[Commentary Thread] Dear Sweet Kami-sama, Why Do You Hate Me So?

You've finished the TM arc of Being You, then? I apologise for falling behind (becasue I like to give commentary to encourage fics I like) but I was occupied with some home repairs and now got Distracted (with a capital Disgaea) coming out of that, due to having started Disgaea 2 fresh while waiting for the guy at the parts outlet to poke through the warehouse and come back to the sales desk. Curse those addictive video game designers, curse them with 300 Felonies, a lv300 Mentor and a lv300 Broker!

If it was a 3d Action RPG like Kingdom Hearts, had mecha (beyond the Super Robo Suit), and maybe a little more variation in the random terrain generation, it would be the Perfect Game.
Ah, so that's what happened to you!  I saw the clues on other parts of the board, but I never really put it together in my head.
And yes, the Tenchi Muyo arc is pretty much done.  All there's left, really is the tweaking.  Granted, there's also going to be the myriad of side stories to come, as well as the bits where we look back and see what everyone 'back home' is up to while Garrick is away.  There's going to be quite a few stories to tell, but they're not going to come all at once.  I'll take my time with it.

Anyway, that's off the topic of your writing. To be honest, DSKS didn't
really grab me the first time arund, so I don't have much to say about
it, just that I think you'd be better off sticking with the current
story to avoid losing momentum.
Hmmmmm....

I don't know what you're using for a
timeline of events - the only one I recall had things mixed around like
it was broadcast in Suzemiya Order - but if you take them one at a time,
make some notes as you watch and then expand them into some rough
segments/a rough draft in the rest of that day's writing time it might
be a while before you had another release-worthy (or might not, once you
get going, who knows?) but you'll be in good shape to kick the whole
thing into shape once you've gone through them in a couple of weeks, and
won't have let your ideas about Garrick and his travels stagnate.
I have no real intention of permitting Garrick's story to stagnate.  But the problem is that DSKS is still something that is very near and dear to my heart.  I just never really had... well, the skills needed to produce something of that magnitude.  While I'll try not to, I know for certain that I'll get bogged down at points.  This is where it'll be good to have another project to turn to.  Besides, I said before that I had no intention of abandoning DSKS, and I still don't.
As for the presentation of DSKS coming off as being Suzumiya-esque...
I apologize for that.  What I should have done then (and, I realize now, I should have done with BYiS) is to have a dedicated story-thread to keep it all in one place and help prevent it from hitting that 300-post limit like the BYiS thread did, and keep all the conversation concerning the story in another thread.
It's too late for me to do this now with BYiS, but I'll talk with Bob and see if he can permit that for BYiC and the DSKS Reboot.

I know I'm hardly in a position to talk about how to write quickly, but
during the only times that I was churning out a thousand words or so a
day on Bubblegum Disaster, this was my process, though I was taking it
by scenes rather than full episodes.
This is pretty much what I had been doing in Being You is Suffering.  I had a general idea of where I wanted to go with things, and I simply took it one story arc at a time, going scene by scene.  Sure, there were times I skipped ahead a bit, but that was mainly because I was stuck at a particularly tough spot.  But eventually, I would get it sorted out and fill in all the intervening segments.  I have to admit, this has worked out very well for me, and I think it will work out just as well in DSKS.
