Chapter 20 of SMILES

CHAPTER 20:

Gaara was getting frustrated. Here he was again in the training grounds without his ‘sensei’. Since he was also tired of training alone or against the anoying Mook Yang Chong that the only thing that it did was to remember him of Lee, Gaara was making Toramaru suffer the consequences. They had started a sparring session as the

Thank you! I'm working hard trying to finish it before the actual manga ends!! >.

Mwee :D

I found more of it, thankfully! Are you continuing this still? You do have fans out there who'd like Gaara to find Lee, after all.... : )

[rock_gaara]

Of course I'm continuing it. ^_^ But I'm not posting it anymore on my livejorunal and posting an edited version of every chapter in my Yaoi Gallery account. If you are interested on checking it, here is the link:

Waa I love this chapter! *__* And I love Kankuro X3 yay! Finally, the little Kankuro is growing up T**T *happy*

[rock_gaara]

Thank you very much. ^_^ I really hope I can post the edited chapters on Y!Gallery soon.

Okay I've read all that has been posted.

Wow is about all I can say. I love your writing style. You are doing very well. And the fact that English is your third language is very impressive. I give you a standing ovation. The tension is building nicely. I have a nagging feeling that things might get a little ugly before they get better. Naruto doesn't like to lose, so he is turning this thing with Lee into a competition, and people are only going to get hurt. I have a feeling Gaara is going to wipe the floor with Naruto. My opinions on where this is going. Write more soon.

What is a beta reader? Is it just someone who proof reads and edits?
Or does it involve something more complex?

Re: Okay I've read all that has been posted.

[rock_gaara]

It's easy to explain. See, the alpha reader is the writter itself, the beta reader is the first person to read it after the writter itself, or actually the second one. The job of the beta reader is to find and correct possible errors with the only benefit of being the first one of reading the story before anyone else. In my case, since English isn't my language I make tons of errors not only gramatically but also when it comes to built sentences. I unconciously translate them froom my mother tongue, and sentences that are well built in my language aren't in English, or even if they are right they are sentences that people don't use or aren't so natural. (I hope you understand what I mean here...^_^U).

I am addicted to this story

[mangagirl1]

I want more of this story. The characters are written so perfectly. And the whole idea of putting sweet, forgiving, lovable Naruto as the tirant was freaking brilliant. I love the revenge plot and the love interest. The whole thing about Naruto having regrets about lost love because his heart was so focussed on that loser Sasuke is beyond brilliant. Gaara's relationship with his siblings is cute, but his relationship with Lee is precious. And that Lee could actually get pissed off enough to beat the crap out of Naruto === nice touch. You must have a heck of a chapter coming next. I can't wait. Go for it.

I'm really glad you like this story. I have a few chapters written after this but... The truth is that I wanted to finish this fanfic before Shippuden gets near its ends, since it seems my story is creating like a new alternate time now! xD I mean... I started this a long time ago and... I asked in Yaoi Gallery for a beta reader that I really really need since I suck at English. She kinda dissapeared... I don't know from her since months so... I'm very sorry. I need to find a new beta reader. Any way, if you want to re-read the story, now well written from the begining, just check out my gallery in Y!Gallery: http://yaoi.y-gallery.net/user/rockgaara/

Thanks a lot for reading, I loved your comment, honestly. And I'd love to continue this fic as soon as I can.
