Great story! Kudos for the style of the story - especially how well you used the point of view - and for the well-depicted gradual growth of Tenten's character

Thanks for writing! )

LOVED IT! especially the part about "batshit insane maito gai" hahaha and tai da! are you taiwanese too? XD

I'm not a huge Neji/Tenten fan for a multitude of reasons, but I have to say this is a well-written and fun short fic. Your grammar and spelling is wonderful, and your phrasing and continuity is really good. It's a little choppy in the beginning where you use parentheses a lot - but don't get me wrong! I like the way you used them, but it was slightly inconsistent and that made it a little confusing. But only a little. It didn't seem like you just tacked on the Neji/Tenten at the end, really, although you're right, there was a lot more standalone introspective/character study stuff in there than your standard romance.

Good stuff, nice AU idea.

Very good AU. (: Awesomely sweet, as well. The only part of the story that I was little unable to handle was the spelling of 'Tiang'.

By any chance, are you Chinese/Taiwanese?

From the moment I read - "Neji tells Rock Lee that fate has made him a sub-par bass player. Tenten tells Neji he can take his fate and shove it up somewhere that will require a prostate examination to remove it." I realised that this was going to be a damn good story. How right I was. *sighs* If only i could write 'deep and introspective' character studies ... then my English teacher (who's a master at the "I am such a scary headmistress that my look will make you pee in your pants" look, complete with the glasses tilting motion, narrowing eyes and tight-lipped menacing frown) will no longer be forever glaring knitting needles at me. Great job btw!

My thoughts: I don't care whether you're incapable of writing non-AU pieces for Naruto. This is great.

As a cellist, I agree completely with Tenten. Vivaldi is far more rewarding than Mozart. Mozart's only fun to play if you're a violinist.

Very original, very beautiful. I especially loved the ending, with the article and how they had a nationwide tour.

Ohmigosh. Marry me, plzkthanx.

Just kidding. But I really loved it. Tenten is a cellist, and that in itself made fans of Tenten who are also cellists (because I'm not the only one. Right? Right?) almost die of happiness. And I'm sure Lee would be a kick-ass bassist. Only one thing I had a problem with: "(All Tiang Tiang needs is this instrument, the noises it makes, the way it bends the air and springs back in a sort of joyful, triumphant shout that makes her ears all but burst.)" I'm sure you meant the noise of the cello, but it seemed a little unclear, and I got a fairly amusing mental picture of a cello bending air and then springing back.

Other than that, it was amazing. Great job.

Cool, I loved that Tenten and Nejis' obsession and drive to become ninja has been swapped with music. It works so well, as I really think that Tenten is the musical type XD

Haha Temari, silly girl, making fun of Tenten.

anyway good one.

xo

Yay.

c:

very nice! two thumbs up!

Haha, it is rather AU, but I like it :D

It's well done and very poetic.
