This place isn't updated much, is it?
I'm mostly a shikatema fan so I'll deal with them, however i do have some very good shikasaku if anyone is interested.
All of these can be found on FF.net so I wont bother putting web adresses or authors.
Unwritten:
One of the best portrayals of the two characters.
If you are a hardcore fanfic fan then you will understand that these two are the best and worst characters to write, and often come out OOC.
Story of shikamaru's change from lazy child into "cool adult".
Takes place after Hidan arc with lots of Akatsuki action.
Prose: good shipping, more mature literature
Bummer: the ending makes you cry out WTF....
Plot - mostly good but not essential for the enjoyment
OOCness - in character
warning - nothing much but has a good chapter at the end....
genre - serious
writing - very well written
Shikamaru plus Glasses Equals:
Not really a shikatema fic but i guess if you like that pairing then you will easily read any other shika story.
Konoha and Sand konuichi's quest to see what shika looks like with glasses and then some. If your a raving shika fan girl like me, you'll love it.
Prose: Every word counts, not a dull chapter or sentence to be seen.
Bummer: IT'S NOT FREAK'IN FINISHED!!!!
Plot - very good, essential for enjoyment.
OOCness - subtle but still can be seen there.
genre - humour....very very funny
writing - well done
warning - none.....well nothing serious
Thats the crem de la crem of my faves, so hope they become yours too.
