For the SasuSaku thing, I know what you're saying-- people seem to write it so shallowly, like "Oh Sasuke suddenly realizes he omglurvs Sakura and then Sakura goes "no I don't like you anymore" and omgangst. That's the plot for half the SasuSaku fics out there. But I've read some awesomesauce fics which keep me interested :D

...ngh sasusakukarin...WOAH. I never even thought of that before but omg it's like hatesmex except like...not. this time it would be Sakura and Karin fighting instead of Naruto and Sasuke! That's pretty amazing.

KyuuSasu human form YES. JUST YES.
