AU Meme

This sounds fun:

Take any one of the fandoms you know I write/rec/read AND give me a type of AU (space opera AU, pirate AU, superhero AU, etc) or another time period (Ancient Rome, Regency England, etc). I will then explain the gist of the story I would write for that AUUm, if you are unsure what fandoms I know, you can look at my tags. Or just

Naruto as a modern day horror story, a la Stephen King. :-)

Okay, I'm going to try but probably fail because horror freaks me out and so I never read Stephen King

It's interesting how the Naruto cast seems to fit in so well with this AU. Sasuke especially seems like he fits into the angsty troubled teenager mold that seems so common in (American?) shows/movies. (Which kind of makes me wonder how different characters are seen by people in different cultures...)

I like how you have Neji as a tag-a-long, both because of my love of Hinata-Neji interaction and because his obsessiveness pre-chuunin exams fits with the genre.

Neji's creepiness really does fit, doesn't it? Besides there always seems to be one asshole you end up sort of liking in these types of movies anyway and pre-chuunin-exam!Neji really does fit that. lol!

Neat! That would make a pretty cool horror movie, actually -- the level of creepiness could easily be adjusted up or down by determining what kind of demon Naruto is, exactly how deep Neji's obsession runs, and whether Itachi turns up at some point and what his motives are/were.
