Thank you so very, very much for your compliments about the go! Go is something I think is really important to capture, and while it's hard because my own knowledge is very limited, I do make sure to research and figure out the flow of the game. I am following in Hotta-sensei and Umezawa-sensei's footsteps by picking actual existing games and using them as my model; it's helped me out a tonne.

(I'm glad! I'm one of those people who likes to figure out where they're 'really' located and what kind of options they'd have available to them (bless Google Maps Street View! Such an amazing tool!), so their dinner was definitely inspired by a few places nearby.)

As I mentioned in my reply to Qem, I didn't actually write 50k in a week; I picked up a WIP and finished it by writing 20k in two weeks, so it's not nearly as crazy as it looks <3
