Sorry, guys. We're going on hiatus until the fall. I have business to attend to in the waking world.

Clan politics within Konoha aren't as complicated as popular civilian soap operas would have people believe - ninja have enough enemies as it is without feuding recreationally with their allies.
Oh, my. Did I make the great and apocalyptic Hymn like Naruto for a brief shining moment?Hymn of Ragnarok said:
I know exactly why, it was an intentional dig at fanfiction where the Hyuuga can't think of anything better to do with their time than compete with the Uchiha. It makes sense in Wallflower Quest 'cause it's obviously the result of two fathers taking shit too far for their own prides' sake, but Jesus Murphy, with some fics you wonder how these people ever thought the Hidden Village system was a good idea in the first place.Hymn of Ragnarok said:This in particular is a favorite and I'm not entirely sure why. Go you.
I wanted to check in with Sasuke's team and decided, "Hey, everybody writes Shino in the exact same way. Let's see if I can't try something new."Jiven said:
And yet, Creatively Unfulfilled Furiko is good news for us, because it means more Cosmos Quest.FurikoMaru said:Creatively unfulfilled Furiko is creatively unfulfilled and antsy. Time for snippet.

Nice job with Shino. I've only ever seen one fic with Naruto and Shino interacting regularly, and he didn't push the 'host-parasite' angle (Hinata was involved too, so Shino largely got ignored compared to the Naruto/Hinata shipping).
Hee. I actually worked entirely backward on that conversation, believe it or not. The whole time I was thinking about Naruto's internal conflict and what could be something helpful another kid in a roughly comparable situation could say without knowing all the details of the jinchuuriki issue (Shino's currently working under the assumption that Naruto's the child of a missing nin, since it would explain his close relationship with the Hokage [Saru is known to take what he perceives to be his failures hard] and the fact that adults have clearly been avoiding him for longer than he can remember).Hymn of Ragnarok said:I-Idiot. Why would I like the dweeb?!
More seriously, the one I enjoyed more was Shino and his observations. For me Naruto was just a device to provoke said observations, and he served well enough.
Ha, got it in one.FurikoMaru said:That was the massively irritating thing about Team Eight, for me. I like NaruHina as much as the next chick, but dude, Shino's an introverted character who gets no development in canon; you don't wanna, I dunno, do something with 'im? Something besides just shunting him into the 'brains' slot on the 'beauty brains and brawn' wheel? Please?

Y'know what I'm most proud of about that snippet?
I fuckin' hate bugs.
That happens to you, too? During the spring, I'd leave my window open pretty much 24/7, except for when it was raining, and flies would always hang out on my window-screen.iamnuff said:i have the biggest fucking flyswatter right now.
its like 40 fucking degrees here, so i open my window for an hour, and suddenly its fly central.
