Will it drop to 1?

It can't. It's mathematically impossible. Because the lowest you can rate it is one star and there are already higher ratings, which effects the average score. We could get really really close to a one star rating if all future scoring is one star but we'll never actually get to 1 star. 

Why isn't 0 stars an option, huh? Then we could get down to a 1 star average!

Hello All! It's so great to meet you and have you stop by to check out what this project is all about. And I really hope it intrigues you as much as it did me.

At the Beginning: Like any beginning writer I took to the internet to keep my fingers busy. At first I tried my hand at things like fanfiction or short stories, but writer's block and OOC characters plagued me. I roleplayed, on sites like Gaia, for years, and unfortunately things always seemed to sizzle out. People just didn't seem to be invested in the story they were telling (especially if they weren't the star, but I digress). But even then I was still interested in the concept of community writing, of getting a group of people together to create something out of nothing.

And then I met Greed. After we talked more and more, Greed and I learned that we both enjoyed writing and that it was something we truly had stock in. I was a captive audience as he described a writing experience that I had been looking for for a long time.

And if the fundamental idea of writing a story together wasn't enough, his story and characters were enough to seal the deal. I had already fallen in love with the story when he invited me to critique and write for the world he had created, and I felt honored and an intricate part of the process.

My Baby: From that moment, Zachariah Cole was born. I knew from the beginning, much to Greed's surprise, that I wanted to play an interesting male character that would help the audience see Greed's world the way I did, something mystical, dangerous and exciting. Zachariah, or Zeek, is a character that I am excited to share with everyone and to write about. You can expect mischief, crass, a hint of reluctance, and a strange sense of morality. I can only hope that I achieve my goal of using him to provide information to the reader that will enrich their experience.

The Invite: Please join us. As a reader, a writer, a critic, a cheerleader. There really are a million ways to be involved in this project.

Talk to you all real soon!

I agree with this 100%

My Message To Kishi...

What do Naruto and Hinata even have to talk about though? I just see a lot of awkward family dinners.

"Hello Naruto-kun."

"Hello dear."

"How was work today?"

"Same as always."

"I made meatloaf."

Until the bitter end, my friends!

Wow, the trend seems to be pretty gloomy. I hope all your days brighten up a bit!

Curently, I'm feeling a little unproductive. But that's because I'm at work. lol. On the other hand I'm feeling creative. I'm getting the itch to write again! So I hope to pick up a pen and start writing.

I had a little time to doodle so I drew my two favorite couples in my fanfic

 

This is so cute! I hope we'll get to see a colored version someday!

I'm really not worried about Sakura. But maybe I'm in happy denile. Like, there is no way my favorite character is going to die. Oh-no! Not happening!

I mean, she might get seriously injured but I doubt it will result in death. With Obito there I doubt he will let another Rin moment happen right before his eyes. And Naruto, it seems, has the ability to enter the Kumai dimension as he wishes now. So he could always save Sakura. Which I think is unlikely but a girl can dream.

What I really hope for is for a moment for Sakura to hold her own. This would be a rare opertunity for Kishimoto to really let her character shine and show just how much she has actually progressed. Do I think it'll happen that way? No. Do I hope like there is no tomorrow that Sakura has a moment in the spotlight? Hell yeah!

As far as Sasuke saving Sakura... I just don't see it happening. I mean, I could be totally wrong, but I think Sasuke has always been a 'tunnel vision' type of character. And I think what's in his line of vision right now is Madara and Madara only. I mean in each goal he has undertaken he has not hesitated to step over (or through) his comrads. He's tried to kill everyone from Konoha, Naruto and Sakura mostly, his own members of Hebi, and Oroch. What's to say that he would suddenly change his behavior pattern to save Sakura?

It's been a while since I have offered you guys some gems. Hope you like these!

Gems!

 

So I decided to do my first art trade!!! I'm really excited but I am also feeling the pressure! I really want it to be good for the person I am doing it for. My prompt is 'Sakura healing Naruto on the battlefield' or 'Naruto and Sakura kissing during the war.'

The thing I'm most worried about is the clothing though. I haven't really drawn Sakura or Naruto in the clothing they wear in the manga so that'll be fun to practice. 

 

I never thought I'd get the chance to meet my half brother. I also have step sisters thanks to both my parents getting remarried, but I never saw my half brother because his birth is why my parents got divorced in the first place. My father decided to have a one night stand and bam instant baby brother. Both my parents never spoke about my brother. My dad tried to have a relationship with him but he gave up too easily because the women whom he had an affair with wanted them to be a family since my mom left my dad. My father wanted nothing to do with her and it's because of her obsession with my dad that he just kinda gave up on a relationship with his only son. I never, and still don't agree with what my father did. If I were him I would have put her in her place and said that my sole reason for interacting with her is to take care of my son, not to play house with her. Anyhow I waited until my brother, Chris, was old enough to were no one could tell him to stay away. With some help from my mom I was able to contact him and to my surprise he always wanted to meet my sister and I, but his mother knew nothing about us, and he felt odd asking our dad. Either way I'm happy that I get to have a relationship with him now, even if he's a hardcore NH shipper XD

It's amazing the life stories that different people have. But I'm happy that you are able to kindle a relationship with your little brother. That's the things that really matters. I'm sure he is excited that he's an uncle too. :)

Still a dull wedding by Dothraki standards though...

Episode 2!

So this chapter took me for an emotional rollercoaster ride.

Gia's sacrifice was beautiful. Even the way he was going out was well drawn and an amazing ending, maybe even the best ending, for a shinobi in this series. Seeing take up his father's mantra in the flashback was very touching. And having him finally be recognized, not only by the man he was fighting, but by his life long rival was also a nice final gesture. Not to mention his awesome final move. It was his perfect ending... And then Naruto shows up and it's all going to be hunky-dory from here on out.

I mean... We've seen this death coming. This was going to be a great sacrifice. But no, no one dies, except Neji...

I don't want to sound like a b**** but come on! I was seriously welling up with tears. And the entire build up was like... for nothing. Sigh.

That being said, it still makes sense for Naruto to save Gai's life. I mean Naruto's conversation with Hagoromo was basically him saying he wants to save his friends. And of course I'm glad that Gai isn't dead...

I don't know. For me it cheapened Gai's efforts. But moving on...

So I have to say in regards to NS that I got more than I expected but less than I hoped for. Of course it is great that we got to see a parallel with SK and NS. And there is a war going on, so you know, first things first. The waiting game continues.

I think that Sakura and Obito are with Naruto already. I say this because Naruto and Sasuke both say "Let's go!" And I really don't think they are talking to each other. But who knows...

Mixed feelings on the power ups too, at least regarding Sakura. I mean her joining Team 7 in the fight was about how she had finally caught up to them and how Team 7 was going to work together again. JK, Sakura, you're behind again. But I mean I just feel this way because Sakura is my favorite.

I am use to the parallels between Naruto and Sasuke now, so that part doesn't bother me anymore. I'm looking forward to see how they work together and how their rivalry will work out. Also, we still don't know what Sasuke wants from all of this. We aren't clear on what Sasuke told Hagoromo his goals were.

Anyways, in all, I liked the chapter and didn't like it. But once again I can't wait until next weeks chapter. Should be very exciting!!!
