 ngochan 8/29/06 . chapter 1*lol* Cutie, hehe, Iruka is really feminine. Oh, but the idea Naruto named it Sexy really surprised me. I never thought he would be obsessed that much by his own jutsu.
Sasuke as always, "Why do we even need a dog?"... And Kakashi-chan? Muahahaha. |
 Akku-chan 1/13/06 . chapter 1I think if you would allow people who don't have a username to review, you would get more reviews. I had to sign on to review and usually I wouldn't bother if it was like that but I wanted to say a few things.
No, I'm not about to proclaim my undying love to your fic or anything like that. I am going to say a few suggestions. Of course, this is only my opinion so please don't call me names or think this is a flame (even though you except them, which impresses me since most new writers beg not to get them). I don't think you're a bad writer, but I do think you need some work.
One thing is, what is up with your style of writing? Look at the way everyone talks.
Sakura: Let's name it Sasuke!
Naruto: No! Sexy!
Sasuke: Let's leave it.
Well, that's not what you made them say but do you see my point? If you were going to make it a play, you should at least make it correctly. If not, why didn't you bother to take the time to make it properly?
Sakura exclaimed excitedly, "Let's name it Sasuke!"
"No!" Naruto argued. "Sexy!"
Sasuke said uncaringly, "Let's leave it."
See the difference? There is also the times when you need to add more detail. Did you notice how there are no paragraphs in your fic? Not even when they were talking. There are only one or two lines between dialogue and your dialogue outwieghs everything else.
Sakura: (anger marks) Naruto! You moron! What’s your problem? I oughta-
Anger mark? I know what you mean, but this looks strange. The whole format seems like it belongs in a play (which I already said, sorry for repeating myself) or in an outline for a manga. This sort of thing fits more into something that should be seen, not in something to read. I think you should have made it like this:
Sakura clenched her fist in anger and glared after the blond. "Naruto!" she yelled. "You moron! What's your problem? I oughta-"
Do you see how I replaced the "anger mark"? It still shows signs of anger but it also makes it look better. You need to add details.
Sakura: Because (anger mark) stupid Naruto slammed into me, and he didn’t even say sorry! Then he ran off to the training hall! Look at what he did! He made me squash this puppy!
I could correct this too, but I think you already get the point of what I said earlier. I put this here to show you where you needed details. After this statement, you could have put in this.
The pink haired konoichi thrust the puppy out to emphasize her point. The puppy dangled helplessly with only her hands for support. The puppy looked at Iruka innocently with confusion.
Well, that might have been stretching things but you get the idea, right?
Well, I think that's about it for your writing. Oh, I'm not finished yet. I still want to say a few things about your plot. Well...it wasn't overly amusing. I didn't really get the feeling of being involved with the story. I don't mean actually being in the fic, I mean I felt kind of detached, as if the characters weren't really themselves or weren't feeling real emotions.
It wasn't until the end that I was amused. It was the part when Kiba thought Iruka called him cutie. I'm not saying that you're not funny, I'm just saying that you're not funny to me. No offense. Different people have different tastes.
Um...That it for the plot. Huh. I think there would be more. Oh well. By the way, if you read any other fics, you would realize that everyone puts up disclaimers, just to be safe. You should do that too.
Um...I'm not sure how old you are, but im thinking pretty young. Not yet in high school, right? Usually when I decide to review, I check out the author's notes on his or her story and the profile page. By the way...you're a girl, right? Yeah, your name is a girl's name. Even if I didn't know your name, I couldn't imagine a boy being so...perky. And hyper. Um...maybe it's not such a good idea putting your name on the Internet for everyone to see.
Er...I think that's it. They are just things you should consider.
