Dan DAN DAAAAAAAAAAN

The dreaded AN chapter! How have you all been these past few months? Happy? Angry? Sad? Well I'm feeling a bit of everything if you asked me. You're all probably or actually wondering why I haven't been updating at all and really I only have one thing to reply to that,

Life!

Yes my friends of the internet, life has been keeping me very busy I'm afraid. Currently I'm in my final semester of my collage before I hit degree in hopefully my preferred university. So what this means is I'm swamped with work, projects, assignment and an angry nagging mother whom I love to death. Add to the fact of daily anime, games and my ever hateful procrastination I simply do not have the time to feed my inner writer the chance to update my beloved fanfiction.

Now don't be sad folks this doesn't mean the end! In a few months I'll be back in action typing to my heart's content! (Or for your content since I don't get any rewards what's so ever doing this)

Now that I am done explaining myself it's time I get to the business of my stories. I'm only going to talk about stories I might be taking back up again or planning to do.

Sword Art Online: Survival (SAOxNaruto)
is being abandoned. I'm sorry to say but I simply lost interest in the story. If any of you guys want to take it up I'll be happy to give you my consent!

Project Code: IS-Crown (Infinite StratosxGuilty Crown)
A new project of mine at a request of a friend. Might continue it, might not continue it because I seriously don't know how to finish it. The small preview of a first chapter was done without much thought really. I heard IS is having a reboot so until then I don't have that good of a reference to go by on how the story goes accept for the fan-serviced filled anime it has. It all depends on how many people want me to do it actually.

Guilty Crown the Novelization (Guilty Crown)
A story I've been planning for awhile now. It tells the story of GC heavily in Shu's thoughts and what he perceives it all to be during the whole course of the show. If you're interested in delving deep into the mind of the black king then this will surely be a good read for you I promise.

Now for what you all have been waiting for,

Guilt of the Shinobi
This story is being aban-just kidding! AHAHAH got you there didn't I? Ok maybe not so much but still gotcha a little. Seriously though I'm sorry to say but this story might just go in my rewrite block. I reread each chapter and was filled with both awe and repulsion. If any of you readers have made it far enough in this story you might have noticed the much improved writing in the later chapters while the early ones suffer from terrible amounts of grammar error and subpar story telling. I have to apologize to those of you who endured this, heck I almost didn't and I wrote the damned thing.

Safe to say this story is going to go through some much needed cleanup when I come back. Now about me rewriting this; I find that the flow of story is going a little ways away from what I imagined and wanted it to be. Everything is just going so smoothly, too smoothly and the interactions between characters seem a little if not robotic. I wanted Naruto to be the same stubborn brat he was in cannon but with a little more mature aspect to the ninja side of things. He was supposed to slowly learn to accept the fact that there are for more important things then one's own self and in the end be ready to make the biggest sacrifice of his life. I manage to capture what I wanted somewhat but it seemed too fast and unbelievable then what I wanted it to be.

Inori, dear sweet and beautiful Inori, man did I do one big of a Hail Mary on you. I feel like going back in time and slapping myself on the face for shoving you out of nowhere. Inori was never suppose to appear like she did and to have everyone accept her so easily was an even bigger mistake that I can't help but cry about. If there's one thing I got right that I wanted was her interaction between her and Naruto. The two of them were suppose to be each other's life line, their shoulder to cry on, their other half. Thank god I at least did that right.

Haruka did not turn out like I wanted, heck I didn't even touch her significantly at all actually. She was suppose to have a more important role then just being…'there'. I felt like I never used her full potential of a character at all and just made her an object people just kept referring to.

The rest of Konoha, the rookie 9 especially; well I can't say much since even in the anime Naruto made no significant impact on his peers until halfway through the chunin exams which unfortunately I stopped at, again I apologize for my incompetence.

The funeral parlor, oh how much I regret ever introducing them so early. These guys were supposed to be my trump card, my giant explosion of awesomeness, my Monalisa. Instead I just placed them there on a dusty old plate in a giant heaping mess, uncooked and unprepared with a big sign saying 'Here, have a nice day.' I'm not gonna even explain why; just accept the fact that all of it was a big perfect mess.

Well, that's all I have to say really. High chance I'll be removing chapters here and there and fixing old ones. If you all have any problems with this or want to explain more on some changes I can add feel free to review or pm me. I thank my dear friend for convincing me to reply to you all after all this time and I thank all of you readers for supporting me.
