Image13 Stories
I just recently started to stick my nose in Tumblr more actively. And I realised I started to like it (not too excited, but it's kind of ok). There are so many people and content going on, so why not let myself go with the flow? And organise it somehow. 🤭
I have profiles in both Ao3 and Fanfiction.net:
🌞 Archive of Our Own - Image13 🌞 🌕 Fanfiction.net - Image13 🌕
The profile in FF.net doesn't contain everything, because it's harder to manage the posting system. Also, I've been flooded with offers to get myself a "commission artist" to turn my story (never mentions which story, though – it's the first sign that a template has been used and no reading happened) into a comic. That simply aggravates me. But I must admit there are some wonderful stories I love that haven't been reposted to Ao3.
ANYWAY!
I really love keeping things tidy and easy to find (mostly for myself). I didn't invent this; rather I stole the idea, so here it is:
Short stories/ one shots:
💚 A Wonderful Night 💚 (Kurotshuchi & Naruto) 🌹 "Please Look at Me" 🌹(Hinata and Naruto) 🩰 Dancing For You 🩰 (Inojin & Shikadai) 🖤 The Mora 🖤 (it involves Temari and Shikamaru, but in not really a romantic way) ❄️ When the Snow Falls ❄️ (Shikamaru & Temari) ✎ᝰ📓 Secrets Woven in the Pages 📓ᝰ✎ (Ino & Sai; Inojin)
Finished multichapter stories:
꩜ My face... His face... ꩜ I feel obliged to say a few words here. This text was written a long time ago. I knew almost nothing about Kakashi. I created this character in my head and Kakashi just fell into the right place according to my view at the time. The story is a personal challenge in the sense that it's written in first POV. It's sad. It's heavy. It's one of the least read stories on my lists. And I can see why – even for me it's hard to go back and revise it.
🔆 Unmask Yourself 🔆 (UY) My love and pride — this story means a lot to me. It's clumsy in places, too wordy (especially in the first chapters until @clumsydragon28 took over editing it), too descriptive and many, many more (both negative and positive). There are a lot of characters — many of them background characters — and a couple of original ones. It has taught me a lot. I'm thankful for its existence. Fun fact: it all started from a dream of Tenten attacking Kankuro. I'm sure whoever opened it did so because of the promise of the Temari & Shikamaru pair. I'm infinitely grateful to all of them who stayed despite all of the additions to ShikaTema.
🪽 Reflection 🪽 The story follows Shikamaru and Temari on their way to finding mutual language and eventually falling in love. Last year my dear friend deserved a special gift for her birthday (everyone does). And this story was born as a mere idea while looking at one of her early drawings. It was supposed to be a one shot... Well, it's not.
WIPs:
ᰔᩚ Story of Confession ᰔᩚ (SoC) This one has a long story itself. It has been rewritten a few times and now is in the process of yet another revision. I hope I'll be at least partly satisfied and stop doing this… Oh, yeah, the story has Kankuro and Tenten as a pair (I love this ship). This one has had its share of readers' attention, and I know there are people who actually like it a lot. So I want to do it better for them and for me.
💻 A Lifechanging Game 💻 If I have to be completely honest, I thought this story would get much more attention. To my surprise it hasn't gotten even 60 views; thus, my motivation in finishing it disappeared. I won't even mention that it was supposed to be a gift to someone who didn't really take any interest in it. So either the story sucks, or the lack of a rating of M and above just doesn't attract people. Anyway! Basically what I tried to do was combine the Naruto Universe and the WoW Universe. I involved Konoha 7 (Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke, and some of the others) in playing WoW and interacting through the game. The intention was to show how Sakura's life changes. On permanent standby. I'm not sure what should happen to finish this one.
💗🤍 Unmask Yourself: No fear 🤍💗 (UY: NF) It's a continuation of the original Unmask Yourself, but it follows Shee and Ruka. I fell in love with this pair, and I really want to write their story. Whoever read UY knows what I'm talking about. I'm working on it in my spare moments and I'll keep working on it until I finish it.
📖📚 Love Followed Softly 📚📖 (LFS) This one came to me after I started a short story for Tenten's week in March. It turned into a multi-chapter thingie with an unknown yet number of chapters. More than ten so far live in my draft. It's a slow burn about Tenten and Kankuro falling in love with the help of books (yes, erotics, too). There are some obstacles in their way, but they would eventually manage to overcome them.
I have some WIPs that I haven't published, both fanfictions and original stories. I'll keep updating this post (eventually) and add them at some point.
I must admit that there are people who have been by my side for the last year and a half or two. You've got no idea what these poor people endure around my mood swings from hyper to depressive. I have a tendency to overlook myself and never be satisfied with what I do. I know many people suffer like I do. I'm not unique. This, however, doesn't make it better.
But I'm trying.
I'm writing because I feel at peace; I feel at ease. When I focus and my fingers dance on the keyboard, everything stills and I can hear myself; I can breathe. It's wonderful. So I'll keep doing it.
To all my angels: @phoenixleaf, @clumsydragon28, @servenna, @twnj. There are other people who brighten my days. Girls, thank you, too!
Hurts...
