I'm mostly writing for the Naruto fandom. Preferred pairings are -

NaruSaku

SasuKarin

SasuHina

NejiTen

LeeTen

NejiHina

- in no particular order. I am not opposed to writing other romantic pairings just as long as I think they can make each other better, or properly support one another.

I'm strongly anti-SS, but that's because I just can't believe in the pairing. Sakura's growth is stunted in the face of Sasuke and she is never really happy thinking about him. I was anti-Sakura for the longest time and I eventually realized it wasn't because Sakura was a bad character, it was because her writer never gave her chances to overcome her weakness. She had a shot, but time and time again her past affection for Sasuke made her submissive and much too meek in his presence. The only good thing - to me - that comes from this pairing is Sarada, not because I like the idea of her parents together, but it's because her parents are who they are that I think she can grow from it and be a better character. I can write it, I just have no love for it, they don't do anything positive for me as a writer. Sarada SS in general imo.

NaruHina I don't really -hate- but after how she got her husband handed to her just like Sakura, I just don't really feel too strongly for the pairing. It's not that Naruto is as toxic for Hinata as Sasuke is for Sakura, they're just a really boring couple. I was never fond of the silent, big-breasted archetypes that don't show significant growth or ambition, and any opportunity Hinata had to grow as a woman and a ninja was constantly stunted when Naruto was relevant. Hinata is just Naruto's wife in canon, she became little else and has nothing else to speak for. I dislike that wasted potential, and Kishimoto disappointed me both in the lack of developing this pairing he apparently always intended to make canon, and how Hinata was nothing more but a pairing tool in the end.

Noticing the pattern? NaruHina is better than SasuSaku to me, but both are just boring, and the characters do little for each other. Sakura can be strong and outspoken UNTIL Sasuke puts her down. Hinata can be highly capable and care about other people UNTIL Naruto is in her mind and presence. I can handle the latter, but the former just kills me inside and I don't even like Sakura that much - not Kishimoto's Sakura, anyway. I love the world-building in Naruto, but cannot stomach the wasted potential of so many characters.

The women in Naruto definitely deserved better, I hope to give them that whenever I can.

All this said, I think you can ship whatever the hell you want, just don't shove it down someone else's throat and harass them.

I -love- reviews. People taking some time out of their day to tell me what they think about the content I provide really warms my heart even more than follows and favorites. It's sometimes disappointing I can get both the latter, but never the former. If you enjoyed my content, please tell me why if you have some time, I love hearing what you enjoyed, what more you hope to see, what emotions you felt. Never underestimate how you can make an author feel by doing something so simple, and it only takes a minute of your time!

My stories are almost always going to contain slow, careful development until getting to points dramatic and intimate are most appropriate. If you expect easy, rushed sex scenes and resolutions to problems in the story met within a few chapters, you are wasting your time here and I'm sure there are a hundred other writers willing to sate your hunger for it. I don't like easy routes to rewards, I like working for it, I like my audience seeing me working for it and being able to appreciate the time that goes into these things. If you do not like stories with a lot of build-up and work, I suggest you look elsewhere for authors more willing to get you to that point within a chapter or two, I'm not one of them.

All of this being said, I'd like to think of myself as a nice guy, so if you just want to talk a little then shoot me a message for advice or just to talk about shared interests.
