on naruto and characterization...

[askerian]

recycled Naruto rant that makes me come off like an elitist, controlling bitch.

I don't begrudge people the right to enjoy fics using a looser sense of canon, they can be very fun as well; I just get a bit twitchy when that fanon is so accepted that it becomes strange to actually use stuff that's not totally raping canon. Also, I desperately needed something to rant about, so here. Whatever.

oh god i can't read NaruSasu fics anymore, I just can't find any new fics that don't make me barf. noooo. I don't want to lose all enjoyment of that pairing, damn it, they're the closest thing I've ever had to an OTP. T_T /whine

Word.

I'm afraid some of my early Naruto fanfic had him more angsty than he should be, but I'm trying to be better about it now. >.> Live and learn, I guess. XD

A lovely rant, though. :) I can't stand weepy!uke!Naruto. At all. XP Which is one of the reasons I read your stuff. ;P

Well, lots of people like writing or reading angst (i did at some point XD), so it's not as bad, besides angst fics are a normal subgenre. So really, angsting them up a bit is not a horrible thing to do. :p

I suppose. But now that I'm caught up with the whole series, I understand Naruto better, and I much prefer his "I'm gonna live and succeed no matter what" attitude than any angst. Plus, I'm a total sucker for happy endings. And a hopeless romantic. XD
