Hello all, The Doctor here. I just took time out from saving the world for the umpteenth time to discuss a grave matter here on the Naruto Fanon Wiki.

I'd like to discuss the growing lack of tact here since my return and that was in effect when I left, on two different occasions. It seems that certain writers here do not create characters to be something that reflects their skill and ability as a writer and would rather create behemoths because and I quote "It's far easier to make a Kage than a Genin".

I remember when this wikia was about creating quality articles and while I have been around nearly since the founding (as I joined that summer, 6 months after its conception), I have seen it go up and down, and these ebbs and flows have been severe. Nary was the day when a user could use the Rinnegan and not blatantly copy Nagato or the Sage of Six Paths (As I have done it before, and my character was not a user of the full power of the eyes.) or a Jinchuuriki who has to gain experience and doesn't immediately have control over their beast.

Where has the story element of creation gone? I think at this point the only "active" characters who have been around since the sites conception and hasn't had its original story severely retconed is Ryun Uchiha as it is still roughly the way it was in the past albeit he did delete and start over using the same basic formula.

Why is it that as soon as a new power is introduced it is swarmed with clone articles here? I know that yes my current character Naoto holds the Six Paths Yin Power, but I explained how he came to obtain it by being the descendent of Hamura Ōtsutsuki, not by it being granted to him by Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki. And The power itself hasn't manifested within him yet (as it will in the course of the story).

I returned here and saw several clones of the Shinju, and only a few of those clones was an actual original concept.

Now I ask you all, is this all we are capable of? I come here to write and create characters as an outlet for ideas that I develop and to discuss the plausibility of certain things that may or may not fit in universe. As an English Literature Major in college, I would think that I and my fellow writers would take pride in their work and not have it be a hodgepodge conglomeration of all of the canon elements. While I do agree that toning back a character to be weak is hard to do, and starting with a genin is tedious but that is half of what a story teller does, you use that as the spring board to develop them in the story to then expand the article.

That is my rant for the day, cheers.
