I’d had half a mind to simply end it at chapter seven.  Trudging through eight made me want to slap both Naruto and Sasuke upside their heads for making even the simplest thing so difficult for me to the point where it probably would have been better if I left eight out.

So I had this nightmare, for real, an honest-to-goodness, genuine nightmare that the word count would not go below 11k for this chapter. Ctrl-a + beleted huge chunks of text of this sucker over and over in Word, even cleared the whole page more than once or twice, yet the word count would not go down.  Thankfully, the reality isn't so frightful.  ( Read more... )

Of course, as I'm wont to say, I will never do something like this again. Without a proper beta.But good tutti-fruitti on a bamboo popsicle stick dipped in celery gazpacho.  I never thought I'd see the day.  I mulled and moaned and insert-some-other-verb-that-starts-with-an-m-for-the-sake-of-alliteration over this, and, after some mighty heavy ( Read more... )

Naruto, you unintentionally sexual fiend, why did I write you so?  Honestly, going to Sasuke for a booty call summoning of the gluteus maximus? Note to self: The 90s called.  They want their slang back ( Read more... )

Somehow, overall, this ended up incredibly sappy--mushy in that Sasuke and Naruto way.  Basically, gratuitous drama laced with tension.  I blame the music.  Curse you, Amel Bent, Marc Anthony, Hamasaki Ayumi, and that Jigglypuff song from the Pokemon movie soundtrack?  O_o

Also, Word, we're about to have another row on our hands...and, er, source ( Read more... )

I'm such a dastard that easily cows at the tiniest instance of writing sex; that's why this is late, syrraki, because I was stalling. I'm so sorry, bb. Chicken, am I? Yeah, sure, you betcha. Also, multiple attempts at making this shorter actually made it longer.

I really, really want to write a Naruto/Digimon Frontier crossover.  As well as a Naruto/Pokemon crossover.  Right after I finish my Naruto/Onimusha Dawn of Dreams thingie.

Oh, goodness me.  With all the tsun tsun and dere dere going on, why are you coming out so ~moe~ Sasuke?  Not to mention all the unintentional sexual innuendo, jeeze.  Why am I ( Read more... )

I had to slap myself on the wrist to get this up.  Note to self: Stop procrastinating.  It's so hard finding places where to cut this, but I declare I'm almost finished. ¬_¬

As much as I love--love--a domestic Sasuke and Naruto, it feels kind of weird slipping it in here.  And, despite my attempts not to, I'm officially past the 40k mark.  smfh at ( Read more... )

I'm halfway there, or maybe not really, although I finished cleaning up the first part.  This thing is locked for good reason.  It's as rough around the edges as Naruto looked in the first series.  Clearly, I'm editing as I go along.

Nearly freaked out a bit when I kept getting logged off lj in IE, which I need to use paste from word because Opera ( Read more... )
