Rated: R/M/Almost as much violence as there is sex.

Title: Gestures
Summary: All Gaara wanted was a hug, and until she gave him one, she would not be able to leave. GaaSaku. Oneshot.
Number of Words: 634
Rating: K+

I wrote this a while ago but I'm new to livejournal and I wanted to share. If you read the story and have a little time on your hands, I'd really appreciate a review! Even if it's just a couple of words or something. (:

Anyhow, I'm still trying to find my way around. I'm not sure if I'm allowed to ask this here, but could someone explain to me what an LJ cut is? I see that a lot but I can't seem to figure out how to do it. S:

I think this story was from Fanfiction.net but I forgot to favorite it. The pairings are GaaSaku and NaruHina.

It's a high school fic.

It's about the Sabaku siblings moved to Konoha, living above Sakura's family in an apartment. I only remember bits and pieces of it:

- Gaara's in a band with Kiba, Hinata and Shino
- Kurenai made Gaara and Hinata sing in a choir
- Tsunade was Gaara's previous doctor and Kakashi the current one
- Sabaku siblings sent a "letter" DVD and pictures to their father who's in jail
- Sasuke tries to be number one
- Karin nearly killed Sakura in the school parking lot
- Naruto, Sakura and Gaara's almost always at the bus stop
- Naruto is a terrible driver
- Sasuke slash the wheels of the car so Gaara and Sakura were stuck and ended up going into an inn since it was raining
- Sakura and Gaara made lots of memories at the roof tops
- Gaara has lots of books in his room and lended one to Sakura in the beginning
- In the end, Sakura and Gaara moved in together and they got a job at the same place
- Gaara later owns a dog from the Inuzuka Clan and named it Shukaku

Hopefully someone knows the name of this fanfic or link it!!

Thank you!!

I found this doujin on DA. Not sure if it's anyone else's cup of tea, but I thought I'd throw it out there for you all to read. I personally find it amusing and I'm impressed with how many pages the girl has been able to draw!

THIS IS NOT MY DOUJIN. I just want that made clear!

Hello all.

I hope I am no breaking any rules in posting like this (that is, without perhaps fulfilling an unknown prerequisite), but I am a fan of GaaSaku and am writing a story where this is included. I am sharing for the interested.
www.fanfiction.net/s/4828676/1/Journey_Through_Night


Title: Journey Through Night
Author: Oreithyia
Characters/pairings: Sabaku no Gaara and Haruno Sakura
Genre: Mystery/Drama
Word Count: 66,000+
Disclaimer:  I do not own Naruto, or anything associated with it whatsoever. Alas, and woe.
Rating: T
Summary: An epidemic forces the Kazekage to summon aid from Konoha. But from the horrors of disease to the ties of family and clan, from the fine line between executive and dictator to the complexities of international policy, nothing is ever so simple.

I was asked an interesting question earlier from a person who ships Gaara & Matsuri. They asked me why people that like GaaSaku hate Matsuri for being a "fangirl" of Gaara's. Because, of course, Sakura was also a "fangirl" of Sasuke's way back in the day. The only logical thing I could think of was that

A.) Fangirls of Gaara don't want to share him and therefore hate Matsuri. (lol)

or B.) My personal opinion is that Sakura's fangirl-ing seemed to occur at a younger age, unlike Matsuri, who is 15 or 16 (I think?), but even then, I don't hate Matsuri. She's obnoxious, but I don't let her character bother me.

Just trying to start a discussion with anyone who want to voice their opinion. :D

I haven't posted here in a while. I found this fic in a notebook and decided to type it up. Here it is:

Comments and reviews are appreciated!

( Story )

Joining the Circus
500 words
Rating: G or K or whatever means clean now&days.
Heavy-duty AU, a hiccup of ‘shippiness, and Gaara in a top hat. 'Nuff said. :D


(x-posted to ij)

I still can't believe no one else ran with the old one . . .

Oh, hell, let's start this number mess over again.
Challenge #1 of 2009!
Theme/Key phrase: Joining the circus
Type: Whatever!

There's all kinds of options: Is it the human circus, making some kind of social commentary on our day-to-day lives? Or is it the three-ring type? Is it a threat or a promise? Does it involve cracked-out AU fanart of Sakura the lion tamer--as Gaara tries to cram someone into the clown car via the tailpipe? Or are you thinking more Vaudeville-flavored outlandishness?

(I still can't draw so well, so the latter's all on you guys.)


Time's up Friday, February 20th. Winner gets some stickers and probably something shiny, because I have ten tons of shiny things over here that need homes. :D

Questions, comments, trepidations?

Thoughts on extending the challenge deadline until Friday?

Y/y?

(I know I'm not the only one who wants to see what people'll come up with!)

I dunno if posting fics completely unrelated to the challenge is a no no here, but I couldn't find any rules against it.  If I'm wrong please feel free to cause me physical harm.  :)

Title: Of Parties and Awkward People
Rating: T for alcohol and some cursing.  Also contains mild spoilers that are probably a year old.
Summary: Sakura grew up hearing that alcohol lowered your inhibitions. She really wished she had paid attention. Because Gaara had the funniest name in the world.
( Because Gaara just wants someone to touch him! )

 

I dunno, most GaaSaku is complicated and layered and hard to write, which is the way I like it, but I felt like lightening it up.  :P

We're down to the final days for the year as well as the challenge . . . :)



Mud and Hostages
About 1,200 words
T/PG for situations
Naruto wants to train with his friends. Sakura wants to go back to her warm bed. Gaara wants . . . well . . .

Characters: Gaara/Sakura
Warnings: None (rated G)


( Naruto: Gaara/Sakura - 'Turn Around' )

Anyone? No one?

(If not, I understand. I got a couple hundred words in and got distracted.)


Anyway!

December's Challenge (of cracky numberless insanity):

Key phrase/idea/theme: "You put the bell where?"
Type: Fic, art, etc.

A plate of internet cookies to whoever makes the community shoot their drink of choice out of their noses. Just be sure to label any adult content appropriately!

This one's up January 2, at or around midnight EST.


Happy holidays!

Just a reminder--there's less than a week to get an entry in for this challenge!

(Also, I promise: December's will melt brains.)

I waited, but nothing changed. We . . . have a tie. :D


Yay for ninnuma and thefuzzyhat! It's a good thing I have a bunch of stickers. PM me with addresses and I'll get things sent out ASAP!


Next up . . .

November's challenge (of an unnamed number):
Key phrase/idea: False start
Conditions: It is Nano--so to be sure those of us who are grossly behind trying to make our word count don't get bogged down in fic, we're gonna go short & sweet. Hit the hundred-word mark--100, 200, 300, 400, or 500. No more than 500! And if you have an art idea, that works just as well!

Time's up Friday, December 5th, at or around Midnight EST. I'll put this in my datebook so I won't forget this time, too. D:

Questions, comments, trepidations?

(Yikes! It's Saturday!)

(Dear Dog! What happened to our userinfo?)

It's time for our post-challenge poll! However, Lj only lets people with paid accounts use polls. But Ij still has 'em, so world is good.

Vote once, don't vote for yourself, and OpenId lets you vote without an Ij account. This is stupidly complicated: If you have an Ij, clicky here and vote. If you don't have an Ij, clicky here and log in with OpenId (your Lj username and password) and vote. And if you have an easier way to make this work, let me know!

If the winner wants, I'll send them some Gaara & Sakura stickers. (Sorry, life is hectic and I can't offer banners anymore.) Voting will be up at or around midnight EST on Monday if I remember and the next challenge will ideally go up Sunday night. Suggestions are welcome, but keep in mind that this is Nano month and fic challenges might be rough for some members to get through.

Happy voting! :)
