đđSpotlight Saturdayđđ
Here are we again, another Saturday, another Spotlight! And itâs actually on a Saturday too! And this weeks Spotlight: @dunloth!!!
Before I begin with this weekâs spotlight, some things to note:
These Spotlight Saturdays are my way of saying thank you and giving some love to my friends and other content creators in the fandoms Iâm in. SO, as long as I am physically able to, I will spotlight someone. If I havenât gotten to you yet, chances are, I will, at some point in the future.
If you want to nominate someone for it, or want to nominate yourself (hey, give yourself some credit too!) then please go ahead and add their name to the sheet I have up here. My only request is that if the artist or fic writer does do a lot of NSFW work/writing, you note it for me. Â
REBLOGS ARE VERY MUCH APPRECIATED!
That all said, here we go with this weekâs Spotlighted Author (and artist):
As is the recent theme, Iâve only started reading Dunlothâs works maybe 2 or 3 months ago? And actually, I only got to know Dunloth a few months ago after I joined the @tenzoscabin Discord Server. There, I got to know this really kind and really talented author!Â
I think the first fic I ever read by Dunloth was actually The Sixth Element back in May. For a fic that was written in only 90 minutes, that is one amazing story! But, thatâs not the only amazing 90 minutes written story by Dunloth. Thereâs also this one Without the Mask Where will you Hide with some lovely art drawn by @animetrashmuffin who was inspired by it!Â
Besides being a master at writing fics in 90 mins (and that is hard work, so kudos to Dunloth!) Dunloth is also extremely talented because their mother tongue is not English, but Spanish! Thatâs right: Dunloth works hard and writes fics in English for us to enjoy even though itâs not their mother tongue! How amazing is that? And Dunloth actually does have fics in Spanish in the Naruto fandom! For those who are curious, hereâs a link to las historias de Naruto en Espanol!Â
And you know how at least one artist was inspired by @dunlothââs works. Well, theyâre not the only one. Take a look at Looking at You, yet another fic which inspired an artist to draw! In Chapter 8, the amazing @sinyaruâ drew this!Â
This is yet another amazingly talented author whose work I have shamelessly not read. (Iâm catching up slowly: I promise!) What I have read though is amazing. In fact, it is so good that I have told Dunloth their depiction of ANBU Kakashi is one of my writing goals. Seriously, if youâve never read Dunlothâs work or donât know if youâd like to, I highly recommend reading their work Safety Regulations.Â
Jounin at Twelve  is another fic of Dunlothâs that I really like along with Once More with Feeling .Â
And letâs not forget So Close and Yet so Far written in 2019. Another absolute MUST READ!Â
And which ones does @dunlothâ recommend as their favorite fics written by them?Â
How about Stranded: a KakaIru Space Pirates AU? Or what about Pillow Talk for Fake Lovers? Or better yet, what about a nice Kakashi Birthday Fic (in celebration of Kakashiâs upcoming birthday) such as Mid-Life Crisis?Â
And that is just the bare bones of Dunlothâs writing.Â
Iâm telling you, half of my Naruto âMarked for Laterâ reading are solely Dunlothâs works. Iâm really excited to sit down and read them when I have the time because so far, everything Iâve read has been SO GOOD! And I really do mean that. Dunloth has a gift for writing Kakashi so well, so in character that you canât help but think: âWow, that was a really good story!â And like I said before, Dunloth is my writing goals when it comes to ANBU Kakashi. They write him so well there!
In fact, Dunloth writes so well that I recommend everyone to click here and go read their stuff on A03!Â
Oh, and for those of you like me who like a good soulmate AU from time to time, letâs not forget Dreamscape. Itâs still a WIP, but hey, if a good author needs time to write, then I will humbly wait (and eagerly too) and click like crazy when that new chapter drops because I know that story will be good!Â
AND WAIT! Thatâs not all of Dunlothâs writing!Â
Before writing for the Naruto fandom Dunloth wrote a lot of fanfiction for years, en espanol, for the Buffy the Vampire Slayer fandom. If youâre curious and can read Spanish, or are going to teach yourself Spanish as you read along (like me) then take a look at dunlothâs Spanish Buffy fics here!  (The pseud name is different! Itâs delirante!)Â
Oh, and for those of you who have a twitter (and for those of you who just so happen to have Dunloth in one of your servers) you may know that Dunloth always finds the most amazing art to share from there! In fact, thereâs a lovely Irezumi piece of artwork that Dunloth shared (after finding it on Twitter) that may or may not have inspired a story for me.Â
Iâve only barely covered the amazing stories and writing Dunloth has shared with us. BUT, if you are anything like me and love to read good fanfiction, you now have yet another author that you should add to your âI want to readâ pile! Trust me, you wonât regret it!Â
OHâŚAND FINALLY: THANK YOU so much Dunloth for being such a supportive fandom friend over the past few months. Youâve been so nice to me as I share my writing, even giving me advice on a few of my own stories! Thank you! And THANK YOU for sharing so much of your lovely writing with us!  Youâve created a fan out of me, and I donât think this fan is leaving anytime soon!Â
AND, as always a gif to end things! All of these kudos and applause for you @dunlothâ!Â
