Blah.

Okay, this year's NaNo is a failure again. I'll still keep writing on the story until I at the very least reach 50k words. ... It's just gonna take a little while longer. *siiigh* I feel it's such a mess of bad plotting and the secondary characters are so underdeveloped, srsly, but I like the world and everything so I'll keep working on it.

Anyway, CONGRATULATIONS to those of you who succeeded! I'm so envious you have no idea. XD

And since I got up like three or four hours before I actually have to leave the house and I can't write... whee memes!

Give me a character/pairing from any fandom I participate in and I'll give you one fanon that I like and one that I don't agree with.

And if you have more of that type of meme, plz gimme. I feel like I keep recycling the ones I do like and there's rarely one that makes me sparkle.



No NaruSasuSaku or sexy no jutsu allowed, self. It's too easy. >___>


YURI PAIRINGS (oh god this is hard. kishi needs more awesome women damn it, half of these are total crack)

SIX PAIRINGS I LIKE:
1. SakuHina (whut self XD current yuri otp, how did that happen)
2. SakuKarin
3. TemaIno
4. KaruiSaku .__.
5. Kushina/Mikoto *_*
6. Tsunade/Mizukage *__*

THREE PAIRINGS I'VE ABANDONED:
7. InoSaku
8. TsuSaku
9. KureHina

SIX PAIRINGS I DON'T LIKE:
10. TsuShizu
11. ShizuSaku
12. InoHina
13. TemaTen
14. KureSaku
15. ...KarinHinata! (pfft.XD)

TWO SHIPS THAT HAVE PIQUED MY INTEREST:
16. Anko/Kurenai
17. InoKarin

1. Why do you dislike #11 so much? (ShizuSaku)
Shizune is boring and meek and would not complement Sakura's inner fire. There's the sempai/kouhai side of the relationship that could add spice but they don't even seem to be close in that way either. They're both more interested in Tsunade than each other.

2. Who do you know that ships #13?
TemaTen? No idea.

3. What would be your ideal scenario for couple #3? (TemaIno)
Shika introduces them. They start bitching and snarking at each other, which ends up being so much more interesting than paying attention to the rest of the world, which *gasp* man, but it's FUN! which ends in making out. Or sparring. Or sparring and then making out. mmmh.

4. What is your favorite moment for #1? (SakuHina)
:3333 yess, grope those boobs, Sakura, grope them, the healy waves need to penetrate deeper~ *hur hur hur*

5. How long have you been following couple #6? (Tsunade/Mizukage)
Since Mizukage first appeared. I mean, whoa. Hot, strong-willed women in positions of power in a world of men. Also Mizukage has men problems XDD Obviously they should start a kunoichi relationship, where they appreciate each other's ability to truly understand their situation and enjoy the verbal sparring and the companionship and solidarity ... while planning to stab each other in the back if that were to become necessary -- and both of them know it. It would be awesome.

6. What's the story with #8? What made you stop caring? (TsuSaku)
I dunno. I still enjoy the interaction, but less than when the idea of hur hur hur hands-on training was still new and shiny. .__.;

7. Which ship do you prefer--#2 or #4? (Sakura/Karin, Karui/Sakura)
I... have no idea. I've thought more about SakuKarin because Karin's been around longer and there's the foreshadowed rivalry, but I would also really, REALLY enjoy Sakura slowly proving to Karui that her first impression of crybaby!Sakura isn't all there is to it, far from it. Also, KaruiSaku isn't built around their bonds to Sasuke, it's purely about the two of them. ...Okay, probably KaruiSaku at the moment.

8. You have the power to make one ship non-existent. Choose from #10 or #12. (TsuShizu/InoHina)
Well. I go back and forth on ino/Hinata (sometimes I think it would be a fun mentorship, other times I think they have nothing in common and would bore each other) but TsuShizu just bores the fuck out of me. So, TsuShizu.

9. What interests you about #17? (InoKarin)
Snarky sneaky kunoichi highschool!backstabby friendship~

10. When did you stop liking #7? (InoSaku)
When I realized Sakura had outgrown Ino and while they would always be good friends, all the special intensity and importance placed on their bond seemed to be gone due to Sakura having much larger concerns and interests than being a rival for Ino. It made me sad for Ino. I always perceived her as the one half in love with Sakura already, but Sakura is turned outwards now and that makes me think it would be unrequited. ;__;

11. Did your waning interest in #9 kill your interest in the series? (KureHina)
Hahaha, no. XDD It was a ship that didn't last me very long.

12. What's a song that reminds you of #5? (Kushina/Mikoto)
... I hate the song questions. Just saying. I dunno, something about MILFs? XDD

13. Which of these ships do you love the most right now?
SakuHina, actually. I have no clue why. But it would be SOCUTE and... I really have no explanation. XD;

14. Which do you dislike the most?
ShizuSaku, I guess. I don't really dislike yuri pairings, I just stop caring entirely.

15. If you could have any of these pairings double date, who would they be?
SakuKarin/TemaIno. *__* Oh the fun, the snark.

16. Have #2 kissed yet? Elaborate if yes. (SakuKarin)
Hahaha. I WISH. They've... crossed paths looking incredibly determined? Yeah. That counts. >__>

17. Did #4 have a happy ending? Do you think one is likely? (KaruiSaku)
Man, I hope -- a happy ending in that case would be Sakura earning Karui's respect. (funnily enough of all Sakura pairings this is the only one where I don't see Sakura topping. Apart from TsuSaku, but that one's a special case.)

18. What would make you start shipping #14? (KureSaku)
For Kurenai to become interesting. >___> She had potential -- mysterious-sexy genjutsu user -- but she never does jack with it. The "teaching sakura about genjutsu" idea has potential but Kurenai would have to be developed A LOT.

19. If only one could happen, which would you prefer--#2 or #6? (SakuKarin/ TsunadeMizukage)
... this is difficult! D: Probably TsuMizu, though. Sakura and karin's interaction would make me happy even if it's all haet and rivalry without the sex part, whereas TsuMizu... well. prrrt.

20. You have the power to decide the fate of #16. What happens to them? (AnkoKurenai)
Anko decides she's tired of Kurenai mopping and being all "o no i be a good wife/widow wahh my life=my child nao" and she wants the teenage girl she dragged into dangerous adventures back. she reinjects some crazy in their relationship and seduces her into forgetting that she's supposed to do nothing but mourn Asuma and be proper now. In return Kurenai slowly civilizes her into being halfway domestic (kinda) and accepting The Spawn. it would take a while before she's sure anko wouldn't break its brain and make it grow up messed up, though, but that would be interesting to see.

HET PAIRINGS

SIX PAIRINGS I LIKE: (-- damn it I don't like sasusaku or narusaku on their own. okay then.)
1. naruino
2. jiratsu
3. suikarin
4. sasori/sakura XDDD
5. shikatema
6. ankokaka

THREE PAIRINGS I'VE ABANDONED:
7. leesaku
8. kibahina
9. gaatema

SIX PAIRINGS I DON'T LIKE:
10. itasaku
11. shikaino
12. saisaku
13. shinohina
14. nejiten
15. SasuHina

TWO SHIPS THAT HAVE PIQUED MY INTEREST:
16. inosai
17. karuinaru XD

1. Why do you dislike #11 so much? (shikaino)
I don't dislike it, I just never really saw it as anything but "their parents were friends and they behave like they're cousins", Shika is closer to Chouji and while they're friends we never see Ino interested in a conversation with Shikamaru -- it's more like she talks about stuff that interests her and he nods and pretends to listen. They care about each other but have no interests in common.

2. Who do you know that ships #13? (shinohina)
No idea.

3. What would be your ideal scenario for couple #3? (suikarin)
He almost dies, she realizes the idea makes her... uncomfortable, because fuck if anyone's gonna kill him it'll be her... and their relationship goes from hate/amused hate to lovehate/umm?what'sgoingon which would be hilarious to see.

4. What is your favorite moment for #1? (NaruIno)
Alas it has none. Woe. It's crack. But fun, sexy crack.

5. How long have you been following couple #6? (anko/kakashi)
I'm not. It's just hot and fun in a completely dysfunctional, "I know you're just as broken as I am and not looking for anyone to fix you either" thing.

6. What's the story with #8? What made you stop caring? (KibaHina)
It's... cute. Yeah. I just got bored.

7. Which ship do you prefer--#2 or #4? (JiraTsu/SasoSaku)
Seeing as one is "n'aww bittersweet old people" and the second is HAHAHA WHAT and the attraction is only in the OH SO WRONG puppetpr0n and the awesome fight scene they provided...

... I don't know. The cracky porn is really fun? XD;;

8. You have the power to make one ship non-existent. Choose from #10 or #12. (Itasaku/saisaku)
ItaSaku. >_> Okay, no, wait, SaiSaku. ItaSaku is crack and really wtf due to what Itachi did to Sasuke, but, you know, in light of recent developments there's the fact that Itachi is not evil and if he had lived he would have been dragged back to Konoha and needed a medic-nin, and recent developments have made saisaku shift from "he knows NOTHING she teaches him stuff like a big sister but there's nothing she could want in here he's like a child developmentally speaking and he annoys her at times" to "... also his first love is Naruto and he sees nothing wrong with stomping all over her feelings".) Okay, so, SaiSaku. >___> Maybe they'll have more moments later but for now I just can't figure it out.

9. What interests you about #17? KaruiNaru
http://gabzillaz.deviantart.com/art/Naruto-454-crack-128313056 .____.

10. When did you stop liking #7? LeeSaku
I just got bored of it. .__.;

11. Did your waning interest in #9 kill your interest in the series? (gaatema)
pffft hell no. It did die with my loss of interest in Suna and the sand sibs in general, though.

12. What's a song that reminds you of #5? shikatema
I haaaate song questiooons.

13. Which of these ships do you love the most right now?
NaruIno. u.u

14. Which do you dislike the most?
SaiSaku.

15. If you could have any of these pairings double date, who would they be?
ino/sai and sui/karin. for the WTF.

16. Have #2 kissed yet? Elaborate if yes. JiraTsu
I'm sure they did more. Hur hur hur. And then the morning after it was "this was just comfort/drunken sex let's pretend it never happened." Aw.

17. Did #4 have a happy ending? Do you think one is likely? SasoSaku
XDDD he died by her hand! That's happy. Mm.

18. What would make you start shipping #14? nejiten
for neji to start caring and for tenten to develop more than three words of personality. But mostly for neji to start caring. his strongest bonds are outside his team and in his team he only notices lee, and never notices tenten in a way that shows anything deeper than "... she's that chick on my team with the pointy stuff." Meh.

19. If only one could happen, which would you prefer--#2 or #6? jiratsu/ankokaka
Anko/Kakashi sounds like more fun. Also what's interesting about jiratsu is that it never happened. it's bittersweet.

20. You have the power to decide the fate of #16. What happens to them? InoSai:
They find out they dress at the same shops and go shopping for clothes together. u.u


YAOI PAIRINGS

SIX PAIRINGS I LIKE:
1. narusasu
2. itasasu
3. sasusai
4. kyuunaru/sasuke :33333
5. suisasu
6. yamato/kakashi
(it's really hard finding a yaoi pairing i like with no sasuke in it. how strange.)

THREE PAIRINGS I'VE ABANDONED:
7. sasuneji
8. leegaara
9. naruneji

SIX PAIRINGS I DON'T LIKE:
10. narusai
11. narugaara
12. kibashino
13. itanaru
14. kakasasu
15. madara/sasuke >.>

TWO SHIPS THAT HAVE PIQUED MY INTEREST:
16. yahiko/nagato
17. ... umm umm danzo/sai .__. it's a wrongtp thing.

1. Why do you dislike #11 so much? narugaa
i'm just blah on gaara in general and i don't like that one of them would have to be uprooted. ._. also i liked gaara better when he was ruthless, that new exalted prophet of naruto thing makes the pairing unbalanced.

2. Who do you know that ships #13?
itanaru? I only know the one gal, and I really don't want to. >__>

3. What would be your ideal scenario for couple #3? sasusai
rivalry and painful "this is what you are, open your eyes and look at it" and "this is what you have that i want but it's never been for me" moments.

4. What is your favorite moment for #1? narusasu
valley of the eeeeend.

5. How long have you been following couple #6? yamato/kakashi
when kakashi landed him with the bill. XDD

6. What's the story with #8? What made you stop caring? leegaara
i only really cared about maldoror's version, not really the pairing.

7. Which ship do you prefer--#2 or #4? itasasu/kyuunarusasu
... THIS IS REALLY HARD. itasasu for the painful love side and kyuusasu for the lemons.

8. You have the power to make one ship non-existent. Choose from #10 or #12.
narusai or kibashino... kibashino. it kinda comes across as a sort of "well they're on the same team and we' ve got to yaoi-pair kiba with SOMEONE for me.

9. What interests you about #17? danzo/sai
the sheer wrongness of it.

10. When did you stop liking #7? (sasuneji)
i don't really care about the pairing if it's not written by or rped with sarolynne. so i can't say i truly like it. .__.;

11. Did your waning interest in #9 kill your interest in the series? naruneji
no, it was always minor for me.

12. What's a song that reminds you of #5?
BZZT PASS.

13. Which of these ships do you love the most right now?
narusasuuuuu.

14. Which do you dislike the most?
ItaNaru.

15. If you could have any of these pairings double date, who would they be?
narusasusai threesome yayyy.

16. Have #2 kissed yet? Elaborate if yes. itasasu
brotherly so! also, eye plucking and forehead pokes. that's almost like sex in a way.

17. Did #4 have a happy ending? Do you think one is likely? kyuu/sasu
pfft. XD well, sasuke could help naruto to control kyuubi... and then something torrid could happen!
naruto: ... okay gtf of my brain, sasuke DX DX DX

18. What would make you start shipping #14? kakasasu
if kakashi was de-aged to roughly the same age. oh yeah. teen!kakashi is more interesting.

19. If only one could happen, which would you prefer--#2 or #6? itasasu or yayakaka
itasasu, no competition.

20. You have the power to decide the fate of #16. What happens to them? yahiko/nagato
they die together. that would make nagato happier, i think.



okay i have to, like, leave the house for five-six hours or something. will come back to this later.

Well I churned out 50,518 words but really, you came out ahead when it comes to writing a story.

I have all these words with no real plot, and what plot is there doesn't hold together. I resorted to a hell of a lot of filler in the first 15k and used an extensive flashback to get the last 10k. The characters held up well enough but it's rather ironic that the flashback has more plot than the main story. All I really proved is that I can bash on through absolutely hating what I am writing to meet a deadline simply because I despise feeling like a failure and all that counts for NaNo is words, not writing quality.

As for the meme, I can't recall if you got into Kuroshitsuji or not, if you did, Sebastian. If you didn't I guess I'll go for Moribito and Balsa. :)

I hate writing things I know I'll redo later, but I kinda had to get over that to finish. omg, so hard. ;__; The end result, though, hopefully means I can push myself through something to the end quickly, then go back and edit and fix all plot problems, cause yeah, lack of plot is a major, major problem in damn near everything I write.

If whoever decided to put the National Writing Month in the middle of the holiday clusterfuck (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b8X7e7rUJOA) could just go ahead and die in a ditch....filled with scorpions....while lit on fire....then I'd be happy. Seriously, first attempt at a NanoWriMo, and I can say I failed dismally. I've decided to say "bother this nonsense" and just continue to work on my little project until its done and not give a flying rat's ass (mostly because having the ass of a rat that can fly would be extremely valuable to the right buyer!) about arbitrary deadlines like the end of the month.

Sad to say, every time I try to write, I get bogged down in characters. So few of them let me toss them together without miles of plot to get to that point, especially if the storyline isn't quite resolved. I'm waiting for this current chapter to wrap up, for instance, since what happens to Sakura, Naruto and Sasuke could greatly impact where and how this story goes. I think my muse was an editor in its past life. ::grumble::

Okay...

How about TobiSasu? 8D

And a character/pairing for the meme....

Hinata as a character, and SasuKarin for the pairing.

I was introduced to Kankuro/Ino on a fic meme recently and I thought it might interest you as a pairing since it was written as deliciously snarky and amazing. Buuuuut, I've forgotten what Kankuro's like so I'm not entirely sure that interpretation is in character.

Your thoughts? I'm not going to ask you to do the meme on it because I'm pretty sure the pairing doesn't have fanon to begin with.

Het #4: I keep meaning to write a fic where Sasori makes Sakura his puppet queen of the dead and they go be horribly dysfunctional together, but it just never seems to come together on paper.

Het #17: Well, that pic you linked made a believer out of me.

A little late, but Kyuubi (let's assume he's a male demon). I am a bit conflicted, because on the one hand, I want to see Naruto kickin' with Kyuu like Bee does with his, but on the other, I kinda enjoy Kyuu tormenting and fucking with Naruto.
