Author has written 19 stories for Howl's Moving Castle, and Naruto. KakaSaku Fan Club's Shakespeare contest: My story is based on All's Well that Ends Well, one of Shakespeare's lesser known plays. I had a great time working on it, as it was quite a challenge to rework Helena and Bertram as Sakura and Kakashi. Voting begins March 2 on the LJ kakasaku page: http://community.livejournal.com/kakasaku/ As fanfiction.net is having some technical problems, not all of the entries are posted yet, so voting may open a little late on the 2nd. I'll post a list of all the fics once it is available! I've already read a couple, and they are great. Thanks to moderndayportia for such a great contest idea! UFO nomination: I owe a huge thank you and a big hug to whomever it was who nominated "A Book of Five Rings" for a Universal Fanfiction Open Award! Wow! You have no idea how happy you have made me! There are only 8 fics nominated in the Naruto category, and only two of those are kakasaku fics, so I feel really honored. If you'd like to vote, you can between March 1 and April 30 at this site: http://www.dotmoon.net/awards/awards_vote.php About me: Not much to say, except that I love all things Japanese in general, and manga and anime in particular. That probably describes about half of the people that frequent this site, however, so I'm just one in the crowd. That's fine with me. After dealing with a couple of obnoxious flamers, I'd rather keep most of the personal details to myself. Certainly there are some things I will share: I am older than you, probabilistically speaking. I have one son and one husband, several cats and a dog. I am very shy in real life, although I am an accomplished public speaker. I wish I had studied writing in college. Like Kakashi, I have many hobbies. If there is such a thing as reincarnation (and if anyone is taking orders), I would like to come back as a feudal-era Japanese princess. Or maybe a floating world era maiko. Or a kunoichi. Or a Claymore. In any case, I would like to carry the knowledge of indoor plumbing back with me, as this is the one modern convenience I cannot live without. Dream big, I always say. My writing is fifty percent for you, and fifty percent for me. I post here because I'm trying to improve, and because your reviews encourage me to keep at it. In return, I hope I'm connecting with people who love KakaSaku and Miyazaki, and bringing you some enjoyment. Thank you to anyone who takes the time to leave a review-- positive or negative-- especially those of you who point out things that could help me improve. I truly appreciate it. Even "Update soon!" makes me smile. It's nice not to know that I'm not writing in isolation. Link to my live journal page. Newest Story: Friends with Benefits My fourth Valentine's Fic. I can't seem to help writing these, as V-Day is my birthday. This story is for my good friend sayurinomoe. Italian Translation: My good friend sayurinomoe has kindly offered to translate a few of my stories into Italian. I can't believe how generous you are! About my pen name: I chose Sakuraharu as my pen name a while before I started reading Naruto. I meant for it to read, "sakura of the spring," but given my limited knowledge of Japanese at the time, it came out kind of bastardized. Also, I was on pain killers at the time. I probably should have changed my pen name to something more clever and less fan-girly when I started writing Kakasaku stories. I think it's probably too late, now: I don't want to be accused of plagiarizing myself. Oh, well. I plead stupidity. About Year in the Life: I have not abandoned this, though it is on hiatus. I am hoping to start on it again eventually. About Mizuage and To Sensei, With Love: I am taking turns writing these chapters, as I get depressed with each chapter of Mizuage and need something to lighten my spirits. KakaSaku Fan Club's Shakespeare contest: Entries will be posted March 1. My story is based on All's Well that Ends Well, one of Shakespeare's lesser known plays. I am inspired, and having a lot of fun working on it. KakaSaku Fan Club's "Classy" Fan Art contest: A while back, the KakaSaku Fan Club (over on the NarutoFan forums) organized a fan art contest for the artists among us. The challenge was to take an existing piece of classical art and transform it into a KakaSaku themed piece. My friend Modernday Portia organized the whole thing (apparently she does not need sleep!) and the contest was a brilliant success. You can see the contest entries and the original paintings upon which they were based here: http://forums.narutofan.com/showthread.php?t=500093&page=3 The winner of the contest was Leona 101. Her painting was a transformation of Edmund Blair Leighton's famous "Alain Chatier," and it is amazing. As a prize for first place, I've written a piece to go with this painting, to serve as its backstory: Seijin no Hi. (Coming of Age) I hope it lives up to Leona's work! Fan Art: Thank you to sayurinomoe and eldr-fire who have drawn several fanarts related to BOFR. In these, Tsuki is much cuter than I imagined! I am blown away that you think enough of the story to illustrate it. Tsuki and Susuwatari Go Rin No Sho Kendo Girl Bath Hot Springs Expressions Father and Son Generations of Hatake Thank you to sayurinomoe for drawing even more amazing art, these for Fourteen Dates: Fourteen Dates Study 1 Fourteen Dates Study 2 Fourteen Dates Study 3 Fourteen Dates Study 4 Fourteen Dates Ch 44 Fourteen Dates (wedding) And these for BOFR. You overwhelm me! I wish I had a sliver of your drawing talent. Sakura Study Simply Tsuki And sayurinomoe has created a kakasaku doujin, based on a chapter from BOFR. God, I love it! illness Here is the link to the first page. You can click on it to see the rest. Also sayurinomoe is working on an original kakasaku doujin that I hope will be posted soon. I have seen some of the drawings and they are amazing. Go MOE! TSWL: Yanny88 has created a drawing of Kakashi-sensei on his Kawasaki Ninja motorcycle from To Sensei, with Love. Damn, I wish I owned one of those bikes! You drew him just the way I imagined. Thank you for the beautiful art! Hatake-Sensei Commissions: The talented kimeko-28 has created a couple of amazing drawings for BOFR and Kaidan. I am so pleased with these! Kakashi and Tsuki Kaidan | |||||||
