Frequently Asked Questions - Some of the same recurring questions keep coming up in my reviews, so I'm answering them here.

Q: Will you read my story?
A: No promises. I'd like to, but I don't always have the time--now that I'm done Blind, I'm turning my attention to school more than before. The most concrete answer you'll get is: maybe.

Q: When do you update?
A: I update every Wednesday.

Q: In Blind, how old are Sasuke, Sakura and Naruto?
A: Naruto and Sasuke start out at sixteen, Sakura is seventeen. (Apparently, they count different in Japan, so this is subject to change.)

Q: How long is Blind going to be?
A: Blind is seventy-two chapters long, with a bonus chapter of extras. (Extras is still under construction.) To find out how many chapters you have left to go. Take seventy-three and minus the number of posted chapters.

Q: When are you going to be done?
A: I finished Blind on March 16 2009. And will continue updating until I've posted the remaining chapters.

Q: You have lots of chapters written but haven't posted them yet. Why?
A: I like to get people's thoughts and ideas. Sometimes I have whacked out spelling mistakes that a group effort usually finds. Now that I'm done I'm not going to be changing anything major, unless someone finds a plot hole.

Q: Why can't you update sooner?
A: Because I don't want to? I usually get a whole spam dump of reviews for each chapter on Wednesday and Thursdays after I post. Imagine what it would be like if I updated every second day. Or every day. I swear I'd freeze up my hotmail account. It'd probably be something similar to this: (You have 584.23 unread emails in your inbox.)

Q: Lemon? Plz?
A: No.

Q: Are you going to pair Itachi and Nariko together?
A: Good gods, NO! The relationship between them is strictly of the sibling sort. Where are you guys pulling this from? I don't recall EVER writing anything that sounded vaguely romantic between Nariko and Itachi. And seeing as Itachi is blatantly sleeping with Konan, this quesiton really confuses me. If anything, I thought the side pairing of ItaKonan would be pretty damn obvious.

Information for Blind: A reviewer asked me to re-outline the arcs that I had planned out for the story, so I did. But I thought it only fair that I put it here too for all to see. The information will change as I progress through the arcs, so you'll be able to see what's in-progress and what's written pretty much in stone.

Hospital Arc (1) - Covers the introductions of the scenerio, hospital healing love, much. :3 (Chapters 1 - 11)

Training Arc (2) - Divided into two parts : 1) Sasuke becoming accustomed to his blindness 2) Sasuke thinking and working with the idea of his chakra senses. (Chapters 12 - 26)

Mission Arc (3) - In a nutshell: the portion since they left Konoha to when they returned. (Chapters 27 - 37)

Pre-Chuunin Exam Arc (4) - Sakura's family issues and getting that dealt with. Nariko getting hit with reality like a ton of bricks. Also includes some training, birthday parties, Graduation, and New Year's Festival. Kanpai! (Chapters 38 - 49)

Actual Chuunin Exam Arc (5) - Covers all Chuunin Exam events. From Written Test to the departing of participants. (Chapters 50 - 60)

Revenge Arc (6) - Epic plot twists with both angsty and happy endings at the same time. (61- 71)

Epilogue and Extras (7?) - An epilogue with an ending that will suggest a sequel. Extras includes bloopers, deleted scenes and segments, explanation of symbolism, etc. (72 & 73 respectively)

Things I don't tend to read, but will makes exceptions to: Highschool fics, OC-centric fics, vampire fics, tragedy (angst good, tragedy bad), long-winded stories that are purely random, song fics. I also don't tend to read fanfics that are made from books, movies, and TV shows--mostly because I find it hard to visualize.

I don't tend to read crack pairings, ie. RauruxRuto, SeymourxLulu, DrydenxHitomi, etc. You get the point. I don't mind OCs, as long as they don't majorly conflict with any of the above couples. And I absolutely refuse to read anything yaoi, yuri, or incest. I apologize if I've offended anyone, but I do not feel comfortable reading these kinds of fics. I'm not homophobic, I just do not agree with the homosexual way of life. There is a difference between being afraid and not seeing eye to eye with someone. I can respect homosexuals as people, just like I can respect aethiests even though I'm religious.

And that's all I can think of. If I come up with more, I'll post them too.
