First of all, thanks for the add! ^^ I'll add you back, but you're gonna have to deal with my ridiculously long comments now... - I'm sorry for your friend. I can really relate, my dad's separated from my biological mother, and he's trying to date (even remarried once), but the few times he's been succesful it's ended in uber-drama disaster and once, physical harm. sigh.
Nah, it's okay! I can handle 'ridiculously long comments' since I tend to write long comments as well!!
And I know how you feel as well - the reason my friend confided in me is that sometimes my parents get really brutal - see, taking care of four children isn't an easy job in a godforsaken country like Bangladesh. So I'm really glad someone else understands as well! ^_^!
I'll be sure to check out your rec's, especially the smexy NaruIno one, and the SasuNaru ones (I don't know why, but girls are really attracted to yaoi! It's just so... *blushes* Ok, I'll stop talking now!) People hjave been recc'ing Kage Kitsune to me for a long time, btu I haven't had the chance to check her out yet. But I'll be sure to as soon as I can - one of my friends described her as the 'Queen of Crack'. Anyway, what are your favourite pairings? I'd really liked to know!
Ha, I figure we're attracted to homosexuals and their complete lack of interest in us in the same way guys are attracted to lesbians and their total lack of interest in male genitalia/psychology. :D But I'm not sure of the intricate technicalities of these fangirl/boy attractions... the next time I pass by the nearest deity-responsible-for-the-birth-of-mankind and/or Darwin's house, I'll be sure to ask.
As for my favorite pairings...? Haha, to make it simple.. NARUTO IS MY FANDOM BICYCLE! the long version of that.. suigetsuxnaru (a new fave of mine), kyuubixnaru, naruxnaru (... just... YES!), irukaxnaru, kakashixnaru, nejixnaru, saixnaru, shikaxnaru, gaaraxnaru, kibaxnaru... temarixhinata (it's so creepily awesome), narutoxino, hinataxhinabi (i just can't pair hinata with a boy, haha!), hinataxkiba (in small doses), SakuraxIno (also, small doses)
I don't read het fanfiction much, prolly 'cause it's hard to find a good storyline.. and I just can't put most het pairings together... At least with Naruto. And I have no interest in reading Naruto-fandom fics unless he's the main character.... *dies*
... Also, I have a complex about Sasuke being with anyone but Naruto... I think the little jerk's being ungrateful if he pairs with anyone else... >( I HATE that guy... why do all the fangirls like him? T.T
Sigh.. I feel kinda guilty that all my multi-chapter recs have massive amounts of hardcore homoerotica... Do I really need kinky-anatomically-impossible-man-sex once every three chapters... just to get through a story...? xD
What about you? Fave pairings? Even in other anime?
*laughs* I guess that explains a lot about my (unhealthy) addiction to yaoi...*dreams about steamy, hot... *blushes**
Hah, it seems like someone's a big fan of Naruto! Join the club!! I really love Naruto as well - it's been amazing to see how much his character has developed over the years. At first, I found him really annoying because, admit it, he was a kid yo'd want to smack with a brick sometimes! But over time, I just grew so, so FOND of him - he's very endearing in a way!
I agree that with het pairings, it's VERY had to find a good storyline! Most of it's just really AWFUL high school crap and illegible Sasuke-returns-and-is-suddenly-mad-about-Naruto/Sakura fics that really kills me every time I see them. The fandom's literally filled with raving, hormonal young pre-teen girls who know zero about something called, 'effort, plot and characterization'. Their minds are filled with 'aww...how sweet!, romantic cliches, and yay! happily ever after!' It sickens me sometimes.
See, the reason that homosexual pairings have a much more complex storyline or are better-written is becaus they're written by mature people, not hormonal pre-teens. And also partly because most writers in the fandom are female and I guess they want to explore malexmale pairing for the reasons you stated... Or, that's my perception of it anyway! ^_^! Any other reason you can find?
I really don't hate Sasuke at all - fangirls obviously like him because they're freakin' airheads who just fawn over his looks, but I guess, I find Sasuke's character very... angsty. I'm addicted to angst, by the way, and even though Sauke is one of my most favourite characters, I just LOVE to see him suffer. (NO, don't look at me like that! I'm not a hypocrite! XDD) And I don't know why, but my brain kind of works like this:
Angst = GOOD!
Any reason you hate Sasuke? Uh, don't worry, I don't blame you for hating him - he HAS done many, MANY things that that can contribute to a person hating him! We all have our own opinions after all!! XD
Well, I guess while I don't have a complex about Sasuke being with anyone but Naruto, I do have a complex about Sasuke being with anyone but Sakura or Naruto! But that said, I'm open to ALL pairing (even OROSASU!! Urgh, I'm going crazy!) as long as they're well-written. I even like SasuHina... at first, I was like, "Have they ever even TALKED?!!" But a friend of mine convinced me to read this AMAZING story, and it changed my mind.
It's a REALLY good thing that your multichapter recs had a lot of hardcore homoerotica because it DID help in taking Zlkh's mind off. See, I called her today about three-four hours ago and she seemed really... distracted, for lack of a better word. When I asked her what was going on, she told me that she was reading the smut I gave her and started giving me a (very detailed) explanation with dreamy sighs interjected here and there. She's SUCH a BIG pervert!!
'Do I really need kinky-anatomically-impossible-man-sex once every three chapters... just to get through a story...?' - darling, I know I do! XDDD
Sorry, I reached my word limit on my other comment - here's the rest:
Bleach:
IchigoRukia
ToshiroRangiku
GinRangiku
IshidaOrihime
IshidaIchigo
UraharaYuroichi
And finally, Naruto:
Team T OT3 (I'm really obsessive about this one! The dynamics of Team 7 are so awesome!!)
SasuNaru (*drools* both of them have such great genes...)
SasuSaku (damn, the angst some writers depict so beautifully with these two just kills me!
NejiHina (again, the angst! And I just LOVE ths quiet understanding between them and how they reflect what the other desires)
NaruSaku (they have great chemistry! and there are just so many cute little scenes floating around in my head...)
SaiNaru (*drools*)
KakashiSakura (forbidden teacher-student relatonship = hot+angst. Always a sizzling combination)
NaruHina (= cute)
SaiSaku (= funny)
SasuHina (weird, I know, but some writers manage to do it so beautifully...)
OroSasu (I'm REALLY not into BDSM unless it's SasuNaru/SasuSaku - oh, the many possibilities with summoning snakes *giggles* - but I just LOVE OroSasu CRACK!)
Sakuraxanyone other male (I don't know why but Sakura's character is very flexible and she's very compatible with a lot of male characters)
OrochimaruTsunade (don't ask me why - it's all in my thead. You know, those 'what ifs' and 'what could have beens' type of scenarios. It just rsembles the SasuSaku of another generation, I guess)
JiraiyaTsunade (oh my, now there's something that Kishimoto should have developed a bit more. I guess it resembles another version of NaruSaku)
GaaraSakura (I really wasn't sure about his pairing at first, but there's this REALLY cute one-shot where Sakura teaches Gaara the joys of ice-cream. It changed my mind)
ShikaSaku (I just keep imagining the intellectual debates they could have... and how Sakura would b so 'troublesome' for pounding him into the ground when he's being lazy)
Shikax any female (most;y because he finds women troublesome and it's fn to see him suffer the wrath of a woman)
NaruIno (these crazy blonde are FUN together!)
Um, I think I should stop listing my favourtie pairings now... thing is, I've read SO mant wonderful fics about SO many pairings that it'll take foevr to list them all... Most of my favourite pairings in Naruto are a bit... unconventional, with a few exceptions. I read a lot of manga and anime, and currently I'm reaing Ouran high School Host Club - I still haven't decided which pairings I like best and who to ultimately pair Haruhi with...
Have you ever heard of Code Geass, Deathnote, Gravitation or D.Gray-Man? What animes do you usually watch? Oh, and besides Naruto, do you have a favourite character? Or a favourite character type?
oh my god, I nearly finished my really, really long reply to this once, but then it deleted itself... >.< Alright, here we go again.. -
I don't even know how I got into the Naruto fandom anymore... but I know why I love Naruto. He's just got such a sunshine personality and his determination to protect his friends is so endearing... *blush* I think I could deal with the social awkwardness and bodily-function-fail quite easily if he was my (coughboycough) friend... xD
When I first got into the Naruto/yaoi fandom, I felt like I was too young to read the porny fics (I didn't know then that 90 percent of quality Naruto fic is also NC-17, haha) so most of what I was exposed to was the cliche stuff, an' I was okay with it (it was kinda cute). And based off the, like, one episode of Naruto I had seen, I guessed it could be canon... >.> (Sasuke giving Naruto watermelon bubblegum kisses? I mean, really?) But the more I got into the fandom, I realized that stuff was crap. But I agree, the het writers are much worse than the yaoi ones... So much unrealistic drama! I hate that.
Maybe another reason there's so much good Naruto yaoi is because girls feel much more comfortable digging deep into the psyche of guys, rather than facing stuff they might not like about themselves, writing a female character.
Why I don't like Sasuke... sigh. The list is long, haha. Well, reason number one is prolly that my guy is Naruto. So, I'm kinda obligated to dislike that bastard Sasuke. xD Personally... well, I feel like he doesn't appreciate what he has, I mean, he's rich, he's got friends, and people who could become close enough to become family. But he's just so obsessed with Itachi; who doesn't even deserve that obsession. >( Sasuke shouldn't be trying to get stronger for Itachi (why should the guy who killed his family get so much attention?) he should be getting stronger for himself. Also, he needs to realize when he could use some help (something he kinda figures out with Team Hebi), rather then trying to do effing EVERYTHING himself. Jeebus.
Ah, I have mixed feelings reading angst, but I just LOVE writing it. Can't get enough of the stuff, haha. It's prolly 'cause I'm a really ridiculously optimistic person in real life, so I gotta get all that inner teen angst out on paper. xD
As for Sakura... meh. Something about her (god knows what) just ticks me off! ... Of course, that might be 'cause I just can't forget her pre-shippuden when she did nothing! She just stood there with a kunai in her hand and cried a lot. Also, she cut her hair. BFD. -.- *annoyed*
Good smut is Good! :D And god, I know I always feel better after some good yaoi... *blush* like, all my friends know I love yaoi, but none of them know I like smutty yaoi... *dies*
Is vampire knight good? I never made it entirely through the first episode... Dx
As for Inuyasha, my fave pairings are inuyashakagome and sessomarurin (it's so sad!). I hate inuyashakikyou (can't spell her name!). Kikyo annoys me so bad, technically if she would just die, she would end up with Inuyasha anyway, right? 'Cause, Kagome is her re-incarnation. >.<
Bleach... that's next on my reading list, after I finish Naruto... sigh. WHY IS IT SO EFFING LONG, NOW!
god, OroSasu makes me go into mother hen mode with Sasuke... I'm like, "GET OFF HIM YOU PEDO!" ... but, of course, I support OroNaru (so obsessed with Uzumaki! *shot*) Yes, I love Shikamaru pairings! So cute. Also, Kiba het pairings. The idea of wild old Kiba getting tamed is cute. And yes, NaruIno OF COURSE! :D
Ooh, Host Club... You have to see the anime (in Japanese, with subs) to truly appreciate the glitter... o.o And you could never pair her with anybody, all the pairings are just too cute. >.<
Code Geass... seems perverted, from what I've seen. But I do plan to actually watch/read it, soon. Death Note: I love the live action movies, but I find the anime/manga kinda boring. Gravitation is also on my reading list, and I've kinda cheated and read a couple fanfics (I loved them xD). D. Gray Man... is that the one with the kid with the flame on his head? I started the manga... I didn't find it too interesting, haha ^^;

I'm sorry for your friend. I can really relate, my dad's separated from my biological mother, and he's trying to date (even remarried once), but the few times he's been succesful it's ended in uber-drama disaster and once, physical harm. sigh.
Anyways, I think desolate butterfly (http://www.fanfiction.net/~desolatebutterfly) would have something your friend is looking for. That writer does tons of oneshots for different genres and pairings in Naruto (and a smexy naruino oneshot that I love, but that one might only be on her lj...)
Also, this author makes me laugh until I cry, while simutaneously feel perverted- The Cereal Killer (http://www.fanfiction.net/u/1095230/)
Erm, in terms of a longer fic...
PWP, angsty: Until You (sasunaru) (hinataharem)(http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5164928/1/Until_You)
PWP: Weapon's Check (sasunaru)(http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2533639/1/)
Kage Kitsune has a lot of funny sasunaru chapter fics.. (http://www.fanfiction.net/u/96132/)
Urm, my list of faves is longer than I can list, but feel free to message me for some more! ^^ Hope one or two of these make your friend feel better.
