I'm glad you're so ecstatic -- it makes me glad that I finally found the inspiration to write again (sometimes anger is a muse).
I had lots fun slipping into Naruto's head, and having him make things more complicated than they really are. Then again, though it might be entirely IC, I think that first time relationships are always a source of confusion and (needless?) anxiety. I really just wanted to write Naruto as a teenager, and I'm glad I made it work for you.
I'm not really sure about the pacing; I wrote this in very spontaneous sort of way, and think that some things might be jumbled, but maybe that makes it work? I've noticed the longer I dwell on form and pacing, the more unnecessary words I add. Additionally, my sentences become too long and Faulkeresque.
I really just wanted this to be a simple read, and I'm relieved it seems to have worked.
I hope I will be able to. I really missed writing.
I'm glad you think it's funny and cute. It's just what I wanted it to be. There's too much angst going on in the manga at the moment ... so I needed something where the boys are (remotely) happy.
Thank you, and this is enough in the form of comment.
I still owe you tons (since I've been reading lots and lots of your work recently, and it's all so amazingly funny and brilliant; I just seem to have difficultly in expressing what I exactly like about your work so much).
And I'm flattered I made your day.
PS: Do you mind if I friend you? I should have asked a long time ago.
haha. i think everyone else has eloquently covered how awesome you are. boo, i didn't get to comment as quickly as i thought i would. you totally did make my day; i was having a fantastically horrible one. for some reason.
:] you don't owe me squat. a lot of it is crap and i have no idea what exactly you like about it either. but i'd love to hear feedback from you one day and i'm intensely curious about which ones you like the most.
of course i don't mind! i think i hope you don't mind that i'm going to friend you both to my fandom & personal journals because i'd really like to get to know you?
Ah, we all go through horrible days. I've had a few horrible ones in succession. You know, I really don't think I deserve such awesome comments. It makes me feel awkwardly embarrassed at times because I really don't see anything awesome about me.
I really don't think your work is crap. For one, it makes me smile, and it's really different. I like the way your writing flows, and you have a real knack for making the characters seem real. I really have to write a more in-depth review... because you deserve it.
I hope you're not disappointed if you find this journal to be nearly completely free of personal entries. I think I only have one rant posted here. I usually don't write about my RL life because the entries would be totally random. Or mostly venting directed towards my studies, which occupy lots and lots of my time.
Oh man, I saw this on ff.net a couple of minutes ago (God bless my favorite C2 in the Naruto section) and honestly, this is the only Naruto fic I've managed to finish reading in... months. ...Which is why I wasn't that surprised when I checked my flist after and it was you. In a way, it's no different from their sparring, and yet in many way it is. That line made me smile, I like the things it implies ♥. I love the little details, like how they aren't different now and how Sasuke would be the death of him, because, really ♥.
/just. loves you /end review of the "user should be sleeping" kind
I'm hugely flattered by this review, and touched. I can understand being out of touch with fandom; I've had these moments on and off for the past few months. I've recently been feeling a bit better about fandom, but there were moment where I really did feel out of touch. I mostly blame RL and the whole uni stress on that.
I'm so glad that line made you smile. It's so nice if you can make people smile with your work; it really is. I think what honestly made me write this fic was thinking about what made me fall for Naruto and Sasuke in the first place. And it's mostly how their relationship is all about the small things.
Your writing never fails to make me very, very happy.
This is wonderful. You captured the characterization of both Naruto and Sasuke so effectively-- it takes some authors multiple chapters to even begin to do that. Well done!
I'm glad it makes you happy (and I'm flattered that you emphasised how happy it makes you!).
I'm even more glad that you think I captured them effectively. It's been quite a while I've written them just like this -- in a non-AU setting -- and I was worried I'd somehow 'lost my touch'. Yet, I really loved writing this; I feel slightly more comfortable writing one-shots than multi chaps to be honest. It a multi-chap it's much easier to lose yourself in OOCness, if you don't plan the story well enough.
