The DEFT writer has a story in /forest/ you should check out. Also, Discovery, Investigation and Manifestations is his /Eientei/ story that I particularly enjoy. You should read Do the Right Thing in /th/. I also really like Fleet Foxes. The Idea of Alice in /sdm/ is great. Owen is writing something new in /others/, and I'm sure you already know about Lion's stories.

I'll recommend Hunter's Dream in /forest/. I would also recommend Warlord in /th/ by Mode.

I'd recommend some other stories, but they're not written by writers deemed worthy of a recommendation.

Seconding Do the Right Thing, it's a...unique experience, to say the least. But the hilarity never really seems to die down. Truth be told reading through the first thread, I'd have thought the unique narration and main character perspective would have gotten old, but it endeared me to no end. I can happily say were the MC of that story a real person, I would happily get hit in the face by a rock from him.

Warlord in /th/ has just started out recently. so there's not really much to say as of yet. However it's shaping up rather well, not much more you can ask from a story that started so recently.

>>6481

Do the right thing is fun but sometimes its style gets a little convoluted

as for my recommendation, I think Border House is the most enjoyable by far, and captures the japanese manga style quite well. Resentment is fun also, although its nothing too thus far.

>>6478
nothing too great thus far

whoops

>>6484
copy the post, select the box next to it and then scroll down to the bottom of the page and hit 'delete'.
Then paste your post back into the message box for this thread, fix your error and repost it.

I enjoy The Idea of Alice in /sdm/. I mean, sure, the author is a temperamental artiste who writes in fits and tried to delete all of it once, but he has long updates and the story is peerlessly written.

If we vote we might motivate him to write the the last chapter before 2020.

I recommend A Wizard is You in /th/. A D&D wizard ends up in Gensokyo, stuff happens. Demetrious writes really, really enjoyable characters, so far without fail, and seems to actually have an idea where the story's going. Read it.

Don't worry, you don't have to know D&D to understand the story.

Back after reading up a storm:
>DEFT writer has a story in /forest/

Excellent, I require more Alice. And Mima.
Still a seven minutes writer.

>Discovery, Investigation and Manifestations

Still catching up on Teruyo rage quota, hope this mellows it out.

>Do the Right Thing

The writing style turned me off so fast. Couldn't get into it.

>The Idea of Alice
Havent read enough to make a opinion on it.

>Hunter's Dream and Warlord
Not my cup of tea. And I'm a real manly man.

>A Wizard is You

Excellent story outside the EXCESSIVE amounts of swearing in it.
"Feels like I'm reading the Killzone 2 scrpit and watching the english dub of Black Lagoon at the same time"-retarded amounts of swearing.

I might even say he is trying too hard on the anti white knight upkeep and BULLSHIT BORN IN POWERS autistic rage issue WizardMC has.

>>6487

border house is good in /others/

Updates are kinda sporadic, but Let's gooooo in /others/ is quite fun. (I won't blame you if you just skim the circus arc, though.)

>>6506
He tends to make up for it by usually posting walls though.

I feel like a tool recommending my own story, but I've not really heard any negative reviews for Curses Foiled (Again!) outside of its outstandingly sporadic update schedule. Hearing what you have to say about it (positive or negative) would be a privilege.

>>6508
Oh, it's in /youkai/ by the way.

>>6508
when its good, other people will post it, won't they?

>>6508
Well... generally no bad news is good news.

But I had to say why it's good, it'd be good writing, characterization, and it gives us a look at a Gensokyo that's very familiar yet so very different.

Thanks for the help, bros.
Read a few good stories. Tempted to write my own, but traffic is not what it was it used to be.

>>6526
Not writing isn't going to get more traffic, you know.

>>6526

if you write it... they will come..

>>6527
>>6528
I have a few ideas floating around in my head; stuck on how to execute it though.
Last thing I wrote seriously was the TRUE END for YWUIG

>>6547
I find that if all that's keeping you stuck is execution, the best thing to do is to just write it. Nothing says you have to post it if you finish, and if you come up with a better way to do things by the time you're halfway through then you'll already be warmed up.

Question: Are there any Reimu oriented stories?

>>6559
Go to /shrine/. Even if not Reimu-oriented, stories there tend to have Reimu hovering more or less around the center.

>>6547

I was writing a short story, but then I did this.
Still not sure on how to start a CYOA. Feels bad,man.

I think I remember reading a short story involving Koishi in the SDM where she messes with Flandre and she ends up committing suicide. Anyone else remember this?

Well besides that, what are some good short stories?

>>6565
I remember that. It was a fantastic read. This time with a proper link!

http://www.touhou-project.com/sdm/res/19220.html

>>6564

have a unique premise and then go for it

>>6564

although impressive for a fanedit, I notice your cirno is lacking two wings

>>6574

Thanks, I couldn't get the perspective right and it just looked clearly off whenever I tried.

>>6573

I suppose I could just cheap out and start short walls then WALL OFF.

I'm looking for a Keine-related story. If possible, coming from an unnamed author.

>>6806
Keine doesn't get much love around here. I can only think of a couple off the top of my head, and even then the details are fuzzy since it's been a while.

Restoration of Temporal Sensations. Seemingly Rinnosuke centric, with Keine as a love interest.

Contemplations Under the Moon and Stars. Has Keine in a bit role as a friend.

Neither are finished, nor will be.

>>6807
>Neither are finished, nor will be.
Now THAT's annoying.
Anyway, thank for your help.

Keine route's been a myth sense YWUiG. Very sad; people want one, and she often shows up in stories, but is never a main character.
If you ask me, that's a big reason why A Wizard is You is doing so well.

>>6807
in Harker's last update, he was seriously considering the possibility of a Reisen and Keine route... if only the faggotry on this site wasn't so bad...

>>6809
She's chronically overshadowed by other characters, mainly the Eientei big 3 (Kaguya, Mokou, Eirin)

>>6810
Are you the same guy whose been whining and bitching everywhere about Harker leaving the site due to "faggotry?" Would you shut the hell up about that?

>>6811

Faggots don't know how to shut up, don't you know?

Any Tewi-centric stories?

Currently reading DoLF from teruyo.
Gonna need something else to read soon.

Anyone got a story updated often? I don't really care about the writer or the board, I just want a story updated often.

>>6813
Luck and lies. Incredibly new story that's probably dead.

Involuntary Pedagogic Fantasy. Had a small bit role. Never finished, nor will be.

MIG. I honestly can't remember her role in it, but it's infamous for [x] Call out for Tewi (among other things,) so she was surely in it to some great extent.

Luna Ars Memorativa. More Eientei as a whole, but that obviously includes her. Seems to be dead.

None of these are finished, nor will they be. Also, besides Luck and Lies, none of them is actually Tewi-centric. If you truly wish to read a story that focus' heavily on her, I think you just might be out of luck. I, for one, cannot recall any off the top of my head. Perhaps some other anon can swoop in and provide some better help.

>>6814
Priceless, by Princess Owen. Just started, so you can jump in from start to finish. Also, if you haven't read them already, go read Lions stories. That guy is a fucking writing machine, providing updates at a nice, relaxed, steady pace.

>>6816
you forgot TALE, which is on the verge of a Tewi route, but the writer updates very sporadically.

>>6817
Haven't read it for precisely that reason. Though if it truly is a Tewi route, my interest is peaked and I will probably give it a read.

>>6810
Sage for Harker.

>>6819
No. We don't do that shit. Though I agree that Harker is a tremendous fag, we don't shitpost all over the board every situation his name pops up in.

>>6820
Someday I'll ask what really happened with Harker. I heard he left because the website was full of faggots, and now you're saying that he was a faggot.

>>6824
Ask on IRC.

>>6830
Not sure if that's a great idea, someone might tell you the real story but someone else might say he was just being lazy.

Though Harker is the last writer I would think of as a Faggot.

>>6832
Well, Harkers absence from the site has only been cited as "due to faggotry." To me, this reeks of the same reasoning behind HY's leaving. HY being a tremendous douchebag faggot, it's easy to draw comparisons.

>>6817
>>6818

> 5 days ago
> interest in a story I started in 2008 and stopped really updating around mid 2009
> Not actually being verbally lynched to death for horrendous unreliability

Mind = blown

>>6855
> Not actually being verbally lynched to death for horrendous unreliability

I usually reserve hostility for shitposting, such as greentext. Don't do it again.

>>6856
You're taking me wrong. I'm honestly, genuinely surprised and stunned anyone still cares after all that time and unreliability. I often consider writing again for various stories but am always stopped by the fact that I feel bad for those.

>>6856
Greentext is not shitposting. You can argue that it's lazy writing, or incorrect, or just plain not fun to read, but it isn't shitposting.

>>6863
Get the fuck out.

>>6864
Learn what words mean before using them.

>>6866
I am certain of the validity of my words. I'll explain further. If you are the sort who believes >greentext is nothing but shitposting trash, then you are not welcome here, and need to leave post-haste.

>>6867
Shitpost does not mean what you think it means. Your incorrect use of a slang term bothers me, not your judgment.

my judgment is pretty fucking shitty for starting this derail, however. I'll shut up now.

>>6868
It's amusing to me that my "incorrect use" of a made-up term is a source of contention, however slight. I'll also shut up now.

>>6869
All terms are made-up terms.

My turn to ask for recommendations.
I'm currently reading Memoria in Discord, and I want to know if there are other story with Mokou (possibly without her being a jealous bitch throwing tantrums about little stuff, like cheating).

>>6945
Magical Girl Firey Moko-Tan
Mokou is the MC. ;_;

Liver
If I remember correctly, it's a small continuation of a scene from WUIG, so you would have to read that to fully understand the context. Then again, if you haven't read WUIG, what the hell are you doing on the site?

Retrospective and Astronomical Narraration.
Mokou only appears near the end, but you should read it anyways since it's fantastic.

Involuntary Pedagogic Fantasy
She's in it, but the story died before we could spend more time with her.

http://www.touhou-project.com/gensokyo/res/172.html#3847
This is definitely the best example of Mokou we currently have on the site.

I'm sure I am missing tons of better examples, but whatever. I didn't want to make this a giant list full of stories where she barely appears.

>>6946
>http://www.touhou-project.com/gensokyo/res/172.html#3847
I read this one. Was the writefag high or what?

>Involuntary Pedagogic Fantasy
I don't really want to start reading dead stories, but thank you anyway.

>Retrospective and Astronomical Narraration.
Sounds interesting.

>Liver
I haven't read WUIG. Don't hit me, I'm going to do it (one day).

>Magical Girl Firey Moko-Tan
Weeell, I don't know about this one. Magical Girl aren't my thing.

>>6990
>I don't really want to start reading dead stories

Congratulations. You have just successfully eliminated 80% of the good stories on this site.

>Weeell, I don't know about this one. Magical Girl aren't my thing.

Y'know, you remind me of someone. I'll recommend you his story. Even though it is dead, I reckon you will absolutely enjoy it, as you seem to be of a similar mindset to its creator.

http://www.touhou-project.com/th/res/86520.html
Linked for your perusal.

>>6992
>Congratulations. You have just successfully eliminated 80% of the good stories on this site.
Is it a good story even if it's dead? I'm not quite sure.

>J To E's crap.
Don't insult me. I won't read his story, and I don't give a fuck about why you think I have the same mindset than THAT. I'll just tell you that you're wrong. That's all.

>>6994
>why you think I have the same mindset than THAT
See
>Is it a good story even if it's dead?
>Weeell, I don't know about this one. Magical Girl aren't my thing.
And compare and contrast this with
><JtotheE> I had to deal with a femme protagonist that I didn't happen to like
><JtotheE> A Fairy's Tale... I think the title just auto turned me off.

I don't know. You tell me why I would draw a parallel.

>>6995
Okay, so first, Magical girl =/= fairies and touhous (in my view at least).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magical_girl for your informations. Magical girls have high-pitched voices, are naive, and have to transform in every fucking episode, using 5 minutes each time. So much rage.

Also, I stopped reading abandonned stories after GH. You can figure why.

>>7000
A little old school aren't you?

>>7003
My apologies about that, but yeah, I guess you can say that.

>>7000
Why?

>>7035
Because MC's an average guy, fapping in the school's toilets, exploding papers like Flandre, fucking his teacher for her own good, making Remilia looks like a fool, and own Rumia.

And it's on "hiatus", like they say. All of my rage when the story stopped at the best part. Especially after Sakuya's threat.

>>7036
I can't even remember what that 'threat' was anymore...

>>7040
It was something who made me really interested in the story.

>>7044
Refresh my memory, please?

>>7050
No. Re-read the whole story, and then, I'll be here to complain with you.

>>7183
Please don't. Let's not turn this thread into yet another bitching thread about GH. Lord knows we have enough of those to last a life-time.

>>7190
But, we haven't had one in such a long time!

>>7190
I'll never bitch enough about GH. Stopping the story while it's reaching its climax. That's making me crazy.

>>7197
...showering with Patchy is the story's climax?

>>7213
What an amazing story.

>>7213
It stopped before there was a shower with Patchouli.

>>7213
He was about to tell Remilia the truth. That was going to be a pivotal part in the story.

>>7232
Yeah, but climax? More like the end of the first act.

No ones recommended Fragmentation of Memories yet? Really?

Then again I kinda just skimmed so oh fucking well. OP, Go read that story as its greater then any book I've read before.

Though fuck Anon for choosing Shizuna route over Mommyzi.

>>7244
>it's greater than any book I've read before
My condolences.

>>7244
>Fragmentation of Memories
>route
>greater then any book I've read before.

I don't usually use reaction images, but this is an emergency.

Why do I suddenly feel like this just became a book recommendation thread?

>>7247
It didn't.Book recommendations could easily be it's own thread. No need to derail this with that shit.

>>7247
Go ahead and name some. Here, this should help:

I have never read a book that made me laugh more than Do the Right Thing.

>>7244
A) Read more books then
B) it's Shizu-HA. And last time I checked, Sanae stole the route spot from Shizuha.

Hi, >>7244 here, And apparently you all misunderstood what I was saying. What I was doing was comparing a story on here, To any other popular story I've read thus far in my life. I was in no way calling anything on here a book, I was saying that said CYOA is on par with any real author, Maybe even better.

>>7267
No one misunderstood anything. I would like to believe everyone here has enough reading comprehension to decipher your post. It really was as stupid as it appeared to be at first glance. Your follow up only reinforces that image.

>>7269
I don't know if it was quite as good as a "real author", but considering the quality of novels that get printed sometimes, sadly it might be truer than you might think. I've read some awful books/series in my time. Ever read S.M. Stirling's Draka series or Stuart Slade's The Big One? Then there are ones like Tom Kratman's A Desert Called Peace.

>>7286
Yes, some awful books get published sometimes. No, this is not the place for that discussion. Please go make a book thread if you truly wish to discuss them.

>>7286
My, my. Dare I mention it? "Twilight".
Truly, that Stephenie Meyer hit it big while other far more talented writers languish in obscurity is a damn shame.

Back to the topic.
Because of LandScout, I wanna have a Koa route.

Is there any story with a Koakuma route?

>>7290
Only story with a real Koa route was K_S's /sdm/ story.

>>7291
Sorry, who?
I looked over the archive, and I didn't found anything like that.

>>7292
http://www.touhou-project.com/sdm/res/20214.html

this. The writer may be anonymous at times, but s/he sometimes goes by K_S

>>7293
Thank you. You are a scholar, sir.

>>7293
Yeah, so about this story, according to what I read, writefag wrote other stories, on several boards. Did he used a name when he started those?
Because the /sdm/ story doesn't countain any explanation.

>>7300
http://www.touhou-project.com/sdm/res/20214.html

http://www.touhou-project.com/forest/res/8528.html

http://www.touhou-project.com/border/res/11649.html

I'm fairly certain I caught them all. The one with Grimnir or whatever his name was is not finished. I remember it left off with a delightful scene with Reisen, or something. What a bastard, stopping at that moment, right when the plot was going into hyperdrive. I digress though.

That should be the rest of them. Sorted by chronological order.

>>7302
Oh my, thank you a lot! If I could, I would give you a beer!

is underground LA dead?

>>7335
Aye

>>7335
It's starting to look like it. I used to think that Glasnost would actually tell us when he dropped a story or such, not pull a HY (Drop story, tell no one)

>>7338
I have the utmost faith in Glasnost. I'm sure he will return to provide us an update come 2015. Subsequent ventures might need longer to prepare, however.

Is there a story where several OCs from several writefags are fighting to death?
It might be interesting.

>>7396
Uhh. No.

The only attempts that even comes close was ANON by some faggot, and All Together At Once but they were swiftly ran into the ground, as they both fucking sucked. In fact, that entire concept sucks. I can't believe you would find it even remotely interesting.

Also, try WUIG Anon vs MiG Anon by that faggot YAF.

>>7344
But you know at least he's doing something productive on his non-writing time (TRANSLATIONS!). That cannot be said of most lazy niggers.

>>7398
>WUIG Anon vs MiG Anon
I don't recall anything like that, but could you perhaps mean BKC (Beautiful Killing Chamber, IIRC)? It was about having one protagonist meet others, no? I think so. I honestly can't tell at this point, my memory is sort of fuzzy here.
Also,
>by that faggot YAF
Some sort of problem, by chance?

>>7400
Nah, I meant what I said. I've actually never read BKC, as I recognized your mediocrity before I could manage to entangle myself into that one.

>some sort of problem

I would have thought it obvious. I think you are a faggot. The reasoning behind it has oft been repeated throughout the entirety of this site, so there is no need to revisit it.

>>7401
I like the mind pattern.
"YAF is a faggot!"
"He's a faggot because I don't like him!"
Very good logic here.

Hey, Anon, do you mind if I call you a motherfucking cocksucker because I don't like you?

>>7402
Well you could but you'd be insulting yourself. But you know, If that's your kinda kink I've got nothing against it.

>>7401
It's your loss, really. From what I gather, it was rather entertaining.

>>7405
Quite right. I'll just have to learn to get by without having read your magnum opus. It might be a little tough, but I suspect I'll manage.

Joking aside, I have a deep-seated desire to at least attempt reading everything on this site. I'll get around to it, eventually. In an attempt to bring this discussion back to its roots, I must say I will never recommend it to anyone though, you understand.

>>7406
Neither would I. I wish people'd stop assaulting me with requests of finishing the third run of it, though. I do understand it was fun and all, but I can hardly remember what it was about. Aside from the protag having a kid with his own mother, I think? Don't refresh my memory, please. I don't want it refreshed.

I would like to read a story where MC is Yukari's boyfriend, from the Outside, brought into Gensokyo without his consent after arguing with her.
Is there something like this here?

>>7420
Well, that is rather specific. I honestly don't think we have any story at all that fits those specific guidelines. There are some that sort of fit that mold, if you'll still take them.

>>7421
Is there a topic to request a story, if you have the idea, but not the guts and/or the skills to write it yourself?

>>7426
I think we had one in the past, but don't bother. Do you really think people will take your idea and actually write a story out of it? The best you could hope for is shooting the shit on IRC and telling them.

>>7427


This to be honest. You'd be best off blabbing off in IRC and trying to sell some writefags on the idea.

(By the way I hear #eientei wants another science fiction story...)

...you know, now that I think about it, I've never really read a Patchy story. Any suggestions?

>>7466
The closest thing to a Patchy route and not dead is "The Eldest Scarlet" in /sdm/. As far as Patchy MC story? Not any I recall.

>>7467
Not dead...are there no finished Patchy-centered stories, then?

>>7468
Arguably, Gensokyo High was Patchy route.

Memoirs of a Vampire has Remilia as an MC, and the first arc is entirely dealing with meeting Patchouli. It's also written by Glasnost. Expect an update come 2020.

A Fairys tale also had some good Patchy moments, including that one scene about the truth of things, which was awesome.

I'm grasping at straws here, really, but a Scarlet Stained Memoir had some good Patchy in it, if I remember correctly.

All in all, if you truly want a Patchy route, you just might be fucked.

>>7469
Patchy route would have an awkward h-end though. She'd be passed out the second you put it in her because of her bad health you know

then your dick is in your hand and foreveralone

>>7470
We've had at least one relatively successful Patchy h-scene, haven't we?

>>7472
Do you mean the scene in Gensokyo High, or were there other CYOAs that had a Patchy H-scene, outisde of /at/?

>>7470
>She'd be passed out the second you put it in her because of her bad health you know

>>7468
Not that I can tell, but god knows her and Sakuya are super heavily favored over Meiling (Isn't it sad, Meiling?)

I thought it was /sdm/, not /ignoring Meiling forever/. Same goes for /youkai/ (Not /sanae/) and /border/ (Not /Yakumo/). It goes triple for /eientei/ (Not /Let's ignore Reisen and drive Harker away/)

>>7469
Could you please refrain from bringing that up? Each time GH is brought up, Taisa scurries under a rock and old wounds are opened anew.

>>7482
oh shut up wiseman

>>7482
>I thought it was /sdm/, not /ignoring Meiling forever/. Same goes for /youkai/ (Not /sanae/) and /border/ (Not /Yakumo/). It goes triple for /eientei/ (Not /Let's ignore Reisen and drive Harker away/)
You make it seem like there's a problem with this. I'm not exactly seeing your point.

>>7480
by gods what has science done to our childrens minds

>>7482
You say that like driving Taisa away is a bad thing.

>>7482
>Each time GH is brought up, Taisa scurries under a rock and old wounds are opened anew.

Wah. He asked for a recommendation, so I gave it to him. If Taisa dies a little inside every time he so much as sees mention of Gensokyo High, that is none of my concern.

>>7484
characters being chronically neglected gets to certain folks and increases the tendency of such folks to do stupid things.

Is there any good Mima story?

>>7491
The closest I recall was Ancient Gensokyo LA and that's basically dead.

These days, people who acknowledge PC-98 Touhou's connection to the windows era isn't that common and even then most focus on the windows ones.

>>7491
HLA had some Mima, too, though I wouldn't call it a "Mima story" by any stretch.

>>7494
I remember the epic "Mima's cockblock" from this story.

>>7491

I think "Spirit Within" in /shrine/ was a Mima route.

>>7495
Huh? I remember no such thing. The only thing I remember cockblocking anon was their tunnel vision.

Any good Shinki story?

>>7525
Anything by fuantei.

Are there any stories with a good amount of Wriggle?

>>7525
Uhh, probably not. Shinki never has a prominent role here. The best you can hope to see her in is side character status.

>>7528
Forest LA by Scorn. Was shaping up to be (arguably) Wriggle route. At least, this is what my memory is telling me. Either way, it's good shit and you should read it.

In The Forest, A Dancing Light. This one is mega obvious. Definite Wriggle route and rather new so you can join in from start to finish.

Shadow over Gensokyo by Desdaxis. Wriggle was a vital component to this stories success. wwww

>>7528
I, Youkai by Klaymen also had a decent amount of Wriggle, and has the rare distinction of having a completed run to its name.

>>7530
Wait, it completed? I don't...

I got disinterested and dropped that story one thread before the fucking end? God dammit.

Any /at/ story with Cirno and possibly buttsex?

>>7563
Don't make me call Chris Hanson on you, you pedophile.

>>7564
Don't call me pedophile if the girl is in 2d, you asshole.

>>7564
I'm allowed to like loli in a touhou board, so go fuck yourself.

>>7564
Shut the fuck up, you retard.

>>7563
No, I severely doubt it. Cirno isn't utilized very often in that board, not to mention stories weren't posted there in any frequency till MtG came along.

>>7566
>>7567
>>7568
When did the lolicon contingent get so touchy?

>>7574
Lolicons are angry when called "pedophile".
I don't know for you, but I take that as a grave offense.

>>7579
Anyone who takes anything on the Internet as a "grave offense" is doing it wrong. Hell, I've partaken of the DFC myself from time to time, and you don't see me flipping my shit. Besides, >>7564 wasn't even troll-tier; it was just a mediocre joke.

>>7580
Pretty much this. I myself hate that people group pedos with lolicons, But its not exactly that big of a deal.

In fact, Why dont you all have a seat over there?

>>7580
I hate this mindset. You're talking to real people when you post on the Internet. Sure, some of them might be liars, but they're still real.

To get back on topic, are there any Hatate-centric stories? Fuck, I'll even accept stories with her as a minor character.

>>7591
Fell almost wrote one recently, but it lost out to Renko. Very sad.
Otherwise, she's appeared a bit in that tengu story in /at/. Nothing else comes to mind.

>>7593
Wasnt there that one Hatate story in youkai? I forgot the name, though I think it was a oneshot. Or in a series of shorts. I cant remember.

>>7594
She appeared briefly (two scenes IIRC) in FoM. Unless NARH is writing her I believe that's it.

>>7591
There's Moral's story in /at/, which despite its location is turning out to be a proper story in itself (it's generally centered on the three tengus), she made a couple of appearances in his /youkai/ story.

>>7595
...Well now I have to at least try to come up with something.

Alright, So I've posted here before and read some of the recommendations. I am a budding writefag looking for extremely good storys to steal take inspiration from. So far I've read The Game, Archetype of Self, and Restorer in Gensokyo. Are there any really big CYOA's I'm missing, aside from RaAN?

Also if you count unfinished story's I've read Fragmentation of Memories.

>>7607
>extremely good story
>archetype of self
Good story, yeah. But "extremely good story"? Not quite sure.

>>7608
I'm not saying any of these stories are the absolute best, It's just these are the stories I've heard quite the bit about. Not all of them were the best though, But i'm just looking for some of the best stories in any of your opinions.

>>7608
I wouldn't consider it a classic, but if you don't mind the MC being a fun Mary Sue on various (sometimes perverted) antics, then it's right up your alley. And it got Anon to go on a Yukari route, which is a feat considering how quick they are to hate her.

Writefag here. I need a break, so I'm looking for a short story.
I just want to take it easy with a cute and small story, so if you have one...

>>7610
I still kinda need to learn about some of the 'best stories' that I've heard about.

>>7607
A Fairy's Tale doesn't appear to be here yet, and it's easily one of the best stories on THP.

>>7612
Such as?

>>7613
Indeed, it's a nice slice of life/lead up to Gensokyo story. It's kind of a shame that Owen went on to do a very experimental piece afterwards.

>>7613
Thank you; that really does mean a lot to me.

>>7614
But if I never try to write something different, how will I know what I can and can't write? Imagine what would have happened if, after writing A Scarlet-Stained Memoir, I never tried to write A Fairy's Tale in the first place, because I'd never done plotless slice-of-life before and didn’t think I’d be any good at it. I don’t think an author should forever limit themselves to a single genre until they’ve at least tried out some other ideas and find out what “clicks” for them.

And hey, consider this. After nearly three years, at least I’m still here and still writing.

Any stories with Sakuya route?

Any Sakuya route stories?

Sakuya will never get a route because every single story writes her as a cold-hearted bitch.

I was recommended "I, Youkai". But I'm not really sure about that. What kind of story is it? A ground-breaking one? A heart-breaking one? A disgustingly adorable one?
I want your reviews before starting this story.

>>7650
Not true, though many stories that get anywhere near a Sakuya route seem to die or the author suffers from laziness, like Anonymaster. Stories have tried to go on Sakuya route, often spoiling the chances of anyone else getting one in the past.

It's been said that the K_S server story in /sdm/ might have been Sakuya route, might have been Koakuma route.

DAMN YOU HY FOR DROPPING EOSD/SDM LA 2!

>Stories have tried to go on Sakuya route, often spoiling the chances of anyone else getting one in the past.
Shut up, Wiseman.

>>7651
It's been ages since I've read it, but I'd say it's worth your time. You've got an interesting protagonist in that she's extremely childish and naive while also being a man-eating youkai, and the juxtaposition from the eyes of the character herself is quite compelling. It's a very slice-of-lifey story, the protagonist just chilling out with some of the weaker Touhous and learning about the world around her while also killing people in the very next breath. I wouldn't say disgustingly adorable, but it has its moments and it's consistently fun.

Klaymen is a very solid writer as far as authors on this site go, but the big thing it that he's committed. He's one of the very few writers here who's got two complete stories to his name and he's still going strong. Commitment like that means you know he cares about his writing and his characters.

>>7651
Either read it or don't, faggot, and form your own goddamn conclusions.

>>7659
Fuck you, wanker.
If I want to ask for someone's opinion, I'm free to do it. If I want to know if a story is worthing the effort to readit, I'm free too. That's what you get for living in a free land.

>>7659
Woah, When did /th/ anon's come to /gensokyo/?!

Also, I recommend Orin's Little Visit, along with the stories that follow it. It's pretty damned good for what its worth.

>>7658
Actually, she moved from killing people rather early on and settles for messing with them sometimes while being very cute.

She did kill a boy early on, but with Keine and Komachi's help, they were able to ressurect him

>>7662
That story is sweet I was puking caramel for three days after reading it. I recommend it.

Anyway, any Makai LA story?

>>7591

I will write one right fucking now.

>>7665
I love you.

What stories have particularly notable Akyuus? I'm curious.

>>7669
There's one going on in forest, but its not very far in.

>>7669
Ai Ai Akyuu written by our resident attention whore.

>>7672
You do realize that by calling him that you're reinforcing the label and creating a self-fulfilling prophecy?

>>7678

And by kicking up a fuss about him you're reinforcing it even more.

>>7695
You should say "no" when you don't know things. Here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labeling_theory

Any story about Shinki and Alice?

>>7726
It's not quite about Shinki and Alice, but I did write an Alice-centric short story that got a fair amount of acclaim. It's listed as For A Hungry Youkai in the story list.

>>7727
Oh, okay. I'll give it a try.

I don't know where to speak about this, but I get more and more error like this:
Fatal error: Out of memory (allocated 524288) (tried to allocate 4864 bytes) in /srv/thp/lib/adodb/adodbSQL_drivers/mysqli/mysqli_driver.inc on line 218

Stitches in Time has a cool concept (deathmatches caused by Weird Time Shit). It deserves way more votes than it is currently getting, imo. stupid sporadic update rate

Any good Remilia-route stories?

>>7894
Other than SDMLA?

>>7896

Yes, please.

>>7880
>>7881
>>7879
Uh, wow, thanks. I've been going overseas and stuff so couldn't do as much writing as I liked, but I'll get on updating that at some point.

>>7899

Hooray!

Is there any story around here where Cirno is a major character aside from "A Wizard Is You" ? Preferably some where she isn't even more dumb then in canon, please ?

>>8002
Well, there's Owen's story, a Scarlet Stained Memoir, with a good Cirno.
Trust me on this one.

If you're counting shorts as well, do not miss The Last Stand of Cirno the Valiant either.

>>8002
>Cirno
>major character

I would like to draw your attention to just about every other story on the site.

>>8005
Where she is a major character? Note, Major Character does not mean comic relief, as that'd be a minor character.

Please, enlighten me to this 'every other story on the site' you speak of.

>>8005
I don't think any of my stories ever featured Cirno, as a minor character or otherwise, and I've been writing on here for years.

Does that make me a hipster? A hip... cirno... ster? Cirnpster? Hipstcirnoer? Cirnister? Cir...

Actually, never mind.

Not a single ice fairy in all the various stuff I've done here either.

Actually, wait, I have one but that's not a Cirno.

Honestly there's only a few stories that have her beyond a cute 1-2 time appearance.

WUiG- She was the original little sister figure
Wizard- Daughter/Student figure.
ASSM- She was the love interest but well...
Flea- She was a pretty major character in that, too bad about it never finishing.

Doll Quest has a pretty badass Cirno too.

You know what we really need ? A Cirno centric story. We would be Cirno herself as we take on the challenge of becoming The Strongest !

Dunno if it's the right place, but if there any /at/ story where the main character is kinda pedophile and always going after the loli cast? I really want to see how Suwako would react to that.

>>8021
Not sure if she's major character in that, but it's safe to say that her army is the strongest.

>>8023
Doll's Quest is still a pretty young story, so you never know what the future will bring.

I know I certainly plan to vote toward allying ourselves with her if given the chance at any rate.

>>8021
>>8025
>Anonymous!PEOpSGyo0.
>!PEOpSGyo0.

What the fuck are you doing? Get out of here with that shit.

>>8028
Is everyone THAT anal about this kind of thing or am I just unlucky ?

*sigh* Why are Quest websites always Imageboard ? The complete anonymity is an open invitation for douchebag.

>>8029
Play by our rules or leave.

>>8030
Imageboards cultivate the absolute worse trolls on the Internet but can't handle a little bit of individuality ? That's a laugh.

>>8031
It's about being judged by the merits of your words and deeds, not your name. There will always be the overzealous faction that wishes everyone to conform or die and they're not the most jovial kind of people usually but personally I think that that vocal minority is a necessary evil given the sheer stupidity most communities contain.

In short, emoticons and avatarfagging and all that is an eyesore. Different environments require different behavior.

>>8032
>Different environments require different behavior.
Bingo. This is why you show up for a funeral respectfully in a suit, not drunk and wearing pre-faded jeans. Or why you don't blare your music at home at max volume if you don't want your neighbors to call the cops on you.

Blame bad parenting these days. Kids are brought up to think they're unique little snowflakes and the world has to appreciate them for it.

Individualism is fine and dandy as long as you manage not to disrupt the community in the process.

>>8031
I think it's because you completely ignore the guidelines. Here, Read this.

>5) 'Namefagging' is preferably avoided if you're not a writer or otherwise contribute to the site in some kind of meaningful way. While this is slightly less important of a guideline than the others, using a name when you're not a writer will just call that much more attention to you and make you more of a target for harassment.

You painted the target on your back yourself, we just threw shit at it.

Then I guess I'll be ignoring you for now on. It's not like I'm breaking any rule after all.

>>8035
Yes you are. Get the hell out of here.

>>8036
This is actually kind of fun in a sense. Too bad there isn't actually any hard rule that completely forbid "namefagging", isn't it ? 'Cause until there is one, you've got no leg to stand on.

>>8037
>'Namefagging' is preferably avoided if you're not a writer or otherwise contribute to the site in some kind of meaningful way.

Read >>6052.

>>8038

It is still just a guideline.

http://www.touhou-project.com/news.php?p=rules

>>8040
A guideline he didnt follow. Said guideline even states 'you will attract attention to yourself', which he did, and said guideline also states 'you will be a target for harassment'. Sure, It's not a hard set rule, But that doesnt mean he can go ahead and completely ignore it and then complain about it; it's just retardation on a new level.

>>8042
Don't worry, now that I've confirmed that people really are that bitchy just for the sake of being bitchy, I won't complain anymore. I'll just ignore the whiners entirely. they'll get bored sooner or later.

Congratulations. Your first impression to the world is that you're a stubborn, abrasive child. You enjoy that trip and everything that comes with it.

Why, thank you. And don't worry, I will.

>>8046
That's just about enough. You are baiting people. There is a fine line between making a point and just being an ass and mostly everyone here long since crossed that line several posts ago. This warning goes for anyone who insists on derailing this thread even further.

For the record I was >>8032 and I hold firm to my own beliefs. If you want to go against convention and do as you please do so without shitting up the site. There's a reason that most people don't like that sort of thing and your behavior is a perfect example why they are justified - being an arrogant self-entitled smartass is not winning over anyone. Deal with it and move on and if either you or anyone else derails a story thread or a legitimate discussion they will face appropriate punishment.

While I'm at it I'll state that the people who report people with names are doing it wrong. Cut it out.

Now to get this thread back on topic:

I recommend people check out other boards every once in a while since often there are great stories that hardly get the attention they deserve.

My last remark was out of line, true. I apologize.

While I'm here, is there any stories centering on Reisen that people would recommend ? I seem to exhaust the reserve of Cirno and I'm branching out as a result.

>>8047
Are you referring to Violet Sky?

>>8050
No, not specifically. Not everything is about me.

>>8048
Do you mind basically dead stories? As that's all you'll get in terms of anything Reisen centered. Poor bunny, chronically pigeon-hole into shitty fanon and ignored in favor of Kaguya and Eirin.

Also please drop the trip unless you want to end up like Wiseman.

I thirst for stories where characters like Meiling, Reisen and Cirno get the opportunity to break the mold of shitty fanon.

Any story with Mima in it at all ? Actually, make that Mima and/or Shinki.

And who is Wiseman exactly and what happened to him ?

If you want some Mima, there's Ancient Gensokyo (half-abandoned now). She's also in Hakugyoukourou LA.

Meiling is present in Princess Tepes' story, A Fairy's Tale.


About Wiseman, I don't know much about him, but according to the legacy, he was the kind of guy posting long and out of character write-ins while using his tripcode. Now he seems legit, but that legend is a part of touhou-project.

>>8054
Well, I don't do "write in" much. Not enough imagination, so that's one crisis averted.

Currently reading "A Fairy's Tale" right now and I plan to check Owen/Princess Tepes other stuff after that.

I'll check that "Hakugyoukourou LA" later tough. Thanks for the help.

Are there any good, recent active stories? Ones that don't require me to read more than 2 or 3 threads to catch up?

>>8060

Patchy Quest in /sdm/. Admittedly, it's already on thread 5, but that's partially due to it's popularity. At the moment, Kahi is churning out at least 2 updates a day. You could catch up quickly though.

There's "Shin Megami Tensei Nocturne Touhou Edition", although I am unsure how faithful it is to SMT, as I've never played it. It's been getting updates at a reasonable pace, and is still on thread 1.

>>8060
Why do you need to catch up? You can jump into most stories on the site without problems.

>>8064

Not >>8060, but skipping what part of a story is already there in order to sooner get to guiding the rest of the story should be obvious why it's stupid. It's what leads to the dreaded sudden course changes by anon.

>>8065
indeed and if a large enough group of people do this, well... cataclysmic shitstorms happen.

I must wonder if >>8064 was ignorant about that remark or just plan stupid.

>>8065
>sudden course changes
Don't vote until you know what the "course" is. Most stories are pretty simple; you can figure out where they're headed within an update or five tops.

>>8066
Could you guys work on your English or stop talking about others' intelligence? I'm serious. I don't mind bad English, and I don't mind talking about others' intelligence, but both is annoying as fuck.

Is there any stories with a Byakuren route?

>>8070
Not really. The closest is One Knight in Gensokyo, but I think Shou's in the lead.

Not really a recommendation, but what kind of story is "Merchant in Gensokyo"? I read some Spice & Wolf novels, and I want to know if it's the same kind of story, or if it's something totally different.

>>8073
It has less wolfass than SnW, but it lightly touches upon the business aspects as he goes around in Gensokyo and looks at shops. Maybe if the tide goes Reisen's way, we might see some moon rabbit ass.

>>8073
There's a hero-turned-merchant. He buys and sells goods across dimensions. There's very little economics involved, and he'll probably end up saving the world at some point. Oh, and half the females he meets are attracted to him.

Not like Spice and Wolf at all, really.

>>8072
Isn't it Nue who's in the lead? I remember her teasing the MC. Then again, that story is dead, isn't it?

>>8075
>hero-turned-merchant
>very little economics involved
>half the females he meets are attracted to him

>>8073 here, thanks for the review, I'm not gonna read that story.

>>8076
Nah, her antics haven't exactly endeared him (or Anon) to her.

>>8077
If you have a problem with stories where a guy can get the interest of a few girls, then you're in the wrong site.

>>8078
If it's just a few girls, that's not a problem for me. If it's half the feminine staff, then I have a problem with that.

>>8079
Well whoever said that was exaggerating how many girls were seriously interested as opposed to moderately charmed (which a good salesman/merchant should do)

I'm not sure if romantic routes are even going to come into play with such a story, and if so will the one woman from his home dimension be considered?

>>8079
I always did wonder why certain stories like this end up popular anyway.

>>8081
Wish fulfillment.

>>8082
>implying many of the site's classics aren't wish fulfillment on some level.

People seem to forget the roots of this site were based on hijinks and romancing touhous. Anyways, the Merchant story is more about the adventures and the process of getting merchandise than any particular romancing unlike certain stories.

Is there any decent Reisen story around to read?
I'd kind of like to read one, after seeing some posts in other places.

Have any stories or doujins attempted to explain Nitori's key? Or I should say, use it as a significant plot device/etc.
Don't ask me why I'm interested.

>>8085
That's not dead? Good luck with that for the time being.

>>8086
Not that I know of.

>>8086


Key to my heart am I right

>>8085
MiG

>>8089
Hell, I'd take more or less anything right now.
I'm desperate - I want some Reisen.

Long as it's relatively decent writing, and doesn't have BAD END or something.

I'm guessing it's out of the question to find any completed stories that I can read through, where you end up with Reisen?

>>8092

Reisen is in firm "Isn't It Sad?" catagory.

>>8092
What do you like about her? I don't understand why people fixate on characters like this.

>>8094
Yeah, when there's far more superior character like this one.

>>8095
About that, any good story with a recent character like Mononobe or Byakuren?

>>8094
Because people are sick of seeing only Kaguya stories in /eientei/ and similar things. For all we know, the guy who writes In the Forest, A Dancing Light did so because he was annoyed by the lack of Wriggle in /forest/.

Though I will say that the site will be getting a Reisen aimed story sometime rather soon.

>>8096
See >>8072 and no story has really worked in the TD cast yet. As far as stories centered around the Myouren temple, in addition to the Knight story, there's Let's Go! in /others/, though who knows when that'll resume.

>>8092

Misadventures In Gensokyo first, for context. Follow it up with "...Bang", by Fell. It's not a CYOA, but it's very good.

Any Tenshi story?
Last one I read was "Landlord of Mayohiga", and she was just a delinquent. I remember she was also in Archetype of Self, but is she in any other story?

>>8101
Check /underground/. You'll know it when you see it.

>>8102
A cruel joke.

Do the Right Thing has some Tenshi.

>>8094
More or less what >>8097 said.
I'm getting rather tired of just seeing Kaguya, Kaguya, Kaguya in every single story I read.

I want someone else in a story already.
And I'm a Reisen fan, and I've seen her passed over so often in favor of Kaguya, so, yeah, that's why I'd like to read some Reisen stuff.

>>8097
>Though I will say that the site will be getting a Reisen aimed story sometime rather soon.

We...We will?
That REALLY makes me so very happy!
Looking forward to seeing whatever that is.

>>8099
I've read Misadventures - that's one of the main reasons I want to read a Reisen story, since that story ended in a way I wasn't at all pleased with.

As for your recommendation - thank you very much!
Really, that story made me feel much better, even though I still wish there was more Reisen around.

>>8104
>I'm getting rather tired of just seeing Kaguya, Kaguya, Kaguya in every single story I read.

Maybe I'm missing something but please give an example outside my story and LSL of something that feature large doses of Kaguya. I genuinely am interested for obvious reasons.

>>8106
Chiefly the large amount of dead stories in /eientei/, with mainly LSL and yours being the two that are still go on in some form. The only thing worse than seeing so many stories harp on one character above all others is seeing most of them DIE. And if someone tries to start something in /eientei/, odds are it'll likely be Kaguya or Eirin.

This plight isn't uncommon in other boards, just ask all the Meiling fans about the multitude of Sakuya-aimed stories that puttered out, especially SDM LA Run 2.

>>8114
I have to contest that. Three stories that aren't dead (by the standards of the site anyways): Roll the Dice, Word of One and Haunting Resonance. All three are not about Kaguya (though I admit I have not read the last one yet, only skimmed through it). And most of the dead (or hiatus'd) stories have looked to be about other characters: Harker with Reisen, that astronaut story seemed to be about Reisen, Luck and lies seemed to be about Tewi, DIM certainly wasn't about Kaguya either...

This doesn't even cover the fact that outside of /eientei/ it's mostly Keine, Mokou and Tewi that seem to attract attention.
If there's a Kaguya conspiracy out there then I'd certainly like to be part of it.

I will agree that it sucks to see stories die and drop off, especially if done so quietly. But that's another subject entirely and perhaps better suited to another thread.

>>8117
This thread has hit the bump limit. Go nuts.

I'm proud to be part of the Tewi conspiracy.

Teruyo, man, calm down.
If you like Kaguya, hey, great for you, I'm glad you're in a situation where you get to read about the character you like (and also write about her).

But those of us who like Reisen aren't in the same position, and some of us see Kaguya popping up everywhere as, well, too much, especially when other stories die.

Those of us who complained about a lack of Reisen left your thread when you asked us to, so you don't have to come here and tell us that we're wrong about the sad state of affairs when it comes to Reisen stories, when we think there's not much Reisen in /eientei/ and that those who look like they might become Reisen-focused are derailed into some other path, mostly into a Kaguya one.

What I'm saying is, calm down a little.


(Now, with that said, I'd like to note that I'm looking forward to this Reisen-focused story that will come, judging by some posts!
I'll be sure to be an active participant, to the best of my ability, in that thread.)

>>8117
when I said two that still go on, I meant the two Kaguya stories.

Honestly out of the other stories, Word of one has the highest chance of actually finishing.

>>8124
I'm simply saying you're wrong in saying stuff like:
>Kaguya popping up everywhere
>Reisen-focused are derailed into some other path, mostly into a Kaguya one.

I've provided evidence that you're wrong, while you haven't done anything to prove your argument. I'm well aware that Reisen doesn't have a full story dedicated to her but you're ignoring reality (in other words the examples given) and resorting to incorrect generalizations.

I'm the one being wry and using humor here so I'm pretty sure I'm calm. Try not to be so melodramatic. Arguments, debates and conversations are usually not successful when one party completely ignores the other. Stop taking disagreement with your assessment as an attack on you or Reisen fans.

I feel kind of bad for derailing the thread a little but, hey, thread is full anyways and god knows that the site won't be hurt by a little activity, albeit a bit tangential.

>>8126
I enjoy reading your posts. Please post as much as you want.

>>8124
>>8126
Shut up you two. Now, where's my delicious Seiga route?

>>8130
Who?

>>8130
Get in line behind the Meiling, Reisen, Komachi, Lunasa, and so on.

>>8126
Not the guy you're talking to, but hell, figure might as well join in.
I wouldn't exactly call it ignoring reality, when your thread did turn into a Kaguya story and you then made fun of Reisen fans in said thread.


And, I've kind of given up on /eientei/ for a while, but from what I saw, it's not like there was much else 'sides our dear NEET princess that was around, so you can't really blame a fan of a character for getting the impression that Kaguya had taken over pretty much all of that place.

>>8132
>Meiling
Oh god, yes - I think even Koakuma has a story, among the sdm group!
Can't for the life of me think up one that had Meiling in it that actually ended...

But yeah, there's lots of underappreciated girls out there.

To you Reisen fans, what makes her so appealing to you? Honestly, I don't really get her personality. Could you explain this to me?

>>8136
She just is appealing? At least, for me, there's no other reason then that.

>>8136
Honestly the sense of reaching through to her despite whatever she's experienced and getting her to truly open to the world.

More often than not many stories gave a sighting of a cute Reisen and had to endure her being overlooked in favor of more popular characters.

>>8134
Closest thing with Meiling is that DOOMHOU story and that's basically on hiatus.

>>8136
I'm not the biggest Reisen fan but I like her because she's level-headed and hard-working if maybe a bit weird. I dislike the sex appeal angle and the glossing over the fact that she's a deserter and a coward (arguably most rabbits are) that the fans seem to do. What is remarkable about her is that she hasn't gotten a story dedicated to her despite her popularity. She's likely the most popular out of the IN cast.

>>8133
>Not the guy you're talking to
I think you are. I don't think you quite understand how things are: My story has been a Kaguya story since around thread 10. I, however, routinely make fun of most characters, their fans and myself (perhaps most of all). I'd love to see a Reisen story just as I would like to see a Tewi story or a good story about a whole score of other touhous (Yuuka ;_;). So take it easy, look at the other stories and vote. What people don't understand about CYOAs is that most of the time if they're character-focused that you get to choose the characters you're around. If you never read and participate in the stories, new or old, they'll most likely not go in a direction you would best want them to.

To put it more colloquially:

Ya gotta grab the moon rabbit by the ears, son.

>>8136
I can vaguely remember there being a short exchange on this topic in /blue/.

Hold on.

Here it is: http://www.touhou-project.com/blue/res/3434.html#3797

Also, superior human flesh.

>>8139
Were you referring to the fact that some folks think that the moon rabbits were anything of the badass sort as opposed to being cute and only good for taking down fairy maids?

I do share your opinions on Reisen's charm, though the core IN cast is pretty popular all around though before Sanae became the popular girl, Reisen was the newbie bait girl in terms of art/doujins. Sad part though is the fact that canon Kaguya isn't appreciated enough due to the spread of the fanon rendition, which has polarized some folks.

As someone who read DoLF2 from the start, I got the sense Kaguya or Eirin would be the likely candidates with Reisen being in a rather distant third.

It's easy to say "Vote for Reisen" but harder to do in practice as people seem prone to voting for Kaguya/Eirin/maybe Mokou.

>>8141
Yeah, it's partially the badass/gun thing, they're not very high in the hierarchy. Not that that's a bad thing, it's endearing in a way to have characters who aren't particularly malicious.

I'll have to agree on the canon Kaguya thing, I'd like to see more of that. I'll admit her personality in DoaLF is really just the premise of "what if she had been exposed to the realities of earth more, particularly utilizing modern means of communication" and works as a contrast to the other less 'exposed' characters and a complement to the protagonist (well the last part is more since the story began to focus mainly on her).

Though the approach in DIM is different. That's really the only really different interpretation of Kaguya that I've seen on the site. I enjoy it but I'm not 100% that it's that well-appreciated by others.

As for Reisen, I think she had a good chance near the beginning. But, like always, her fans seem to be conspicuously absent when they're needed the most. So she gets sidelined. My advice? Present a united front and work hard to convince others of the moon rabbit's virtues. You're got the numbers, certainly.

I'd personally love to see it. Then again I'd also kill for a proper route for most touhous.

>>8139
>Wants a Yuuka story
Have you checked out "Sunflowers"?
It's Yuuka Good End.

I think there are two Eientei stories that still have a chance to lean towards a Reisen route.

Come on, guys, let's create the strongest pro-Reisen battlefront!

>>8144
Which stories are those? I don't think Roll the Dice would have any routes and with that other story with the female (damn yuri fans) MC, it's too soon to tell.

What's Fleet Fox about? Is it a good interesting story?

Any Eirin route stories?

>>8146
It's an interesting story. The Writer's good but terribly eccentric.

>>8147
Closest to one is the naturalist story/DIM in /eientei/

Any Reisen route story?

>>8158
>The Year of the Rabbit is upon us! First one to finish a proper Reisen route wins a fabulous prize...a Tewi route is fine too

Nope.

>>8144
>>8145
I'd like to second this question - which stories would you be talking about?
I'd be totally down with getting a Reisen story, so please let me know.

>I'd like to second this question - which stories would you be talking about?

Not >>8144 , but I think he´s talking about Successful Eviction of Xu fu, by ddyk, and that new story, Haunting Resonance.

None of the authors have explicitly stated that there aren't going to be any routes, so it's safe to assume as much, IMO.

>>8164
>ddyk

I see Hartman's still at it.

I've heard from a good source that Demetrious is planning an /eientei/ story that's Reisen aimed.

>>8164
Eviction of Xu fu could become a Reisen story?
...Hell, I'm going to go there and see what t's about, then.


Hopefully it hasn'tbeen route-lockd onto somone else.


>>8165
Wait, ddyk is Hartman?

Damn, didn't know that - definitely means I should check it out.

Any Orin route stories?

I recently have become obsessed with that cat.

>>8168
None that we know of, though Bread's story has that potential, though trying to get it to go that way will not be easy at all. In that thread, you have morons spouting "Slutcat" gibberish and Okuu fans.

>>8166
>ddyk is hartmann
Same trip, same erratic speech and typos, weird expressions, an obnoxious self-insert story, and accepted random challenge just for "teh lulz"? That's him alright. Or his descendant from the future.

That asides, any story with Yumemi Okazaki from PoDD?

>>8165
Oh, damn, a Reisen story from Demetrious?
Hell yes.

I'd definitely want to read that!
Here's to hoping it happens soon!

>>8185
Hey now, no need to be like that.
I like the current story he's got, so far, and I think it will be fun to see what he does with it.



Anyway!
Does anyone happen to know a good Kanako story?
I'd like to read some of that, personally.

>>8185
Sanek did a Yumemi-PoV story in /th/. I can't recall anything else with her in a mejor role, though out of recent stories, Winemaker (SerialATA, /at/) had some time dedicated to her and she appeared in that wriggle story that's running.

Oh god.
I need your help, guys. I need a happy Yakumo story right now. Something completed or in progress would be best, but I'll take what I can get. Please.
Oh god...

>>8214
depends on what you mean by happy Yakumo. Archetype of Self ends on a Yukari route and a rather positive note.

>>8215
Don't read the first one. The MC is a full-blown Gary Stu. Read the second one instead.

>>8216
The first was fun in spite of that, and the second isn't likely to end on a Yukari route at all.

>>8214
Have you read "Mind the Gap"?

>>8218
But that's an /at/ story that goes all over the place.

>>8218
But that's an /at/ story that goes all over the place.

>>8218
It's an /at/ story, what do you expect?

>>8217
What he said - I'm not sure if the second run could, at all, count as a Yukari story.
First one is pretty fun, and it definitely has a happy Yukari end.

>>8219
Quite a big part of it is Yukari-centered, though, so there's that.
I mean, there's more of Yukari than any other girl in that story (except possibly Ran).
And Yukari does get rather affectionate with the MC.

>>8223
that's mainly inbetween the various "arcs" (i.e. Rick fucking just about everything in a given area) Not bad though it dilutes the Yukari focus.

HLA2 was yakumo focused but Patchwork, Hiatus etc. To be honest before that point things were leaning towards Ran.

I'll try Archetype of Self.
I need to stress that that I need a story focused on the entire Yakumo family, though, not just one.

You know, there is one that could have a chance for Reisen, if people would want it

http://www.touhou-project.com/others/res/37305.html

I mean, might as well try, right?

>>8226
There's an /eientei/ one that seems to promise a Reisen route. Hope you don't mind a female MC though.

>>8227
Hasn't been updated in a while...
Besides, the one I linked to has the potential for Reisen, so I figure, might as well let other Reisen fans know about it!

More Reisen fans that know about it, the more of them can vote on it, which should increase our chances for a Reisen route.

>>8237
We shouldn't mindlessly vote on a route because _____ hasn't gotten one.

Though to be honest with merchant and that /eientei/ story, Reisen is looking like a nice option.

>>8238


Reisen always looks like a nice option, though.

>>8242
There's not much in the way of bad Reisens, it's just that someone finds a way to overshadow her.

>>8242
Which is why I gave a link to the merchant story, yeah - the more Reisen fans that see it, the better our chances are that we'll actually get a Reisen route.

>>8279
but we should be mindful about it and not brainlessly voting for anything Reisen related at the expense of the story itself as that does nothing but piss everyone else off.
