Hello! I just wanted to start this off by saying I love TCOS and TMNGTCR (even the abbreviation is long as heck lol). You’re honestly an amazing writer and I aspire to write like you someday. I always come up with good plots that interest me but find a hard time building up to them like you do. Your characters, side plots, themes, grammar, and everything else that goes into your stories are paid attention to with such care. It enhances the reading experience tenfold.
My original question was about fanart. I’m reread TCOS and I remember seeing fanart linked in the story before but I’m not able to find it.
1. Did you delete it or are my eyes just failing on me?
2.Also, I was going through some of your Q&A’s and noticed how you said Natsume was a reincarnated Naruto character. Has he had multiple incarnations since he knows things about the real world?
3. I know love interests haven’t been finalized so feel free to ignore this part but how do you feel about Nastume and Karin? He thinks of her like family so it’s hard to tell if that’s in a cousin way or something that could possibly lead to more. I like the idea of them in a relationship since it’ll give more of the spotlight to Karin (a criminally underrated character considering she’s literally related to the MC in canon) and because I think they have an interesting dynamic that I can see becoming romantic. Natsume’s also looking for a wife so it also kind of works out lol.
4. Will there be any Uzumaki (OCs) introduced? Besides nagato there’s no canon Uzumaki currently alive right now. Does that mean you’ll write some in the story?
Sorry for all the questions and rambling!
Hello! Thank you so much! I’m really glad to hear that, since a lot of my stuff I’ve really just come up with on the fly. It’s more recently that I’ve been trying to do some basic outlines for fics to help me finish them. And no need for apologies! I love answering questions and hearing thoughts on my fics, it’s great for motivation. I’d rather apologize for how long it usually takes me to GET to questions, lol. Just been a busy few months!
To answer some of your questions:
1) I don’t recall removing fanart from the fic itself, but I’ll go back and check links in case anything is broken. I’ve received a LOT of amazing fanart for this fic and try my best to repost it here on tumblr (tagged w/ Natsume’s name) and also in my discord server. The fic itself probably isn’t up to date with any links.
2) As of now, there’s just the two reincarnations I want to explore and I don’t have any current plans to change that. I am writing most of this with a basic outline, however, so things could change as I go!
3) I’m going to avoid this question just because I don’t want to confirm or deny anything, lol
4) I have a lot of Uzumaki / Uzushio plans! Hopefully they’ll all come to fruition. I don’t find it believable that every single Uzumaki was murdered, and we never got a definite answer to the question of what really happened, so as fans we’re able to play around with details like it’s our personal sandbox - and that’s exactly what I’m going to do! i don’t want to be too specific because of spoilers, but I hope this answers your question enough.
