Yesterday I was having literally a nightmare day. Your 3 Switcharoo chapters saved me. :))) We didn’t even met or talk or know each other but I LOVE YOU. I feel like you are somehow my friend through with your words. Your beautiful words healed me so I’ve come to wish you and your family a super lovely and fun weekend. :) Big kisses from the other side of the world. <3

In all seriousness though. 

I’m sorry you were having such a day. Those are no fun, and sometimes it’s true a couple of chapters in another world is just the thing to get you through. 

I have been there, dear one. When it looks like I might not make it to my bed at the end without a lot of hyperventilating and tears. I will not bore you with my growing up and what that was like, everyone has sad things and everyone has happy things but for me reading and falling into as many worlds as I could honestly saved my life. 

I hope that you know how much your message meant to me. I started writing because of two things
1) i had worlds in my head that had developed from letting bad things in my life decompose and ferment with the wonderful words of other authors I had read and
 2) i wanted to share those with others because they brought me joy and like the books that had saved me I thought maybe, just maybe I could make other people happy too. 

I’m still floored- every time- i realize that there are living breathing people who take the time to read my things and actually enjoy it. So to hear that it helped on a bad day, much like I would have said of many of my favorite books …

Well. 

I read your message curled up in bed with the sun shining through my window, and the sky a beautiful blue, and honestly felt a little like my heart was made of something gooey and soft and wonderful.

So thank you, for that. For sharing, and I’m so so glad to have been of help.

Much, much love to you

Today is no different than any other day in the last month. 

And yet. 

AND YET. there are words coming out of my head that make some sense. 
They even line up nicely on the page, as though they were not giving me trouble at all the last few weeks. 

I’m not looking at my muse. If I glance in their direction they might scare. 

Send me happy writer vibes! Please! I beg you! 

I have 5 minutes to get out the door for a class that only happens once every year. I’ve already missed it once last year.

What does my 3 yr old daughter do right before the baby sitter arrives?

She flings handfuls of flour all over everything.

One day I will write a book about her. It will be glorious.

What are your favorite types of Sasuhina stories?

Nonnie! I wrote and answer to this and instead of posting it, i saved it! Here’s my belated answer to this very thought provoking question! 

First of all, I like SasuHina in particular because I really enjoy broken wounded characters. (that sounds terrible! ) In a story that kind of character cannot remain static. Where Naruto is delightful I find him so endearing that to change him would mean exploring a broken or flawed Naruto and in my mind at least the story would be centered around making him shine again. I just don’t have the stomach for that. So Sasuke, and Hinata too- to a less obvious extent always have somewhere to go. They are all primed for growth and change. 

That being said I am also a huge dork for tropes so here’s where I tend to go when I do have the time and energy to read fanfiction: 

In no particular order! 

Highschool AU: I like highschool, in japan and in the west, I just love it. The time of life has such a perfect setting for daily interaction with people you would not generally be forced to speak to. It is a time of growth, a time of bad choices to learn new wisdom and I mean the trope fields are ripe for the picking in a highschool setting. There’s brooding delinquent saving the book nerd, the heartthrob who notices the bullied girl, the private tutoring, the getting into fights, the weird social pressures and peers everywhere watching everything, commenting, interfering, family still living with you to watch you go through it all. It’s just glorious- heck I may write another one of these one day. Example of one I liked that comes off the top of my head

is https://archiveofourown.org/works/11108775/chapters/26341368. This one is one part highschool AU two parts Soul Mates AU and i love it. 

Modern AU: I think that this one is difficult… I like certain kinds of modern AU. Sometimes they fall into things like Coffee Shop or University or other known types of stories but honestly I like exploring the characters in a modern setting because it forces the writers to bend the characters usual behavior to the culture which is so so different from in universe. Also, often these are set with adult versions of Sasuke and Hinata which I really enjoy as well. Example of one I liked a lot Larkspur https://archiveofourown.org/works/10933875/chapters/24324420 by @newrageinc and also https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12128925/1/Eyes-Wide-Open by @lpitchcatl

In Universe One Shots: There are a lot of one shots that I have loved and cannot name all of them right now, but I don’t often read in universe long stories. Not because I don’t like them but because they are so numerous that sifting through them is hard for me. A couple One shots I can recommend though:Bone White https://archiveofourown.org/works/12280812 by @orangeflavoryawp
and CPR https://archiveofourown.org/works/10933875/chapters/24324420,
and https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12361792/1/The-Golden-Ratio by @giada-luna <—this one has a bunch of stuff to read 🙂 

And last by not least, I have been surprised by writers before in this little corner of the fandom. They take concepts I have never considered and play with them in ways that make me squirm with joy! An example of this is a mermaid AU also by the wonderful Giada Luna called Between the Devil and the Deep https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12600857/1/Between-the-Devil-and-the-Deep
That one is ongoing and beautiful! Also! 

https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11706112/1/All-That-Glitters-Is-Taboo by @elreinodeloscielos has caught my interest and is in my current reading pile. 

So… in the end I like all things SasuHina that involve in character development, great writing, an interesting premise, whether it involves tropes or not. Well written is the key! 

Okay so that was a weird reply to this ask but what can I say? I’m a chatterbox when I’m typing. I’m sorry! 

i hope this is kind of what you were wondering Nonnie… otherwise uh… ask me again! Let’s see what other nonsense I come up with! 

Much Love,
Inky
