The Anomaly - Ch. 3
Ch: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14
Miguel was not having a good day. Well, he hadn’t really been good in years, but recent months have been particularly unforgiving. Universes were collapsing and he didn’t understand why. He thought this issue would have been resolved after the incident over a year ago, but it's only gotten worse. 
At first he sent Spiders to contain the collapse as usual, but they just… never returned. So he began sending a team with them for protection and to investigate what was causing these collapses. None of them made it back. Except one. One of his Spiders managed to return, Spiderman of Earth-337, and reported his discovery. 
The Spot. Miguel should have known. 
No one had seen the multiversal villain since the battle of Earth-1610. He had done a number on them during the battle, they lost a lot of people that day and now the villain dared to take more. What was new was that the Spot now had a protege following him around. The Peter didn’t get a chance to get a good look at them as a Spiderwoman shoved him through a portal soon after the fight broke out and she realized the team was on the backfoot. All he could tell them was that the protege used some sort of throwing knives. After a bit of back and forth on the description, Miguel figured they were using throwing spikes. The rest of the team didn’t make it. That was a few days ago.
The Spot was a formidable opponent all on his own, and now there were two? 
Miguel had to plan accordingly. He had a team on standby for when they got another alert. The team consisted of twenty Spiders, including him and Peter B. They had another team also on standby just in case they needed back up. Jessica would not be involved. She still needed to rest and spend time with her newborn and the Society needed a reliable leader in case he didn’t make it. Miguel wanted to extend that to Peter B too, but he was one of the most experienced Spiders and would know how to handle a finicky situation if one arose. He briefly considered bringing in Hobie because, despite his reluctance to rejoin and his general distaste for authority, he was a powerhouse of a Spider. But the kid didn’t listen and that was the most important thing for a mission like this. 
“So there’s a problem.” Lyla appeared over his shoulder. 
“It's happening?”
“Yeah.”
“Assemble the team in the hangar.” He dropped from his platform. “We go in together.”
“On their way.” The lack of snark from the AI was a bad sign. It just emphasized how dangerous the situation with the Spot was. 
“Tell the backup squad to be on standby.”
“Miguel,” Jessica said, entering the room. 
“You are not–!”
“Going. I get it.” She walked beside him. “But someone’s got to be on monitor duty.”
Miguel sighed. “You should be at home with the baby.”
“I should be with you making sure you don’t die.” She poked his chest. “But I know where you’re coming from, and you’re right not to send me.”
He’d take that win. Spiders must have heard the alert go out. They parted like the sea. Nobody greeted them. He saw a few of the Spiders he called upon rushing ahead of him. He picked up his pace. “I’ll see you later,” he murmured to Jessica. 
“You better.” She sent him off with a light punch to his shoulder. 
The hangar was still mostly empty, but Spiders were filing in. He checked his gear and had Lyla run a diagnostic on the ship they were taking. They were losing time waiting for everyone to gather, but they needed to take precautions. He assigned eight spiders to close the hole tearing the universe apart and the rest would be focused on containing the Spot. They whipped up a prototype device to contain him. They just had to set up emitters and lure the Spot to the middle. In theory, it should work. It had to work. He couldn’t lose anymore people. 
“Hey, Miguel!” Peter B flipped into the hangar, clearly out of breath. 
“You’re late.”
“I got here as soon as I could!” He straightened out, for once actually looking like a Spiderman. “Had to drop Mayday off at home.”
Miguel ran a hand over his face. The man really needed to stop bringing his infant to work. “Stick with me. We’re short on time.” The group of Spiders looked at him with apprehension but still held determination in their shoulders. He was reminded that they have lost close to a dozen teams at this point, a dozen universes. Trillions lost. They had to get this done. “We’re ready.” 
They loaded into the spidership and launched through a portal. Miguel stared hard out of the viewport at the passing sea of red, pointedly ignoring Peter B’s eyes on his back. 
A hand came to rest on Miguel’s shoulder. “Hey, we’ll get him this time.”
“We better,” he growled. Because he didn’t want to think of what would happen if they didn’t. “We need to get the Spot to stand in the dimensional stabilization snare.”
“Oh, come on, we have got to have a better name than that.”
“Peter, this is serious.”
“Everything is serious with you.” He nudged Miguel’s side. “Get him in the snare. I got it.” He’d better because they were here. 
The door fell open and the Spiders were quick to go to their assigned positions. The blackhole opening up under Manhattan was big, bigger than what they normally dealt with. The delay in waiting for everyone lost them precious time. They’d have to make up for it. 
Miguel scanned the area for the Spot, instead he noticed three figures on an adjacent building. It was a Spiderman, a Gwen Stacy, and… a figure clad in black sitting by their feet. 
“That’s him,” Spiderman 337 said. “That’s the guy that killed my team.”
Him? That was the Spot’s protege? He didn’t know what he expected, but the guy was scrawny. He couldn’t have been more than 5'6 or 7. But he couldn’t deny that there was an air about him. The devil horns and the painted grin was a villain mask if he’d ever seen one. 
The Spiderman was speaking to him, in a panicked sort of way that was prevalent in most teen Peters. The little diablo rose to his feet, turning to say something to the couple. They found one, but the Spot was still missing. Where– 
A blur of red and blue flew past him. Peter B flung himself towards the trio. Miguel growled. He told the man to stick with him. “Spot is still at large. Keep a look out,” he said over comms, following after Peter. 
“Hey!” Peter called out to them. “You kids wouldn’t happen to have an explanation for all this, would you?”
Miguel landed silently next to Peter. “I told you to stick close,” he hissed. The young Spider and his Gwen recoiled, but Peter B simply waved him off. He didn’t miss the way the little diablo’s fingers twitched at his sides and the sound. 
“I’m just trying to figure out what’s going on.” Peter B wrapped an arm around the young Spider’s shoulders. 
The kid sputtered. “I-I don’t know. I was fighting the Goblin, and then Gwen was falling and I tried to reach her, but I–” he choked on his words. “He saved her.” He gestured to the little diablo. 
“And dooming your world along with her,” Miguel said. 
“What?”
He really wished Lyla could explain this, but they didn’t have the time. “Saving her disrupted the canon of this universe and tearing a hole in the fabric of reality.”
“No! What?!” The young Spider held onto his Gwen even tighter. 
“Woah, ok, let’s slow down–” Peter B said, trying to placate them. 
“He’s saying she was meant to die.” The little diablo finally spoke up, voice filtered through his mask. 
“That- that can’t be true!” He shoved Peter B away. “That can’t–”
“Look at the way they’re looking at you two. Of course it is.”
“Peter?” Gwen clung to his shoulders. He gripped her tight at the waist.
“Don’t listen to him, kid,” Peter B said. “He’s not exactly a good guy.”
“As opposed to the people telling you that your girlfriend should have died?” The little diablo leaned into the young Spider’s space. “Run, Spiderman, before they take her from you.”
High on adrenaline and strung tight in fear for his girlfriend, the young Spider ran, shot a web to fling them across to the next building. The little diablo knew that, and knew how to use that information to send the Spider out of reach. 
“Wait!” Peter B took a step to give chase, but Miguel stopped him. 
“We have bigger problems, Peter.” Miguel said, glaring at the short figure in front of them. “Where’s the Spot?”
The silver cuffs around his wrists shimmered, nanotech forming red holo-gauntlets with some very sharp claws. Miguel and Peter B shifted into a fighting stance, ready for whatever the scrawny villain threw at them, anticipation pumping in their chests. The only reason they hadn’t pounced already was because his posture was still relaxed, hands at his sides, even with two Spidermen ready to swing. 
The little diablo raised a hand slowly, telegraphed, and extended a finger. “Behind you.”
They both whipped around to see– Nothing. 
Even with his spidey sense, Peter B didn’t have enough time to dodge the fist from knocking him off the building. Miguel raised his arms to block a kick. The little diablo was strong, but he’s had worse. His talons out and teeth bared, he swiped at him, but missed. So he tried again and again, but it was dodged again and again. Damn, this guy was fast. Miguel couldn’t land a solid hit on him, but for as fast as he was, his punches lacked oomph. 
Peter B came flying back up, finally landing a decent hit on the little diablo, causing him to stumble back. “That was very not nice.”
“Well, maybe I’m not a very nice guy.” Blue electricity coursed up his arms as he put his weight into his next punch. 
Miguel was fast enough to block it, but that didn’t matter. His bones creaked in protest. His body locked up for a second as he was flung off the ledge. Him and his big mouth. He shot a web out right by the little diablo, pulling himself to try and grapple him. But like most of his attacks, the little diablo stepped back just in time to dodge it. The building crunched under his force, talons digging into the brick. 
The little diablo recoiled as if he had been hit. He jumped back, farther than a normal human would be able to. A bubble of black appeared next to him that grew and grew, until the Spot stepped out. “Mr. Ohnn,” he acknowledged.
The Spot placed a hand on his shoulder. “Hey, kid. You seem to be having a bit of trouble.” Kid? The gremlin running circles around him and Peter B was a kid? But that would explain the naivety in following the Spot of all people.
A scoff. “Hardly.”
Peter B and Miguel met eyes, before charging forward, hoping to catch the Spot off guard. But the kid shoved himself and the Spot back through the portal. They looked around for any sign of the duo, but they disappeared. 
The comms came alive. The Spot and his protege were attacking the repair team. Miguel whipped around just in time to watch the kid stab one of his Spiders in the chest. Shit. He and Peter launched themselves towards the converging Spiders. 
It was horrifying to realize how badly his Spiders were outmatched. Moreso when he realized that this was how his last dozen teams fell. The little diablo threw the spikes on his armband and even when they were dodged, the Spot made sure they hit with a small portal that took the Spiders by surprise. When the kid wouldn’t have enough time to dodge, the Spot backed him up with a portal, sending the punch right back. Their synergy would be worthy of admiration if it weren’t being used against his Spiders. In fact, as much as he loathed to admit it, his team were in obvious need of some team exercises compared to the villainous duo. One of his Spiders dodged a spike, but because he was blocking line of sight, the Spider behind him got hit with it. Damn it. Their numbers were working against them here. 
It was clear to him that the kid was the powerhouse between the two, as strange as it was to say that about such a small frame. All of the Spot’s moves were used to enable his attacks. That wasn’t to say that the Spot wasn’t powerful; many of the Society fell victim to him, so why was he taking a backseat to the kid? To train him up? To desensitize him to the violence? Was he making the kid kill his Spiders just for the hell of it?
Miguel cracked the pavement when he landed behind the Spot. His timing was good, the Spot just throwing a portal at Spiderman 337 and defenseless against Miguel grabbing his head and slamming it into the ground. He brought up his HUD beneath his lenses scanning where the containment device was. It was properly set up and active. Good. 
Miguel slammed the Spot into the ground again, but this time, he just pushed him through a portal. He snapped his hands back before it could close. He growled. “Peter!” 
“On it!” Peter B swung past him, heading straight for where the Spot popped back out. He was one of Miguel’s most experienced Spiders. He would get it done. 
Peter B was quick and finely attuned to his Spidey sense. He got a few good sneaky hits on the Spot, managing to use the portals effectively against the villain. With Miguel running in for the assist, the Spot was finally being put on the back foot. And while his and Peter B’s synergy might not be as good as it could be, Peter B’s laid back attitude complimented his need to take charge. 
The Spot stopped letting them get in easy hits, using more effective portal placement. But as he focused more on them, the less help he gave to the kid. 
The little diablo was still difficult to hit, but less of his blows were landing. The throwing spikes missed more than hit and when they did it was more grazes than definitive sticks. Frustrated, he took a chance, practically throwing himself at Spiderwoman 229, who easily caught his swing. 
Finally, they were winning. 
The Spot noticed it too. “Kid, cool your head!
The little diablo snarled, grabbing the Spider holding onto him and stabbing her in the gut with his claws. She stumbled back. His hand came free with a sickening squelch, before plunging right back into her chest. 
Dios mio. 
The sooner they contained the Spot the sooner they could detain the kid and get him some help. Being under the Spot’s thumb could not be good for the psyche. No kid should be so… willing to kill. For the Spiders, for the multiverse, for this kid, the Spot needed to be brought down. 
The fact that the Spot was still paying attention to the kid’s fight meant this was their chance. Miguel punched harder, Peter B swung faster, corralling him back where the Spiders had spun their web. He didn’t even see it coming. 
The red cage sprung to life, an advancement on their containment unit designed especially to stop the Spot from portaling out. The villain threw his portals, but none of them were able to get past. He slammed his fist pathetically against the wall. 
Good. Now that that was handled they just needed to – 
The air crackled, crisp static danced on Miguel’s palate. The cage shattered right before his eyes. The little diablo landed in front of him. Mierda. The kid caught him with an electrified uppercut. 
Peter B tried to web him, but it was easily dodged. A spike flew his way. He jumped to dodge it. There was a second spike, he spun midair so it only grazed his suit, but the third one sank into his shoulder. He grunted at the impact. 
The kid stuck a hand out, electricity sparked along his fingers and shot straight at Peter B’s shoulder. He screamed, sinking to his knees. 
“Quick thinking, kid!” The Spot commended. 
The little diablo huffed. “I dumped their gear.” He gestured vaguely to the blackhole steadily growing behind them.
Sure enough, when Miguel turned, the metal dimensional stabilizers were gone, presumably thrown in the ravenous blackhole. His Spiders were either dead on the ground or close to it. 
“Looks like we’re done here,” The Spot said, wrapping an arm around the kid’s shoulders. The little diablo stared at Miguel. “Unless you have something else in mind.”
This was it. Miguel was going to die here. They lost again. Miguel wasn’t enough to stop them. He had to hope Jessica would be. Damn it, he didn’t want to put her in that position. He needed to win here. But he failed. Not the first time, but it looked like it was going to be his last. 
But he wouldn’t go down without a fight and he would do his damnedest to give the rest of the Spiders enough time to get up and get out. It didn’t matter if he died, he had no one left and Jessica would be there to take his place and lead–
“No.” That one word hit harder than any of the hits the little diablo landed on him today. 
It would be a stretch to call this mercy, because he looked at Miguel like this was natural. That this was the inevitable result. They were more prepared for him than he ever was for them. Months of turmoil, weeks of planning meant nothing.  
The little diablo turned his back to Miguel, dismissive, because Miguel wasn’t a threat. “Let’s go.”

Any chance you have a list of Naruto episodes that mainly focus on Sasuke? I kinda want to rewatch, but only remember the arc with Sasuke vs 5 kage/Dei/Ita/Danzo.
Not right on hand, no, but I can comb through and let you know which parts I tend to watch when I miss him! You only listed eps from Shippuden but I’ll include original series anyway ^^ I organized this by arc; beginning part has my commentary and then just a list after. I bolded the ones I actually do rewatch a ton.
This got really long so here’s a tl;dr for the parts I recall/can be bothered to find and the rest is under the cut.
ORIGINAL SERIES: 3-5, 6-8, 10-15, 16, 19, 22, 24, 28-30, 33, 39, 66-68, 75-76, 81-85, 101, 107-110, 128-135.
NARUTO SHIPPUDEN: 1, 51-53, 113-114, 115-118, 121-126, 135-beginning of 139, 140-141, 143-144, 152, 202-203, 204, 208-211, 212-216, 220, 331, 333, 334-335, 337-339, 341, 366, 370, 373, 474-479.
ORIGINAL SERIES
Prologue - Land of Waves
There’s pretty decent focus on him for the first part basically up until he passes out in the Forest of Death. Episodes I like to rewatch a lot for Sasuke specifically are 3-5, and 16, which is where Sasuke sacrifices himself protecting Naruto (I usually prefer to read the Zabuza arc bc I feel like the battles drag out too long in the anime). A more comprehensive list would probably be like… 3-7 (one of Sasuke’s first battles with the Demon Brothers is there), I really don’t like watching Zabuza’s battle with Kakashi in the anime but episode 8 has Naruto and Sasuke tag-teaming to help free him, episode 11 and maybe (?) 10 have Sasuke and Naruto eating a lot and training and etc., and then 12-16 cover Sasuke fighting Haku and Naruto eventually showing up to help. Sasuke wakes up and they ask Kakashi some insightful questions in 19.
3-5, 6-8, 10-15, 16, 19 
Chuunin Exams & Konoha Crush
I don’t really rewatch this one a ton but episode 22 is the Rock Lee Beats Sasuke’s Ass ep, 24 is the Sasuke Figures Out You’re Supposed to Cheat on the Chuunin Exams Test ep which I enjoy personally but also don’t really watch a lot, 28-30 for the Sasuke vs Orochimaru stuff in the Forest of Death, 33 for Sasuke going sicko mode on the Sound ninja, 39 for Sasuke using Lee’s jutsu to beat that one guy’s ass in the prelims, 66-68 is Sasuke vs Gaara but I don’t rewatch this a lot and prefer reading it in the manga bc the anime drags it out way too much imo, I actually don’t rewatch their confrontation in the forest much either but I think (???) it’s eps 75 & 76.
22, 24, 28-30, 33, 39, 66-68, 75-76
Search for Tsunade
I watch 81-85 a lot. That’s where Itachi returns to the Village and we get our first real bit of insight into Sasuke’s past– this is usually one of the first things I’ll rewatch when I’m missing Sasuke. He’s in a coma for the rest of the arc, though. I also watch 101 which is the Kakashi’s mask filler ep and doesn’t really focus on Sasuke particularly but it’s fun watching him freak out.
81-85, 101
Sasuke Recovery Mission
107-110 cover Naruto and Sasuke’s rooftop fight and Sasuke making up his mind to leave the Village. A lot of things about this piss me off a lot lol so I actually don’t rewatch a lot. 128-135 is Sasuke and Naruto’s battle at the Valley of the End. There’s a lot of Uchiha lore embedded here and I like his fight with Naruto so I rewatch this battle a lot.
107-110, 128-135
I don’t watch any of the filler after this.
So to summarize, the Sasuke parts of original series that I can recall are: 3-5, 6-8, 10-15, 16, 19, 22, 24, 28-30, 33, 39, 66-68, 75-76, 81-85, 101, 107-110, 128-135.
NARUTO SHIPPUDEN 
Kazekage Rescue Mission
The first episode teases Sasuke’s later return and is also just generally nostalgic if you’re into that. I also just like the opening for this arc lol.
1
Tenchi Bridge Reconnaissance Mission
Sasuke’s first appearance in part two and his reunion with Naruto are episodes 51-53. I don’t rewatch these a lot mainly just because I rewatched them all the time when I was 14 and got bored of it.
51-53
Itachi’s Pursuit Mission/Master’s Prophecy and Vengeance
Finally good stuff. Episodes 113-114 cover Sasuke killing Orochimaru– I prefer reading this in the manga to watching it so I don’t actually rewatch it a lot. In 115 Sasuke picks up Suigetsu and the episode is a bunch of filler stuff that wasn’t in the manga but it’s fun so I rewatch that one a lot. 116-118 are where he picks up Karin and Juugo and forms Taka which is *chef kiss* golden content. 121-122 are Taka looking for Itachi… I find this stuff kinda boring so I don’t rewatch it so much unless I’m in a particular mood. 123-126 cover Sasuke’s battle with Deidara, which is awesome, but I prefer reading it in the manga, and Taka taking care of him, which is very cute… 135-138 and the beginning of 139 are Sasuke’s battle against Itachi, which is also golden content that I rewatch a lot (though admittedly I tend to just type “Sasuke vs Itachi” into YouTube and watch it there than actually watch the episodes for some reason). 140-141 are Sasuke finding out the truth about the Uchiha clan– I think along with episodes 81-84 in the original series and Sasuke vs Danzou these are the episodes I rewatch the absolute most. 143-144 are Sasuke and Taka joining the Akatsuki– 144 specifically is the Taka vs Killer Bee fight which I watch a lot. 
113-114, 115-118, 121-126, 135-beginning of 139, 140-141, 143-144
Pein’s Assault/The Two Saviours
If I recall correctly, episode 152 is where Sasuke speechifies at Tobi and tells him he doesn’t care if people see him as childish, he wants to destroy the Leaf, blah blah. This speech is real good but I tend to read it in the manga– I’ll bold it anyway though because I read it a ton.
152
Five Kage Summit/The Assembly of the Five Kage
You mentioned this one in the original ask but since we’ve come this far anyway I’ll say the parts I like. I love this arc, it’s definitely one of my favourites in the entire series. I think 202 is where Sasuke fights all the Samurai, 203 is where Sasuke meets Gaara again and they fight (lmfao I opened the episode on Crunchyroll to check that I’m thinking of the right one and look where I stopped last time)
Tumblr media
Maybe I like SasuGaa? Anyway, in 204 Sasuke ditches Taka to go after Danzou, then Danzou vs Sasuke and Sasuke’s betrayal of Karin is 208-211, which I mentioned above is among the like, top three things I watch the most when I’m missing Sasuke, along with Itachi vs Sasuke in both original series and Shippuden. 212-216 are Team Seven finding Sasuke again and Sakura trying to kill him and Naruto and Sasuke talking to each other in their heads and blah blah… the only part of this I tend to watch a lot is Sasuke’s interaction with Kakashi because I find this part really annoying. In 220 Sasuke gets eye surgery.
202-203, 204, 208-211, 212-216, 220
Fourth Shinobi World War: Climax/The Great Ninja War - Sasuke and Itachi
Crunchyroll’s not super great about breaking the next parts into seasons and I’m lazy so I’m basically just gonna talk about the rest of the war arc. I know it’s a million parts long but I just think of it all as “The War Arc” anyway.
Sasuke’s out cold recovering from surgery from most of the beginning of the War arc and doesn’t wake up til 331 (there’s also good Taka content in this ep– Suigetsu and Juugo looking for Sasuke, and Karin breaking out of jail). He catches up with Itachi in 333 - I rewatch this one a lot but I’m more likely to reread it. 334-335 is Sasuke and Itachi vs Kabuto, and 336 is too but it’s more Kabuto-focused. Focus comes back to Sasuke and Itachi for 337-339– and 339 is where Itachi says the “I will love you forever” line. I rewatch that episode a ton. In 341, he meets up again with Suigetsu and Juugo and brings back Orochimaru– I tend to reread this a lot in the manga but not watch it. 366-370 are when he gets Orochimaru to bring back the Hokage, but most of it is Hashirama talking, so the Sasuke-focused ones are 366 & 370 (I tend to rewatch this entire part a lot though because I love the Hashirama & Madara stuff). In 373 he joins back up with Team Seven and says he wants to be Hokage and blah blah blah. I think that’s basically the last episode of the anime I actually bother watching sometimes. I thought about combing for the Team Seven stuff where they’re fighting aliens and the prophecy and whatnot, but everything is really fucking scattered after this part and I tend to just skip around for Sasuke content in the manga because I can’t deal with the anime, especially because this is around where the anime famously released a new episode weekly for a year and only eight of those episodes weren’t filler. The Naruto vs Sasuke stuff is 474-479 and a whole metric ton of it is filler that makes me sick to my stomach so I never watch it, but I figured I’d mention it anyway.
331, 333, 334-335, 337-339, 341, 366, 370, 373, ?????????, 474-479
So to summarize, the Sasuke parts of original series that I can recall/bother looking for are: 1, 51-53, 113-114, 115-118, 121-126, 135-beginning of 139, 140-141, 143-144, 152, 202-203, 204, 208-211, 212-216, 220, 331, 333, 334-335, 337-339, 341, 366, 370, 373, 474-479 (which you couldn’t pay me to rewatch).
I love recapping so, tl;dr:
ORIGINAL SERIES: 3-5, 6-8, 10-15, 16, 19, 22, 24, 28-30, 33, 39, 66-68, 75-76, 81-85, 101, 107-110, 128-135.
SHIPPUDEN: 1, 51-53, 113-114, 115-118, 121-126, 135-beginning of 139, 140-141, 143-144, 152, 202-203, 204, 208-211, 212-216, 220, 331, 333, 334-335, 337-339, 341, 366, 370, 373, 474-479.
Happy watching!

Hey Steph? I don't know if you read a lot of fanfiction or not, but if you do, do you have a fluff guide?

Question tag for AO3 writers~~
I found the original questions on AFF a while back, and I thought since I’ve been tagged in so many meme things lately, I’d also tag a bunch more people in this one XD Since the questions were designed for AFF, I’ve reworked some of them to fit for AO3 writers. I also removed two questions rather than trying to translate them to AO3 terms. So, I’ll fill out my answers first, and then put the blank questions again at the bottom for you to easily copy and paste!
1. How did you come up with your username and what does it mean?
SIFU_HOTMAN because Zuko is one of my favorite characters and honestly Aang calling him “Sifu Hotman” is hilarious. 
2. Which fanfic of yours has the most feedback? (bookmarks/subscriptions/hits/kudos)
Exactly My Type by a long shot, lol. 
3. What is your AO3 profile icon and why did you choose it?
It’s Izaya Orihara to represent the trash on my page. 
4. Do you have any regular/favourite commenters?
Yes! I’m shocked when I read through my comments and see how often the same people will comment on each chapter. And there are definitely one or two that I look forward to seeing. I recognize a ton of usernames on AO3 but I don’t know many of them on here.  
5. Is there a fanfic that you keep going back to read again and again?
THIS fic by the super-talented @courtingstars! I swear I’ve reread this fic like 6 dozen times at this point, as well as the sequel! (For real tho, I could probably recite this fic word for word, I love it so much. AkaFuri fans, if you haven’t checked it out, I can’t recommend it enough!)
6. How many stories are you subscribed to? How many do you have bookmarked?
I’m guilty of not subbing or bookmarking that much, because it got to the point where I had so many that it kinda made it pointless, lol. But I’m subscribed to 2 users, and 5 fics, and I have 46 bookmarks. 
7. Which AU do you find yourself writing the most?
I don’t really write AU’s all that much? (I think I only have 2, the Nanny/Single Parent AU and a Red String of Fate AU). I definitly want to try doing more tho! I was super nervous about the Nanny/Single Parent one, but now it’s my hightest hitting fic! And it was from a prompt! lol
8. How many people are subscribed and bookmarked to you in total? (you can view this on the stats page)
Total bookmarks: 311 Total subs: 337
9. Is there something you’d like to write about but are afraid of people judging you for it? (Feeling brave? If so, share it!)
The only thing I can think of right now is I want to get better/ more comfortable with writing smut lmao. I’ll conquer it one day! 
10. Is there anything you would like to be better at? Writing certain scenes or genres, replying to comments, updating better, etc.
Updating better, for sure. It eats me alive that it’s been almost a year since I started Exactly My Type, and I’ve only written 5 chapters! It’s so hard to find time with all the overtime at work, and with everything else. BUT that’s something I definitely plan on changing. 
And maybe replying to comments? I generally don’t reply (I feel so bad about this, I’m so sorry. Comments just make me an incoherent mess and I’m never sure how to reply without rambling and making an idiot of myself)
11. Do you write rarepairs or popular ships more often?
Is AkaFuri a rarepair? I know it was more considered one a while ago, but I don’t know anymore. I guess whatever category they fall under, that’s it lol. 
12. How many stories have you posted on AO3 to this day (finished and unfinished)?
Eight! Which is eight more than I thought I would write. 
13. How many stories do you have saved in/with your writing program?
I have 30 stories saved on Google Docs. (I’m shocked? lmao)
14. Do you write down story ideas, or just keep them in your head?
Everything in my head. My ten hour shifts at work mostly consist of me staring off into space and writing fan fiction in my head. 
15. Have you ever co-authored a story?
Other than bouncing ideas off of a friend, no. It sounds fun tho!
16. How did you discover AO3?
Searching for ATLA fanfiction like, 4 years ago. After reading everyting FanFiction.net had to offer, I found AO3 and immediately made the switch. 
17. Do you consider yourself to be a popular or famous author in your fandom(s) on AO3?
God, no lmao. I think I’m IN the AkaFuri barrel, but far from the top of it.
18. Do you have a nickname or fandom name for your readers?
Not that I know of? I get comments about how much people like my username sometimes, so I’m cool with it if people just wanna call me Sifu Hotman lmao.
19. Was there an author who inspired or encouraged you to write?
My inspiration mainly came from a desire for more AkaFuri fics, lmao. But there were a few amazing writers who reallllly made me want to try writing, and I was encouraged plenty by my best friend, so here I am lol. 
20. What writing advice would you give to a beginning author?
To just write. I worried for so long (and I still do) about not being good enough, or making a mistake, or failing. But the only way to get better at writing is to write! If someone doesn’t like you’re story, odds are you’ll either get some helpful advice, or feedback on the part they did like. Even if you don’t want to post it publicly, just write it out anyway. I think I’ve improved so much since the first thing I wrote, and I hope I get even better the more I do it. 
21. Do you plot out your stories, or do you just figure it out as you go?
Again, spending 10 hours a day, 5 days a week in my own head, I get most of my stories down to the tiniest details before I even get to a computer. Once I sit down, some things may change or come out different, but I rarely go to write without having any idea. 
22. Have you ever gotten a bad comment on a story? If so, what did you do?
Actually... no, I don’t think I have.
23. Is there a certain type of scene that you have a hard time writing? (action, smut, etc..)
Smut, for sure lol. 
24. What story(s) are you working on now?
Fucking chapter 6 of Exactly My Type! (I just broke 6K the other day, and it’s not even halfway done). After that, I’m on to Defying Fate, with a couple of prompts inbetween. 
25. Do you plan your next project(s) before you finish your current ongoing story(s)?
Sorta...I guess. Exactly My Type happened because of a prompt request that got waaaay out of control, so that was poor planning on my part lmao. 
26. Do you have a daily writing goal set for yourself?
Not at all. I just go for it whenever I get the chance. 
27. Do you think you’ve improved as a writer since you first started?
100% yes. I want to crawl into a hole whenever I think about my first fic, lol. 
28. What is your favorite story that you’ve written?
I’m gonna shove the AkaFuri away for a second and go with Absolutely Baked. Mayuzumi is my favorite character to write for, and I think I got some pretty funny dialogue in that one. It makes me laugh, and the extra chuckles my friend and I got while discussing it were totally worth it. 
29. What is your least favorite story that you’ve written?
I don’t think I have a least favorite? If I had to pick probably my first fic, Emperor's Weakness. 
30. Where do you see yourself (as a writer) in 5 years?
Hopefully still writing fanfiction, lol. I would like to try writing some original work, but I doubt it. 
31. What is the easiest thing about writing?
Dialogue, I think. Once I get in a characters head, I find it very easy to write from their point of view. 
32. What is the hardest thing about writing?
Getting a full plot to run together. I’m pretty good at getting certain scenes down, but I have trouble piecing them all together sometimes. 
33. Why do you write?
Simply, because it’s fun. I know how happy it makes me when I read a super-awesome fic, and I like the feeling I get when someone tells me I gave them the same feeling. 
Anyways that’s all the questions, so I’ll put them here as well without the answers to easily c+p.
1. How did you come up with your username and what does it mean? 2. Which fanfic of yours has the most feedback? (bookmarks/subscriptions/hits/kudos) 3. What is your AO3 profile icon, and why did you choose it? 4. Do you have any regular/favourite commenters? 5. Is there a fanfic that you keep going back to read again and again? 6. How many stories are you subscribed to? How many do you have bookmarked? 7. Which AU do you find yourself writing the most? 8. How many people are subscribed and bookmarked to you in total? (you can view this on the stats page) 9. Is there something you’d like to write about but are afraid of people judging you for it? (Feeling brave? If so, share it!) 10. Is there anything you would like to be better at? Writing certain scenes or genres, replying to comments, updating better, etc. 11. Do you write rarepairs or popular ships more often? 12. How many stories have you posted on AO3 to this day (finished and unfinished)? 13. How many stories do you have saved in/with your writing program? 14. Do you write down story ideas, or just keep them in your head? 15. Have you ever co-authored a story? 16. How did you discover AO3? 17. Do you consider yourself to be a popular or famous author in your fandom(s) on AO3? 18. Do you have a nickname or fandom name for your readers? 19. Was there an author who inspired or encouraged you to write? 20. What writing advice would you give to a beginning author? 21.

Is there a certain type of scene that you have a hard time writing? (action, smut, etc..) 24. What story(s) are you working on now? 25. Do you plan your next project(s) before you finish your current ongoing story(s)? 26. Do you have a daily writing goal set for yourself? 27.

Stanford is still the most not bothered school in the nation
Stanford is still the most not bothered school in the nation
  When things will not have gone so well with the Or even of Dayton on Sunday, last night Stanford University use bragging liberties as the most not bothered school in the united states.
Once again besting Harvard at a game the particular Crimson completely outclassed for years, irrespective of whether Stanford published a quite a few. 07 % admit rate— the lowest around university heritage and budget friendly in the local.
Stanford obtained a whopping forty two, 167 programs for the School of 2018— 8. ?tta percent through last year’s applications. Keep away from, 748 learners were agreed on through Stanford’s restrictive beginning action plan. And on Monday evening, a surplus 1, 390 applicants acquired highly coveted admit news, while 958 students ended up offered a chance to sit on the very waitlist.
In accordance with Colleen Lim, director associated with undergraduate entry, fewer individuals were said this year on account of an amazing increased Stanford’s yield(percent of college students accepting a proposal admission) within the last few four decades.
‘Stanford’s the repute of excellence world wide has undoubtedly impacted the application phone numbers, ‘ Lim said to the Stanford Day to day.
  Last year here, Stanford’s own up rate fallen to 5. 8 percent by 6. 6 percent around 2012, as well as for the first time overcome Harvard in terms of selectivity. This, Harvard not just experienced your drop within applications (34, 295 by 35, 023), but also elevated its selectivity from a few. 8 to 5. 9 p . c.
Although the competition to see that school can certainly admit this percent connected with applicants just particularly attractive, make certainly no mistake— these schools detect and treasure what the others are doing.
Actually , it’s a adventure driven through the desire to be Ideal. And it most of supports the particular US Reports ranking machine top tier educational institutions love to hate.
While Stanford won the main selectivity levels of competition for the Elegance of 2018, the true check will come whenever numbers are usually tallied plus final produce is calculated.
Harvard has got traditionally featured of a better yield compared to Stanford, nevertheless even this particular difference is certainly shrinking while more pupils elect to visit west and reap the benefits of all year round sunshine. And when relative produces get much closer, there are some variations at the top of typically the US Information rankings.
‘I wonder the total number of of those of the folk will accept Stanford’s offer. Of course, who wants to are in a town with Romance language architecture together with a bunch of geese? Eww…, ‘ remarked your commenter within the Stanford Day to day website.
A good number of, evidently.
Early results from Common Applying it
Now that airborne debris is choosing a to some degree chaotic component season, folks at the Prevalent App own begun crunching numbers to become more focus on typically the 754, 545 ‘unique’ job seekers who enlisted with the method and developed applications to 517 person institutions this current year.

Because Common Request continues to receive its family home in order for the revolutionary year, related to 30 organisations were allowed by the Enter for inclusion to the roster of part institutions (contracts are being discussed and bands haven’t already been released yet). Presumably any permanent executive director are going to be announced quickly, and options are going toward bring almost all technical operates in-house.
For the time being, seniors happen to be mulling around responses out of what is a strange season, counselors will be readying closing reports, schools are within the what their valuable future romance will be together with the Common Software package, and the procedure is getting set to start yet again on Ones 1 .

An amount of blockbuster mergers have received (commonly damaging) focus from media as well as competitors authorizations in current months. In other words, the FTC's selection made that far too quick and easy to efficiently test unique working arrangements, which are generally procompetitive, as well as calls into question all form of procompetitive full-line compeling agreements. Omicraft provides Ford the opportunity to take a stab at taking over a number of that business for itself. It made use of to become that two-tone inner parts looked designed by doing this, and now they simply appear to have actually been actually crafted coming from parts for unique cars and trucks.

After a prominent repeal from over 1 million lorries due to a concept imperfection associated with the shifter made use of along with the ZF eight-speed transmission, Fiat Chrysler perhaps felt this resided in the crystal clear regarding rollaway dangers were regarded. That ability will definitely remain unless as well as till Section 337 is actually modified to create that an Internet Protocol burglary just" law. Additionally, the Management must take extra specific useful actions, consisting of, for instance: (1) demanding that the agency regulative reform recommendations called for by the Purchase be evaluated by Office of Administration as well as Finances's skilled governing evaluation branch, the Workplace from Info and also Regulatory Issues (OIRA); (2) publicly devoting to ferreting out of non-cost-beneficial and anticompetitive regulations, on the basis from OIRA customer reviews of company recommendations; and (2) readying a distinct legislative plan from targeted lawful reforms to reduce the trouble of federal government regulation, which can be occupied due to the following Administration.

As the report keep in minds, court of laws typically state that monopoly power could likewise be actually revealed via straight proof, however when one checks out those decisions, one locates that court of laws nearly certainly never (as well as perhaps never) locate cartel electrical power or a hazardous likelihood in area 2 scenarios without initial searching for that the agency has a big market portion.
