As Im Writing A New Chapter, It Has Occurred To Me Just How Often Itachi Gets Told To Sit Down And Shut

As I’m writing a new chapter, it has occurred to me just how often Itachi gets told to sit down and shut up throughout his life. Specifically by the village elders and Fugaku’s advisors.

Note to self: Do not mention the moon phase or you will have to spend 20 minutes digging through the story to figure out how many nights have passed so you can accurately describe the sky’s lighting

Or at least keep track of the day count. It will help immensely. 

I started The Untamed and??? I’m crying???

The horrible fanfic urge to have all the Akatsuki members be roommates with their partners

No one: Sasuke reviving the Hokage for group therapy: This is fine.

My fanfic overview. I was tagged by @drowningindango.

1. How many fics on AO3?

Currently 14

2. Total AO3 word count?

368,259

3. How many fandoms have you written for and what are they?

5 on A03. Naruto, Boruto, Yona of the Dawn, Genshin Impact, Bungo Stray Dogs

4. Top Five by Kudos?

1) In The Dancing Of Fire, In The Curve Of Old Bones

2) Children of Pain

3) Parenting101

4) Fire of a Different Sort

5) Just Try It!

5. Do you respond to comments, why/why not?

Sometimes. I love reading comments, but I get nervous replying to them. So sometimes I just don't unless it's a question. It really just depends on my mood.

6. What’s the fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending?

I don't really do angsty endings all that often. If I had to pick one, though, I guess it would be Parenting101. (Though that was more bittersweet than angsty)

7. Do you write crossovers? If so, what is the craziest one you’ve written?

I don't think I've ever published any, but I've written quite a few for personal enjoyment. The strangest was probably a Digimon x Naruto crossover I did where Sasuke got the crest of endurance.

8. Have you received hate on a fic?

Yep. It sucks, but it's a natural part of writing.

9. Do you write smut?

Nope.

10. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not as far as I'm aware.

11. Ever had a fic translated?

Nope.

12. Ever co-written a fic before?

No.

13. All-time favourite ship?

I'd have to go with either Kisame x Itachi from Naruto or Cherry x Joe from Sk8 the Infinity.

14. What’s a WIP you want to finish, but don’t think you ever will?

I have a Sasuke and Itachi focused Naruto x The Promised Neverland WIP that I've been working on for months now. I'm not sure I'll ever be able to finish planning it, let alone write it. The worlds just have so many layers that need to be considered. Fitting the lore together is so tricky.

15. What are your writing strengths?

I like to think my fighting scenes and internal dialogue are pretty well done. I'm not sure, though.

16. What are your writing weaknesses?

Sticking to plot points. I get distracted and go off on a new idea way too easily. It's something I'm trying to work on.

17. What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages?

I'm pretty neutral on it. I enjoy seeing it as a reader, but I've never done it as a writer. It definitely seems to help clarify that it's in a different language. Explaining it in the text surrounding the dialogue seems a lot tricker.

18. First fandom you wrote for?

Yu-Gi-Oh! GX. That was back in 2017, I think.

19. Favorite fic you’ve ever written?

Either In The Dancing Of Fire, In the Curve Of Old Bones or Guppies.

So there’s that! That was fun. I’ll tag @timiraneophan or anyone else who wants to do it.
