Reviews for Selfish

    Actually I thought the fic was pretty good, I don't particularly like happy stuff, except towards the end, but in this fic, ( Iam a die hard SasuNaruSasu fan) I think it suits, I think there could be hope that Naruto could find his way into falling inlove with him, or not. hmmm...*-*;;

    It suits, okay.

    I normally don't review stories on AFF.net, but this one caught my eye for many reasons. One, I was reading the mini debates that were popping up in your reviews, and I had to throw my two cents in. I personally think Sasuke would either be homosexual or asexual due to his lack of interest in anyone. Then again, it's perfectly possible that he's straight, too, and he just doesn't like any of the girls he knows so far (or he's just not interested in that yet due to the whole obsession with wanting to kill Itachi). For Naruto, I think he wouldn't be bisexual so much as he seems like a person who would be attracted to someone because he *likes* them. I don't think he'd really take gender into account, at least not when he's older anyway. That's just my personal take on it though.

    As for your story, I will say I do like the idea for it. It's very possible that a relationship between Naruto and Sasuke could end up like that. It's sad to think of, no doubt, but looking at Naruto and Sasuke's relationship as it is now, it's bound for a good deal of angst if they ever were to get together. In this sense, I really did like your take on their relationship. Now for the constructive critism.

    Certainly, the drabble works as it is written at the current moment of time, but if you read it again, you can understand where I'm coming from when I say it definetly be polished up a bit. You have a solid idea, good delivery, and a realistic writing style. Now, if you worked on expanding some of the sections a bit more, fleshing out Naruto's personal emotions and reflection on the situation, would do the story wonders. It would turn this good drabble into an amazing one shot. I was going to suggest you try writing this from Naruto's point of view, but looking it over again, I like the way it's in the third person. It just suits the story better.

    Another thing I noticed you might want to claraify or expand is Naruto's emotional attachment to Sasuke. Is he doing this because he actually loves him, or is he doing it as a favor as a friend? Because on one hand, Naruto does indeed love Sasuke and probably just doesn't have a great physical attraction to him, which probably wouldn't be as uncommon as one might think. On the other hand, Naruto doesn't see Sasuke as anything more than a friend and is just leading him on. Both of them show a very different view on how Naruto and Sasuke's relationship could be, and it honestly makes all the difference, especially where the angst is concerned.

    This review ended up being a lot longer than I thought it would be, lol.

    Anyway, I hoped that helped you a bit, but I did want to let you know that I liked this and found it interesting. Good drabble. =]

    I enjoyed your fic. I don't think I have seen this spin on SasuNaru before, and I think it was very creative. Good job

    Ok, so Im not a die hard fan. Im still a fan. Just equal opportunity. XD. Anyway. I enjoyed it. Its more realistic in some ways than many of the fics out there. As much as everyone needs or wants a little fluff every now and again, I dont think these two would be able to do that. Same with the rape situation that seems to run rampant. Sasuke's a bastard, but I doubt he would pull something like that. Just like I highly doubt the validity of the sex-kitten Naruto. Blah. Not to say that these fics are bad, they arnt, Hell, I enjoy them, but nonetheless. This was something I saw as being more feasable. Great job. Keep up the great work.

    Much luv,

    I'm die hard Sasu/Naru, and I thought it was excellent. A very realistic take on the relationship.

    Well, admittedly it's not one of my favourite fics, mainly because I prefer fluff - or at least more light-hearted fics - to angst. And I'm also one of those fans who like the romance/relationship/whatever-you-want-to-call-it between Sasuke and Naruto to be... well, mutual. ^^; In this fic, even though Naruto has consented to a sexual relationship with Sasuke, he doesn't want it. Even though I think it's kind of sweet to think he would put aside his own needs just to make Sasuke happy, I don't like it. I want everyone to be happy. ^^; But I'm not going to say it's a bad fic or anything, because it wasn't. Just not really my type of fic. (Big difference.)

    And so far as the sexual orientations of Sasuke and Naruto... I think most fans, particularly those with a taste for shounen-ai/yaoi, can easily picture Sasuke being gay since he never shows interest in girls. He could have practically any girl he wants, and yet he doesn't even spare any of them so much as a second glance. A bit strange for a boy in puberty, but you know... Sasuke's a strange kid. Naruto, on the otherhand, very obviously has interest in the opposite sex. His crush on Sakura, in particular. However, I could see him being bisexual. There is at least one male in the series that he was attracted to, for certain, and he considers him even more attracive than Sakura. ^~ (Okay, yeah... he thought he was a girl... but he made that comment to himself after he had already discovered he was a male.) And then his strange relationship with Sasuke... I would never go as far to imply a canon romantic or sexual relationship between them, but they obviously do care about each other very much and have a very intense bond. It's not a yaoi or shounen-ai series, so it's never going to take that route. But if it were, they do have the chemistry. They have much better chemistry, I think, than even most of the canon yaoi couples that I have seen. So, I guess the main reason I could see Naruto as bisexual is because of the intensity of his feelings torwards Sasuke. As far as I'm concerned, there almost as close to "gay" as they can get without actually being gay. ^^;

    you know I've been reading naruto fics for a while now and this is the first time i've come acorss one where naruto is giving himself to sasuke in order to keep him near. I loved it. It was short, but you said so much and gave so much depth. I must learn to do that. Anyway, I am a narusasu fan myself, but i really enjoyed this.

    This was a very cool idea. There are so many fictions on here where both the partners are in love or it is rape. Very nicely done.

    Actually I like this. I am a die hard sasu/naru fan but this was well written and obviously well thought out. It considers the high possibility that naruto is not gay but still does love sasuke...just not 'in' love, but anyhoo, this was pretty good. Keep up the good work.

    yeah it's sad in some senses but it's really good and
    an likely thing in some ways. I think it's good but
    with my lack of words I'm not sure how to explain
    but it's really likable.

    yes, I'm one of those die hard SasuNaru fans... but I really liked this story. I liked the alternative angle to their relationship that you took. It gave Naruto some more depth in my opinion. ^_^ Nice going. I don't think I'll be the only one to say this either...
