Another week, another load. Sorry about the delay but had a bit of business
to take care of.

A couple of days for reviewing this many fics is hardly a delay worthy
of an apology... :)

Series: Naruto
Title: Secrets and Lies
Chapter: One shot
Author: Aaron Nowack
Web site: http://www.mimiru.net/
Genre: Comedy/Parody
Status: Being revised.

Synopsis: Naruto has a secret.  So does Sasuke.  And Sakura.  Just how were
the genin teams picked again?

Review:

Aaron Nowack takes a break from Hundred Days, probably one of the finest
pieces of Naruto fanfic on the planet, and does a nice little funny fic.

Now, _this_ is funny. This is comedy. You know why?

Because there's a set-up. Then there's a punchline. And the writing makes it
funny and the timing is great.

Thank you for the kind words, and I'm glad you enjoyed the story.

And if you think that's easy, remember: drama is easy, _comedy_ is hard.

Indeed.  That would be why I write so much more drama than comedy.

I can't remember where I heard it, but it is so true: you can always
pretend to be serious, but you can't pretend to be funny.

Now use the formatting you use for Hundred Days, Aaron. The messy lines make
my head hurt.

Hmm.  I could have sworn that I sent this story through the same
formatting procedure as One Hundred Days.  I suppose not, though.

Do let me know if the next chapter of Hundred Days (hopefully coming out
in a week or so) also seems oddly formatted to you, just in case
something weird has happened with my formatting procedure.

Series: Ranma 1/2, Duck Tales
Title: Everyone has a master
Chapter: One shot
Author: Z�riHB / KawaiiImoto-e
Web site: http://zuerihb.googlepages.com
Genre: spamfic, comedy
Status: complete

Synopsis: Negotiating is every business person's number one skill.

Review:

Reading numbers is not fun - nor is it comedy.

Really.

Now, that is a masterpiece of a review!  :)

Anyway, see you again next week for another SLR!!!

Thank you for resurrecting this FFML tradition!
