Karaoke Soul

Welcome to Karaoke Soul, which was once the long-lived Luna Riviera. Back then, it was a nomadic, all-in-one site that bounced from server to server, dependent on other people's generosity or whichever free servers I could stand. However, as I gained my own domain, pieces of it fragmented and spun off into mini-sites that focused on certain aspects, until one day there was nothing left but the writings, many of them from when I was much younger. After this last move (no really, this time's my last) I decided that it was time to give the old name a rest, and tidy things up before re-releasing it.

I chose the name Karaoke Soul for the rebirth, because most of everything I write is fanstuff, which I've always looked at as kind of a remixing of something else, namely someone else's story and characters. Some people dismiss fan fiction as a lesser form of writing, but I think it's just as interesting, if not moreso, to see what someone else sees in something already established, and how that balances out with how others also see it. Of course, most of it seems to involve unlikely romances and badly-written sex scenes by thirteen-year-olds who have no idea what's involved, but hey, the potential is there.

If you like the site, please feel free to link back.

It's been kind of quiet what with moving and all, but I'm relatively settled, and thus have had a little bit of time to work on writing. Wraiths and Strays, Acts III and IV are up, and I'm in the middle of debating between leaving Itachi's back story as a stand-alone, or adding it as Act V. Hmm.

Act II of Wraiths and Strays is up, after a sort of long wait. I tend to be fashionably late with updates, as you may be able to tell, but I'm currently in the process of moving states, and it's all manner of frustrating and time consuming. Hopefully, once things are settled in, things will be a bit speedier?

So, new fic -- Wraiths and Strays, Act I, up in the Naruto section. I'm about half-way done with the second act, but I figured I'd put it here while I was thinking about it. It's, um, about a month old. Oops. Also, it is ItaNaru, not so much now as later. There might even be mild porns, if I deem it worth it.

So, who wants to write me a ItaNaru/SasuNaru to the tune of Leonard Cohen's The Master Song? Because YES.
