How Not To Write a SakuSasu Fic

Intro:

Talks about how Sakura's some hot shot scary macho chick, usually involving ANBU captain or hunter nin. Talks about how beautiful and curvaceous she is. Talks about the billions of fan boys she has. And, the main number one thing that most readers hate, Sakura completely going OOC. "Oh she's so cold now!" "oh she's such a hot babe!" "oh, she's changed! She only survives on tea and lemon cup cakes!" That my friends… is really really annoying. OR if she has some super powerful bloodline that her family and not even the Hokage knew about! Dun dun dun. It's ok to have her mature.. but you don't want to go completely off the scale. It becomes its own story that you should go and publish in FictionPress. The point is to portray the characters with just a little change. And also remember that we left Sakura off with Tsunade training her as her apprentice… Ideal Sakura's are usually skilled medic nins.

Rising Action:

Sakura and Naruto go on a mission to retrieve Sasuke or he comes back. If they go on the retrieval mission, then Sakura shows off her extreme prowess and beats Orochimaru and Itachi on a two on battle to the death! HIYA! Or if Sasuke comes back, he's also really really OOC with a smile and sexy smirk! He usually tries wooing Sakura because after two days… he fell inlove with her! If the fic is really bad, the next chapter is usually when Sasuke and Sakura have mad hot passionate sex!

Climax:

Usually… there is no climax… I mean sometimes you'll get like.. some random new village attacking. But then Sakura and Sasuke finish them off with one hand tied behind their backs! Dun dun dun!

Falling Action:

Sasuke and Sakura get married and having little Uchiha babies and everyone lives happily ever after. Usually over the course of the story, Sakura reverts back to her old self and Sasuke gets even more macho and buff. End of story.

So you see… that whole one page thing was totally boring… Imagine like… five chapters of the hot steamy sex scene.. um one chapter on Sakura's icy cold change! Like.. seven chapters on their romance. And about two paragraphs give or take on the battle with Orochimaru and Itachi.

You may not realize that your making one of these stupid stories… I'm not saying to stop making cold Sakura changes completely… but just try not to.. do that 'points up'. Who knows… some super talented person could make a really really good SasuSaku fanfic and prove me wrong… then shove it into my face. If you do.. then by all means… shove all you want, it'd be a good story.

I recommend…
