Alright.
So, I'm almost done playing Resident Evil 4, which saddens me to say. However, with that occurring, I will most likely be spending the majority of my free time (i.e. - the little time away from work and from girlfriend) online again.
In addition to this, ever since a few PM exchanges between Xan' and I a number of weeks ago, I had been jotting plot and story ideas for a Naruto story in a notepad. I came up with some stuff that I think would be interesting had it happened in the series. But, in light of the continuing fillers I hardly see any of my hopeful wishes coming true. Thus, I figured I'd take things into my own hands. And, while it wouldn't be animated .. as I'm no animator, nor can I draw in that anime style, nor would it even be like the manga for the aforementioned reasons, maybe those who appreciate reading would enjoy it. Picture my words in your head and so forth ..
But, the point of this thread was because at the moment I am stuck. I've got a slew of original characters, techniques and skills and ample amounts of nonsense to go into them. And, at first I thought of only incorporating original characters. But, then I thought of how little so many characters are already used and I thought about including some other ones.
At the moment, I am going for the idea of another shinobi war. The premise would be that Iwagakure (Hidden Rock / Stone) is going to retaliate and exact revenge for their defeat thirteen years prior. They've enlisted Kumogakura (Hidden Cloud), with promises of a live Hyuuga specimen. This is the main story I was thinking of working off of. You all would be my initial audience, so I was curious if anyone had any input / feedback.
Should I include the Rookie Nine and such? Should it just be elite Jounin and above? I was thinking maybe like the Kakashi Gaiden, as there were Chuunin involved in that and such.
Please lend your creative assistance to give me something to do, and hopefully something for you all to enjoy reading.
In addition, post any good fan fictions anyone has possibly come across. May help as something to pass the time, and may provide some inspiring ideas.
