hi!

Wow, alright. Lemme start of by saying it's so wild using Wattpad after about, 2-3 years of absence on here?? I completely forgot about the formatting to be honest but in my utter defense...I used to use a laptop and being forced to use a phone to write in general is more pain than it ought to be, believe it or not haha.

Secondly, I'm very impressed...and embarrassed, a little, that my silly Naruto OC fanfic written early 2020 till whenever I last updated this fic (I forgot 😭) would...be read.

To be absolutely honest, this fic was something else for me somehow. To this day, it's the most words I've ever written for a fanfic ― arguably, I have written far more for the fandom I am currently in, but in terms of an entire multichapter fanfiction, this beats the record. Over two hundred thousand words, ignoring edits I made while I wrote.

I remember distinctively when the lockdown was still active in my country waking up between online classes, writing and writing until I got tired. I never stopped with my determination to complete this fic. My best friend (of five years, whoa!) can attest to that, with our shared ramblings and ideas, discussions for our ocs amongst other things. Though it was also an arguably dark period of my life, the fond memories of when I was 15 and much calmer still remains with me.

It is messy though, I'll admit that. Errors, a not so solid outline, inconsistent personalities, just to name a few....ah, yikes.

But, still. When I wrote this back then, I genuinely didn't think people would really spare it a read. The Naruto fandom seemed dead aside from my two friends at the time (Abs and Shizake19), so I didn't put much thought into being judged. All I cared about was writing for myself, putting my OC in my favorite world with my favorite characters. I didn't think anyone would read it aside from my friends and so I didn't care to really...be concerned about how cringe it would be 😭 ah...wow...

No regrets though. I hold this fic dear to me, and I'll never regret writing it. Maybe to some of the people who read this fic, it's cringey, but I couldn't care less. I have free will, I'll use it, and my characters have their flaws and weird notions that I placed effort into making, even if it's not obvious.

Honestly though, low-key doubt anyone will see this. I'm genuinely concerned and surprised if anyone actually READS all 101 chapters of this whackass fanfic.

But, if you do. Thanks for reading. Thanks the votes, thanks for adding it to your reading lists, thanks for taking the time to read from the writings of little Ali. It means a lot :')

There is naturally, a part two planned for this fic series of mine. I haven't quit writing, nor have I grown out of my love for Naruto or silly fanfics in general. I simply found something new to fixate over, so I'm currently stuck in a brainrot with it haha...

My writings improved I think, if anyone even bothers with this, so if you liked this fic, or have questions, or overall want to see whatever else I write, I'm active more on Tumblr as lotusarchon and buniibloom (main), and ao3 as usagiiribbons and yuxiibun (main), for fandoms that are now wholly related to Chinese mythology.

Funny how that went. Japanese mythology to Chinese mythology pipeline. Ahh.....

Fair warning, I'm an adult now (18 turning to 19) so uh, not so safe for work writings if you actually check those accounts out. I'm ashamed to admit I've become a "gooner" as the kids call it these days.

Life is so strange. I'd never have thought I'd find myself still alive at 18, much less writing more and expanding my interests. I even have a girlfriend now.

What's the point of this? I have no idea, I wanted to sound inspirational but I sound like a kid trying to be cool so I give up.

But, hey. If you want to write a fanfic where Sasuke loves your OC or Sakura being badass or just, whatever it is, go for it. Don't let anyone stop you, don't let them judge you for being "cringe". We have one life, you never know what the future holds and with this current era of stupid AI being used to write literally anything, be you. Be true to yourself and just have fun.

Live your life as you wish too, do as you please. Because you're the only you in what might be one singular lifetime for all of humanity, and though it'll fade when the universe ceases, and the last thing you want is to live or die with regrets. Do things that make you happy. (Within reason and morals, haha).

See y'all. Thanks for reading, and I hope I can see you guys again soon in future installments to come :p
