RR -- Small Fandoms

[jane_elliot]

That's it for Small Fandom Week.  We're always looking for new fandoms to break into, so if you have any small fandom suggestions, we'd love to hear them!

Things to keep in mind:
-Recced stories can be any length, any fandom, and any pairing, as long as they fit the theme
-You don't need to write a review (unless you want to).  All that you need to

Naruto

It's not exactly a small fandom but it's incredibly hard to find good, long, adult fiction in this fandom. The best I've found is

Title: Diplomatic Relations
Author: Maldoror
Fandom: Naruto
Length: Very Long

If you've ever stumbled across the cartoons, mangas, games, and/or fiction, you know Naruto is the adventures of a young boy trying to become the best ninja in his village while working with, against, and beside dozens of fellow ninja students. The universe is vast, containing a dozen countries, ninja villages, characters and twisted plotlines - most of which don't exactly play toward a child's audience. Canon includes murder, rape, child abuse - mental & physical, pornography, genderswitching, perverts (one of Naruto's teachers' is actually nicknamed Pervy Sage), obsession, magic, bestiality, and demon posession, to name a few. Naruto & his fellow students are ages 12-13 to start. Since we are ten plus years into the manga, they are ages 14-15 present day. (smirk)

Diplomatic Relations is the story of Rock Lee, one of Naruto's

Naruto fic! I'm actually hugely excited about the fandom, so much so that I've *cough* procured the original source material. I haven't had a chance to read it yet (somehow I've gotten up to my eyeballs in major fandom projects), but it's at the top of my manga list. I'll save these recs until I have an idea of how the story goes.

Thanks!

I only know very few basic things about Naruto (enough at least to understand the terms) and had never heard of Gaara or Lee before, but decided to try this story anyway. I am very glad I did - I loved the complexity of the characters and the way the author portrayed the evolution of their relationship. Thank you very much for the rec!

If you read Diplomatic Relations, you may want to read the sequel called, The Kindred. As pointed out to me today, the DR site I sent everyone to does not have the comlplete story. This link, The Kindred, does.
