Re: Having trouble with world building
The story is about a human girl who becomes suspicious of her small town after a series of disappearances happen. Given the setting and the protagonist's objective, this seems like a small-scale story rather than a fate-of-the-world kind of story. So while it'd help to know the big picture, you can...

Re: Writing Buddies!
Sent request as arisan~ I work according to the Eastern Australian timezone, though, so I don't know how much overlap that will entail @_@ My current project's my first foray into VN writing, but I do also write short stories and run D&D adventures for a few groups, so could trade ideas on those...

Re: When creating the story...
It seems that a large cast (of heroines?) is one of your key objectives, so let's treat that as a necessity. Given this, I would suggest you start your drafts with the two characters you have. As you write, you'll have other characters that need to crop up along the way. Typically, these would be yo...

Re: Is my writing good enough?
But I wonder if it even makes any sense for me to continues writing in English. I'd like to respond to this first of all, because I think a lot of what follows hinges on this. If you think your command of of English is limiting what you express, not simply in a technical sense but in terms of subst...

Re: Correct punctuation
Abiding by conservative rules of grammar, you would, in fact, use only one of them. Generally, it would be the exclamation point, as a question can be inferred from the context and sentence construction. Conversely, you could simply use the question mark if the sentence structure is ambiguous, but t...

Re: Disability and Chronic Illness in VNs
Well, wasn't expecting this thread to get more responses o: Thanks for all your recommendations! C 14 sounds interesting, what with the blurred lines between chronic illness and disability. Also, I'll admit I hadn't quite thought of Geralt's condition in The Witcher that way, but then my exposure to...

Re: Critique pls
Overall, I think the script needs refining in terms of the voice and characterization. It hints at a contrast between Rowan's archetypal chivalry and Mirabel and Clarisse's genre-savviness. Making those differences starker would potentially yield better, more consistent humor/irony and also make eac...

Re: Transitioning from novel writing to vn writing?
I'm currently making the rather jarring transition from traditional prose to writing a script for a mobile VN. I've only managed to get through a few scenes that I'd call close to satisfactory, but what I find works for me, in fact, is trying to use standards of poetry (though this might be because ...

Re: Western vs. Eastern Storytelling
To add to what's already been said, it's worth considering that beyond "Eastern" and "Western" (terms broad enough to be of questionable merit) storytelling, you also have to consider paradigms or frameworks of criticism or, speaking more broadly, reading. Taking Kuiper's respons...

Well, looks like I have my work cut out for me sorting through these o: Thanks for the recommendations~ Tare you only focusing on the narration from the patient (i.e the firsthand experience of the illness/disability), or do you also write about the people who supports the patient?

... is based on the story of the Moon Princess Kaguya.

Thanks for that quite extensive answer!
Right, that was a bit vague. My scope is limited to physical disability and illness, but not necessarily diagnosed medically.indoneko wrote:Is this limited to medically acknowledged physical illness only? [/size]

Disability and Chronic Illness in VNs
Hey there, I've recently been working on an essay (the academic sort) that has to do with disability narratives and visual novels. One (potential) obstacle to developing it further is a lack of primary texts. Now, this started, quite predictably with Katawa Shoujo, and I'd like to know: are there ot...
