①
Title: A Shippy Story (working title)
Pairing(s): none/interpretive
Rating: PG-13
Summary: Recast Akatsuki (and Ino!) as pirates, and Kakashi, Shikamaru and Naruto as the British Navy. No they don’t get along, but that’s never stopped anyone.
five scenes this writer would like to see illustrated:
1. Konan in her corset (pg 1)
2. pirate!Deidara playing with his canons (pg 3)
3. artist’s opinion of what’s actually going in the brig (pg 11- 15)
4. Tobidara being theatrical (pg 13-14)
5. open bar! Drink up me hearties, yo ho! (pg 21)
exerpt: [none]
②
Title: Succession
Pairing: Chiyo/Danzo
Rating: PG
Summary: Danzo's life in... free-verse poetry. Yep. Emphasis on his changing views on family and relationships throughout his life. Did I mention there's Chiyo/Danzo, and this affects him a GREAT deal? Explores relationships with Orochimaru, Itachi, and Sai, likewise.
five scenes this writer would like to see illustrated: [none]
*from the author's notes: This fic may be very difficult to illustrate for. I'd prefer something conceptual rather than any one scene.
excerpt:
"Danzo was not a man that enjoyed using harsh words. He preferred using gentle coersion, applied psychology to get people to do what he wished. And when that did not work, more extreme methods could be used.
None of these would work on Orochimaru.
So Danzo resorted to lectures.
And threats.
Orochimaru would never be Hokage. The sooner he accepted that fact, the better it would be for him.
He simply was not the type. He was not the warm sunshine, the kindly leader.
He was a snake.
And his place was underground.
Danzo needed a successor.
Orochimaru was like.
A son.
To him.
There would be consequences for not following Danzo's advice.
They were not orders.
But.
Danzo doubted that the general public would like to know about the sorts of things Orochimaru had been doing in the dark.
In the lab.
In the bedroom.
Even though it was for the good of the village.
Their village.
Most of it, anyways.
There was a place for Orochimaru already.
The thing in those golden eyes was ambition.
And repulsion."
③
Title: Cup of Bullets (or Dammit Horatio, I'm Yakuza not Indiana Jones!)
Pairing: Kakashi/Naruto.
Rating: NC-17
Summary: Mafia AU. When Kakashi's roped into teaching the kid how to shoot, he never expected to be so surprised.
five scenes this writer would like to see in illustration:
1. Kakashi has Naruto pinned in a jujitsu submission hold, Sasuke walks in on this and is... probably too amused for either of their own good. (page 8)
2. Sex scene, any bit of it (page 20)
3. Naruto whacking Kakashi in the face with a pillow, then tries to smother him. (page 26)
4. Dancing on water. (page 28)
5. December 12, 2012; epic showdown between Sasuke and Naruto (page 31)
excerpt:
"
"You're LATE," the blond yells. It'd startled him at first to find a Yakuza's son to be blond, but the leadership's been taking caucasian mistresses for years now and he figures it's some of that western blood peeking through. It certainly also explains the universal attractiveness of the upper cadre and their children, the blond being no exception.
"I forgot what Day it was," he shrugs.
"LIAR."
Kakashi just smiles, and waves at the table, "Well?"
The young man snorts and disassembles the parts, wipes them down, and reassembles the gun. It's a bit shaky, and a little inefficient, but overall... Surprisingly not bad.
"Good. Now do it faster."
"But I did as you-!"
"Faster." He interrupts, and waves the protests off, leaving. Maybe he can annoy the blond enough for him to refuse to deal with Kakashi again."
④
Title: Currently Untitled
Pairing(s): Neji + Lee
Rating: PG-13
Summary: Ten years ago, Neji left home and began a private investigation firm. Neji finds himself gathering information about a dangerous group of men and Lee arrives on his doorstep just as things begin to get dicey. It’s great to reconnect with an old friend, but what are they going to do about the people who keep trying to kill them.
five scenes this writer would like to see in illustration:
1. Lee singing karaoke (pg 18)
2. Neji behind the computer, with glasses, concentrating (pg 3)
3. Neji and Lee, perched on a roof, in vigilante mode (pg 1)
4. Neji looking in at his destroyed office (pg 7)
5. Neji staring down the thug that managed to hit him in the head with a piece of wood (pg 13)
excerpt: [none]
⑤
Title: Man of Dreams
Pairings: one-sided Hashirama/Madara, hints of one-sided Mito/Madara. (And hints of every Uchiha/every Uchiha.)
Rating: R
Summary: The history of Konoha's founding, assuming that Hashirama was madly in love with Madara the whole time. From the initial treaty through the Valley of the End. A long, stream-of-consciousness, strangely-written, mindscrew-filled chronicle of horribly angsty love.
five scenes this writer would like to see in illustration:
This is the kind of thing that might do well with plain old general art that just shows the characters interacting the way they typically do in the fic.* Also, a fanmix will make me happy as well. But, highlight scenes:
1. Totally abstract and barely sexy wet dream sequence (scene 7) or post-death dream sequence (scene 56)
2. Madara totally checking out an Uchiha with Hashirama going "wtf" (scene 19)
3. Mirror-smashing of angstful rage (scene 29)
4. Hashirama completely sloshed (scene 32 or 45)
5. Valley of the End battle (scene 51 and 52)
*This is my way of saying "if you gimme some straight-up HashiMada, particularly of the unrequited angstful kind, I totally won't complain."
excerpt:
"They knew every inch of each other's bodies. They knew each other's bodies as well as they knew their own.
Each knew the other's skin, his eyes, his hair. Each knew the other's voice, what he sounded like when he murmured, what he sounded like when he screamed himself hoarse.
Each knew the other's sensitive spots. Each knew how to make the other sweat, how to make the other pant, how to make the other moan.
Each knew-as no one else in the world could know-how the other one moved. Each knew how the other's muscles flexed, slackened, tensed. Each knew the other at his very best, breathing hard, limbs trembling, every muscle moving and pulling, that endless and intoxicating and rhythmic motion.
They knew how to respond to each other, how to move as one, how to compliment each other exactly. Perfectly.
They knew each other thoroughly, consummately, and intimately.
On the battlefield.
Only on the battlefield.
This is a discussion of their combat tactics.
Obviously.
It didn't mean anything else. One must know one's enemy; the better one knows one's enemy, the better one may fight him. If they hadn't known each other so well, neither would have survived as long as he did. It was a matter of survival. It was a matter of necessity, of life and death. In order to protect themselves and their clans, they had needed to have that knowledge of each other.
So was it really so strange that-
Oh, please, please, don't think of that, don't think about...
... Was it really so strange that, even now, even when they were allies, even when they hadn't fought each other in years...
Was it really so strange for Hashirama to still have that same obsession?"
⑥
Title: Bite Me!
Pairing: Naruto/Sasuke
Rating: NC-17
Summary: Alternate Universe. Uzumaki Naruto is an average broke college student pushing coffee beans for minimum wage at the local Starbucks. Uchiha Sasuke is an average vampire with a regrettable java addiction and a need for fresh blood. Love may work in mysterious ways, but this downright ridiculous.
"AS FOR ILLUSTRATED SCENES, THERE'S NOT REALLY ANY I CAN PICK. D: Most of the scenes involve Sasuke in a business suit, Naruto in typical jeans and AN ORANGE T-SHIRT (or a white polo and Starbucks cap/apron); the main settings are Sasuke's penthouse, Naruto's crappy apartment, and Starbucks. There is lots of coffee and blood and MANLY KISSES and camoes from Sakura, Itachi, Kisame, and Kakashi. This story would work best with an artist who is willing to do more explicit material and/or an artist who prefers to do comic panels over a single picture, as most of this story's BIG MOMENTS are sequential and include dialogue. (AKA: Dear Artist: I'm so sorry but my story is laaaaaaaaaaaaaame.)"
excerpt:
“I’m a vampire,” Sasuke announced at 10:37 p.m., when Naruto made it to the expensive, lonely penthouse where Sasuke lived. Contrary to what Naruto might have been expecting on their first date-maybe the French maid costume fantasy was a bit much-Sasuke’s predatory gleam and sibilant voice more than made up for the lack of cross-dressing. Proud that he had been able to know that there was a pervert in Sasuke (he had grown up in a house full of them) Naruto grinned his devil-may-care grin, pulled his orange shirt over his head in a hasty movement that left him struggling to get the collar over his head, bared his neck to dark eyes, and said cockily, “Bite me.”
And Sasuke bit. Hard.
“Ow, the fuck-!” Naruto pushed Sasuke off him, making him stumble in a way that still managed to seem graceful. His dark eyes glittered. Naruto’s blood on his lips made them seem softer, and though Sasuke just fucking bit him, Naruto was burning with a desire to fist his hands in Sasuke’s hair and kiss him until they had difficulty breathing. “What the fuck did you do?”
“I bit you,” Sasuke replied simply, as though speaking to a child or someone with limited mental capabilities. Naruto felt the tackiness of his blood on his throat, though the surprise of the initial pain had dulled to steady throb. Oddly, the sensation was almost pleasant, and his head swam from something that wasn’t blood loss-and Sasuke licked some red, red blood from the corners of his mouth. “I’m a vampire.”
“Yeah, I got that,” Naruto snapped. His limbs felt heavy. “But get me some fucking gauze. I’m going to bleed out.”
⑦
Title: "Spokes"
Summary: They wronged her in life. And now, they'll come together. “Hinata was almost ethereal ... like a monarch trapped in its cage, like pinwheel spokes in a harsh breeze. She too fast - too fleeting - to keep." 5 people in Hinata's life remember her after her death.
Rating: PG-13
Pairing: Gen; character introspection
