Gotta admit while I liked Loveless, I just think it stands better as a oneshot. The idea of using a Naru/FemSasu without having any cuckold in the way sounds so much better as a long term fic. This stems not only from my hatred of Hinata as a character, but also from everything Naruto and Sasuke go through in canon without Hinata even being present. Assuming the same events all happen the same way even with a Rule 63 Sasuke, Naruto still spent years chasing after her and when did Hinata ever say anything? Yeah… Just make something new without any Hinata pairing if you had intentions to continue, if only to appease those who would be offended by the idea of cheating. It’s not like their isn’t enough stuff elsewhere of anything, but it brings in a different readership and broadens the story types you have if you work a single pairing vanilla.
Anyway Mark98, Naruto fans aren’t picky, butthurt bastards. Take it from me. I’m a Naruto fan. I may prefer the Rule 63 side for…reasons… but there’s a damned good reason why so many people like Naruto as the getting all the girls. He’s a well written character first off and he’s practically a walking God in terms of power. Compared to Sasuke, who has a much more complex dynamic in his writing(that many people who don’t understand only see as Emo), Naruto’s good nature and desire for everyone to get along is entirely easy to relate to and thereby give everyone and their mother. And by proxy because of how some of Sasuke’s actions are in fact irredeemable in the eyes of many, they don’t wish to see him ‘rewarded’. It’s a tough sell, but it’s like Kiba in a way only worse. Kiba is an ass, but he isn’t well liked as a main character. So people would be unhappy with him getting pairings. Give Shikamaru a harem, people would be happy because he’s a relatable character.
