Prologue
This page just answers general questions about the story itself. It can be skipped. If you do have a question, read this page! If you have a question not answered here, ask it in a review.
Setting – Naruto is 19 years old. This story is accurate up to chapter 361 in the manga. It will try to continue to manga as much as possible. However, if a character dies or Konoha is destroyed, there is nothing that can be done. Explaining events over the past 3 years will be kept to a minimum as to not conflict with possible manga events.
What are the pairings? - There are no set pairings. I write this story one chapter at a time, one sentence at a time. It has already changed direction from chapter 1 to 3. It will continue to evolve as I write it. You will have to read it to find out. There may end up being no pairings at all.
But the characters listed are Naruto and Sakura! That means they are a pair! - It does not. They are the two main characters. This does not mean they will be paired.
Is Sasuke in this story? - You have to read and see. I am not going to reveal future events.
Why is the rating mature? - Because it gives the maximum freedom to write what I want. The story may turn out to have no mature elements in it, but it might. There is probably not going to be anything worthy of the mature rating but I don't want to fret over fitting into the teen category.
How long will the story be? - Unknown. I don't have an outline. I don't have notes. It is written one chapter at a time. It will be at least 10-12 chapters long. That is all I can say for now.
What is going to happen next? Can you post a preview? - No and no. I already said that I write it one sentence at a time. While I have a general idea what is going to happen, it can and does change. I would much rather post a chapter then fret about a preview.
How quickly do you update? - The first 10 chapters should be complete within a month. It is difficult to say. As time goes on, updates will probably slow down. I will try and keep my profile/bio up to date on when the next chapter is coming.
Please post reviews. I would like to hear of grammar mistakes, plot holes, your feelings on the writing style, where you think I could improve, how a character's personality wasn't quite right, how I nailed a scene perfectly, how I kept you in suspense, how I was too predictable, etc.
Finally, if you can't get enough. Check out the "Chapter Notes" in the last chapter slot. I will be posting my thoughts and other chapter specific notes there. It will be updated as I post each chapter or soon after.
