Part two was even better. I loved the ending!

aishuu August 12 2009, 02:55:49 UTC

Thank you! (And the ending is why having a beta helps - chrysa told me the original sucked, and I needed to do something more - and she was right!)

A beta who will tell you when something sucks and stand by it is worth her weight in gold.

I loved it! It's been such a long time since I've seen a Saki-verse fic, and I was so excited when I saw this. Taking the situation from the POV of a therapist is very interesting, and I really liked how you used that to get inside the characters heads and reveal motivations they probably don't even know they have.

I am curious, what exactly was said in the rest of that conversation the thearapist caught the tail end of?

aishuu August 12 2009, 02:58:24 UTC

I was kind of wondering if there was still an audience for Saki-verse, but I loved the concept so much I decided to go ahead with it. I do like having an outsider dissect the neurosis of the different shinobi (sometimes with brilliant insight, and other time not even hitting the tree the target is pinned to).

As for that conversation, it's designed to be interpreted two different ways. The first is the PG explanation - that Ichiraku-sensei misunderstood, and they're talking about the jounin exam. The second is that Ichiraku-sensei's hentai thoughts were right. That's left up to the reader, though.

Thanks!

really good. i never realize that the shinobi would actually need a therapist and you just proved why there should really be one. thank you. :D

aishuu August 12 2009, 02:59:27 UTC

<3 Thank you (haven't seen you around lately... maybe because I'm not writing much!).

Yes, they're all crazy and some medication would help quite a bit.

dyoklako August 18 2009, 08:09:09 UTC

lol. medications does help..... some of the time. love and support from the ones who cares for you are better even if there is no mathematical formula for it (which that i know of or are aware of).

and you're welcome. ;)

just been too busy myself and there hasn't been enough time to really do some online reading (which i sorely miss).

i should go back and check out the other writings you did for some of the fandoms i have also been following lately. :)

I don't know too much about Naruto (other than the main characters and the little I've read), but I liked the concept and the shrink character. It was very interesting how she decided to accept the cross-dressing as a healthy outlet rather than trying to "change" or "fix" Sasuke.

aishuu August 12 2009, 03:00:49 UTC

Thank you - creating an OC is always kind of dicey, so it's nice to hear it works.

I think Ickiraku-sensei believes that crazy is relative, so coping with the crazy is a healthier method. Besides, a lot of psychological quirks start as coping methods, so as long as no one's being hurt, why try to fix it?
