NOTE TO ALL NARUTO FANFICTION WRITERS!! PLEASE READ!! ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE MOSTLY UNFAMILIAR WITH JAPANESE TERMS!!
On a quick note the reason why I am addressing this to the Naruto fanfiction section is because this is where I am seeing the mistake occur repeatedly.
Over my experience of reading the fanfiction I have noticed a common error among the spelling of two particular words in the Japanese language. It does not occur with everyone but I have seen it enough times now that I feel I should say something.
The two words are nee-san and nii-san. Usually the two are flipped. Nee-san is a term used for an older SISTER. Nii-san is the termed used for an older BROTHER!
Now I can understand the misspelling of "nii-san" as "nee-san" since the english "e" is basically the same sound the Japanese "i". What mystifies is the nee-san mispelling since the Japanese pronounce their "e"'s like the English "a" (Just as a side note the Japanese "a" is pronounce like "ah").
If you want a bigger confirmation go watch some of the episodes if you listen you can here the pronuctiation of the words.
On a quick note I am not saying that it is just beginners who are doing this, I have seen some rather well written ones that have made this mistake.
Here is a description of me:
Nicknames: Star, Star-chan, Saturn
Birthday: September 2nd.
Hair Color: Brownish-blond
Eye Color: Pearl Blue
Attitude: Beleive or not I am mostly the quite type unless I have been in one place long enough. Then I will start blabbing my mouth off.
Favorite Sport: Horseback Riding.
Favorite Food: Chinese
Least Favorite Food: Pizza and Cheese (sees weird look she is getting what so I have a peculiar appetite? Get over it!)
Currently lives in:Alabama State.
Current School: New Century Technology High School (NCTHS)
Favorite Anime:Full Metal Alchemist(subject to change, look below for a complete list of all animes I like)
2nd Favorite Anime: Sailor Moon.
Favorite Books/Serieses : Harry Potter, 1-800-Where-R-You (I seriously think fanfiction should have a section devoted to this series it is so good!) Chiken Soup books, All American Girl, Princess Diaries (yes I am a fan of Meg Cabot), Artemis Fowl (my newest obsession I am still reading the third book)
Animes I like to watch: Yu-Gi-Oh, Sailor Moon, Digimon, .hack//Legend of the Twilight Bracelet (I want to see .hack//Sign but since they aren't showing it on Cartoon Network right now, I need to save up money for the box set, and I all ready spent part of it on .hack//Infection), D.N. Angel, Shaman King, Ragnarok, Yu Yu Hakusho (not big on it but its still pretty good), and some others I can't think of right now.
Games I like to play: Tales of Symphonia, the .hack series, Kingdom Hearts, Harvest Moon, Pokemon (though not as much as I used to), Tetris (amazing how so much time can pass while playing one game, not even realizing it), and some other I can't think of right now.
Okay enough me about here are my muses:
Akila: Short-tempered Egyptian with an attitude. I was originally going to use her as Malik's cousin in a story I was writing but I abandonned the idea before it ever got to the iternet. I liked her for some odd reason and decided to keep her as a muse.She has a Millenium item known as the Millennium Bracelet that allows her to move almost anything. She has a tendency to appear in almost all my author notes and out of all my muses makes the most appearances in reviews. She acts very much like a conscious.
Zahra: Akila's Yami. Oddly enoughshe is a lot more friendlier than her Hikari though it didn't start out that way. She appears in my author's notes and VERY rarely appears in my reviews, usually when Akila and I can't agree on something about the storyline.
Anyway on to the next subject: Fanfic Status:
A Glimpse Into the Past: The only fic I have ever finished! Due to request from reviewers I am working on a sequel whichI am calling "Return of the Parents" though the title might change. The sequel probably won't be up for a few days thoughif I do finish it today.I want some more responses for A Glimpe Into the Past before I post the sequel.
Sailor Moon Yu-Gi-Oh Crossover: Looking for better title. This might be going on to tempoary hold status after a while so I can work on another fanfic I am coauthoring with a friend. But it is not on tempoary hold status now I am just being VERY lazy.
Her Past: Still taking votes for poll so hurry up and submit your votes before it is too late!
Sailor Moon X-Men Evolution:First chapter is getting close to be done but might not be taken off of hold status since I have other things to think about and . Including the non-posted fanfic mentioned above and the above two fanfics.
Untitled: Looking for something to call this. This is my first HP fic so any advice from experienced HP writers is welcome even if it degrading. Second chapter is almost done.
Other Fanfics: On hold status. THEY will go on eventually I just need to find the time to work on them. Including the non-posted fanfic mentioned above and the above two fanfics.

Harry Potter Quotes
"Oh, are you a prefect Percy? You should have said something, we had no idea." "Hang on I think I remember him saying something about it, once..." "Or twice–" "A minute–" "All summer–" -The Weasley twins
"We tried to shut him in a pyramid, but Mum spotted us." –George Weasley
"Yeah, I've seen those things they think are gnomes," said Ron, bent double with his head in a peony bush, "like fat little Santa Clauses with fishing rods." –Ron
udley looked alot like Uncle Vernon. He had a large pink face, not much neck, small watery blue eyes, and thick blonde hair that lay smoothly on his thick, fat head. Aunt Petunia often said that Dudley looked like a baby angel. Harry often said that Dudley looked like a pig in a wig.
"I tell you, that dragon is the most horrible creature I've ever met, but the way Hagrid goes about it you'd think it was a fluffy little bunny rabbit. When it bit me, he told me off for frightening it. And when I left he was singing it a lullaby." –Ron
"I believe misters Fred and George Weasley were responsible for trying to send you a toilet seat." –Dumbledore
"We had to write about our hero at school Mr. Mason; I wrote about you." -Dudley
Fred and George, however, found all this very funny. They went out of their way to march ahead of Harry down the corridors, shouting, "Make way for the Heir of Slytherin, seriously evil wizard coming through..."
Percy had what were possibly the least helpful words of comfort. "They make a fuss about Hogsmeade, but I assure you, Harry, it's not all it's cracked up to be," he said seriously. "All right, the sweetshop's rather good, and Zonko's Joke Shop's frankly dangerous, and yes, the Shrieking Shack alway's worth a visit, but really, Harry, apart from that, you're not missing anything."
"Mr. Moony presents his compliments to Professor Snape, and begs him to keep his abnormally large nose out of other people's business." "Mr. Prongs agrees with Mr. Moony, and would like to add that Professor Snape is an ugly git." "Mr. Padfoot would like to register his astonishment that an idiot like that ever became a professor." -The Marauder's Map
"Yeah, someone might slip dragon dung in it again, eh, Perce?" said Fred. "That was a sample of fertilizer from Norway!" said Percy, going very red in the face. "It was nothing personal!" "It was," Fred whispered to Harry as they got up from the table. "We sent it."
"I was saying that Saturn was surely in a position of power in the heavens at the moment of your birth...your dark hair...your mean stature...tragic losses so young in life...I think I am right in saying, my dear, that you were born in midwinter?" "No," said Harry, "I was born in July." Ron hastily turned his laugh into a hacking cough.
"I want to fix that in my memory forever," said Ron, his closed and an uplifted expression on his face.
"Draco Malfoy, the amazing bouncing ferret..."
"Don't be prat, Neville, that's illegal," said George. "They wouldn't use the Cruciatus Curse on the champions. I thought it sounded a bit like Percy singing... maybe you've got to attack him while he's in the shower, Harry."
"You seem to be drowning twice," said Hermione. "Oh, am I?" said Ron peering down at his predictions. "I'd better change one of them to getting trampled by a rampaging Hippogriff." "Don't you think it's a bit obvious you've made these up?" said Hermione "How dare you!" said Ron in mock outrage. "We've been working like house elves here!"
"Aaaah," said Ron, imitating Professor Trelawney's mystical whisper, "when two Neptunes appear in the sky, it is a sure sign that a midget in glasses is being born."
"Don't tell your mother you've been gambling," Mr. Weasley implored Fred and George as they all made their way slowly down the purple-carpeted stairs. "Don't worry, Dad," said Fred gleefully, "we've got big plans for this money. We don't want it confiscated." Mr. Weasley looked for a moment as though he was going to ask what these big plans were, but seemed to decide, upon reflection, that he didn't want to know.
"Enjoying it?" said Ron darkly. "I don't reckon he'd come home if Dad didn't make him. He's obsessed. Just don't get him onto the subject of his boss. According to Mr. Crouch...as I was saying to Mr Crouch...Mr. Crouch is of the opinion...Mr. Crouch was telling me...They'll be announcing their engagement any day now."
Dudley had done the thing he was threatening to to do since age three: He had become wider than he was tall.
"Sure you can manage that broom, Potter?" said a cold, drawling voice. Draco Malfoy had arrived for a closer look, Crabbe and Goyle right behind him. "Yeah, reckon so," said Harry casually. "Got plenty of special features, hasn't it? said Malfoy, eyes glittering maliciously. "Shame it doesn't come with a parachute–in case you get too near a Dementor." Crabbe and Goyle sniggered. "Pity you can't attach an extra arm to yours, Malfoy," said Harry. "Then it could catch the Snitch for you."
"Well...when we were in our first year, Harry–young, carefree, and innocent–" Harry snorted. He doubted whether Fred and George had ever been innocent.
"Bad news, Harry. I've just been to see Professor McGonagall about the Firebolt. She – er got a bit shirty with me. Told me I'd got my priorities wrong. Seemed to think I cared more about winning the Cup than I do about staying alive. Just because I told her I didn't care if it threw you off, as long as you caught the Snitch first." –Oliver Wood
"How're we getting to King's Cross tomorrow, Dad?" asked Fred as they dug into a sumptuous pudding. "The Ministry's providing a couple of cars," said Mr. Weasley. Everyone looked up at him. "Why?" said Percy curiously. "It's because of you, Perce," said George seriously. "And there'll be little flags on the hoods, with HB on them–" "–for Humongous Bighead," said Fred.
(Harry, just being greeted by Percy) "Harry!" said Fred, elbowing Percy out of the way and bowing deeply. "Simply splendid to see you, old boy–" "Marvelous," said George, pushing Fred aside and seizing Harry's hand in turn. "Absolutely spiffing." Percy scowled. "That's enough, now," said Mrs. Weasley. "Mum!" said Fred as though he'd only just spotted her and seized her hand too. "How really corking to see you-"
Everybody finished the song at different times. At last, only the Weasley twins were left singing along to a very slow funeral march.
"Welcome!" he said. "Welcome to a new year at Hogwarts! Before we begin our banquet, I would like to say a few words, and here they are: Nitwit! Blubber! Oddment! Tweak!"
"Thank you!" "Wild! I can make that old bloke down there pick his nose again...and again...and again..." –Ron
Trelawney: "Would anyone like me to help interpet the shadowy realms within their orb?" Ron: "I don't need help, it's obvious what this means: there's going to be loads of fog tonight."
Trelawney: "The fates have informed me that your examination in June will concern the orb, and I am anxious to give you sufficient practice." Hermione: "Well honestly..."the fates have informed her"...who sets date of the exam? She does! What an amazing prediction!"
"Percy wouldn't recognize a joke if it danced naked in front of him wearing Dobby's tea cozy." –Ron
"Viktor? Hasn't he asked you to call him Vicky yet?" –Ron
"I don't know who Maxime thinks she's kidding. If Hagrid's a half-giant, she definitely is. Big bones...the only thing that's got bigger bones than her is a dinosaur." –Harry
"Half an inch of skin and sinew holding my neck on, Harry! Most people would think that's good as beheaded, but oh, no, it's not enough for Sir Properly Decapitated-Podmore." –Nearly Headless Nick
"Azkaban – the wizard prison, Goyle," said Malfoy, looking at him in disbelief. "Honestly, if you were any slower, you'd be going backward." –Draco
Shouldn'ta lost me temper, but it didn't work anyway. Meant ter turn him into a pig, but I s'pose he was so much like a pig anyway that there wasn't much left ter do." –Hagrid "
I hope you're pleased with yourselves. We could have been killed – or worse, expelled!" –Hermione
He therefore had to endure over an hour of Professor Trelawny, who spent half the lesson telling everyone that the position of Mars with relation to Saturn at that moment meant that people born in July were in great danger of sudden, violent deaths. "Well, that's good," said Harry loudly, his temper getting the better of him, "just as long as it's not drawn out. I don't want to suffer."
Lee Jordan was finding it difficult not to take sides. "So–after that obvious and disgusting bit of cheating–" "Jordan!" growled Professor McGonagall. "I mean, after that open and revolting foul–" "Jordan, I'm warning you–" "All right, all right. Flint nearly kills the Gryffindor Seeker, which could happen to anyone, I'm sure..."
"Professor Kettleburn, our Care of Magical Creatures teacher, retired at the end of last year in order to enjoy more time with his remaining limbs." –Dumbledore
Ron: "Who're you going with then?" Fred: "Angelina." Ron: "What? You've already asked her?" Fred: "Good point. Oi, Angelina! Want to come to the ball with me?"
"Twitchy little ferret, aren't you Malfoy?" –Hermione
Ron: "I could've taken those mer-idiots any time I wanted." Hermione: "What were you going to do, snore at them?"
Hermione: "Harry, I've been thinking – you know what we've got to do, don't you? Straight away, the moment we get back to the castle?" Harry: "Yeah, give Ron a good kick up the–" Hermione: "Write to Sirius."
Furious, Harry threw his ingredients and his bag into his cauldron and dragged it up to the front of the dungeon to the empty table. Snape followed, sat down at his desk and watched Harry unload his cauldron. Determined not to look at Snape, Harry resumed the mashing of his scarab beetles, imagining each one to have Snape's face.
"He sounds exactly like Moody," said Harry quietly, tucking the letter away again inside his robes. "'Constant vigilance!' You'd think I walk around with my eyes shut, banging off the walls..."
A week after Fred and George's departure, Harry witnessed Professor McGonagall walking right past Peeves, who was determinedly loosening a crystal chandelier, and could have sworn he heard her tell the poltergeist out of the corner of her mouth, "It unscrews the other way."
"Well, we were always going to fail that one," said Ron gloomily as they ascended the marble staircase. He had just made Harry feel rather better by telling him how he told the examiner in detail about the ugly man with a wart on his nose in the crystal ball, only to look up an realize he had been describing the examiner's reflection.
"How long have you been 'Big D' then?" said Harry. "Shut it," snarled Dudley, turning away again. "Cool name," said Harry, grinning, "But you'll always be Ickle Diddykins to me." "Shut your face." "You don't tell her to shut her face. What about 'popkin' and 'Dinky Diddydums,' can I use them then?"
"You don't want to bottle your anger up like that, Harry, let it all out," said Fred, beaming. "There might be a couple people 50 miles away who didn't hear you."
"Who's Kreacher?" "The house-elf who lives here," said Ron. "Nutter. Never met one like him." "He is not a nutter," said Hermione. "His life's ambition is to have his head cut off and stuck up on a plaque like his mother," said Ron. "Is that normal, Hermione?"
(After Lupin goes through a list of all the things they've done to discredit Dumbledore) "But Dumbledore says he doesn't care what they do as long as they don't take him off the Chocolate Frog Cards," said Bill, grinning.
"Well, I had one that I was playing Quidditch the other night," said Ron, screwing up his face in an effort to remember. "What do you think that means?" "Probably that you're going to be eaten by a giant marshmallow or something," said Harry, turning the pages of The Dream Oracle without interest.
"Er – thanks very much, Ernie," said Harry, taken aback. Ernie might be pompous on occaisons like these, but Harry was in a mood to deeply appreciate a vote of confidence from somebody who was not wearing radishes in their ears.
"The hats have gone," Hermione said happily. "Seems the house-elves do want freedom after all." "I wouldn't be on it," Ron told her cuttingly. "They might not count as clothes. They didn't look anything like hats to me, more like woolly bladders."
"Harry, don't go picking a row with Malfoy, don't forget, he's a prefect now, he could make life difficult for you..." "Wow, I wonder what it'd be like to have a difficult life?" said Harry sarcastically.
"Are you trying to weasel out of showing us any of this stuff?" said Zacharias Smith. "Here's an idea," said Ron loudly, "why don't you shut your mouth?" "Well, we've all turned up to learn from him, and now he's telling us he can't really do any of it," he said. "That's not what he said," said Fred Weasley. "Would you like us to clean out your ears for you?" inquired George, pulling a long and lethal-looking metal instrument from inside one of the Zonko's bags. "Or any part of your body, really, we're not fussy where we stick this," said Fred.
"We're not doing anything new?" said Zacharias Smith, in a disgruntled whisper loud enough to carry through the room. "If I'd known that, I wouldn't have come..." "We're all really sorry Harry didn't tell you, then," said Fred loudly.
"Mistletoe," said Luna dreamily, pointing at a large clumb of white berries placed over Harry's head. He jumped out from under it. "Good thinking," said Luna seriously. "It's often infested with nargles."
A slightly stunned silence greeted the end of this speech, then Ron said, "One person can't feel all that at once, they'd explode." "Just because you've got the emotional range of a teaspoon doesn't mean we all have," said Hermione.
"I'll look for him later, I expect I'll find him upstairs crying his eyes out over my mother's old bloomers or something...Of course, he might have crawled up into the airing cupboard and died...But I mustn't get my hopes up..." –Sirius
Rita stared at her. So did Harry. Luna, on the other hand, sang "Weasley is our King" dreamily under her breath and stirred her drink with a cocktail onion on a stick.
As they climed the staircase, the photos of various Healers called out to them, diagnosing odd complaints and suggesting horrible remedies. Ron was seriously affronted when a medieval wizard called out that he clearly had a bad case of spattergroit. "And what's that supposed to be?" he asked angrily, as the Healer pursued him through six more portraits, shoving the occupants out of the way. "'Tis a most grievous affliction of the skin, young master, that will leave you pockmarked and more gruesome even than you are now–" "Watch who you're calling gruesome!" said Ron, his ears turning red. "The only remedy is to take the liver of a toad, bind it tight about your throat, stand naked by the full moon in a barrel of eels' eyes–" "I have not got spattergroit!" "But the unsightly blemishes on your visage, young master–" "They're freckles!" said Ron furiously. "Now get back in your own picture and leave me alone!" He rounded on the others, who were all keeping determinedly straight faces.
"Yeah, Montague tried to do us during break," said George. "What do you mean, 'tried'?" said Ron quickly. "He never managed to get all the words out," said Fred, "due to the fact that we forced him headfirst into that Vanishing Cabinet on the first floor." Hermione looked very shocked. "But you'll get into terrible trouble!" "Not until Montague reappears, and that could take weeks, I dunno where we sent him," said Fred coolly. "Anyway, we've decided that we don't care about getting into trouble anymore." "Have you ever?" asked Hermione. "'Course we have," said George. "Never been expelled, have we?" "We might have put a toe across occaisonally," said George. "But we've always stopped short of causing real mayhem," said Fred. "But now?" said Ron tentatively. "–what with Dumbledore gone–" said Fred. "–we reckon a bit of mayhem–" said George. "–is exactly what our dear new Head deserves," said Fred.
"Cheers," whispered George, wiping tears of laughter from his face. "Oh, I hope she tries Vanishing them next...they multiply by ten every time you try..." The fireworks continued to burn and spread all over the school that afternoon. Though they caused plenty of disruption, the other teachers did not seem to mind them very much. "Dear, dear," said Professor McGonagall sardonically, as one of the dragons soared around her classroom, emitting loud bangs and exhalting flame. "Miss Brown, would you mind running along to the headmistress and informing her that we have an escaped firework in our classroom?" "Thank you so much, Professor!" said Professor Flitwick in his squeaky little voice. "I could have got rid of the sparklers myself, of course, but I wasn't sure whether I had the authority..." Beaming he closed the door on Umbridge's snarling face.
"You two," she went on, gazing down at Fred and George, "are about to learn what happens to wrongdoers in my school." "You know what?" said Fred. "I don't think we are." He turned to his twin. "George," said Fred, "I think we've outgrown a full-time education." "Yeah, I've been feeling that way myself," said George lightly. "Time to test our talents in the real world, d'you reckon?" asked Fred. "Definitely," said George. And before Umbridge could say a word, they raised their wants and said together, "Accio Brooms!" Harry heard a loud crash somewhere in the distance. Looking to his left he ducked just in time Fred and George's broomsticks, one still trailing the heavy chain and iron peg with which Umbridge had fastened them to the wall, were hurtling along the corridor toward their owners. They turned left, streaked down the stairs, and stopped sharply in front of the twins, the chain clattering loudly on the flagged stone floor. "We won't be seeing you," Fred told Professor Umbridge, swinging his leg over his broomstick. "Yeah, don't bother to keep in touch," said George, mounting his own. Fred looked around at the assembled students, and at the silent, watchful crowd. "If anybody fancies buying a Portable Swamp, as demonstrated upstairs, come to number ninety-three Diagon Alley – Weasley's Wizard Wheezes," he said in a loud voice. "Our new premesis!" "Special discounts to Hogwarts students who swear they're going to use our products to get rid of this old bat," said George, pointing at Professor Umbridge. "STOP THEM!" shrieked Umbridge, but it was too late. As the Inquisitorial Squad closed in, Fred and George kicked off from the floor, shooting fifteen feet into the air, the iron peg swinging dangerously below. Fred looked across the hall at the poltergeist bobbing on his level above the crowd. "Give her hell from us, Peeves." "And Peeves, whom Harry had never seen take an order from a student before, swept his belled hat from his head and sprang to a salute as Fred and George wheeled about to tumultuous applause from the students below and sped out of the open front doors into the glorious sunset.
By the time Ernie MacMillan, Hannah Abbott, Susan Bones, Justin Finch-Fletchley, Anthony Goldstein, and Terry Boot had finished using a wide variety of the hexes and jinxes Harry had taught them, Malfoy, Crabbe, and Goyle resembled nothing so much as three gigantic slugs squeezed into Hogwarts uniforms as Harry, Ernie and Justin hoisted them into the luggage rack and left them there to ooze. "I must say, I'm looking forward to seeing Malfoy's mother's face when he gets off the train," said Ernie with satisfaction. "Goyle's mum'll be really pleased, though," said Ron. "He's loads better looking now."
"And do I look like the kind of man that can be intimidated?" barked Uncle Vernon. "Well..." said Moody, pushing back his bowler hat to reveal his sinisterly revolving eye. Uncle Vernon lept backward in horror and collided painfully with a luggage trolley. "Yes, I'd have to say you do, Dursley."
"S'up Figgy?" –Mundungus
"Didn't you listen to Dolores Umbridge's speech at the start-of-term feast, Potter?" "Yeah," said Harry. "Yeah...she said...progress will be prohibited or...well, it meant that...that the Ministry of Magic is trying to interfere at Hogwarts." "Well, I'm glad you listen to Hermione Granger at any rate."
"Has Ron saved a goal yet?" asked Hermione. "Well, he can do it if he thinks no one is watching him," said Fred, rolling his eyes. "So all we have to do is ask the crowd to turn their backs and talk among themselves every time the Quaffle goes up on his end Saturday."

"Hey, look - Harry's got a Weasley sweater, too!" Fred and George were wearing blue sweaters, one with a large yellow 'F' on it, the other a 'G'. "Harry's is better than ours, though," said Fred, holding up Harry's sweater. "She obviously makes more of an effort if you're not family." "Why aren't you wearing yours, Ron?" George demanded. "Come on, get it on, they're lovely and warm." "I hate maroon," Ron moaned halfheartedly as he pulled it over his head. "You haven't got a letter on yours," George observed. "I suppose she thinks you don't forget your name. But we're not stupid - we know we're called Gred and Forge."
"We'll send you a Hogwarts toilet seat!" -George
"Hello Harry," said George, beaming at him. "We thought we heard your dulcet tones."
