EDIT: Retitling thread to reflect changes to the setup - this thread will be for commentary alone from this point on.
EDIT2: Going through the thread and removing actual story prose from the posts - just seems to redundant to leave it there. Please forgive me for the spurious New Post alerts.
So, I'm kinda-sorta taking a bit of time between story arcs of my Being You Is... It's gonna take me some time to hash out all the details for the plot there, and a lot of it is gonna involve simply sitting down, watching every single freaking episode of MLP:FiM, and thinking, "What would I do here if I was Garrick Grimm?"
That said, I've been messing around with the idea of rebooting Dear Sweet Kami-sama, and I think that the time is about right.
That said, I know that some of you guys are thinking, "Why a reboot?"
Well, for one thing I feel that the quality of my writing has come a very long way since when I started writing DSKS. (In fact, I think I have that in particular to thank in large regard... that, and Fenspace.) Also, it will give me a chance to shift some things around and maybe even add in a few new things I've come across. For example, with what I've learned about Tenchi Muyo lately, Earth is firmly in the control of the Juraians, which would make the Oni staking a claim there look utterly suicidal.
Finally, this will let me give this the much gentler touch that I've given Being You Is... in regards to the main character's powering up.
One thing I would like to add to DSKS is a little gem called Umi Monogatari. Zeke helping to resolve the issue they have in that story would go a good ways towards furthering his development... and net him a few more entanglements.
And I'm also tempted to throw in Bakemonogatari if, for nothing else, the sheer amount of snarkage involved. Oh, and Zeke would be able to see and hear Mayoi. Mayoi, being classified as a Wandering Spirit, would have a pretty hilarious reaction upon meeting Zeke, I think. (This because Zeke is the Avatar of a God of Life and Death.) The only trouble is going to be topping all those ridiculous puns! They'd give the Punday Night Crew at Callahan's a run for their money!
So anyhow, anybody else got any thoughts and/or ideas?
