... So as with every single time I have to write important scenes on a current multipart, I am currently run over with the need to do a bazilion drabbles on random stuff.

I've started an Itachi-centric fic with a plot device that I usually hate. D: (

bakkhos, I should probably talk with you about it. XD;;) I've poked at my porny-funny team Seven sexing thing that gets to page 18 before there's any penetration going on and then I hit a mental block or something and I can't go farther, poor Sakura. DD: I've wasted hours daydreaming over the cracktastic-but-so-cute possibilities of a Sasuke who's sick enough to be floppy, nightmary and confused, only to end up with no point and no plot and the bunny dying on me. DDD: I've -- well, I've figured out a couple things for Teamwork, and then promptly went back to other, more important things, like googling my real name to see if anyone else had it. (there are several actually. One is a religious philosopher, one is a doctor specializing in "end of life care" *brr*, one is a lawyer, another one is a realtor. Of all of these, I want to repudiate the realtor the most. XD Also I'm apparently married to a guy in our national football team. Huh.)

Eventually, googling shit got boring, so I want to go back to writing.

But not Teamwork, hahaha, that requires too much brainpower.

And for some strange, weird reason, I want to write drabbles for NaruHina, SasuSaku, NaruSaku and perhaps even SasuHina, just to prove to myself that I can.

Problem is. I have no plotbunnies for these. At all. Everything I can think of is 1) cliche as fuck and has been done and done and done until it died, and then done again necrophiliac-style, 2) too easy to turn into "X and Y miss Z in tandem because OT3 FTW" or 3) OOC, bland, boring or otherwise pointless and uninteresting.

... I am open to suggestions and prompts, though I make no promises I'll choose yours. u___u;;;;;; And yes I do mean "X and Y being together and happy about it and not pining for someone else in secret ~~too much~~" or at the very least "X and Y crushing on each other/becoming closer".

edit: in other news, here is a R-rated narusasu pic.

I like your idea of googling your real name, I'll try it.^__^

I can see SasuSaku working if there is NaruHina happening. A light drabble I can suggest is probably a SasuSaku house-warming, it would be interesting to hear where they are living, Naruto brings a lively gift :) After all though he is Hokage does not mean he does not have a sense of humour. :D

my idea is totally boring, I know.

Okay I will shut up now... I hope your block ends soon.

Technically it's not my idea, a friend on my Flist did it first and I was just that bored. XDD But it's fun. Kinda weird, but fun.

... also mighty strange that most of those people were english or american. Except for the football player's wife. I hate football. XD

HMMMMMM. That has the potential to turn into a real one-shot, and I'd really like to keep it at drabble-length. XD;; ~~yeah right, like i know how to do that. XD~~

♥ thanks, hon ^^

I've googled my name... and I get an heiress to a car company with it! XD I'm famous, and rich!

I wouldn't mind a NaruSaku, if you could manage. Hmmm, plot... okay, can't come up with a real plot, but the idea of addiction keeps coming to mind. Like... his or her thoughts on not being able to live with out the other?

....actually, I see that veering towards a team 7 fic....

OH! I still have to give you your drabble! But seeing as to how I'm still LJ retarded, I don't know how.

heh, yeah, it's too easy to drift toward team seven thoughts. XD;;;;

ficcie! And just copypaste it in an entry on your lj? Like you're updating your LJ. If you want to hide the text behind a lj cut it's like that (lj-cut text="what you want the cut line to say") fic (/lj-cut), except you replace the parentheses with the little tilted V things. ^^

Yeah... it is... but hey, it's GOOD team seven thougts!

Okay. Sounds easy enough. But you'll have to wait until later, my brother is helping me update my laptop!

I think you should go for the NaruHina or SasuHina (I like this one better, lol). Just because NaruSaku and SasuSaku will probably automatically drive you towards OT3 fic. XP

How about a SasuHina without the whole "arranged marriage" angle? hmm... SasuHina is quite a challenge isn't it? I'm trying to come up with ideas for you, but my brain is stuck ^^';;;

oh my. your icon is hot.

Well, one of the points is that I want to prove myself i can write narusaku and sasusaku without it being OT3, since I can write narusasu. (somewhat.) besides I want a drabble for each pairing, ideally, so it's not like i have to choose. XD

and yeeeeah. I figure even if I tried a marriage plot, it would automatically be better than most sasuhina fics anyway because i wouldn't shy away from the political ramifications and genetic pitfalls, but ehh, that's a multipart, not a drabble, and I still don't like the pairing enough to write more than 500 words for it, tops. XD

It's alright if you don't find anyting, tanks for searching ^____^

Quoting an old, old post I made on my journal...

Another possibility I've seen a couple times in fanfic is Sasuke and Hinata, even if it's almost never handled well. Despite that, I think that it's sort of plausible if you look at them as interacting somewhat like Kenshin and Tomoe from Rurouni Kenshin - with luck, we have them just -being- together, all quiet and soothing and peaceful. Without? Gloom, depression, despair, etc.

So... Ways to set them up, though...

Hrm. Well, let's throw out the 'really drunk last night' and 'my mission is what?!' gags, because they've been kinda done.

...actually, I think that there might be potential in the arranged marriage concept that hasn't been tapped. See... okay, this is really involved with my own interpretations of what we've seen jutsu and bloodlines do in the canon, so bear with me through the world-building rant.

I think that the distinction between Genjustu and Ninjutsu isn't 'physical effects vs. mental effects', but rather, 'manipulating/projecting chakra into the environment vs. manipulating/projecting chakra into another person'. I also think that the Byakugan lets its owners' eyes emit and receive chakra, like a dolphin's sonar or something. The Sharingan lost most of its sensitivity to incoming chakra, but gained the ability to conciously control output - so, a basic Sharingan can create genjutsu with no hand seals needed (why, I dunno; maybe they're easier to 'hook' onto their targets), and the Mangekyou is nothing more or less than the ability to add Ninjutsu on top of that.

Yes, Itachi described the Tsukiyomi as being due to Mangekyou. A. He's lying. B. He's wrong. C. Mangekyou can channel more chakra than standard, and that amplitude is needed for Tsukiyomi.

So, where does this lead our couple?

Sharingan is strongly recessive. Without matching genes on both sides, it won't happen. Konoha, for whatever reason, considers the generations it'd take for the family to breed apart to a 'safe' degree to be an unacceptable waiting period.

But the Byakugan uses almost all the same functions in a different way. The Hyuuga all the needed genes to pair up and create new Sharingan users in the next generation rather than three or four or five down the line.

...

Hm. They could also get to know each other as coworkers at some point, and grow closer from that basis. Hinata's reaction when Naruto finally hooks up with Sakura would be a good opportunity to take a major step in that process - there's a lot worse shoulders she could pick to cry on.

*shrug* Up to you.

Ja, -n

I have my own theories about Byakugan and Sharingan, but sadly, your or my ideas are not going to give birth to a drabble-length thing. XD

Also I don't like pairings that are "instead of", and Sasuke really, really would be the last person on earth anyone not team seven would use as a shoulder to cry on. XD

Okay, first bit, nothing to do with current rant/problem/angst. Cyborness infected me, I drew, I was not cleansed, I felt the need to inform you because it's your bunny. Cybor puns (http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/45278710/)

As for your drabbly ting... NaruSaku; Naruto's love for small boobs. Or something, I guess if you want to be serious you could do something for SasuSaku as Sasuke's need for something soft to show him that the world isn't all hard, or something like that... I'm afraid I can't really help you much with these sorts of things, I'm terrible at them myself.

Um... SasuSaku and Naruto's version of a wedding present. (Only after typing that do I realize the full idiocy of me >_<) NaruSaku and a sweaty, sexy spar. You could do a Neji pov for NaruHina. Or SasuSaku trying to have a baby and Naruto's suggestions.

Hope those help... though they probably won't. Good luck! I wish you the best!

[as a side note, you're just one of those writers that can make any pairing worthwhile]

bwee, the comic was very funny, thank you. ♥

I shall consider these. XD;;;

[#^____^#]

An Itachi-centric fic? *perks up*

yeah, well, you remember the bunny I gave you? u___u;;;

I thought giving it away would get me rid of it, but apparently not. Luckily, it's taking on a completely different setup and outcome than yours. XD;;;

... I don't even know if there will be any yaoi. It's looking gen so far! GEN! the shame. T____T

Gen ... that sounds very interesting, actually. I can't wait to see it. XD

♥

It is so hard to think of one withouth the others . . .

SasuHina - meet the inlaws?

SasuSaku - discussion/squabble about haircare products?

NaruSaku - who's stronger, and what's strength anyway?

NaruHina - what makes him notice her finally?

~MommyRogers

I've gotta admit, my first thought after reading your SasuHina rant a little while ago was, "Why hasn't anyone gone for the forbidden love angle yet?" But yeah, that doesn't sound very drabble-lengthy, nor does it sound easily justifiable, so.

Hmm.... Damn, I really can't think of a NaruSaku idea that doesn't produce an unreasonably strong, "Waah, but Sasuke will be lonely!" or "Waaah, Sasuke's not there" vibe, but then he's so very important to both of their lives. With SasuSaku the problem is figuring out what happened to make him finally take her seriously (since god knows that one of Sasuke's biggest problems is his apparent inability to recognize someone as a human being unless he thinks they could kick his ass), and the logical consequences on whatever that was on their interaction.

SasuHina is a bit harder, since you not only have some of the not-taking-her-seriously problem, but about the only way to avoid the stereotypical "arranged marriage" and "hey we both dig Naruto, let's bond over that" plots depends on Sasuke being a completely straight teenage male who just ignored all the dozen or so girls throwing themselves at him because none of them happened to be his type. ....I don't think any of us would really be fangirls if we found that easy to buy. Also, maybe if we knew what sort of things Hinata was going to be doing for the village now that she's older, we could get some sort of idea if they'd be likely to meet in some sort of official capacity after Sasuke returned to the village, but otherwise it's hard to think of a way for two such insular people to even get to know each other.

The main problem with writing even a short NaruHina is, I think, the lack of conflict. Naruto wants recognition; Hinata recognizes his strength of will even before he starts becoming strong or tapping the Kyuubi; Naruto eventually notices Hinata, rewarding them both for all their hard work. Boring. Maybe you could do something with an older Naruto getting slightly cynical about the kinds of recognition he's wound up getting?

Damn, I really can't think of a NaruSaku idea that doesn't produce an unreasonably strong, "Waah, but Sasuke will be lonely!" or "Waaah, Sasuke's not there" vibe

Me neither. I just... it doesn't work. The only way I could see them stop concentrating on him would be once he's back home and reasonably sane again -- but not interested in shacking up with either of them for some reason. And that would take way, way too big a fic to make it come off as not a cheap "second choice" fic. u.u;;;

SasuSaku would probably work with some punching in the face. The first time she gets seriously angry at him, maybe. XD

and YES. T_T naruhina is too easy and nothing actually happens. Unless I want to dig into their problems (naruto forgetting to slow down and listen to her, her being unable to say anything), but then I stop liking the pairing at all. =__= and Naruto and cynical hurts my soul ;_;

blargh. If I can write even just a sasusaku, i'll be happy. XD;

I am open to suggestions and prompts, though I make no promises I'll choose yours. u___u

Er...-blinks- an idea involving pairings can vary between fanfic writers. What kind of plot ideas are you looking for, then?

I do mean "X and Y being together and happy about it and not pining for someone else in secret too much" or at the very least "X and Y crushing on each other/becoming closer".

I'll be looking forward to the NaruSaku drabble, then. As for SasuHina...
I think it would be better for you to try "X and Y becoming closer" (platonic)

Don't get me wrong, I trust your writing skills very strongly (otherwise, I wouldn't be recommending your fanfics to others ^^)...but I think that SasuHina is virtually impossible to write into "being happily together" with just 500 words...not unless the person doesn't go in-depth into how the pairing worked so well in the first place. It would probably be even harder if the fanfic writer doesn't like the pairing very much (not sure why, but it seems to that way), and I don't think that it's worth spending that much of your time into writing something that you don't like.

Anyways...here is my idea for the SasuHina drabble...if you really want to write it, that is. I should mention that my ideas aren't necessarily coherent all the time, so don't be surprised if you find a flaw:

Sasuke is captured and sent back to Konoha. The Hyuga Clan wants to bring the Sharingan into their bloodline, so their stance on his trial is to let him live "under certain conditions". Desperate to find a way out of the mess for their teammate, Naruto and Sakura ask Hinata to help them figure out a political solution (since she understands noble clan political standards better and is willing to help them).

I think that you're simply not going to be able to do a SasuHina that really explores how or why they got together in drabble format. There's simply too much work involved in pairing up two characters that never interact significantly in canon. It can be done, but not in a few hundred words. My idea would probably be something along lines of "Hinata's giving birth to their first child, Sasuke's worrying about what type of eyes the kid will have, but when he comes in and sees his wife and child he decides it doesn't matter" but that's probably painfully cliche and doesn't explore the relationship terribly much.

NaruHina's a tough one for me, since it is... not my favorite pairing, shall we say. For me the most interesting part of that pairing is more how Naruto then interacts with the [i]rest[/i] of the Hyuuga, but that's not really what you're looking for. Maybe something about "the first time Hinata stood up to her father was when he demanded she stop seeing Naruto" or something, but even that isn't really focused on NaruHina.

NaruSaku... trying to keep away from involving Sasuke in the matter, my first thought is something building off of "Everyone else knew Naruto and Sakura were a couple long before they did." I like the "who's stronger, and what's strength anyway?" idea some one else proposed too.

SasuSaku I won't try, since it beats out NaruHina in the "not my favorite pairing" sweepstakes. :)

Meh. Drabbles aren't really my strong point. I hope I said something at least mildly inspiring in there. And since I believe this is my first comment on your LJ, insert generic praise for your writing HERE. :)

I think that you're simply not going to be able to do a SasuHina that really explores how or why they got together in drabble format.

... you're right, damn you. ~___~;

blah, my inspiration died. For, like, EVERYTHING. T_T It will come back, but I'm not sure the urge to write these pairings will come back too. I'm not sure I want it to, either.

#^__^# ♥

I'm pretty blah on all the pairings you mentioned. but with the SasuHina one does it have to be smut or romance? Can't it just be unappreciated children of major clans have a moment of connection? Or said children who have to work hard within their kekkei genkei?

Personally, I think SasuHina is a bad idea, on the basis of two extremely powerful doujutsu mixing would be a disaster...you could have someone important to Hinata (Neji is my choice, or Naruto, Shino, Kiba) in danger of being killed by Sasuke and she tries to fight him; successful or not he'd probably notice her since she's so inferior yet fighting anyway.

SasuSaku is also not my cup of tea. Maybe you could expand on his parting words (Thank you.) and his inability to return her feelings, but his acknowledgment that she gave them wholeheartedly. You did write a ficlet about him noticing her for the first time when she punches him in the face (I'm pretty sure it was you! *sweat drops*) and that's as far as I see their canon relationship ever going.

You'd think NaruSaku would be easier now that people in the manga seem to be dropping hints that Sakura loves Naruto, but that makes it more impossible than ever! Maybe you could have them like 'yeah, I like you but Sasuke's gotta comes first' and the other agreeing 'yeah, we'll talk about this once we drag his ass back home.' Ba-boom: determination renewed.

NaruHina...if anyhting they'd be a cutesy-not-really-forever-girl/boyfriend-thingy. They couldn't go anywhere; you could have a break-up? Or a realization that it won't last...Hinata can *get* Naruto's attention but she can't maintain it, and she certainly can't distract him from Sasuke.

Wait, did you want happily-ever-after drabbles? D:

In alot of the NaruHina fics I've read, a major issue seams to be the "forbidden love" angle, and alot of those are that Hiashi had already promised her hand to some NPC for political reasons, thinking that Naruto is a nobody that is going nowhere. However, judging by offhand comments from minor characters, the impression they seam to get is "hey, this kiddo'll go far/has talent (of some kind)/doth impress me and now I must change my ways and repent" While I have no doubt that Hiashi can be...traditional, I don't think that he'd balk too much from tying the Hyuuga to a strong Hokage canidate. Boom, arranged marage angle, different spin. What about instead of it being during their youth, a shot in their ripe old age? Some time ago I had a plunny for SakuLee along those lines (him a teacher at the acadamy, her a senior hospital person) and without them saying a word because it's all been said. Unfortunatly, I suck and have never gotten farther than "I'm going to write this down as soon as I get near a compu- CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES!!" so, yeah.
As for the NaruSaku/SasuSaku, there seams to be an unspoken "aren't we missing someone?", and I don't know how you could get around that.
SasuHina? Err... sorry. I got nuthin'
