Nov. 20th, 2013 05:23 pmSo, everything that bloodscorpion88 has worked on to date is no longer available on Fanfiction.net. Found out earlier today when I checked the site's Lucky Star archive and noticed that her current fic, I Was Kagami Hiiragi, isn't there anymore. Not sure whether she herself or a moderator removed all of it. The Loss of Innocence, along with its spinoff oneshot The Diary, both feature graphic descriptions of Tsukasa being raped, and the first half of the aforementioned I Was Kagami Hiiragi is all about Kagami sinking into a life of drugs, violence, and prostitution after her older sister Matsuri and her friend Misao Kusakabe are both killed in separate incidents, but neither of her other LS fics feature any such thing, and her account itself is still there.
In any case, I've already been considering doing away with the whole Hunt Club arc that I had planned out for Starbound. Assuming that the main characters' sixth senses work the same way as Rokuna's in Mon Colle Knights, eliminating the club would suddenly go from arguably impossible to way too easy, making the arc itself rather pointless: Find someone, pry into his or her mind, figure out who leads the club, find the leader, dig up as much dirt from them as possible on the entire club, and then call the police to fill them in on where and when the next meeting is planned out.
Especially when, according to bs88, everyone knows everyone else's name and address within the club, which if you ask me, is not only nearly impossible but not even a good idea, seeing as anyone with such information could sell everyone else out in one fell swoop if they decided to change their ways. If anything, the president and other elites of the club should keep track of such information, and sic a few minions on anyone who threatens the club. Keeping anyone who might seem to be getting "weak-kneed" probably isn't a good idea either; such members should be asked not to come to any further meetings, and should have eyes kept on them in case they do pose a threat.
Even with those tips that I was planning on giving to the author next time she were to reply to me (her life is a lot busier now than when she was working on Bonds itself), the club still wouldn't exactly be fallible. If it were possible for anyone to keep an eye on every single person attending a meeting, then obviously, Stetson Kennedy wouldn't have been granted membership to the Ku Klux Klan when he was asked to swear not to leak that organization's secrets to outsiders. The KKK was ingrained throughout the United States of America, and it took nationwide leakage through a radio show to collapse it; the Hunt Club is just one group of bullies that plague a single high school in Japan, and it wouldn't even take psychics to tear it down; just one traitor (or anyone who joined specifically because they smelled a rat) to sell them out, and everyone else wins. Hunt Club disbanded, Ryouou still stands, everyone continues their education like normal, problem solved.
