as suggested by a friend.

>>2562
I do agree that the choice structure got awfully binary towards the end, there... What can I say? I probably wasn't feeling awfully creative when I made those choices. That is, of course, not a good excuse at all. I'm sorry. I've never tried to claim that the whole divisiveness issue was anything other than my own fault alone.
I still don't quite like the idea of a routelock. It feels like some sort of mental marriage-in-advance... I've never liked foregone conclusions. Unless the entire thematic of the story is a foregone conclusion, e.g. a flashback or something...
Oops, I'm rambling off-topic there. Suffice it to say, when/if I ever continue writing, I'll try to come up with better choices. Well, either that or beg my readers for awesome write-ins.
I liked the ones back when the protagonist was trying to figure out the limits of his mental powers. Those were nifty write-ins.

>>2568
I really want to. I do. Honestly.
...I guess I really don't have a good reason or excuse, though. I just open a blank text document, sit and stare at it for a few hours, then close it as blank as it was when I started.
I can't tell what it is. Maybe cocking up my story so badly scared the 'write' out of me. I hope it'll come back, eventually... Or maybe, part of it is a crippling paranoia that I've outlived my fifteen minutes of fame, my moment is gone, and anything I'd try to write from now on would be bland and uninteresting. Don't get me wrong, I'm not addicted to popularity and fame or anything, it's just that I'd rather not disappoint your expectations.
I've never considered myself much of a stellar or noteworthy writer. I'm a non-native English speaker with a cartoonishly limited vocabulary, and I lack any previous writing experience.
I suppose part of me just thinks people originally liked GH only because it reminded them of GA:SD. Or maybe I'm just paranoid.
Or maybe I forgot to take my meds and it's making me rant and rave about my personal issues. Anyway, enough about that, sorry.

...ahem. Well. Now I've gone and turned an innocent imagedump thread into some sort of attention whoring Q&A thread for myself.
Oops.

Sorry about that.

>>2574
>Sorry about that.
Nah, that was my fault. I'm the one that brought up GH. Sorry?
>Reisen
Yes. Yes, you absolutely should write about space-rabbits.

You should look up writer's block cures or something. You aren't unique, lots of people have stared at blank word documents and some of them probably have good advice.

>>2574
Jesus christ.
You sure lack confidence. Your day must be a mix of paranoia, unease and self blame. Get a grip man, no one blames you, no one will think you suck, no one will tell you to fuck off.

After all that shit there are many many people who eager await your return and WANT to read what you write.
If that is not enough encouragment for you then i don't know what else is.

All the GH problems can be fixed, not easily but still to a certain degree, with you banging your hand on the table and telling everyone whats in order. You are the writer of the story, tell everyone that you don't want such things in your story. Then a routelock is in order. Either by vote or by your decisions. Remember that you can't make everyone happy, the side who loses has tough luck and should try again next time. If someone is not happy with it he or she can leave and if some people decide to riot there is always the ban hammer. If anon can't do it alone you need to get everything into order with a strong grip because in the long run the story will only benefit from it.

You probably want to have a story about going around having a good time interacting with touhous and not my girl > your girl. But people wish to be like that so you need to adapt to the situation too. Act now or it will always be something you will regret and will linger in your mind. Just think what would Demetrious do.

If and when you feel your writing mojo returning, would it possibly help if you started out with something smaller and less daunting than trying to resume your stories?
You do have those one-shot/shorts threads you made still around, you know.

That /at/ short with Satori, for example, was just begging for a follow-up.

Hint: "Third Leg"

>>2575
How about cyborg space marine rabbits?

>>2579
>Your day must be a mix of paranoia, unease and self blame.
This is accurate.

>>2586
If the cyborg body is sexy, sure. Reisen without her sex appeal just isn't Reisen.

Your days sound like my days. Feels bad man.

>>2587
Well, when I say 'cyborg' I mean to some degree between Commander Shepard and JC Denton. Most of it is neatly tucked away on the inside.

Anyway, more Rumia.

Sounds acceptable.

>>2580
>If and when you feel your writing mojo returning, would it possibly help if you started out with something smaller and less daunting than trying to resume your stories?
...Well, I may or may not be working on something like this as we speak. Can't really talk about it, though. Sorry.

Is this okay??

Huh, last thread of GH is missing...

>>2601
Threads tend to do that when you leave them alone for long enough.

>>2601
It's just sleeping Taisa... just sleeping. Waiting for the day to wake up once again.

>>2603
Rumia doesn't sleep.

>>2614
Accurate description of the middle bit of this thread.

It's Rumia day (or, was Rumia day, depending on timezones), by the way. Not that it means much.

Guess I could dump some more... eh, too much effort.

>>2602
I thought threads went to Archive Heaven when they died, though...

>>2637
Most of those weren't threads though, they were a few updates sitting on top of a bunch of crap.

>>2637
112609 is right there in the archive, from what I can see. Last update is 115329, in that thread.

...Unless I missed a thread/update or something somehow, though I don't recall any others.

>>2638
Nonsense. GH was full of stimulating and interesting discussion.

>>2639
>Last Updated: March 6

Well, that's convenient.

...Don't ask me why that's convenient.

>>2641
Why is it convenient?

>>2644
>Why is it convenient?

strangely arousing.

We all seem to forget that, apart from being cute, they all are not human. They are monsters who see humans as prey. That is why it would be a special route to have Rumia accept some guy as an equal and have her love him. This is why i liked GH so much, it felt like an accomplishment instead of just getting things given. The world is a bit less nice, maybe a bit more realistic apart from other stories.

I am not sure what the other routes would have been because, obviously, we never got the chance to discover characters like Shiki, who might be pretty pissed, or Keine. Due to SDM choices it might have been a bit more dark. Flandre was an interesting choice, but she is sadly overshadowed by Remilia.

>>2667
last time I checked, Remilia was rather typical, but I could have been wrong as it was so long ago.

>>2669
typical typical typical typical

stop using this word

>>2667
>Due to SDM choices it might have been a bit more dark.
A bit more dark, in the latter half, sure.

In hindsight, I probably should've avoided having people able to pursue both Rumia and the general SDM group at the same time. EoSD doesn't really work as well as a group here as I thought it would; Rumia is more of an independent type. I now worry that this divisive path that we settled on would not end up doing her justice.

Unless I decide to settle on some sort of arbitrary routelock and she 'wins'. But I'm not sure how the best way would be to routelock the story at its current stage.

>>2673
Eh. Not visiting SDM every goddamn weekend would be a good start to doing Rumia justice. You get points for trying, but that write-in led us right back there.

I always wondered what GH would have been like if we sat next to Reimu at the start. Or took Koakuma summoning powers instead of the Flandre clone stuff.

>>2674
Or if Reisen had won.

Especially since she did.

>>2673
To be honest, I wanted to just stay dead (at least in THP), but I feel that I must rise from my grave and encourage you to write, Taisa.

First, there is absolutely no reason to lack confidence in your writing skills. You were by far the best writer here. I read many CYOAs, but dropped them all after the first thread because they were boring. Your CYOA was the only one that truly got me hooked. I felt like a 5 year old kid waiting for that daily update.

I’ll be honest: Restorer in Gensokyo, the second CYOA that got me hooked, was only a means to pass time while I was waiting for your updates.
Sorry, Kriss, but I didn’t read 33% of your updates.

Even though you are not a native speaker and have “no previous writing experience”, you write excellently. I have recently passed my C1 German and English exams and I still feel inferior to you. I’ll never be able to write like you do. I can’t replicate your vividness, your careful balance between fandom and canon, the quirks you gave characters, the premise and how the whole GH worked.

I don’t care which route we take, I just want you to write again.



Second, if any of my few readers are reading this post… I want to apologize for my inactivity and my… well, AWOL. The main reasons for my departure were health problems, but there were different reasons for my late comeback (if this counts as a comeback at all).

Unlike Taisa, who doesn’t crave fame and praise, I did. Since many posts were just zombie votes without discussion, I felt like “just another average writer” and that was quite the opposite of what I wanted. I wanted to be a troll writer or someone as incredible as Taisa.
So one day, when I was about to finish the (extra large) party update, I was like, fuck this shit, nobody will ever notice it… and deleted it. Then, I emptied the bin. I regret nothing.

The update will never be finished. Please, go ahead and change the status of my CYOA to “abandoned”, I hate to see that dead piece of written shit to be called “stalled”.

Undead Turtle, over and out.

Back then? Something boring and unsatisfying, since I didn't even give her anything resembling a personality. If it happened now though... Well, I've started liking Reisen more, recently, and have a better idea of how I want 'my' Reisen to be, so make of that what you will.

...Ouch, man.
Well.
Don't know what else to say, so... Take care, alright?

I'll...
See what I can do, in the meanwhile...

Yeah, I recall you saying how little you thought of Reisen. I'm sure that the actual outcome wouldn't have been anything like the events with the others; my guess is that we would sit next to her, introduce ourselves, and then she could be the bland friend that we primarily talk to because she was the first person we talked to at all.

However, regardless of what happened, it would have meant that we wouldn't have first been introduced to Remilia and Flandre. So who knows, maybe it would've upset the balance. Or maybe anon would just drift towards the two anyways and/or Rumia. Or maybe you'd start to like the "bland girl" yourself and give her more character.

In before you stare at a blank word document for a while before giving up.

You could try posting this heartfelt confession in your thread instead of a hijacked /blue/ thread. It's even already bumped for you.

>In before you stare at a blank word document for a while before giving up.
Well, I -have- been working on a little something on the side as of late, to try and get back into the groove...

I can't really talk about it, though. At least, not yet.
It's complicated.

>Taisa maybe coming back to write.
incoming awesome.

Don't want to hype it? I can understand that. God knows there's enough hype around you writing again already.

Now we just need a picture of the hand flicking her painfully.

Close enough? I didn't want to post this one as others had already spammed it on other boards.
