Viridian Dreams Forum Recommendation List: Naruto Category
  Follow . 
Focus: Anime/Manga Naruto, Since: 05-19-09
A list of fics recommended by the gang at S'TarKan's [Author of Team 8 and Nightmares of Future Past] forum - we read far too many. Any genre and length. Unlikely to be much yaoi. All that matters is it's good. Remember to change the fiction rating to 'All' as many of the stories are rated above T. Note to staff: We now have a selection criteria, go the the forums to nominate a fic to add. |
