You're welcome, I'm currently reading your Guide to writing a Naruto Fanfiction and I agree with everything you have to say. It's so frustrating seeing all these Mary-Sues - it kills me.
I've been working on my Naruto Fanfiction which is turning into this whole project practically. It's a lot of work, and reading your guide helps make sure I don't slip in one area while writing it.
If I ever get to posting it (it's a long way from the writing stage, still planning everything; what with characters, plotlines, research, etc.) I'll be sure to dedicate a chapter to you. =]
