The Necromancer

[pyroflare77]

Oh my, for some reason this board's existence slipped my mind until I saw Zeo's post. I originally had this in my own sub-board until my cyoa was demoted, so I guess I'll just put it here.

This is the fanfic that my cyoa branched off of: (bad version; better one below)

I'm only posting the one above because it is the original and it is complete. I wrote it back in 2007, and it took two years to complete. My writing skills improved significantly over the course of the fanfic, which annoyed me once it was done because you had shitty beginning chapter and good ending chapters. I didn't want to go and change anything, because there would be no signs that I have updated it unless someone stumbled across it.

So I started to rewrite it. The improved version with bonus scenes and whatnot is here:

The summary is simple: two new Akatsuki members cause a zombie outbreak in Konoha. The plot is, of course, deeper than that. It's a nice blend of zombie horror and traditional Naruto action, and the zombies are supplementary elements, not the main threat. Well, maybe they are at first, but yeah.

The original story is 32 chapters and 132K words. The current version has 10 chapters rewritten and 115K words. So you can already see the quality of the rewritten one right there.

Enough of my yammering, since nobody's going to read it anyway <_<. Oh yeah, I'll change parts of my cyoa if you start using the fanfic as a cheat sheet.

The revised writing looks really good. On the part with Shika's dad now. Only complaint is how fodderized ninjas seem to be, when they're trained to suppress their emotions.

But zombys are scurry.

There will be suppressing of emotions, though. Some are just better than others, and some never get a chance to try and suppress them after the initial shock of "omigah dead dude moving and biting whoaaaaaaa"

Well, with chapter 12 up, something near the end of it can actually spoil a certain thing in A Gathering Storm that hasn't been hinted at all yet. Just a warning if anybody even reads this story <_<

And when chapter 13 goes up soon, things will deliberately be spelled out about a certain future plot point. Such are the disadvantages of mostly-connected fanonverses.

Well if you're up to date everything is okay now.
