The Lost [Redux] - Information and Feedback Post

[katmillia]

We were originally going to wait until December 1st to post this, but we finished a little bit early and decided to post now- hooray! Here is the project that we have been working on all of November- sort of as a NaNoWriMo project that we renamed to "National Awesome Making Month". We were originally going to do another new collaboration, but

I LOVE LOVE <33333 hate you guys. I have to read 32 pages of marketing (well, actually more, I'm just reading tomorrow's chapter XD) before class tomorrow, and prepare Japanese class and everything, and now this ;__________;

the site looks awesome though!

and did I spot Muse on the soundtrack there? XDDDD oh how I love them *dai fan*

So, this is basically a long way of saying: I'm gonna go back to marketing now, but just to tell you I'll be reading later XD and omg, <333, and have a nice december! Take some rest ^^

ok, actually replying to my own post, but oh well :

I read it all in one go (I seem to lack a life.......or I'm just ignoring the one I have, I ended up reading the summary for marketing and ignoring Japanese XD)

honestly you guys, I was crying at several points. This was so good, you broke my heart, several times, and I still love you guys for it <3333

me and luthien_mpl had discussed it when The Lost itself was ending: "omg why didn't they write what happened while Jun and Sho were locked in that prison, we want to reeeaaaddd" and there we go XD . You gave us what we wanted, and so much more. Thanks <3333

in the (un?)-likely case you won't update with *anything* anymore and I don't get to speak you guys anymore: nice holidays in advance! I'm taking this as a very early birthday present, even though that's still almost a month away, so thanks for that as well XDD

Hahaha we really thought about NOT doing anything post-story because we were afraid of ruining the whallop of the original ending, but the truth is, I think this actually made US happy, too, because watching them struggle and eventually find each other again was kind of beautiful, just like the idea of them dying in a cell together, just so they didnt have to be alone, was beautiful as well. :)

Thank you SO much for all of your support! We hope that you have a very happy holiday season as well. ♥ ♥

DIPLOMAS

Diplomas
Nino/Mabo - R

awwwww, NINO. :(

Re: DIPLOMAS

I really loved this! The story is so heart breaking I love Nino here, somewhat naive, the disappointment and hurt.
He didn't really feel anything, but he knew that someday, eventually, he'd keenly feel the knife that was still twisting in his back.
I think this line is great after he ruined his sensei's career coldly he walked away and I think in that moment he became colder towards everything and changed yet at the end he was still hurt and he knew sooner or later he will feel everything now he wasn't.

This is probably my favorite in the Pre-Story section It's excellent!

CHANCE ENCOUNTERS

Chance Encounters
Jun - PG-13

Re: CHANCE ENCOUNTERS

I thoroughly enjoyed the smackdown of Jin.

The addition of of these new characters is much fun. I like to think they all hang out together even after the story ends.

Re: CHANCE ENCOUNTERS

[r_1_ss_a]

ok, to be honest, i wanted to skip and read everything sho/jun first to find out what happened but i was all, NOOOO! I HAVE TO READ IN ORDER!!!

and this is where they meet. :)

plus! MAO! EITA!! :)

Re: CHANCE ENCOUNTERS

[hwlinyitw]

I love that their first meeting was nowhere near perfect (well, their whole story wasn't perfect). How Jun is really punishing himself for not being able to achieve the grades he need (I kind of feel really identified with him, though If I had a tutor like Sho, well ^^).

I also really like Jin's character here, he's really funny.

THE RIGHT CHOICES

The Right Choices
Sho [implied Sho/Jun] - PG

Re: THE RIGHT CHOICES

[r_1_ss_a]

i love straight-laced sho falling for not so straight-laced jun. lol.
i love how sho falls for jun. I LOVE IT.

did i mention how i love the way you both write sakumoto? please never stop.

Re: THE RIGHT CHOICES

[hwlinyitw]

This was a great insight of Sho's character that made us realize why he acted like he did most of the time, how he's always running from what he wants and trying to achieve the expectations his family has for him, but not being happy himself.
