I'll go +1 on Crosswinds of Fate as well. The prequel chapter back in Nasuverse was pretty weak, but the following one back in HP-verse thankfully returned to being solid enough.

I'm kind of partial to ImperialSoldier!Archer and TaishoEraMaiden!Rin. Though Detective!Archer having a tea incident is cute.
Neo.
I have a hard time deciding whether or not I like Neo given that we've seen nothing besides her sassy grin, pwning people (mostly Yang), and getting really freaked by Raven. Though she does have...
Doesn't make the fic any better, true, but it means the author's at least not a hypocritical asshat. Which is relevant when we're being all supercilious and critiquing the author for being a...
I cheat, because Crosswinds of Fate made this comparison and I just read it yesterday, but I counter your garden gnomes with Magical Ruby.
So, Poe's Law, then?
I'm only requesting he draft two people for his porn, not come up with four of them. I do not require the entire proposed set of people to be gratified. I will be happy with Rin+Sakura,...
Oh, no, I'm not that picky. Rin and Sakura will suffice, really.
Though for a novel, that is short; the cutoff for calling something a "novel" is in the 50K-70K word limit, depending on whom you listen to. So among novels, they are lightweight.
Wouldn't the young adult novel be a better analogy? The target audience and level of writing cross over, there's a pile of forgettable follow-the-leader dreck, some series stand out positively from...
+1 to The Hearts of the Suffering, since its entire publication crosses over with my absence from BL.
I prefer: Real, and it's a frickin' teaser sequence for next year so that when it actually happens, we see how Raven contacted her and came to see her, and once they've had the offseason to create a...
That would be the "in the wrong ways" part I was mentioning. The flip side is that some things go entirely ignored. Like how Neo KO'ed Yang without Yang ever using her Semblance. Or how many times...
I have to agree with the above takes on E12:
The total lack of a sense of danger or urgency in the fight undermines the point of everything going on with it plot-wise. Early on, when Yang got...
Did not know that; excellent! (One of the things I kind of dislike about the show is that its a TV spinoff of a superhero cinematic universe...starring a bunch of OCs. And S.H.I.E.L.D. itself was so...
I have no problem with Neo beating Yang in the fight. Simply put, Neo is the better fighter.
What I don't like is the lack of Yang powering up. Unless we're shown a down side of that ability,...
In all seriousness, Fastball Special Zwei is basically a reminder that the kids are students and the teachers are uber-badasses. Plus Zwei is awesome, because dog.
Lots of fun stuff in this...
Hmm, I guess I stand between "For a Proper Adaptation," "Ufotable-quality fights," and "Something to Watch."
I like Fate/stay night as a story, I enjoy watching anime, I believe that anime is a...
So basically, Heroic Spirit EMIYA is essentially a whiny git with an overwhelming adherence to an excessively rigid world-view.
...And he's Shirou, so I can accept that explanation.
The problem with the "but one time..." thing is that it's not that he had a happy ending once, it's that he figured out how to put all the rest of the crap into perspective. So it's more like the...
Yeah, but the difference there is, EMIYA just signed up to save people, and he pretty well knew that that meant killing stuff, including other people. And without the emotional connection to the...
So now, rather than being confused over why EMIYA's UBW experiences didn't erase his suicidal depression, I am now confused over how anybody without any real emotional link to events, observing them...
Hm, you know, there's a way it could work.
If he receives only "knowledge," then we could say that his HS self can only access "a record of the events that happened." But that record may not...
