6/5/13 - Real life influence of my current show list Naruto canon finally looking interesting again = I try to write... a little, anyway. Hope y'all enjoy.


NAQ (Never Asked Questions)

- i: Why do I keep writing fanfic with Inuzuka Hana in it? Because there's hardly anything on her in canon, I like the given parameters for her character, and there are a limited number of strong female characters in series canon; only Tsunade, Temari, and Kushina fall under that heading. There's a huge fanbase arguing in favor of Sakura, but to date, any convincingly admirable depiction of her that I've ever come across has been limited to the fandom. /Edit: But perhaps there is hope for Sakura as Kishimoto is wising up at last. Ish.

- ii: (Or sort of implied by an anonymous/account-less reviewer) On the "He was Captain" series - The only "rules" are that 1) Itachi is or was ANBU captain in each at an age greater than thirteen. 2) Each scenario is a separate alternate universe, independent of any of the other scenarios; even the way characters behave may vary wildly. Hopefully each (unless it happens to be utter crack) will still be believable/within a range that's not too jarringly OOC. 3) No one said Itachi can't be ANBU captain even in a world where the Uchiha massacre happened. How will I accomplish this/attempt to accomplish this and fail miserably (maybe)? Stay tuned. :D Until then, please enjoy!

- iii: My favorite character in Naruto is actually Hyuuga Neji.


The Turkey City Lexicon (or this variation found at http://fritzfreiheit.com/wiki/SF_critique_lexicon) has been very helpful to me, so if you are curious, try consulting it as well. It points out common foibles in a humorous way (even if you, like me, don't really write Scifi).
