A little bit about me:
Freshman at Santa Clara University in California
I love trading card games! I play Magic: the Gathering and Naruto CCG competitively, and a bunch of old games casually.
Ever since I discovered Naruto CCG, I've been a complete Narutard. I'm a rarity in that I actually got into the card game before the anime/manga. -_-
Favorite Pairings to Read/Write About: ShikaTem ShikaSaku
Other Pairings I Like: ShikaIno, NaruSaku
I write pretty much anything, but I've been sticking to fluffy oneshots lately. I tend to only write oneshots, as I am pretty bad at actually developing a plot - I instead prefer to write for the moment. However, I am considering combining a bunch of my unpublished ShikaSaku fluffs into a collection, since they do work so well together.
A short comment on ShikaSaku: Yes, it is a "crack" pairing (but not so "crack" as some others!). But even though it is, I will continue to adore it, since the two characters fit so well together in my opinion. The potential awkwardness of the relationship is great writing material, as they are the two most intelligent young shinobi in Konoha, but maybe aren't so gifted in matters of the heart. Also, I have a feeling Sakura would be the kind of girl that Shikamaru would be into - she's caring and not too troublesome.
My favorite fanfiction is A Little Harmony by antagonistic. It was the first non-humor Naruto FF I ever read and what got me started down the "ShikaTema true wub!" path. I still have yet to find a fanfiction that can match the emotion and story of A Little Harmony. Even after reading it at least ten times, I still find it engaging, touching, and an amazing read.
