Hii, not really a question, I just wanted to say thank you for all the work you've done. It might sound silly but some of your fics really had an impact on me, I re read Stumble, Hoshigaki, Eight and Snow Storm and Snake Wine every couple of months.. you have such a way with words and I've always loved how you capture the personalities of each character, and find a way to develop the worlds and universes surrounding them... So, keep it up, and I wish you luck and strength for all your newer projects outside of the Naruto world (with Frostbite or whatever personal projects you've got going on!) thanks for the lasting memories, you've got a bright future with a pen in your hands.

aaaaaaa! you're so sweet, and thank you so much for enjoying these fics!!! <3 <3 <3

First of all, I apologize for my terrible simple, I am using a translator since I do not speak English. I love your eight-year-old work and its sequel, I remember when I first read it, it is one of my favorite works. The scene when Sakura is burned by the Kiuby chakra is my favorite.

Recently, I told a friend artist about your work and I helped myself by drawing a picture of how we thought the burn looked, we were inclined to something more graphic because we have both seen what a burn of that style looks like, I hope you like it.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

THIS IS AMAZING!!! <3

may smoke breaks and rereading eight in the bathroom carry me through this 10 hour friday night shift in the pizza hut 🙏

thank you for keeping me from crashing out on my employees when they do dumb shit, amen

and thank you for loving these fics and bunkering down the local pizza hut 🫡 your service will be remembered 🍕

i’ve definitely sent something like this before, but i just need to say it again. your writing is such a comfort to me. its funny, its thoughtful, the worldbuilding is amazing. snow storms & snake wine especially—i rarely reread things, but every couple months ill pull it back up to go through it again.

is it ok if i end up making it into a physical book once its finished? not to sell ofc, just to have

<3

snow storms & snake wine has such a special place in my heart. i know i haven't updated it in a while but the world is constantly cycling through my head and i absolutely will finish it one of these days. both that and frostbite i'm hoping to wrap up this year

and of course!!

Just read the new chapter of Frostbite and: HOLY FUCK—

Thank you so incredibly much for sharing!!!!! I left a comment saying this as well, but, well, hello from South Brunswick???? Literally in a dialysis center parking lot in South Brunswick rn. To quote Hamilton (and backed up by my despise for Jersey drivers), “everything’s legal in Jersey”, including fighting a fucked up lab designed mortal enemy ig. Have an amazing day and thank you so much!!!!

P.S.: I’m the anon from August and I’m still here!! I adore your writing more than just about anything.

thank you so much!!!

it's so funny cause no one says they're from new york when the whole fic takes place there but i pick a city in new jersey and like three people are waving from that city specifically LMAO

<3!!!!

me when frostbite updates and we're almost at my favorite part: a good generational crashout

Team 7 running into Sakura, Kisame, Hidan and Deidara dancing w their matching crocs. 😂😂😂

Is it just me or do I totally see Team 7 (esp Kakashi) feeling some kind of way about Sakura’s strong bonds with “outsiders”. Not neccesarily jealous but it’s hard not to see how Sakura’s friendship/bond with Team 7 is more of a shared delusion than reality. Because I bet Sakura is that friend who always shows up early for meetups, always initiates or does the inviting and the one who gets cancelled on. It stings but she loves them more than they love her. (As a recovering pathological people pleaser like Sakura… Yikes. I feel this so much. This sound so harsh but their advice to Sakura of dropping Sasuke is very sobering that it’s okay to let go of people).

Team 7 currently has no idea she's get new best friends (and better friends tbh) and that ABSOLUTELY nails it on what I imagine for their relationship. Team 7 hasn't shown up at all in the Snow Storms universe, but if (when?) they do, they won't be very happy :D

hi! i read your works back when i was maybe 13-14 and every once in a while i go back to reread my favourite ones even now, 6 years later!! i love your writing SO much and i hope you are doing well, i cant wait to see what else you have in store for us! :DD

thank you so much!! and thank you so much for stopping by again and again! <3

[writer168]

How many words do you write in each chapter? I am trying literature and I don't know where to start...

i aim for a 7k minimum! they can get up to 8k-10k, and if the chapter's really meaty it can even shoot up to 15k.

word count isn't the most important thing, though! write as much as you need to and worry about the word count later. when i was first starting out i used to put a sticky note on my laptop to hide the word count on the document type i was using and it really helped me out

[writer168]

Kakuzu's ✨religious trauma✨ is a showstopper. I can't stop thinking about it perhaps because his flashback of his childhood is something I've experienced from the Philippines.

You really write the most beautiful worldbuilding I have ever read. The different languages and culture and FOOD! BREATHTAKING

thank you so much!!!! <3

i absolutely loved writing kakuzu's pov for that chapter. i've headcannoned kakuzu as filipino for as long as i can remember and nothing can change that. and of course i had to give this man appropriate religious trauma. it's just so tasty

[writer168]

It's literally been a third reread of the entire series and I still haven't figured out for the life of me what Sakura's summons are or what they look like... Tbh, I thought her summons are gonna be that god/guardian(?) of the cementary that Sakura reminds people from Suna (a Nasus - like figure from League of Legends)

so basically sakura's summons are moose, and the first one that appeared in story with multiple antlers and multiple eyes (if i remember that correctly???)

Hello! I came across your fics on wattpad back in like Middle School and HEAVILY enjoyed them. Stumble was the first one i came across (i was a HUGE Sasori fan) and after i found Hoshigaki/Eight and lived and breathed those fics

Eventually i moved on from the Naruto fandom to other things and went from Wattpad to Ao3. Eventually i deleted wattpad becasue i almost never used it (except to read ur fics/srs) and needed storage for something

Im a Sophmore in College now and the other day i randomly started thinking about Eight completely unprompted (i havent Watched Naruto in YEARS) and went and redownloaded Wattpad. I ended up Binging Hoshigaki/Eight in the span of like 2-3 days and it was better than i remembered. Im going to reread Stumble after this.

I then learned that you have an Ao3 and i dont need to deal with Wattpads Ads anymore Yay!

All this to say I LOVE you and your writing and your fics will hold a special place in my heart as some of the first ive ever read.

youre the best i cant wait to see what youll cook up for Eights ending no matter how long itll take <3

!!!!

thank you so much for your love and support!!! <3 and it's crazy to see you swing along back after so many years

and thank you so much for being so patient <3 i don't know when i'll be uploading eight again, but i know that i'll have to finish it one day

[writer168]

pein is dead in the lemonade stand au right? so like what,, what happened to him - <3

so in the lemonade stand au it basically picks up from the end of eight. which i already planned out. but haven't published. and have barely written down

so unfortunately this is just something i can't answer LMAOOO

[writer168]

Weird question but do you wear crocs? Before reading your fic, I've never considered wearing one but now... I found myself looking at the crocs store wondering if I could pull a Hidan and wear one with (probably mismatched) socks.

i've only ever worn crocs because i've been ambushed into owning them

and who am i to keep you from their cloggish thrall

[writer168]

Hi I just found you here on tumblr but I’ve been following Frostbite since the first chapter in Jan 2020 and I just want to say a massive fucking thank you. It’s my favorite fic of all time, and it’s been with me since freshman year of high school and I’m now 2 weeks from beginning sophomore year of college. You’re an incredible writer and I cannot thank you enough for sharing your gifts with us <3

!!!!

thank you so much for loving the fic so much that you've stuck around all these years! frostbite really is near and dear to my heart and it warms me to my bones that i've got readers like you

good luck in your sophomore year of college <3

bro bro bro i just rediscovered the hoshigaki/eight series in my wattpad library a few days ago, havent touched a single naruto fanfic in like 3 years and went 'hey. i dont even remember the plot but i know its good so hell yeah lets reread it' GETS SMACKED WITH ONE OF THE BEST PIECE OF FICTION I HAVE EVER WITNESSED. your fics legit flipped my views on the naruto universe as a whole upside down and now i will probably never be able to look at canon characters/events ever again without thinking 'wow thats neat. this is not hoshigaki though' and die inside a little everytime.

physically pains me everytime i remember kiba isnt actually a snarky insanely clever seal master and shiho isnt actually an efficient hardworking medic with anxiety and sakura isnt a master swordswoman with too many layers of trauma to peel open and they actually didnt traumabond themselves into being a pack and AKAMARUUUUUUUU

bro i know u already had a plan for the story that will end up better than everything i can imagine but pls. when u finally kill danzo make it HURTS. let EVERYONE know the truth bcs everytime team 8 gets dragged through the mud again my heart hurts like im kurenai and this is chapter 4: of every cloud of the hit story eight from the one shall find flames series. also uhhh let the kids get therapy? pls?

all in all uh. sorry if my rambling comes off as rude but i really really love your stories they are inspiring so many things into my brain right now and as someone who also wants to pursue arts i think the ability to inspire is pretty amazing (uhhhh btw how do u usually receive fanarts for your fics?) and again sorry for the incoherent rambling but i really only wanna say that i!!! love your stories very much!!! and i hope u take care of urself and take the times u need bcs ur stories will always be in the library for me to rediscover every other june and thank u for bringing ur love into this world so beautifully for us to appreciate too!!! thank u!!!

!!!! your comments are so sweet! it makes me so happy that you're enjoying these fics - they really mean a lot to me even though i haven't updated this series for a while. i do have a plan for them and i do know i want to get eight finished, and i'm glad that even after so long, there's still people out there loving this little world <3

thank you so much! i hope you're doing well too <3

(you can send fanart through email or through insta or posted on your own blog that i can reblog - whichever method is more convenient! :D)
