I've been hearing some people asking about where H&E is headed, now that the manga is finished. The ending took everyone by surprise, to say the least, and it's still an extremely controversial topic for the entire Naruto fandom.
First of all, I would like to say that Heaven & Earth will always remain as a NaruSaku shipping site!
H&E was created by passionate NaruSaku fans, and it has always had a strong NS community that has posted lots of great topics, fanarts and fanfics! I know that some of us still care very much about Naruto and Sakura, and we still care about the Naruto characters and story before the whole New Era storm hit. We've built up a really strong identity as a fandom here, and we risk losing that if we change.
So, that is why H&E will not switch to shipping any other pairings or fandoms. There are - or will be - other websites and communities that focus on those, both from Naruto and the New Era.
I would like to plan a new direction for H&E; a focus on fanworks and the community! It would be great to have a new positive direction that everyone can enjoy, no matter what happens with the official Naruto and New Era franchise. That way, we can continue to enjoy talking and posting new stuff!
If you'd all like to see H&E putting out lots of new content for you all to enjoy, you can help with ideas and feedback! Please post what you would like to see from H&E, such as ideas for contests and challenges, new topics, new forums and so on! Two ideas I can think of would be drabble challenges and a possible Alternative Endings forum.
Thanks for reading, and I'd really like to hear your thoughts.
