---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rejected Characters and why:
1. Gaara: As much as I'd love to do Gaara, I simply can't find that much personality to work with without going extremely OoC. If someone wants to help me write his chapter, (as in let me bounce ideas off of them) I'd probably be able to add a chapter for him in.
2. Chouji: Though both he and Shikamaru could both be described as some of Naruto's first friends, I'm never sure of his personality. Because he makes relatively few appearances in the manga compared to other characters, I have to rely on the personality portrayed in fanfiction.
Because his fanfic persona is constantly being changed, I find this way too hard.
3. Rock Lee: 'nuff said.
(no offense to Lee fans, I'm just too damn introverted to even begin to imagine his thoughts.)
4. Neji: Neji would have been hard because I'd already mentioned him in Hinata and Tentn's chapters, both mentions forcing me to work with a semi-preset personality that I already didn't like. It's really ironic though, since I actually believe in Fate to a certain degree. So my own perspective might have more closely resembled his more then any other character. So, same case as with Gaara: if someone helps me write a chapter for Neji, then I'll try my damndest to get a chapter for him done.
5. Kiba: I am a cat person (Which is friggin' hilarious since my real last name is 'Wolfe'). Writing the thoughts of someone so enthusiastic about dogs would be rather, shall we say, hard. That being said, I also want to again say that I have nothing against him, just nothing in common with him either.
6. Sasuke: Do I really need to explain?
7. Sakura: Disregarding all the Sakura bashing I've already done in this story, Sakura actually would not be that bad of an idea, if I wrote her character as she was after the time-skip in the manga. Then add in some of the personality from one of the best damn fanfics there is: "Training for the Job." (I review it here since I'm too lazy to post a review online. Sorry Desaix.)
8. Yugao: no, no, no, no, NO!

I could probably keep this list going all day, but that would just be procrastinating even more.
Just to verify, I'm just about halfway done with Tenten's chapter, so it won't be long before I post that as well.
Until next,
