Update as of 1/6/2017: Looks like I've been hit by the Fanfiction police!
Basically, this story is not allowed to be on this site. Now since this still has some readers every now and then, I've moved it to AO3 under the same penname, drunkdragon. So it's still there, though you may have to navigate a bit. I am leaving my author notes below, though, so I have something to refer to if I somehow need it. Thank you for all your support and understanding.
Alright. I will admit that I have do very poorly when it comes to updating stories. College plus job times distractions equal low writing output. The Produce Shinobi chapter is still in the works, maybe 40 percent done. However, I don't want others to think that I have disappeared from the planet. I love Gunz and I really like what I did with the story, so I intend to finish it; whether I have to drag myself kicking and screaming is another thing. It will be done. And if not, then I'll put up a timeline of what I had planned to occur in the story so that at least those who have patiently waited are not left in the dust to ponder about what happens.
However, I have a different reason to putting this story up. I worked on this oneshot during winter break and a little after it before finally getting it beta'd. I put it up on AFF . net because of its content and let it sit there. Eventually, however, the idea of coming to FF . net to see if there were any Haruhi lemons crossed my mind. When I took a look at some of the stories, however, I was not satisfied with what I saw. I am not trying to say that the stories I viewed were bad. They followed the basics of story writing and were fairly well written. However, I feel that they missed a very important yet subtle point in their stories.
In my opinion, Haruhi fics needs to stray at least a little bit from the normal set up of a story. All details must be displayed since in the anime no details are hidden. You do not find out halfway through the series that so and so character is afraid of heights and must overcome his fear to accomplish a goal. Instead, everything about the main character, Kyon, is laid out right on the second episode. Also, this is not a suspense or action story; this is one of character development. Therefore, two things are vital to the story: the main character's thoughts (most likely to be Kyon), and how the other characters are affected by the events and their own reactions as well as their relation to the main character. With the way the author created the series, fanfic authors cannot easily create a story that focuses specifically between Kyon and Haruhi while still giving the feel of the anime episodes or story books. And finally, this series needs a deep analysis of both the immediate and subtle details and actions.
Alright, I'm done with my two cents.
Thanks to SolAtrus for betaing this fic a while ago.
Onward!
