    I tried writing the characters like they were the kind of teens I grew up around as I just couldn't pull off the whole shonen fresh as the driven snow thing yet. My writing wasn't mature enough to separate myself and my experiences from the characters at the time. My type of people works much...

    Basically an anti-fix it fic lambasting the genre. It was too much effort for a joke no one would appreciate, and to much of a mess to go back and fix into something I cared about finishing, and I was getting annoyed about people finding the fic and screeching every month or so about a regular...

    Everyone dies but Kiba, and he's left to just mop up the world he ruined because he rejected the themes of Naruto and tried to Realpolitik.

    It was going in a very Macbeth direction due to Kiba causing a rapid militarization of Konoha and WW4 kicking off for realises. Basically the Kage Summit is supposed to just be a farce before the fighting starts, but Akatsuki full court press attacks to kill the Kage and so Chaos.

    I did. It was an unfortunate wake up call that my childhood was quite different than the mainstream and because of that I should not work with teen age characters as the pool of experience I have to draw from makes people freak out.

    Thanks for the recs. I'm always down to read something good. Problem is my mind works different than most so I end up needing to write the stories that please me myself.

    Outside of QQ I only really recommend Kenichi618 on fanfiction.net. I don't really remember anyone else, no wait... I like Noodlehammer, but just his HP series. His work in Naruto is pretty warped and his Worm one is a very hard pass for me. His HP series is pretty goated. I don't even like WoW...

    I'm a fan of Brosef, GothicJedi, and DarkWolfShiro. I'm prolly most critical of Gothic, but that is mostly because he's always experimenting with writing prompts so I send him feedback. It's hard to tell who is more polished between Brosef and Shiro, but I'd say Shiro has better ideas but Brosef...

    What are your most hated fanfic tropes

    Trite motivation. The number of MC's motivated purely by survival/fear of death is a sad window into the cowardly souls of the authors. Sometimes you see some kind of hero complex, but not an actual heroic spirit. I prefer my stories to have rather hard and gritty MC's taking full agency and...
