Dr. Merlin's Guide to Fanfiction is filled with important tidbits, like this one:

"A special note for everyone posting to Fanfiction.net: when you post, you give a summary of the story. If you can't spell correctly in the summary, I'm not going to read your story. If you misspell the title of your story, I'm going to point at you and laugh, and still not read your story. Also please note that if your title and/or summary give away the end of the story OR if the summary contains the phrase "a mysterious new" insert description of your character here I still won't read your story and I may make fun of you in a public place because I'm mean."

I laughed. I am still laughing.

A father has to be a provider, a teacher, a role model, but most importantly, a distant authority figure who can never be pleased. Otherwise, how will children ever understand the concept of God?

Well, as you can see, chapter 3 is up and running. For those of you who might care, I no longer accept anonymous reviews for two important reasons: 1) I cannot reply to you if you have questions, which irritates me immensely. 2) Anonymous reviews indicate either a) a certain amount of cowardice on the poster's part and/or b) a lack of being polite.

Also, I have received word from Beta Reader. It seems that she is no longer on the writing scene due to various time constraints, and will be unable to continue proof-reading for me. Guess what that means, peeps. I need a new beta reader. Send me an e-mail or a PM if you're interested. Requirements are being able to put up with my crazy ideas, knowing how read and write well, and for God's Sake, please don't use IM speech when talking to me unless it's to make a point.

Stories in Progress...

Hinata ~ Hyuuga Hinata was born into ruin on December 27th, the burning remnants of her family's estate behind her, the body of her father and uncle on either side of her, and an ominous seal upon her stomach, containing the Kyuubi no Kitsune...

FANART ALERT!

Buni-san has been kind enough to draw the intro poster for the next chapter and subsequent Arc for Hinata!

It's located here: http://buni-san.deviantart.com/art/Mission-Find-the-Porn-112190976

Completed Stories...

Similarities ~ Similarities that are like a broken mirror. Team 7 in contrast to their teachers.
Bear ~ One-shot challenge with Buni-san. Kankuro was tasked with the most important job of all. He failed. Gaara wasn't going to be happy.
Over My Shoulder ~ Axel/Larxene oneshot. She liked it when he read over her shoulder.
Gift ~ Axel/Kairi Giftfic for Zanisha. It took a day, but he did get a gift...
Pain of Normalcy ~ Chakra sinks are a rarity. Uzumaki Himawari is the first case in decades. Silently, the family mourns...

Ninety-five percent of the kids out there are unconcerned by the dismal state of their education, or the fact that their fanfiction is raping the English language. If you're part of the five percent of fanfiction writers/readers who do care about such things, cut and paste this, and then leave reviews for those poor souls who know not what they do.

Story Concepts in Development...

A Shadow from the Future ~ When you know nothing about some of the recent past, it's best to not just take a name that you like. It could get you into a shitload of trouble...

Whirlpool Rising ~ In the wake of destruction, Konoha rebuilds. To the east, Uzu no Kuni begins to rise from the depths. Old horrors are released, and the new Generation prepares themselves for the inevitable clash...

Unnamed ~ Cyberpunk never looked quite as real until she walked into his life demanding eye modifications.

Unnamed ~ Assassin and Ninja sounded so outdatted. They prefered the term 'operative'.
