The "Asuka turning into a werewolf" thing is from Yamashita's movie concept . In the double-page spread that's in the book, Asuka looks very, very strange, and it's easy to deduce that her encounter with Fortune in the included excerpt of the story left her 'mentally contaminated' (i.e. a ...

@Derantor : The chapter picks up immediately where 11 ended. Does the first section feel less disorienting coming off the end of 11? >how does she know he plans to use Unit 02? I don't think he ever mentioned that to her. That was pointing back to Ch.08, which was the WORST chapter so one could be ...

Somehow, the influence of Seele upon Kaworu's speech patterns did not consciously occur to me, even though it should be bloody obvious... :facepalm: I had fun with this one. This chapter finally introduces an element I've teased through the AO3 tags from the start, which pleases me greatly. The exte...

@Derantor : You actually gave me the confidence to go for "Eros", so thank you. :D Going back over my work, that chapter actually... wasn't bad. I think I just suffer from a bad case of writer's melodrama and I need to get it under better control. It's a terrible habit and it's much bette...

This chapter was a pain in the ass and I don't like the results right now but I might appreciate them more later, I dunno. Ch.11: Eros As far as overall length goes... I am super not good at predicting this sort of thing. I seem to have a terrible habit of underestimating how long I'll take to cover...

Somehow I red FAR more sexual innuendo into the sentence “I have… ways… of securing a moment that is truly alone.” than I think I should have - unless that was intended. I think he’s just being impish there? But I guess it would be reasonable for Misato to interpret it lewdly, now that you mention ...

Jesus, how fast are you writing these chapters? Or are you just releasing them long after they've been written? As fast as I can, I suppose! "Riding the wave", and all. For the second question: I do a fair amount of "pre-writing", and some of this ends up actually being usable -...

The MP Evas carry replica Spears of Longinus that were initially camouflaged as ooken (the big double-bladed things). The eight remaining ooken-Spears transform off-screen sometime between the MP Evas eviscerating Eva-02 and the MP Evas impaling her to death.

Chapter 9 is up! @ Derantor : Wow, thanks so much for the detailed comments! I won't respond to everything, but just know how much I appreciate it. :heart: Good observations on the buildings. I had some similar thoughts, but you pointed out some things I didn't notice. You also made me realize ...

Chapters 7 and 8 are up!

7: Lifeshell
8: Chains

@Derantor: PM response is currently in progress!

The original dialogue for episode 23 uses iremono only, so there's not much to be gained here other than that iremono and utsuwa can mean approximately the same thing depending on context. There's no need to go diving for "utsuwa"s outside of NTE, really, since we have a previous instance ...

A pity the virus doesn't specifically select for idiots.

If you plan on commenting on Crying Man , may as well bump its devoted thread ! ;) If I knew you were going to take a look, I would have implemented a small but important change to Chapter 2 that I've been putting off, but oh well... Glad you appreciate the stuff about Misato's, er, "secret des...

Not a crossover I would have considered. Interested in seeing where it goes. I made it part of the way through Chapter 1, but I honestly think you need to give it another proof-reading sweep or two. There is a problem in general with punctuation not being properly applied, resulting in e.g. a lot of...

Chapter 6: Grief and Regret is up! @ Derantor : We seem to have a similar mindset on a lot of things, which is pretty neat. :thumbsup: Really interesting thoughts on writing style. It gives me a lot to think about that I normally wouldn't. Being able to write about writing is a skill in and of itse...

TV Tropes is really, really bad about unsourced claims, so without a link to the interview in question, I would take this with less than a grain of salt.

Chapter 5: Ghosts is up! Derantor , thanks so much for taking a look and sharing your thoughts! I know my writing is "technically competent", but I've often wondered how well it functions "literarily". For whatever reason, I've felt somewhat self-conscious about how threadbare e...

As far as I know, all available scans were provided by me, mid-00s or so. I still have the book, but my scanner is one of those tiny things where you have to physically hold the book against the glass for two minutes per page -- obviously I'm not going to scan the whole thing. Looks like the scans I...

Thanks, I hope so!

Next two chapters are out. Kaworu has made his first move.

3: Psycho-Hazard
4: The Herald

What would happen if Kaworu approached Misato in episode 24 instead of Shinji, and the two of them mutually bonded over a long-hidden connection tracing back to the day of Second Impact?
