Yes. No matter how good you get, there is always someone who can thoroughly own you. My brother is a prime example. He's a seasoned gamer and fantastic at Soul Caliber. Then TwistedChick comes along (being neither seasoned nor talented at most games) and proceeds to pound him into a little pile of dust.
I hope you enjoy the competition and thrashing (not to sound masochistic) once you recieve it.
Heh, yard work can be very trying, especially when there's a lot to be done. o_O Half an acre is nice for space, but that does mean tons to do.
I've noticed that we have a lot of Naruto fan words going up. I have a short story that is written but I'm cleaning up before I get a second go over.
I'm thinking you'll like it since it's original fiction. Something that I'll have to put under personal I guess since we don't really have a category for it otherwise. XP
Oh joy. My family is about to embark on the great journey of home and yard remodeling so I'm sure we'll feel your pain very soon. Currently our back yard is a large slab of mud with little rivers in it. Not very attractive.
Is the "hurt" occuring during Brawl due to being thrashed? Or due to thrashing? I'd love to play that game ^-^
Yard work, huh? I agree, it's tiring. If I had to choose, I'll go with washing the dishes.
And yeah, I did notice that there's a lot of Naruto fanfics here in theOtaku. Not exactly a big fan of fanfics though; I prefer the essays, which seems to be significantly outnumbered by the fanfics.

All the well-editing fic-writers seem to only be into writing the Naruto fic.
Well... Naruto seems to be the current mainstay of anime fic writing (even moreso than other popular anime), sort of like what Gundam Wing was back in the day. So I don't think prolific fic writers naturally gravitate to the Naruto fandom; I think the sheer number of Naruto fic writers just makes it far more probable for you (or anyone) to run into a few good Naruto fics in comparison to any other fandom.
Case in point, on ff.net Bleach has over 15,000 fics in its category, whereas Naruto has over 140,000.
Now I'm not saying that Naruto is the ONLY fanfic that comes out . . . it's just that the other ones don't get published 'cause they're not of a high enough quality.
All the well-editing fic-writers seem to only be into writing the Naruto fic. Like, I've seen a fair share of Bleach fics, but they're usually cluttered with spelling errors and stuff.
I know how that's like, working while the parents sit. I understand my dad's job is fairly taxing on the body, but my mom does the exact same thing her dad used to do: delegate and supervise. It makes my brothers and I angry when she's sitting at the computer playing solitare when we're the ones running around cleaning up everything. We'd complain about how she's lazy, but then she wouldn't drive us anywhere anymore or make my brothers' lunches in the morning or anything like that. We don't need mom on total strike.
I do believe that the sheer amount of Naruto fanfiction is enough to make anyone want to scream. It's pretty sad when there's 38 Naruto FanWords here and only one thing for the television section. It's like a disease, nearly. I've already planned out that when I do eventually upload my Naruto fanfiction, I will say somewhere that I hate them all. Seriously, there are other anime out there... why can't they understand that?

So your mom has become a dreaded taskmaster, eh? That kind of sucks. Look at it this way though, eventually the yard work will be done and then maybe you can wait another few years before doing it again.
Yeah, that's why I want to try coming up with some shorter stories. I don't want to bore someone with 20+ pages. I guess long fics are like buses, you don't see any for awhile and then they all arrive at once.

I am still jealous of you, playing Brawl... I guess I'll just... have to enjoy Australia and stuff, and wait for Brawl when I get back to the States.
Heh, "precipitation"? That seems like a rather cold alternative to "rain"... haha, oh well.

@ShikamaruRocks:
Well, hypothetical thrashing. I haven't been tested just yet, so I've yet to be truly thrashed by anyone just yet.
It'll happen, though.

You have my sympathy re: the yard work. Well, hopefully the labor will at least help you sleep real soundly for the next few days.

You have Brawl, eh? Friend code? Not that I have much time to play right now, but during the summer ...

Well, I don't mind the long fics. Just that it happened that there were a LOT today.
People making use of the good weather, maybe?
