There is a reason I only post clips of my writing online. That is: I hope to publish something.

However, in the case of some of my work, I don't know how a general audience would receive it. (My little experience doing an "Eternal Rain" side story for Creative Writing showed me that a good number of people are turned off by foreign names.) That's the case with "So Distant". There's the protagonist's name (Naoyuki), for one, which I don't think I could replace. Then, there's the content itself. In the most general terms, "So Distant" is basically a heavily-psychological abandonment and abuse story. Who would I market that to? Most adults would probably put it down when they see the names; on the other hand, the content is too dark for a younger audience.

I know I've had one person ask to read more. So maybe I will post chapters online, if there's an interest.
