 UchihaHyugaGlow 2007-07-06 . chapter 2I really like this, it's cute. hanabi isn't seen to much in the anime so i think that makes her good for fanfics, you can kinda make her personality good for your story without making it and out-of-character. anyways sorry for rambling update please... you could do another chapter on a higher lesson in love, like if hanabi gets a "crush" on somebody, just a thought |
 ritachi 2007-06-12 . chapter 2Definitely a sweet and endearing one-shot in this little anthology. It's easy to relate to, and simple and short enough just to get the point across without any excess fat. Overall, it was enjoyable. The last line (the lesson) really made an impact. If you didn't add it at the end, I would be "This chapter was good"; however, because of that last line, I just have to give it an awesome (god, I sound immature =P). But really, I thought it was well done and sweet. I mean, surely there are sisters who talk about stuff like that.
Also, at times, I could picture Hanabi talking to Hinata, but other times, it was hard to place. Probably because she's not featured much in the show and manga. But I thought the characterization of her was very well done. From her appearance, she seems to act and look a lot like her father unlike Hinata. ^-^
Oh, and don't worry. I liked how it sounded a lot like Hanabi too. The "seven-year-old" language fit the piece perfectly.
P.S. I'll just give generic lessons because I don't want to force you to write the story in a specific way.
1. A lesson in disappointment
2. A lesson in expectations/A lesson in one's role in life (in my head, the two sort of correspond, but they can be different)
3. A lesson in passiveness
4. A lesson in true strength and courage (I sort of want this one because in my head, it's about after the Chuunin pre-exams where Hinata is badly injured by Neji, and I just want to know how Hanabi would react to it)
5. A lesson in youth (something about how Hanabi doesn't quite act her age and how Hinata tells her that it's okay to indulge in one's selfish desires once in a while)
6. A lesson in family (blood is thicker than water-sort of thing)
That's it at the moment. Hope it helps you out. |
