Author has written 5 stories for Naruto.

22. Female. Student.

I've been on this site for a very long time, and have spent more time reading than writing- admittedly.
I spend too much of my life involved in Animes and Mangas not to want to see them continue, spin-off, or to advance my fantasies through Fan-fiction.

All of the stories I have on here currently, I wrote when I was 13/14 years old- so please excuse them if they have mistakes.
Pretty much all of them have either contrived and convoluted plots that I couldn't continue.
OR, they have overly simplistic plots with rushed character development that I didn't want to continue.
But I'd like to think that in the past 10 years I've grown as a writer, at least a little bit.
I hope that I can start a new story that I'm excited about, with a plot I enjoy that isn't so... cringe-y.
So, bear with me and thank you for your patience and support!
Thank you, to everyone who has supported my work and myself and who stuck through terrible writing and unfinished stories.
Thank you for the kind reviews and suggestions, thank you for the favorites, thank you in general.
I can't tell you how much it makes me smile and how very much I appreciate all of you.


Influences:

Originally, Inuyasha and Naruto were the first animes/mangas that I got into.
Both very action-driven, decent plot, interesting character development, and a little romance.
Princess Tutu is another amazing anime (one of my favorites, honestly)
where there's this amazing plot, so much emotion and conflict and it's just very well-written.
Currently, I've gotten back into Fairy Tail and may actually write some new material. Who knows, we'll see.
Generally I like plot-driven stories with interesting characters who develop slowly through a hearty dose of emotional conflict.
That's what I like to read, so that's what I'd like to write.


Stories:

"Sasuke's Regrets"
(Complete)
SasuSaku. Tragedy/Romance. 4/16/2007
"Songfic, Oneshot. To the song 'What Hurts The Most' by Rascal Flatts"

"Un-Forgetting"
(abandoned)- it's really cliché and I don't want to continue it
Sasu/Saku. Tragedy/Romance. 1/31/2007
"Sakura flees from Konoha to forget her pain. Due to a concussion she succeeds. What will become of our dear little Sakura?"

"Orphaned"
(abandoned)- don't really know where to take the plot anymore, don't want to revive it.
GaaSaku. Angst/Romance. 4/16/2007
"A little boy is found and brought into Konoha. Something seems off though. Something about this boy is different, and yet all too familiar.

"Deceit"
(abandoned)- not interested in the story anymore.
SasuSaku. Angst/Drama. 1/3/2008
"Today, the great Uchiha Sasuke returned to Konoha. Now, he ran as fast as he could pump the heady amounts of chakra through his muscles, from the very person he claimed to care nothing about."

"Summers: Memorable Days and Unforgettable Nights"
(frozen)- maybe I'll continue this one, still debating what I want to do with it.
GaaSaku. Romance/Friendship. 6/31/2007
"Sakura and her friends rent a house next to the beach for the summer. While the gang is there they meet new people and make a few new friends. And whether it’s just the heat of the summer or something else, friendships become something more. GaaSaku"

"My Nakama"
(pre-production)
NaLu. Adventure/Romance. TBD
"Natsu and Lucy seek to restore their former guild but are faced with seemingly insurmountable obstacles. Faced with the possible loss of their nakama, their powers will grow to levels that were previously thought impossible; and faced with deaths of loved ones, their bond will strengthen beyond the boundaries of friendship. NaLu. Takes place after Ch. 426 in the manga."
I actually have a full outline for it and I'm really excited to flesh it out and share it with you all. It has so much potential, I've done a lot of research to make it as believable and immersive as possible. This is the first time I've scratched out a complete outline for a story before. It will progress from the current point in the Manga and kind of predict what will happen. There's gonna be mostly action/adventure and an incredible plot- but also a secondary romance factor between Natsu and Lucy, as far as genre goes. In my outline I have about 20 chapters planned of solely plot development and action, so that's not including the fluff and filler that will be added as I go. Meaning, this is gonna be a big boy of a story (50K- 100K characters). I hope you're as pumped up for it as I am!! Let's go!
