I hate doing these things, really, I'm lazy and a procastinator and to answer so many questions is just sick. :P If you have any questions, don't hesitate to comment. Anonymous commenting can be done too, so if you don't have a livejournal, you can still leave a question and I'll answer it A.S.A.P.
Frequently (and not so frequently) Asked Questions.
Are you going to write other pairings than ItaSaku?
I aim to become the ItaSaku 'queen' [Queen meaning I'd like to master ItaSaku in every way possible, whether a canon or AU story], so me writing other pairings than ItaSaku seems highly doubtable at this time. I might write some SasuSaku one day, but I won't post it on ff.net.
What are the other pairings you prefer?
I read pairings with Sakura only, since Ino and the others just don't fascinate me enough. ItaSaku, SasuSaku, NaruSaku, GaaSaku, KakaSaku, YamaSaku & NejiSaku are my favorite pairings with our favorite roseate kunoichi though.
Do you have a degree?
I'm amazed how many people asked me about this. No, not yet, I'm still attending high-school and I plan to study Japanese & Economics in two years from now.
Do you ever read other stories? I never catch you reviewing.
I read a lot of stories, but to be plain honest, I dislike reviewing. This is why I only review when a story has absolutely caught my attention and needs a review. I'm special like that. Besides, isn't it more thrilling when you get a review from someone who reviews perhaps 10 times a year? (Note that the only one I review on every chapter is Celtic Oak.)
Didn't you use to write Fushigi Yuugi fanfiction? What happened to them?
I'm surprised people even remember me from that. o_O Yeah, I used to write Fushigi Yuugi. I started out with them when I was 14 or something, and then went on hiatus for a year or something. When I wanted to start out again, I thought Fushigi Yuugi was getting boring and started writing Naruto fanfictions, then after a while, delete the Fushigi Yuugi ones, because honestly, they were embarassing and I wanted to list only Naruto fictions in my ff.net profile.
What's with you and character death?
My dear, where does good angst come from in Naruto? Character death! ... And Itachi. WELL GUESS WHAT? MitsukiShiroi uses both. Because she likes to make people cry and thinks that there cannot be angst without said factors.
Metamorphosis...
Evolution...
Salvation...
Twilight...
Memento...
**********...
Do you plan on writing more stories?
Though I doubted it a few days ago, I do intend on continuing to write stories in this fandom. I simple love it too much to be scared away by a bunch of low-lives who have no other intention than to make my writing life miserable.
Do you have stories planned?
Yes, one collab with Phantomica.
When are you gonna start that collab with Phantomica?
After Salvation is finished.
Why wont you write a collab with anyone else =O SPECIAL TREATMENT?!
I'm honored to write a collab with Phantomica, but if I would accept more collabs, I would kind of lose my own insights in stuff and I like working alone, though the idea we've formed for Twilight was amazing. So it's not special treatment, it's just a one-time thing.
Do you find Itachi OOC in your stories?
I do actually. I realize that every Itachi should be OOC; Itachi capable of loving is just not possible. So to make the relationship between Sakura & Itachi romantic, one must make Itachi OOC. Though I find that he's extremely OOC in the earlier chapters of Metamorphosis, which is precisely the reason why I'll be revising them.
Akatsuki is being OOC in your stories. Is this intentional?
I still firmly believe that every person has some good in him. Kisame being a fun drunk at times, Deidara being mushy when it comes to love, Sasori being angelic and serene most of the time, these are all examples in which I view Akatsuki. I don't wish to make them extremely OOC, but to make them ruthless killers only is too mundane for my taste and to be quite honest, I do feel that it's not fitting enough for the Akatsuki members to stay two-dimensional killers with no past and no other feelings.
I'd love to write a collab with you!
I'd love that too, but unfortunately, I'm getting loads of requests for this and have to deny them. Sorry.
Why do you dislike writing lemons?
I dislike writing smut, it's simple as that. I feel that making love can strengthen a bond and that precisely why I write it, to give the relationship more depth, but that's honestly the only reason.
Are you working on a novel?
As a matter of fact I am. It's small right now [100 pages only, I'm such a procastinator] but the idea of the entire story is set in my mind, together with the ending, so it's just a matter of working towards the end.
Can I translate one of your stories into my language?
Ofcourse you can ^^ Just credit me for the story and give me a URL when it's up so I can pimp it up at my profile page.
Do you take requests for fics?
Nope, sorry. I'm too busy with writing and other stuff at the moment to accept requests.
I often give suggestions, but you never use them. Why not?
Simply because I have the entire plot thought out already about my stories. I know exactly what will happen in what chapter and if I'd take suggestions like plotchanges, changes in the writing style or just simple sentences, it might throw it into dissaray. It doesn't mean I don't read them though.
Are you ever gonna write oneshots?
I have a SasuSaku oneshot planned, but I prefer novel-length stories over the oneshots. It gives more room to convey things than in oneshots.
Can I add you on msn?
I'd rather not, sorry. My MSN list at the moment is crowded with loads of people I've spoken to once or twice and can't remember anymore. I get added by people on a daily base so that can be a tad disturbing. My mail is up at ff.net for the purpose so that anonymous reviewers can contact me too, or in case the PM function doesn't work.
Can you PLEASE update soon? Geez, I've been waiting forever.
I don't think I've received this question from anybody on my livejournal list, but that's because they're actually able to read the reason, lol.
In honor of school, I've been restricted to work on the computer for 3 hours. Which makes it fairly impossible for me to vomit out chapters at the rate I used to have [One chapter a week] and reduced it to around one chapter a month. Please accept the fact that my school and my restriction make it hard for me to keep in touch with my friends AND write, so please be patient. I try the hardest I can, it's not like it's my fault that I'm four times as slow as I used to be with my chapters.
What happened to the recommendation list?
It was gone for a while, but I put it up again since a lot of people have been asking me for it. I'm screening it for friends only though, so you'd have to have a livejournal in order to view it. For those seeking to view the disapprovd list; I only give this right to a few people that I truly trust in seeing me as an unbiased person and know that they won't make a problem out of it.
Will you PLEASE beta my stories?!
I'd love to, really, but I just... lack time enough to write my own stories and beta other stories. Right now, the only story I beta is Poisoned Cherry Blossom, and that's quite enough for me. I'm really sorry, but I just can't handle more. T_T
Why do you have such an ego? You're behaving like an elitist bitch!
I guess it's just perceptions. I used to be a n00b too and promoted my fanfictions to some authors that wrote the same pairing, mostly because I wasn't too sure how stuff worked on ff.net. I didn't know whether people could find your fictions or if you had to direct them to it, so I basically went around and 'promoted' it until I realized that that was not the way to go and quit doing it. XD
Also, people think I'm a bitch because I hardly review and stuff and say that it's more special that way. Honestly, that's just my perception on things. Although I love and appreciate every review (even if it's a flame or harsh crit) I think it's more special when someone reviews who hardly reviews at all, because it shows that your story is so interesting and fascinating that that person had the urge to leave a comment behind, which is a beautiful thing imho. A lot of people don't agree with me on that, but that's your opinion.
I'm really not a bitch or anything, but I don't care if you think that way either. I don't have an ego either, in fact, I'm very insecure about writing and about plots and stuff. It's just the fact that I want to become an author that I keep on going on and don't give up on it. I don't think it's quite fair to judge someone on an essay they wrote in which they were harsh, and a mistake I made with the recommendation lists (and apologized for) and because I used to review often but changed my opinion on that.
But like I said, everybody is entitled to their own opinions.
You should watch what you're saying, shouldn't you?
I've been getting this question a lot and yes, I should. I guess I didn't quite realize how many people read my stories and livejournal and such until the ItaSaku essay and the recommendationlists surfaced.
I don't care for internet popularity, as most people call it. It's even quite sad imho as people strife to become famous on the internet and don't have a real life irl. But when I started writing and the trilogy became quite known to the fandom, I wasn't even aware that so many people read it. Of course, I saw the reviews, but it just didn't click with me until I posted up links to fanfictions I liked and I saw the reviews for those stories skyrocket because I recommended them; or people abandoning other stories because I disliked them and put that on a list.
For this reason, I've become quite afraid to post my opinion on anything, which is why the entire recommendationlist is unaccessable to everybody who I don't know particularly well. I also contemplated getting the ItaSaku essay off, but in the end, rewrote it, because a lot of people ask me for tips when it comes to characters and such, and the essay was helpful because I could just direct people to that place.
I don't even see myself as a 'popular' person on the internet. I'm just an eighteen year old girl behind a screen who has quite an imagination and writes that stuff down, like every other author for ff.net out there.
Is is true that people treat you like a celebrity?
Omg yes. Seriously, to everybody who's afraid to contact me and PM stuff to me, please don't. I've had PMs from people feeling giddy because it felt as if they were talking to a famous person, and that made me feel quite uncomfortable ^^;
Like I said before, I'm just your average teenage girl. There's nothing special about me, and internet popularity doesn't mean that you have to treat me like someone famous as well. ♥
Can I have your babies? ♥
I'd rather not go into labor, sorry. :P

My dear, where does good angst come from in Naruto? Character death! ... And Itachi. WELL GUESS WHAT? MitsukiShiroi uses both. Because she likes to make people cry and thinks that there cannot be angst without said factors.
- Where the hell is Sasuke?
When you're done reading Metamorphosis, you continue with Evolution and there all questions shall be solved. It's easy like that. - Why did Sakura leave Konoha?
Simply put, she wanted him back because she missed her team. And she loved him. Whichever you find more important. - Is Deidara really such a nice guy?
He's Akatsuki, ofcourse he's not. But I didn't care and made him the mushy Akatsuki member. Sue me. - Does Itachi love Sakura?
Such a big word. It's up to you whether to believe if he loves her or not.
- HOW COULD YOU KILL HIM?
I typed it out on Word, send it to Stem for betaing and posted it. Simple as that. - Why is Sakura so angsty?
... I will refrain myself from commenting about this and raving about the strength of true love. - Does Deidara love Sakura?
.... Well duh, he confessed. - I don't get the ending?!?
Neither do I. - Where is Sakura going?
Sky's the limit baby.
- OMFG, DEIDARA?
I know. - OMFG, ITACHI?
I know. - OMFG, KISAME?
I know. - OMFG, SASORI?
ENOUGH ALREADY. - I don't get it, who is paired up with who?
Itachi + Sakura, Kisame + Sasori, Deidara + Tobi, Hidan + Kakuzu. Leader + Blue-haired female. - What's the ending going to be like?
Angsty, dark, dramatic. Everything you expect from MitsukiShiroi. - Will there be another arc?
No. - Do you dislike Tobi?
No, I seriously love the little bugger. Though I can imagine the more experienced Akatsuki like Itachi and Deidara getting sick of him, thus I made him a little irritating. :P - Will Naruto meet up with Sakura at the end? I feel sorry for him
You'll see. - Will you write another arc? I really want to know what happens to Sakura and the others!
Nah, three arcs was enough. I needed three arcs to put in everything that I wanted in there and the story is now officially over. What happens after the end of Salvation? I'll leave that up to your imagination, although most of you can guess what happens in the end.
I love the Metamorphosis trilogy, but Salvation chapter 10 is seriously the end.
- Who are you working with?
Phantomica. Which is a great honor to me because when I asked her about making a collab, I actually expected her to laugh in my face. Imagine my surprise when she told me she was honored, lol. - What's it about?
I don't really want to reveal a lot about Twilight. Suffice to say that it's a very dark, very sad story. It's an AU, so expect different characters than the Metamorphosis trilogy and such. We'll be bringing some characters into the mix that I'm sure you don't expect. :P It's ItaSaku though, but there will be no DeiSaku this time around. - Do you think it's going to live up to the Metamorphosis trilogy
Hm, excellent question that's been asked numerous times. I'm not quite sure actually. Metamorphosis started out pretty... bland, imho, but drew a lot of readers and a lot of fans. I'm curious as to whether I can live up to it, because Metamorphosis and the two later installments, have become huge standards for me which I have to live up to, so I'm quite scared that readers won't like it. Twilight is completely different from Metamorphosis and in a very other direction than most of you will be expecting.
We'll see how it turns out. - Will the other Akatsuki play a significant role like your other stories?
Hm, I guess they will have a minor role, as opposed to my other stories. Don't expect any twisted love-triangle like ItaSakuDei and such for Twilight though. - How long will the story be?
Not that long. We estimated it at around 8 chapters, which is basically nothing when it comes to our record, haha. I didn't want to make it that long seeing as I do have my other project on which I'd like to work on, and Twilight is basically a short tale that has to be told. It doesn't span over years like Metamorphosis etc does. - Will Sakura end up with Itachi?
Who knows. - Why did Phantomica quit?
Unfortunately, she didn't feel like writing anymore, abandoned her own fictions and thus I continued on my own.
- Is this a repost?
Yes. - Why did you remove it the first time?
Quite franky, I was completely stuck and didn't think I'd ever finish it. So I pulled it off, until recently when I got my inspiration back. So I'm writing it again and hope to finish it off soon. :)
- What's the new story about?
Secret. ♥ - What's the name of the new fiction?
Secret. ♥ - Is it ItaSaku?
Yes, ofcourse! :D
Though I doubted it a few days ago, I do intend on continuing to write stories in this fandom. I simple love it too much to be scared away by a bunch of low-lives who have no other intention than to make my writing life miserable.
Yes, one collab with Phantomica.
