whee, spamspamspam.

In other news, i've been wasting my whole afternoon reading this gal's One Piece fics and laughing and squeeing my ass off.

It's been a while since I found Naruto fic that delighted me so much, made it all seem new and shiny again. That's mostly because I'm not looking, because I'm a total elitist and I've been burned many times and now it's easier to not look. Also I spend too long with fellow piss-and-moan-ers over at [livejournal.com profile] fanficrants, and though I do love it there, being surrounded by deliciously snarktastic negative views doesn't help me keep an open mind when I think about starting to hunt for fic without a rec. And then I don't go to hunt on my own. Because I'm already thinking to myself "it's not going to be worth it", and that's not the right attitude to have if one wishes to have fun with fandom.

I'm already trying to tell myself I'm not gonna write for One Piece. SLIPPERY SLOPE AHOY. That's how I got out of Gundam Wing and into Naruto.

*sigh* maybe I have too many expectations of what a good Naruto fic should be. Maybe I'm just too lazy and expecting too much of my F-list.

this is not at all a thinly veiled plot to get you people to find me or write me good, shiny new naruto stuff. At all. Noooo. Would I ever do that? 9________9

I need to find new writers who make me go "ohh". I really, really need to.

I wish I could help. Unfortunately, I've been sort of "meh" on Naruto for a long while myself. I'll force myself to finish "Spiral Out," because I've already put so much effort into it and it wouldn't be fair to let it die now, but I don't know how much more I'll do for the fandom. Maybe finish my [livejournal.com profile] 30_kisses claim for SasuSaku? I dunno.

The perils of being multifandom. There are about ten other fandoms that I want to write cool things for, but "Spiral Out" looms and makes me feel guilty whenever I think of doing so. ;;;;

Have you read anything by lokogato-sama? There is awesome Team Seven, NaruSasu and Kakashi fic there. Like:

*grins* See, this is part of the reason I never end up finishing and posting any fic I write. Because I am one of those piss-and-moan-ers in fandom, if not on fanficrants, and I'm always looking at my stuff and going "...this sucks, doesn't it?" The end result being I never get concrit and never get better. *shrugs sheepishly* Plus it pisses me off when writers don't finish their fics, and I don't want to do that to people. ^_^; It makes me wonder if perhaps there are so few good fics in fandom because the vast majority of writers who post don't care if what they post is terrible, while those who give a damn don't necessarily take the chance, because they do care if they subject their fellow readers to crap.

Also, this isn't a Naruto fic, but I want to rec it anyway because it is of the awesome.

That's part of why I don't write fanfic1 myself. I've had a few urges to try it since I finished NaNo (I hit 50,012 words and writers block at the same time, joy) but nothing that said "write me NOW, bitch!" so they've been easy to ignore.

What I should be doing is buckling down to fix the problems with my NaNo and finishing it, so of course I'm getting fanfic plunnies. :P

1. I don't count my handful of precisely-100-words drabbles as fanfic. I can't make myself be impressed with 100 words of fic.

*de-lurks*

(Wandered over here from FF.net - Crossed Wires ftw! - hope you don't mind! :D)

Have you read any of Gokkayu's fics (http://www.fanfiction.net/u/1084947/)? They're excellent. She has NaruSasu, KakaSasu, ItaSasu (plus a few others) and some oneshots. She's also on lj ([livejournal.com profile] gokkayu), but most of her fics are on FF.net. I reccomend them all. Also, have you read Speces Vulpus (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3052270/1/)? You probably have, but it's so awesome I'll rec it anyway.^^
Ciao!

Simply because it was updated today...if you don't mind AU's, "Team 8" by S'TarKan is brillant, though not if you're looking for smex, and the only relationship in there is some cute Naruto and Hinata... Otherwise it's rich.

hey asuka.

I'm sorry you've been feeling the lack of fanfiction awesomeness. I think you might like this author, FireFly. Her work, both drama and comedy, are deffinetly your style. She totally got me sucked into her writings. (and the hidan fandom. Now theres a fandom i never thought i would be into.)

Here's the link: http://www.fanfiction.net/u/17903/

i hope this helps?

Peeves?

*muttermutter* stole my suggestion, how dare they have initive and better timing and good tase *muttermutter*
Even if it has Shino staring down his clan, and conspiracys afoot? Bummer.
Er...
Saw some oneshots that are worth a look off The Sh33p's FFn page, but they are "I feel like ficcing" quality, not "OMG this is teh Awesome!"
You might try S'tarkan's NOFP, basic Harry Potter time-travil fic, but it's pretty good (not that I'm biased), and up to Ch. 31 last I checked.
Sorry I'm not helpful, but as you said: pet peeves.
S'tarkan also has an OC based fic (3 chapters) called jinchuriki's tale you might try out. I don't recall it tripping of any ASUKA'S PEEVES alarms when I read it, but I forgot about half of them already. Remind me: you don't like characters who are devout cynics, do you?

Is this open to all?

The fic that really keeps me attached to Naruto fic is [livejournal.com profile] des_butterfly's stuff. And [livejournal.com profile] infinitefirefly's, too--especially if it has Hidan in it (which it usually does). ♥

[identity profile] des-butterfly.livejournal.com 2006-12-08 12:31 am (UTC)(link)
The irony of reccing a Team Seven bashing fic to someone who writes NaruSasuSaku XD

IT KILLS ME INTO TEARS.

[identity profile] des-butterfly.livejournal.com 2006-12-08 12:33 am (UTC)(link)
*blushy blush* I don't even write most of your pairing favourites, hon. XD

Complete agreement on infinitefirefly, btw. That newest thing with Hidan and Itachi? COMPLETE GOLD.

I know you don't. But even the stuff I don't "like"...well, you do it so well that you make me like it. xD

OH I haven't read the new one yet. I meant to because it looked awesome. *bounces off*

[identity profile] des-butterfly.livejournal.com 2006-12-08 12:42 am (UTC)(link)
lol I know. Lots of people like that fic, and it's very well written. And if you're into NaruHina it is considerably better than most of the NaruHina that's out there. I just got a funny imagining you eagerly opening it up and going "wha...where's Team Seven? D:" because that's what I did the first time.

XD
