Back from the dead

[theroadkillcafe]

It looks like wafflelate  has already beaten me to it, but look, with tumblr starting its slow implosion, that means I need to go somewhere else for my fannish needs, and this is the only halfway recent comm on dreamwidth for Naruto, so I'm going to yank this thing from the ashes with everything I've got. I hope some of you are left and still paying attention.

For starters, I'm theroadkillcafe, or Roadkill. I've been in fandom since at least 2003, and Naruto specifically since I don't know when. At least ten years. My favorite character to write about is Haruno Sakura, but I like or am ambivalent about most characters in the series. I write everything from PWP of varying levels of kink to multi chapter plotty fics. Other fandoms for me include Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, MCU, Supernatural, Harry Potter, Doctor Who, and more.

I don't know what else to include at the moment, but feel free to check out my journal. I will post about real life stuff, Naruto (fics and more meta-ish stuff), other fandoms and fannish things, knitting, and linguistics (particularly Japanese linguistics). At some point I'm going to start including posts of my own fics here, just to keep reminding you guys that this place exists and to get some chatter going again.

Okay, this probably makes me some kind of purist or something, but I only considered the original manga written by Kishi to be canon (to be changed as necessary because that is What Fanfiction Is For). I mean, between the novels, anime, and the games, there's at least three versions of Shisui's death floating around, because apparently the writers don't communicate with each other at all. So. *Shrugs*. No Boruto for me. And even if Kishi were writing Boruto the fact that it resurrects the problems of the original manga is really frustrating, especially when Kishi couldn't tie things up properly to begin with. Yes, I am very salty :P

Yeah, I wouldn't even consider Boruto the same fandom, tbh? I think people who are into Boruto just fundamentally want different things and approach Naruto in a different way from me.
