Ok, I have to say this.
I’ll still be reading Naruto fanfiction, but I don’t know when I’m going to work on my two unfinished canonverse Naruto fics again.
Not because I’m pissed off at the ending. I am, but beside the fact that I can’t like the canon!selves of Naruto and Sasuke anymore because of what they became with the ending I have just fallen in love with my own characters.
So when I think about Ugly Little Uchiha all I can think of is developing Menma, not the other people. The fact the other characters were so soiled by their creator makes my own OCs look too much better, so much so that with all the work I’m having to do in real life (college - got a final test tomorrow and I’m just starting another course that will eat my life until the 18th of this month- research, moving house) the only 2 things in writing that are actually being FUN to develop are Dragonkin and Heatstroke - and the latter because it’s an AU and if y’all read it you can see I took almost nothing besides names, a couple of psychological traits from the original characters, and a few references to isolated events in the manga from the original work. Everything else is mine.
So, yeah. Expect more Heatstroke when I get the urge (never forgetting it’s my “for fun” work, I only write it and publish it when the muse bothers me enough), and A LOT more Dragonkin, especially since the story has unfolded further in my head and what I’ve seen makes my fingers itch with the need to write.
I know most people I know here on Tumblr, including most of those who like my fanfics, don’t like the idea of original stories and won’t be happy that I’ll be devoting myself to mine, but hey, I don’t write to make other people happy. I’ve always wanted to be loved, not tolerated. That is true about my writing, too.
