Hello, welcome to my page!

I've recently opened a Tumblr where I post short stories and prompts that you won't find on this site. I have around 25 stories summaries that I will be posting in the future, so you can check them out if you're a fan of my writing :)

If you want to get in touch, do so on AO3, I answer comments over there.

As always, happy reading! :D

Here's a whole bunch of ideas I have stored away on my laptop that I would love to read if they ever get written. I might do a few myself, but anyone's free to write one if they'd like.

Naruto!Minato back from the dead

Naruto - in his typical impossible fashion - screws up a space-time ninjutsu and tears his way into the past of an alternate dimension, where an unfortunate bunch of Iwa-nin instantly mistake him for his father. The news spreads across the land like wildfire, and before Naruto can do anything about it, everyone ‘knows’ Namikaze Minato has returned from the dead. Oops?

This is where Naruto emerges amidst a bunch of cultists trying to summon the Shinigami, but they were interrupted by a group of Iwa-nin. Events transpire in such a way that Naruto thinks he's only misplaced himself in Earth country, whereas the poor Iwa-nin think Namikaze Minato has clawed his way out of the Shinigami's grasp. In the most highly successful instance of accidental identity theft in history, Naruto decides to go along with it, masquerading as his dad.

The Smut Wars

In which an SI gets into a porn war with Jiraiya, accidentally destroys canon in the most explosive way possible, and somehow winds up joining the Akatsuki.

This is the one where our OC publishes a far better smutty book than Icha Icha, Jiraiya tracks him down and accidentally offs himself in the most embarrassing manner possible, our OC gets the blame and thus joins Akatsuki for protection, bluffing his way through ninja stuff because, you know, he's not a ninja.

This … this garbage was the best-selling porn series on Fire Country!?!?

What was wrong with people, were they so repressed that this shitty porn actually got them off?

It was mostly disappointment that made him so angry. After watching Kakashi enthuse about it, after Icha Icha featuring in so many fanfictions, his expectations for the series were high.

And very clearly out of proportion.

The eight-year-old boy glared at the book. Even he could do better, and he wasn’t an author!

He blinked. He could do better. He would do better. There was a lot of money in this porn business, and clearly, there was a gap in the market just begging to be filled.

The Tsunade and Orochimaru Road Trip

Orochimaru, beginning his experiments in the Mokuton, realises his research would go so much faster with competent help. Someone who knows the human body, the Shodaime’s bloodline and complex chakra theory. Yes, he needs Tsunade. In which Orochimaru finds Tsunade on her gambling spree… and never leaves.

Tsunade had been one of the top jounin in Konoha, had been used to pulling high intensity shifts where her every action meant literal life or death, in addition to running dangerous missions. Her retirement had been… peaceful.

Ok, she was bored, damnit.

Orochimaru popped up like a recurring rash once every few months, then every few weeks. Tsunade grew to look forward to those visits for the intellectual challenge he always brought with him, and then sparring (all bloodless but no less exciting), learning the new tricks he’d come up with and using her own against him. They delved into intensive scientific research, created several new canyons along the roadsides, and drank sake while reminiscing about better times, when they were both far less jaded.

Tsunade had missed him.

When he reappears with his entire laboratory sealed within a scroll and doesn’t leave, Tsunade thinks Orochimaru has missed her too.

[The Creation of TonTon]

Orochimaru surveyed his recent successful Mokuton pig. Admittedly, not as impressive as a Mokuton human, but it was a tangible step in the right direction. It wouldn’t have been possible without Tsunade’s help.

Tsunade and her apprentice become inordinately attached to the piglet. They coo over it, teach it to use its wood release to trip people, and dress it in expensive clothing. The barnyard animal wears a pearl necklace worth more than most families would be able to earn in their entire lifetimes.

Said piglet looks obnoxiously smug as it sits ensconced within the medic's arms. Orochimaru eyes it with distaste. The spoiled thing rarely has to walk anywhere, Shizune constantly carrying it about.

Villain!Minato

You either die a hero or live long enough to become a villain. Kushina is dead. Naruto is dead. Minato lives, and the whole world will find out just how terrible a villain he can be.

I would love to read a Minato who is disillusioned/breaks and becomes a villain or anti-hero. Because he's portrayed as a near-perfect hero, I think Minato as a criminal would make for a gripping and utterly enthralling read if done right.

Want to live? Join a cult

“You there! Would you like to join the way of Jashin?” Staring at the grinning man before me, I took in his platinum hair and wine-coloured eyes alight with bloodlust. Because I wasn’t suicidal, I forced a smile of my own and said, “Sure. I'd love to.”

Goodbye sanity, hello Hidan-sensei

Horror Movie Madness

A horror movie fan is reborn in Konoha. Years later, the rest of the elemental nations begins to understand why genjutsu is the Worst Thing Ever. Features Lovecraftian tentacle monsters of the non-perverted and terrifying kind, serial killer clowns and cheesy carnival music, and other unspeakable horrors.

Look, I didn’t set out to create this genjutsu. The idea simply… snuck up on me when I was sitting in class during our Genjutsu unit.

What was the most disturbing thing I knew of?

I didn’t want to make people feel pain, because that was cliché and so overdone. Shinobi are taught to manage and work through pain and fear. But people aren't trained against weirdness. I wanted them to be… disturbed, shaken so they couldn’t react well in a fight.

I considered ghosts, creepy crawlies of all sorts, the usual off-putting things.

But with the Aburame clan around, those things were scary and not necessarily disturbing.

No, I needed something new, something never seen before in the elemental nations, some new horror I could inflict on the world.

Then I thought of the Cthulhu demons – tentacle monsters with too many mouths and eyes.

But that would be more terrifying than weird, and I would be showing this to a bunch of academy kids who would be serving as my guinea pigs. I didn’t want to genuinely traumatise them, so I benched the idea temporarily.

I needed something that people would see and wonder, what on this living earth is wrong with you?

I wanted people to think they were fighting an absolute madman.

And then it came to me.

Crazy hair, the white-painted face, and a red grin that stretched from ear to ear.

You’d never want to meet a clown in the dark, that was for sure.

Clowns weaponised cheer and were so friendly while looking absolutely terrifying, and the cheesy carnival music was used in horror movies for a reason.

More than that, there were no carnivals in the elemental nations. No one even had an inkling as to what clowns even were.

'Well,' I grinned manically to myself, 'they were about to find out.'

If I had to be traumatised by clowns, then so would everyone else.

When the Third Shinobi War broke out, I was thirteen years old and a chuunin. They warned us against specialising early, and as younger shinobi we should be polishing all our skills. I… agreed with that in theory, but this was wartime and I needed the edge. The only techniques I knew beyond the academy trio were genjutsu, but I was ready.

Oh man, was I ready.

The rest of the world wasn’t.

SI as Uchiha Izuna's daughter

Born as Uchiha Izuna’s daughter, I was in a prime position to change things. With a long legacy, natural talents and my stunning good looks, I set out to accomplish my goal; embarrass Uncle Madara in front of the other clan delegates.

Tobirama teaches Sasuke

Uchiha Sasuke died with his clan but his body kept on living; there was no other explanation for why he could suddenly see ghosts. Meeting the ghost of Senju Tobirama was a stroke of luck – Tobirama had spent his entire life creating new and horrific ways to kill Uchiha and had once been the scourge of his clan - what better person to teach him to kill Itachi?

In which Sarada and Itachi are the best Uchiha duo ever

Eleven-year-old Uchiha Sarada appears before Itachi just as Shisui throws himself off the cliff. Suddenly faced with the consequences of his decisions before he makes them, Itachi has to adapt and overcome his circumstances, all the while caring for his newly discovered, temporally displaced niece – a girl who knows so many dangerous secrets and holds the key to the future.

(It should be noted that I have never watched Boruto, so I don't really know much about Sarada. But I think her and Itachi would make a great team)

I'm always stunned when I go back and read my first story - I wrote it when I was a teenager and you can totally tell. Honestly, I'm just leaving it up there so I can look back and boggle at what I thought passed for good literature, as well as admire how far I've come since then.

So to those readers who somehow believed it was actually a good story - sorry, I won't be updating that one. But to those writers who want to become good - there is hope! I've definitely improved leaps and bounds, so you can too! That's part of why I love writing fanfiction, you get instant feedback and support on your projects. Without this site, I never would have come as far as I have as a writer, though I still have ways to go.

Thank you to all my readers who encouraged me to keep writing, even when I was new and starting out, and who continue to support me today,
