No problem! 
I think it's insulting to see Kishimoto use Minato and Kushina as simple plot devices to mislead his readers. It's an insult to the fans, and you just don't do that to people who your readers. I especially hated it because Minato and Kushina were two of my favorite characters in the Naruto series and it's pretty heartbreaking to see them treated that way. At the very least they shouldn't have been misled into believing their son turned out the way they wanted to. Kishimoto did a disservice to his characters and his readers by doing that.
I know, I really loved Min/Kushi, and they absolutely were a parallel to NS. I think Kishimoto's trashing that parallel was done just to validate NH. But for me it's just the opposite — distancing Naruto from those parallels and admitting that he wasn't following his mom's advice just proves that NS was the OTP until Kishi/SP screwed it up at the end with NH.
Those all sound awesome, Tricksie! And I'm glad they're all NS. One could be a little worried since there are some SS ones in your favorites section 
Don't worry! The SS ones in my faves are cause they're well-written and convincing. I actually don't mind SS, but only in fanfics where he's written as more compassionate and caring than his canon character.... So if I like Sasuke in fanfics when he's completely different, then that's the same as not liking the manga Sasuke at all, right?
hahaha!
Seriously, a few fanfics helped me see a different side of some of the characters, like Sasuke and Gaara, which helps me write them better. But Naruto and Sakura always have such good chemistry, in almost every fix I've read it's hard to be convinced that they should be with someone else!
No problem!
I'm only a recent member to ff.net, and never really explored the communities in it. I wasn't even aware this forum had a community over there. Most of the time, I found new NS stories by reading a story, and if I liked it, id finish it and then look through that authors favs to see if they had any NS stories there. I'm not really sure where to go to find new NS stories, any new ones that I read are pretty much recommended by an author called azfaerydust, at the end of each chapter of one of her stories, she recommends an NS fic to read.
If you were to start one, I would totally be interested! I think it's a great idea!
Yeah, I've found most of my favorite stories by checking out the faves of author's I like. So the community thing isn't always the best. But since there are so many new fics out there, it might be nice to have a new H&E community!
