His little debate with himself over whether indulging in decadent desserts was an abdication of his duty or an embrace of his education was delightful.

I'll honestly never love CG on a Kamen Rider show. Even done well (which... rarely!), it detracts from the tactile joys of suit actors and wirework and exploding quarries and all the rest of toku's hallmarks. I think what's been in the first couple episodes was fine, by the standards of the franchise that brought us Captain Ghost, but I'd always rather have another fight on a stairway outside the Toei lot.

You should consider uploading your collection of one-and-dones to a reputed site like fanfiction.net or AO3.

Thanks! I'm not sure I'd post anything outside of TokuNation (and an eventual backup/migration at KamenRiderDie.com), but it's nice to hear these shorts are okay so far. I don't... I really don't see myself becoming a fiction writer, honestly. This is, to use the Decade/Diend comparison, more of a form change than an identity change. Putting on someone else's suit for a battle, but going back to the normal suit afterwards.

Yeah, I'm using the FlameSubs batch off of the cat site. There're probably some bits of ancillary content that were subbed by someone else (TV-Nihon, probably), but the main episodes are all FlameSubs for me.
