Author has written 33 stories for Naruto, and Harry Potter.

Name: InosBane

I haven't forgotten about, nor have I given up on my stories. Life has gotten in the way and I lost two chapters I was working on to a dead laptop that can't be resurrected.
I am working on them again albeit slowly. Hope to have something up soon!*

Who am I:

I'm a So Cal transplant from South Carolina
-I do add Japanese words where I think they'll fit into my Naruto stories because it's a language and culture that I've been studying. Besides, these characters are indeed Japanese. At the suggestion of a friend I've been adding a glossary at the top of my stories in my A/N. Think of it as free language lessons. If you have a problem with that, then please don't read.

My Opinion:
I've noticed a real venomous style anger within the different fandoms towards certain writers because the writer has nixed the fandoms hopes for a particular pairing. Or the fanfic writers don't like where the canon is going...Have we forgotten why we write fanfiction to begin with?
The beauty of fanfiction is to fill in the gaps, provide answers to questions, put the characters we love (or loathe) in situations that the canon writer might not and see what they would do (AU stories), or pair up characters we love that the canon writer decided not to (the list could go on and on).
I change what I said, this is why I started writing fanfiction. I saw something between Shikamaru and Temari (my first story, and the majority of my stories since) and wanted to explore it, whether Kishimoto puts them together in canon is neither here nor there for me. I have, and my Narutoverse is just as important to me as the actual canon. Where I find plotlines to play with I will, when I'm inspired to create my own I will. I am a fan of the characters that Kishimoto and others have created. It is with the utmost respect and gratitude that I deem myself worthy to spin my tales around their personalities.

I like the following Anime/Manga and Characters:
-Naruto: Naruto, Shikamaru, Temari, Lee, Chouji, Yoshino, Gaara, Kankuro, Kiba, Hinata, Tenten, Jiraiya, Tsunade, Sakura
-Death Note: L...what's not to love about an insomniac genius with an insatiable sweet tooth?, Ryuk...cuddly in a weird way
-Samurai Champloo: Mugen, Mugen, Mugen...he makes getas look Goooooooood!
-Full Metal Alchemist: Al-I just want to bring him home and give him a hug, Ed, Nina (sob!), ARMSTRONG!!(I LOVE him!)
-Tegami Bachi-Niche...I LOVE HER!, Steak...the poor thing
-Bleach: Rukia, Renji, Ichigo, Zaraki, Hitsugaya
-Fruits Basket: Can't find a character I don't enjoy in this manga, even the fan club is funny.
-Ouran High School Host Club: Haruhi, Tamaki, Kasanoda(LOVE HIM!!), Mori
-Black Butler: Sebastian!!!!!!!!!
-Mushi-Shi: Probably the most beautiful anime I've ever seen!

Non Anime Stuff:
-Harry Potter
-Chickens
-History
-Rama Chan's Art
-Painting murals, taking pictures
-Politics
-Reading
-Gardening

Fave Character to Write: Nara Yoshino, she's mostly based on the mom of a childhood friend, with a little of my own mom thrown in.

Stories: I've typically got stuff spinning around in my head. Not necessarily the most popular pairings, but I think they're interesting. I DO accept requests.
"Twublesome", "The Best Laid Plans of Drunken Men", and "Foreshadowing" are all requests and were a lot of fun to write! I tend to post in spurts because every story gets written start to finish before I ever post it.

Pairings: So far as Naruto, which is what I typically write, the pairings I support whole-heartedly are: ShikaTema, KibaSaku, NaruHina, NejiTen, KankAya, and GaaKashike...Now Ino is an interesting character. I believe Chouji loves her more than anything, but I don't think she'll see that for quite some time. I do think that she and Lee could be great friends if given the opportunity. SaiIno? Nah...

I'll make you a promise:
I will NEVER post something that I don't enjoy myself, I take pride in what I write. If it doesn't pass my hand written test (yes, I write everything out by hand first), then it won't get submitted. If I can't picture it all clearly in my head as I'm writing, then it won't get written.

Special Thanks to the folks who've added my stories or me to their faves, I've said it before in a A/N, but I figured I needed to put it here, because really, I'm astounded. I am truly, truly honored!
