Only reason I ever saw that Sakura should join Akatski was cause she was feeling left behind. But honestly that don't really work unless one explains why she didn't go to Tsunade in the first place.

and for the three's company type fics(pairing plus one) I've yet to read one that develops the characters(forgive me wilson! i haven't read your one story yet!). Only half decent ones I have read are the triangle fics that surprisingly rare(Naruto loves Sakura, Sakura likes Naruto, Some other chick likes Naruto and presents compention for Sakura). Probably cause they often get flamed hard core

by the way, wonder if there any NaruSakuHina fics poping around since the lastest ending theme of shipuuden

The only good one I've read that comes to mind is 'Teamwork' which is a NaruSakuSasu, or NaruSasuSaku, or SasuNaruSaku or SasuSakuNaru or... You get the picture XD; Other than that, I usually cinge at the thought.

[True]

Ahh threesome fics. Personally I like almost ANY Naruto x girls (except Tsunade and Shizune because they are like family) pairings. Of course NaruSaku is my favorite and adding another girl to the mix is fun (NaruIno is my second fav. crack pairing, so I like NaruSakuIno).

Now NaruSakuIno is always fun to read. Sakura and Ino are both rivals who fought over Sasuke when they were younger. So whys it not fun to read about them being in a love triangle with Naruto when Sasuke doesn't give a damn about either of them? Naruto is seen as a guy who has lots of love to offer, and I can believe him in a certain pairing(s) as long as it is done right and for a legit reason.

And most guys will usually do/read a Naruto/Female/Female pairing because it's appealing to them. Naruto with two hot girls? Hell yeah! They don't want another guy in the mix! (If they don't like yaoi that is, and I'm sure that's all if not the majority)

Now to me I just see this as a gender thing. Boys seeing a guy with two girls is great, but to girls they don't like it. They want an emotional aspect to it instead of a sexual one. But the thing is most guys don't give a damn about the emotional connection. They see two hot girls making out, they are going to stare and drool. Girls are different. They like the emotional bond and connection between the two characters. That's why NaruSasu is so popular because they spin the characters rivalry/brotherly connection into something romantic.

Now I enjoy reading Naruto harem stories but there are things I cannot stand such as turning the females into sex slaves and all of them are bisexual. I see that just as bad as yaoi fangirls who turn every obvious het. character (Kakashi and Iruka) into homosexuals. Mind you, I don't go looking for yuri fics, but if a scene comes while I'm reading a certain story, then I'll read it. But if it's something about the "emotional" connection between the two, then I could care less. Yeah, shoot me, I'm a guy!

And as much as Team 7 are my favorite characters, I just don't see Sasuke as a romantic person. I absolutely cannot stand when authors bash him, but I do understand when he isn't paired up or romanticized because to me that's completely OOC for him.

So yeah threesome fics (M/F/F) are fun to read if they are love triangles and the pairings are done with a good believable reason and plot. All standard rules for a fanfic also apply.

that kinda reminds me of one I read a while ago. First chapter is a leamon, but kinda delve into the emotional aspect of the woman that is Sakura It goes on to explain that she still loved Sasuke, but also fell in love with Naruto. Had some building on that Naruto found that he could love Sasuke too.
Of course Sasuke was not in Konoha(it being during part 2) but has some um.. moments of Sakura proclaiming how she would love to feel both Naruto and Sasuke with her.

um back on topic, I have to say I hate polls on pairings, deaths or even worse the plot!

[MelisaArtemis]

POLL ON PAIRINGS!! I despise that more than anything except Yaois. If people gonna make a fanfic, you'd better be ready to have some hate thrown at you because they don't like the pairing, its just natural. Giving a poll for pairing only means 1 thing for me: YOU'RE A CHICKEN-WUSS!!

Well, I don't like M/F/M if it has no emotional basis because it's no longer about the character, it's all about the smex appeal. Girls are just as guilty of writing yoai for those reasons, not because the two characters actually have something going for them, it's cause it's hot. It's also sad to think that guys don't care for emotional connections. It gives me a vibe that guys don't really care for how girls feel, they just want them to have them and to see them with each other. I respect guys enough not to think this of them, which is why I'll very rarely read girl x multiple guy fics.

You can like it, there's no problem, but it just doesn't feel like a good story, and it's one of those things that in my mind makes for a bad fanfiction. Lemons/limes with very little backstory and disregard for the characters make it just that, a lemon. Now it could be just my age, but something like that is a put off, and is too porno like for my tastes. Most girls will love a guy too much to be able to stand him loving anyone else. Guys usually never consider the possibility of 'sharing' the one they love either, whether it be with another girl or guy.

And--Guys have the ability to write good, emotional pairings too. It was a guy who wrote Equinox and the prequals and such, I've seen guys write beautiful, real-life love in the Inuyasha fandom.

And like you said that Sasuke isn't a romantic guy--Sakura is not going share any guy. She's proven that with her rivalry with Ino, Naruto would be no different ESPECIALLY if she was serious about him. I hate the characterization in harems and such. That's a major hate of mine, because throughout the entire thing it's OOC, there's no plot, no anything, that can make it possible. And I don't care if you're a guy or a girl, you come up to me and tell me you've been in a relationship while with me, I'd shoot you down, and then probably go and cry. It must be a girl thing.

[catsi563]

So far only one story ive read has pulled off a believable love triange between Sakura, Ino, and Naruto. And its called ""I well belive."" It has a really strong Story that emphasizes the feelings of the characters instread of any smut.

Otherwise I personaly depsise alternate parirings, Hate Dark naruto stories ((hes not angsty I dont care hes about pushing past the angst)), and I hate any story where Naruto hurts Sakura intentionaly. Its jsut not realistic.

Only story ive seen that I loved was ""A Souls Salvation"" (where Naruto does hurt sakura emotionaly) but he turns around. it was a tough read at first but it got so much better at the end.

[roninmedia]

Naruto/Sakura fics where Naruto tells her to sleep with someone else. That is not NaruSaku. They make Naruto who has worked all his life for Sakura's affection is that of a doormat when it comes to others.

Or the ones where he lets Sasuke kill him.

Sorry if someone already said,

but I reallly hate it when people dont have their own plot. They just start the series over only with their own conditions. There are some very good stories with really good ideas that do this. Sorry if I offend anyone, but Human Contact, I think it's called, is a VERY good idea, very original and the author knows how to right. I can't stand it though. I hate it when stories start at the academy, and go through every single arc that the series went through.

Its sooo boring!
I dont care if instead of Haku almost killing Sasuke he almost killed Sakura, its still the same thing!


Sorry if I offended anyone.

[Kamina-Yoshi]

I absolutely hate when they have Naruto suddenly fall head-over-heels for Hinata, like if she does something to save him, he would just say "Thanks, Hinata!" not "Hey, let's go make you bear my children now!" For gods sake, he's not Jiraiya. He's a ninja, not the mixture of Hannibal Lectur and Mr. Rogers. (OHSNAP I WENT THERE.)

It happened in the doujin where they fight some kind of hair demon/witch, and there is a NaruSaku alternate ending. However, it makes Naruto seem like such a kittening moron. A boy like Naruto would NEVER EVER STUDDER AND THINK "oh, so cute" if she whimpers or she doesn't look, or blushes.


We aren't morons, girls. We don't think "oh, so cute", we think "why the hell is she looking at my crotch".

Question: What is the logic for Naruto purposely acting like a dumbass and failing all his classes?

I really don't buy the "he's actually really good, he just wants people to underestimate him" excuse.

No offense, but that is the most egotistical lazy reasoning that I've ever read. I'm willing to go a little bit further and call it OOC. Naruto is many things but he never been the type of ninja to rely on deception and guile. Sure he's unpredictable but only because he's spontaneous and thinks on his feet, not because of some master plan.

Also, I really have a problem with Team 7 dynamics, especially if there's a team pairing involved. I've read too many fics where two members of Team 7 will be the best of buddies and the third member would be treated like garbage. Also, the third member sudden becomes a raging a**hole to justify the treatment. Then the other two hide things, insult the third person and generally ignore their existence.

:rolleyes:

Not much of a team.

Word. If you have to do it though, I really like how digifruit handled it in Get Glory in this Hand. They still went to Wave Country but if it the scene wasn't substantial to the new character dynamic then it was gone. There are too many stories that really get stuck in the Wave Country Chuunin Arc areas. So much potential wasted.

I have to agree it is kinda boring. Sometimes I'll skip though some scenes and then well. Big yawn, I only read the scenes that author added.

Like when Kakshai going crazy or other funny stuff. Also a chapter that have nothing to do with the arcs. I like that!

But repeating some scenes are boring. It's a total give away. You know what's going to happen in the next arc already what's the point of reading about it when you know what's going to happen.

I don't like it when it the same thing every arc repeating story. I like it when you keep your readers guessing!

Ok, I personally don't have a grudge against crossovers, heck I read and likes them if they are extraordinarily done. Something like Troika Parallel is something that I can honestly give a thumb up or our own Wilson's I Live On is something that I can review once in a while.

The Point is I don't give a hell about how the author make the story but at least makes it make some damn sense!! You do NOT see guns in Naruto for a reason, or even a CITY named London. Konoha is freakin huge but they still call it VILLAGE. its already revealed too that there are only 5 Major Countries and just a few small countries here and there in Naruto world, so where does England comes from? or United States? I only have 1 advice for those authors: Give the world a favor and Go to Hell ASAP

Wow Blacklightning, tell us how you really feel.

I've never had a problem with the amount of "crap" stories. In fact there are so manydecent to excellent NaruSaku stories with absolutely no reviews. I think compared to all the popular pairings NaruSaku has the smallest reader base.

I heard there is one out there where Optimus Prime was sealed inside of him. For the most part doing such things is bad, bad idea, but I think fics like that have possibilties....so long as the author doesn't take it too seriously.

Ok, more people that are seriously pissing me off!

1. People who write stories, and on the very FIRST chapter, they comment and say "I will not update until i have fifty {or a hundred, ur choice} reviews!", meanwhile everyone hates this author's story anyway, so he decides to make another chapter saying how he or she isn't going to count bad reviews.

2.Yeah ok, when people make Sakura bash Naruto to freaking hell throughout like an entire chapter. Claim it's a Narusaku story, and then within 1 chapter they get together even after Naruto has gone through major depression.

Only one story i know has done this well and i like, which would be 'Fury, Guilt, and Love' but it is much more spaced out and things are well written. I must add Craine, the author of this story, is a Sakura basher, yet he has swallowed it and perfectly put Sakura down as how she should be. Except in the first chapter, he may have gone a bit overboard there.

Anyway my point is, stop putting these dumb thought into the heads of dumb teenagers who will read your stories and like it because their judgement is as bad as your writing, and then go out and try this and expect to have a girlfriend or boyfriend within a day.

I do apologize for swearing, but i am tired of people pissing me off on Fanfiction.



Edited for swearing.
I completely understand that you're kinda P.O.-ed, but please try to use substitutionary words. Thanks! (:

lots of spelling mistakes. the story sounding like a second hand tale of what someone did last Saturday night(no real description, just moving from one thing to the next). wall of text. characters that are being taken out of their original context w/o it being humorous. lots of grammatical errors. a fic that was written just for the sake of being written.
