Mff. Yes. I'm not a great writer, but still... >__>

Has anyone been incredibly puzzled/annoyed/just shove him some angst already/irritated by how incredibly -unaffected- Naruto's been by Sasuke's disappearance for the whole of the current anime fillers? Well, if you are, and you don't want to have to read angst!Naruto, this is (probably) for you.

Be warned: author really sucks at making stories heart-warming and can only manage a pathetically cheesy amount of "aww".

I've read this fic before. Did you post it somewhere else before this?

[-gejimayu-.livejournal.com]

O_O;;;

I only wrote it a couple of days ago. I doubt you're reading the same fiction. Perhaps one that's similar, but NOT the same fiction.

...damn, I didn't know this had been done before. T___T

It might just be my sense of deja vu kicking in again (it happens a lot). It's still a VERY well-done piece of writing. Keep up the good work!

Thank you for taking the time to read it either way ^__^; I'm not a great writer, so I'm very happy to hear a comment like that. thanks!

I left a signed comment (My Poetic Desire) on your story. Once again - loved it! Was just wondering where you got that cute image!

[-gejimayu-.livejournal.com]

Thank you ^^ And I drew the image.

[killua]

That's a great picture. <3 Did you draw it? Cause I really like it. <3333

[-gejimayu-.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I drew it, on Open Canvas 1.1 in case you were wondering (it's this freeware thingy that acts like a mini Painter). Thanks! ^^

The pic is awesome! Did u draw it? Going to check out yr fic! :)

[-gejimayu-.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I did ^^ Thank you!

I just read it! I really like it, the interaction and conversation between Sakura and Naruto... very sweet, yet very real. I think that's what going through in his mind too. :0

[-gejimayu-.livejournal.com]

T___________T ♥ You totally made my day XDDDD

Thank you so much T____T The favorites is really an honour XD

uwaaa, i love the picture. it's reminiscent of kishimoto's work, yet has its own distinct style. *_*

the fic itself is sweet, and the dynamic between sakura and naruto is pretty true to canon, IMO. i like the dialogue in particular. ^_^ ( also, lee's cameo! hee. )

[-gejimayu-.livejournal.com]

Haha, thank you XD I'm really glad the dialogue came out okay, I was kinda worried I was being too lame with the fiction, what with all the smile and new hope for a new day thing going on >__>;;;;

And haha yeah Kishimoto-sama's awesome, I'm flattered XD; Thank you! ♥

I think you might want to take out the first half of the fic, or put it in italics. You basically played out the scene from the first episode of the last filler arc but didn't give it any credit. People who haven't seen the scene might think you wrote it, and that's not correct.

Other than that, the interaction in the story was cute, and I really liked the picture.

[-gejimayu-.livejournal.com]

Credit for that bit is in the first part of the authors notes. "So I took it, and rewrote that scene."

Thanks for the review either way. =)

[crystaltear.livejournal.com]

eh. I think there's a fine line there. You may have problems in the future with other reviews. Just giving you a head's up.

[-gejimayu-.livejournal.com]

Hm, okay. I'll go edit the AN a little.
