Well... okay, progress has officially gone backwards in my project that should allow me to start posting again, so who knows when I'll be able to post another chapter again. The explanation is... more than I can say here, but I have more to do before I can start posting again than I realized.

And, well, to be honest, I haven't been working with the story for... quite some time, although I do have a few unreleased chapters that I wrote quite a while ago. That doesn't mean I've quit writing (Ever try to write a short story, and its not until 10,000 words in that you've actually introduced most of the main characters, and then another 10,000 words before you reach what was supposed to be the START of the short story? Um, just as an example. On the plus side, there are kitsune in it... which is about as close as I've gotten to working on fiction in the Naruto field since... oh... um, a year? But I've learned a lot of things about kitsune in general which I may be able to use to refine the existing plans for the end... uh, if I ever get around to finishing the story. Sorry, I know that's not what you want to hear)

Someone is given an 'acting-chuunin' rank for a particular assignment of c-rank or better. If they succeed in accomplishing the mission, the promotion is made permanent. If they fail, they're usually either dead or busted back to chuunin for a minimum of six months." She grinned. "I've got a mission for you, and I sure hope I won't have to bust you back to genin afterwards."

This is from V2 chapter 5 - the bold and underlined phrase has a mistake. You have Tsunade say that they are promoted to acting chuunin, but if they fail, they're either dead or busted back to chuunin...I think that is supposed to say busted back to genin.

BTW Desaix, any chance of you posting the lemon chapter into the Fanfiction.net version of Training? I've seen much more graphic lemons than that on Fanfiction.net, and it's annoying to have to switch between FF.net and Mediaminer. Just something to consider. I've seen some hardcore lemons on FF.net, so I guarantee you won't get in trouble.

I have, too. But then I've seen (and HAD) some very popular fanfics that were less graphic than the lemons I've censored out be 'vanished' by the mods. It all depends on what gets reported (and there was a... well, I'm guessing from her username she was a woman, a few years back, who spent weeks going through my fanfics and reporting anything of mine with even a hint of sex in it, getting a large number of them deleted) and I'd rather not have to re-upload the entire fic because I ticked someone off enough to report me.

Maybe she's gone?

Oh well, I tried. Just would be nice, you know.

Hope the time is approaching when your website will be updated. But, don't worry, I like breathing so I won't hold my breath.

I am a girl, but I don't get offend by sex. She/He must have some Issue then if she did that to you. People think, I am weird, because I read Smut for fun. =.= So, that person is strange, if she/he did that to you



Oh, I can't wait until your fic get back up and running again. I been missing it desaix.

[Hopestar]

I haven't read your story in so long but when you do update I'll know. Also guys just in case you can't or lazy to find his story just look up my username: hopestar on FF.net scroll until you see community click and you'll H&E then clik that and perhaps you should go the last page and there you'll find Desaix's story.

[Whirlpool-Maelstrom]

Dang I have to read your stuff again, It's always good to read. And seriously someone going through your stories and censoring and reporting it, seems like a scornful NH/SS fan that wanted your piece of art out of the place. I gotta try to writte somethin on the M filter sometime to see something like that happens.

It probably wasn't some deranged NH\SS fan, considering all of the fics removed were taken off prior to my starting Training for the Job, and I hadn't been writing Naruto at the time. I did lose some Ranma fanfics, though, as well as a Kenshin fanfic. I probably would have even lost a Patlabor fanfic, if I hadn't already removed that one myself...

As far as my fanfic is concerned... I was re-reading it, myself, the other day, and I realized just how crappy it really is from a technical standpoint. Tons of spots that need editing just to smooth them out, lots of transposed names\words\pronouns, and so forth. I'm even guilty of one of my own pet peeves (although I know WHY I did it, I forgot to explain it; namely, the whole having Sakura referring to Naruto as Naruto-kun -- in point of fact, having her keep it as Naruto is more intimate; I wanted to explain that the 'kun' was added because Sakura wanted to make the statement to other people that she respected him while still addressing him in a moderately intimate way, and she would continue using no honorific when talking to him in private, but I never got that across and never actually did it the way I intended. *sigh*). I got several characterizations off. I did nothing with Akatsuki (admittedly because I knew nothing about Akatsuki at the time I started writing, and through the first 2/3s of the story).

There are lots of much better fanfics out there....

Ara, ara.... don't feel too bad. It's still a great fic to read!

What the guy above said! Believe it! Dattebayo!!

Hey, don't get to down on yourself, Desaix. Training was the best you could do on the information you had. And all in all, I say most of us on H&E here consider it "the bible" of NS. It is probably one of the best in characterization for most of the characters in Naruto and as far as I know, one of the longest and most decent stories out there.

[Yondaime's Son]

I wondered if I'd ever find "Training"'s author out there in my travels. You sir need to finish your story, or I personally shall envoke a summon contract to get a joint Jinchuriki/Gotei 13/Super Sentai assault squad to launch an EMP at your home!! We need a finish of that story and it's one of the FEW good stories on MM.org!!!

[shadow_Uzumaki]

Desaix actually has a legitimate reason for not being able to update; see his reasons on other pages.

[Yondaime's Son]

Fair point, but it doesn't mean I can't beg and plead for more, for the need of his art to fuel me to triumph... Besides, my contract runs out soon and it's one of those "use it or lose it" deals

[shadow_Uzumaki]

Heh, at least it's not one of those incessant and demanding fan 'whining'! XD

Some progress in my 'project,' which means I'm only about eight months behind schedule there, but nothing I can talk about yet. When it does come to fruition, though, I should have all of the "i"s dotted and "t"s crossed (and all the legal stuff worked out, or at least in process).

Sorry I can't say any more, yet.

You're serious? if that's the case then I should be ban as a fan fiction author because most of my stories have lemons, although I don't rush things just for the purpose of the lemon scene. I deepen the plot and the relationships between the characters until the right time to make a nice but romantic lemon.

EDIT: as for your friend I think she should get out more often you said that she was always checking your stories like she didn't had anything better to do.
