- Kashiji's Explanation As To Why She Wrote This Uber Depressing Fan Fiction -
Hey there friends. Okay, I've read a lot of fan fictions in my life. That's the absolute truth because I'm as avid a reader as I am a writer. Well, I've always been a fan of shonen ai and yaoi fan fictions. I don't think there is enough anime out there with casual homosexual couples (by casual, I mean the entire story doesn't revolve around these two people being gay, you know?). Anyway, I'm getting off track. Also, as I was reading these fan fictions, I noticed that a lot of them were really good but they were kind of the same: one male character is in love with another male character, thinking that the other would hate them or think they were gross if they admitted their love, but the other character finds out and it turns out, TADA! They're in love with the other character too! So they have passionate sex where ever they happen to be at the time...
That was interesting about the first 274 times I read it. And even the 274th time, it was a little boring.
So, I thought, ' Isn't there something that I've never read before that I can write about?' That's where I came up with the idea that Sasuke was in love with Naruto, but Naruto didn't love Sasuke. Well, I don't think you want me to explain the entire thing; you should have read it by now. I'd never read anything like that before, so I thought I would try it out. I did, and you guys responded surprisingly well. It was while I was writing chapter five that I thought, ' Well, if Naruto doesn't love Sasuke, but he's going to have to kiss him eventually to keep the charade up, what can I do?' That's when one word popped into my head.
' Sakura.' Of course.
I didn't think at that time that I would actually kill poor Sasuke, but I knew I wanted to put in a bit of lemon (and since it was my first time writing lemon, I was a bit nervous to write about them going all the way...). So, with the lemon in mind, I remembered that Naruto was thinking about Sakura everytime he and Sasuke kissed. So, I thought again: ' Well, what if he made a bit mistake? What if he actually said Sakura's name? Well, what would Sasuke do if he did that...? Duh...'
It was depressing to kill Sasuke, but I knew that if I wanted to make Sasuke's cutter character consistant, I had to have him cut himself to death after finding out that Naruto didn't return his love. Of course, this led to me having to make Naruto's do-absolutely-anything-to-stop-Sasuke-from-hurting-himself character consistant, so Naruto became a cutter in the end as well. It's depressing, and I'm sorry. But, hey, what other fan fiction writer apologizes for killing characters?
I hope this "explanation" could clarify a bit as to why I made this fan fiction so sad: I just really wanted to do something different, and I wanted to do it well. Based on my reviews, I think I may have succeeded. Thanks to all my readers for putting up with this.
Sincerely,
Kashiji X3
P.S: God, that's a long title, isn't it?
