AN: Weddings Were a Norm and A Letter of Love have been deleted from on here and AO3. If you still want to read them, which I don't know why, you can do that on squidgeworld. (I deleted them as they weren't as fun as lampoons compared to some of my other attempts.) Farewell, Papa . . . has been deleted from all platforms. Permanently. Why? I don't care for Sarada; she's an abysmal character, a repugnant cretin, that bores me to tears and then to sleep; so if you didn't save it, then there's nothing to be done in this regard.

Cheers.

The previous image was of William Hazlitt (a great essayist, aptly called the "first modern man", and an inspiration for one of my favourite poets, John Keats). This image is of my man, Percy Bysshe Shelley (P.B. Shelley), the reformer, a romantic at heart. If you don't adore this man, we won't ever be friends!

Anarchist or MLM (I liberally swing between the two). Occasional Fan-Fiction writer. A lover of radical characters.

I've, tentatively, made a discord profile again. If you have some questions (coherent ones) you want answered, you can contact me on there. This is my discord id: daastango

I'm moving all my stuff to squidgeworld, where I go by the name DaastanGo. I won't delete anything from this site; however, due to the involvement of OTW (owners of AO3, which, as it's come to my knowledge, has been involved in vicious racism and sinophobia) in spreading the genocidal Zionism by directly supporting Israel through monetary funds, censuring Palestinian voices, and suppressing opinions on its ongoing ethnic-cleansing, my conscience doesn't allow me to interact with that site much longer. I'm informing people of this so that, if they want another alternative, they can choose that platform in lieu of AO3. (I might post there, but I still haven't decided as I want to be absolutely certain that I'm not adding to their revenue by engaging with it.)

Kindly, stop funding it. You can interact with it as that costs them money, but putting a dime in their pocket makes you culpable in their actions. Simple as that. Do the right thing whenever you can and however you can.

This account is used by two people; be mindful of that!

It's about time the world recognises that the USA is a dangerous rogue nation operating a 'terrorist' military.

Condemn the atrocities committed by the apartheid states of Israel, Myanmar, and India. Silence is as good as complicity.

New approach to hobby writing: I wanted to inform you all that I'd post most, if not all, future chapters in parts—as in, the chunks you see between the partition lines would be posted individually; and when the chapter's done, I'd merge them all together and post the chapter as a whole. Reason? Well, more like reasons, it's that I don't have the time nor the energy to sit down and type out very long chapters; and after a while I just lose the interest and forget the details altogether. As a result, it's a fucking pain in my arse to go through the tiresomely long drafts over and over again. (I'm re-reading the next chapter's details for the third time, and I still haven't written a single word for it as life distracts me often; I don't think you've got the faintest idea, given the scale of this fiction, as to how fucking irritating that is.) I write this story for three main reasons, and that's it: one, I genuinely enjoy writing it (and I love Sasuke as a character); two, it's a great way to jump over the very real writer's block that does prove to be a massive hindrance in regard to my original work, which I can't just start fiddling with on a whim (I need my wits about me for that, and this Fan-Fiction serves as a good way to get myself into the mood); and three, it allows me to improve the prose techniques I'm working on as a writer. Beyond that, it holds very little value in my eyes as it's primarily a source of pleasure for me—everything else comes later. In the simplest words possible, I do this just for fun—truly; and I sincerely have no interest in investing more time into it than necessary. It isn't "serious business" for me, because the moment it becomes one, I'm deleting every story on here and moving on with whatever damn life that I've got left. And life, my probable friends, is too fucking short to waste it on . . . Fandom Culture (or the vile horrors of Transformative Fandom and all the mind-attacking contagion it promises) to a sickening degree. (I know when and where to apply the breaks, so any more "investment" into this is . . . very uncool; I won't be able to show my face in public.)

Anyhow, if it's fine with you, good. I'd write the way that's convenient for me. Hopefully, you'd understand. If not, you can find another story to enjoy because that's just the way it's going to be for now on. Take it or leave it.

Blue: Ah, the endless woes of a shipper's heart. You people are always hilarious, albeit unintentionally!
