dmxratedDid a lot less ranting today, and caught myself whenever I did. A step in the right direction.
Unfortunately, I have just encountered a setback when BS4E got back to me at around 9 tonight with several things about his story. He said that he's playing by ear as to how long the fic will span for, and as it turns out, it mainly is gonna focus on physical and mental abuse of the main four after all, while other characters are merely going to endure mental abuse and threats. Reading his answer cued me to see what the boys actually did to Minoru in chapter 6, and it turns out it's exactly the latter, mainly as a way to keep him away from Tsukasa.
Although I did reply to his answers with a question regarding his choice of mainly the main four, this really confirms that the only parts of this fic I will be reading is the actual killings of the boys and what becomes of Miyuki, Kagami, and Kai (if I even still have it on mind then). Still inclined to read that, because one cannot unread what they already have read. It was narrated that Miyuki could face the rest of her life in prison, but it's pretty obvious that that's meant at least to keep readers in suspense, so that they stick around to see if she actually will. A lack of sufficient evidence is mentioned in chapter 8, but considering that Yui warns Miyuki about the requirement of credibility, I'm pretty sure the jury will side entirely with her and Kagami once their stories and everyone else's are told and put together. That is, if the judge doesn't call the trial off altogether based on the unlikelihood of a conviction at that point.
Given the problems this story has been giving me, this will probably be the last story I read by bloodscorpion4ever too early on. Especially considering how little fanfiction I've been reading lately, Lucky Star or otherwise. I think I started reading The Loss of Innocence and Broken Dreams (on the same day) mainly out of boredom, and I didn't initially have any interest in I Was Kagami Hiiragi, based on the assumption that Kagami, for whatever reason, deciding to try out some substance or another at a party. (Misao does bring her to a graduation party in the beginning, but that's not where it actually happens; rather, there are further combined circumstances together that led her into drugs.) Any future stories he writes should probably wait until they are definitively complete. In fact, this might even be the last story of his that I read ever, which is not helped by how he completely ignores the fact that schools in Japan do not run on the same schedule as those in America. (Konata mentions rush hour in the school hallways during Bonds, despite the fact that only teachers in Japanese schools move between classrooms each period.) Writing on the fly is one thing, but there really is no excuse for disregarding stuff as was explicitly shown in canon.
