"Guardian" progress report
Dec. 15th, 2015 02:26 pmI finished the rough draft of ch. 16 this morning and did one round of preliminary edits. Then I revised chs. 8 and 9, and have now posted both of them over on AO3.
Based on a scene I had completely forgotten writing in ch. 8, I'm going to have to tweak ch. 16 a little more to keep some character arcs coherent. Ah well, that shouldn't take too long.
As I said before, I'd like to get ch. 16 beta'ed before I post it, even though that has not been my pattern with this story. If anybody is willing, please leave me a comment or a private message.
Anyway, revised stuff!
-----
Chapter the Eighth, in which Naruto and Sasuke successfully hoodwink a grown ninja (who will feel very stupid about the incident later on), Yukiko takes Seichi up on his offer to teach her card games, Naga complains about her mother's idea of appropriate lunch foods, and Eiji has a nice, relaxing family dinner.
Chapter the Ninth, in which Kurenai and Genma discuss the benefits of learning to cook, Yukiko catches up with an old family friend, Naga meets Kakashi's nin-dogs, and Naruto tries to teach Sasuke how friendship works.
-----
The former got some actual content tweaks -- there are minor alterations to Yukiko and Seichi's conversation -- whereas the latter is largely unchanged except for its punctuation. (Was I addicted to semi-colons and dashes in 2006? Quite possibly! *headdesk*)
