I've grown slightly bored of Naruto lately. It seems that the only things that still interest me in the fandom are the people and AU stuff. It might be the direction the manga has taken. I've started to miss my old fandoms, HP, Buffy and Robin Hobb, now that I look back, I cannot recall any pairing wars or too much badfic. There probably was, but since it was 2003 when I first got into fandom, the scale of things was a lot smaller and more intimate. Regardless, it seems that there was a lot less AU and a lot more Actual Discussion going on in those fandoms, where as it's really hard to find any in the Naruto fandom. Even narutoforums is mostly groups of people flaming each others' fanclubs, and 99,9% of fanfic pays no attention to canon. I love AU, I write it myself and I do enjoy reading it. But it just amazes me how similar the fics are, and the fandom's lack of interest in the canon universe.
tl;dr: I don't feel like drawing or writing Naruto stuff right now. Don't know if this will change any time soon. Sorry about that, feel free to de-watch.
