[NonEarlyBird] Marked for Death, extra scenes for chapter 159

Author's Note: Chapter 159 was originally two scenes longer than it is in current canon. Included for your amusement are the two additional scenes. They are not canon to Marked for Death, meaning they don't count and nothing in them should be relied upon.This was originally the second half o...

[NonEarlyBird] Marked for Death - Chapter 159

Chapter 159: Third Options and Where to Find ThemNinja tended to want a bit more personal space than civilians—being constantly on watch for assassination had that effect on one. Deliberately or not (and Hazō had not the slightest doubt that it was deliberate), the proctors had crowded several hu...

[NonEarlyBird] Marked for Death, Chapter 158

Another chapter by OliWhail. I have macronized it and done a few typographic touch-ups but it is otherwise as originally written.Chapter 158: Neapolitan Reunions"Is it really you?" Hazō asked. "Really really?"Hana loosened her grip. "Check for yourself.""Kai!" Hazō ...

[NonEarlyBird] Chapters 156.3, 157.1, 157.2 -- Marked for Death

These are short, so I'm lumping them together.------------Chapter 156.3: Information GatheringKurosawa Ren, the Fifth Mizukage of the Village Hidden in the Mist, smiled. There were far too many teeth showing for Hazō's comfort."At this point, it is traditional for the host Kage to annou...

[NonEarlyBird] Marked for Death, Chapter 156.2: Commencement

Note:This chapter was written by the wonderful OliWhail. It has been macronized, formatted, a couple of typos have been fixed, and the footer section (XP award, voting time, etc) has been stripped. Other than that, it is shown as written.It's been a while since I posted an MfD chapter here, so a...

What should I be writing?

Hi folks! I'm looking for some feedback. Bear with me, this is going to be rambly.I've been having a lot of trouble writing for the last few months; I'm managing to maintain Marked for Death because I have so much momentum and an established audience, but working on other things has be...

[NonEarlyBird] Marked for Death Chapter 156.1

Note: This chapter was written by my illustrious and unfortunately erstwhile co-author OliWhail.Chapter 156.1: Boys and BlundersHazō's eyes were naturally drawn up to his old room in the barracks. A mental picture of the spartan accommodations came easily to mind ("IT BUILDS CHARACTER, YOU ...

[NonEarlyBird] Marked for Death - Chapter 155

Chapter 155: You Can't Go Home AgainJiraiya paused, clearly weighing whether or not to finish the thought; when he spoke again the words were heavy and slow. "And, of course, I could always have killed you later if I had had to."The shiver was back in Hazō's spine and it had brought...

[NonEarlyBird] Marked for Death - Chapter 154

Chapter 154: Pragmatic Bargains"Would this be a good time for me to ask everyone's advice?" Keiko asked carefully. "Jiraiya, I feel certain that today, like every day as Hokage, has been stressful for you. I do not wish to—"Jiraiya smiled and raised a hand to cut her off. "...

Chapter 153: Kagome versus the Seventh Path"Akatsuki, you say," Kagome said thoughtfully. "Well, what I know is—"He paused so as not to be interrupted by that weird gurgling screech that came from the bowels of the mansion every fifteen minutes between four and five pm. The Gōkets...

I Hits A Bits

Explanation, written for people with no context: I co-author a Naruto fanfic quest called Marked for Death. The events relevant to this short story go like this: Gōketsu Hazō is an extremely competent sealmaster (i.e. person who makes seals, which are paper-and-ink magic items) Hazō accidentally ...

Psychological Horror: 'Crime Prevention'

One of the Marked for Death players commissioned me to write psychological horror. It took far too many attempts, but I finally came up with something I'm relatively pleased with.

[AllPatrons] DCY Chapter 49

My apologies everyone, I'm a doofus. I went and posted this directly to SV, announced it, and then realized that I should have sent it to earlybirds first. Because of the mistake I'm sending this to all patrons at the same time. I'll be sure not to do that with the upcoming chapter 50, a...

This update is going to be broken into a few chunks because otherwise it would be excessively large.

[NonEarlyBird] DCY Character Sheets

As people hopefully know, I currently run two quests, Marked for Death and Dungeon Crawler You! DCY is my light and fluffy narrativist quest where there is (almost) no crunch and I can do Rule of Cool and Rule of Funny stuff if I want to. Despite that, I do actually have character sheets for the mai...

A blast from the past, back when Hazō's Alertness was competitive with that of his cohort. :>

Greetings, all! Attached is a zip file containing all of Dungeon Crawler You! from chapter 0 to chapter 45 (the most recent and currently unpublished one).

[NonEarlyBird] Wherefore Hagoromo Bigotry

This short story might only make sense to Marked for Death players, so if it isn't clear then please let me know.It's the first half of a commission from Noumero, who wanted some psychological horror. It provides the answer to a question that multiple players have asked: how did someone as p...

[NonEarlyBird] Chapter 150 - Marked for Death

Chapter 150, in various formats. I've added a new 'spoiler' tag to the HTML in the commentary. It seems like it didn't come through in the PDF version of the commentary and I'm not sure if it works in all ebook readers. Let me know if it's an issue.

[AllPatrons] Dungeon Crawler You - Chapters 1-4

"Dungeon Crawler You" (aka DCY) is my new quest that runs in the same multiverse as Dungeon Crawler Carl (DCC) and my fanfic of it, Dungeon Crawler Katia (DCK). As with all quests, I publish a chapter and then the readers get to vote on what the main characters should do next.As of July 1, 2...

[NonEarlyBird] Marked for Death: Toad Counseling

The Discord user NotAGazpacho commissioned me to write a piece about Ma and Pa Toad offering relationship counseling to Yuno and Noburi. I would have canonized it except that Noburi doesn't have enough chakra to summon both of them and that was a requirement of the commission. I hope you enjoy.

The final installment (unless someone hires me to make more, although I'll be charging a lot more next time because this was exhausting) of the Fourth Hokage's bad poetry.
