This reflects exactly why I can't read fanfiction anymore without suffering a hernia.

"Thou shalt not make thy character a female with a p***s."

YES. YES YES YES. D8

While I agree with you, I'd like to point out that if you look at a lot of Japanese doujinshi and hentai, you'll notice that often they will make one of the male characters to be that typical "weeping uke." I'm not saying fanfics should continue that tradition (especially with Naruto...how the hell anyone can put him into that type of box, I have no clue!), but there is some grounds for its existence.

Oh, definitely, I don't contest that at all. :x That's definitely a factor.

I don't see how Naruto can be made into that either.

I just have to wonder where logic goes when fanfics are being written--or maybe part of being a fanfic writer is that you can't be logical. But then, there are some who do very well for themselves without bending logic, so who knows.

i say not all. it depends on the fandom and the anime/series/game(whatever it was) there are still doujins that does not do the weeping uke thing. its pathetic and annoying and IMO, naruto should not be stereotypical like that.

Oh yeah, I agree with that too. Things are rarely ever "all" of anything b.c there are always exceptions. And there is quite a bit of doujinshi that doesn't fit into this category in any shape or form, I'm just pointing out that this type of thing does exist and it exists outside of just fandoms.
