Viridian Health Update

Hello, this is Runsamok posting an update for Viridian:

NOFP and Team 8 are both in progress and are not abandoned or dead. You may see progress on either one depending on how the AuthorLord feels when he is able to write.

He is slowly going through the early chapters of NOFP and reposting them on RoyalRoad. They will eventually all be posted again.

We have both been isolating completely since mid-February to avoid possible Covid 19 infection, due to both his fragile respiratory system and my diabetes and asthma.

  1. Sounds great! Is Team 8 going to be moved to Royal also when it begins progressing again? Also, definitely stay safe and healthy during this crazy time.

  2. Good to see you are staying healthy, hope you stay safe in the future!
    When you post up the chapters to Royal road could you provide a link to them for us, I for one have never even heard of that site before.

  3. I just realised a few days ago that NoFP chapter 1 is on RoyalRoad :). Looking forward to the rest.

    My wife is up to chapter 28 of the eBook, and has commented that the writing feels a lot like canon. Kudos!

  4. I was suggested to read “Harry Potter and the Nightmares of Futures Past” about two days ago. After a little trouble trying to read it on FanFicAuthors, someone was kind enough to give me the download for the ebook version. And I’ve got to say, I absolutely love it. It’s completely brilliant and I love the way it was written, I love where the plot is going, and I generally just love the tone of it. I’m looking forward to reading it on RoyalRoad. It is totally worth the wait!

  5. Left my comment encouraging posting on Royal Road, then went to look and found it! Yay! I’ll be reading and following, and commenting! NoFP was one of the first fanfics I ever read, and it’s still one of the best…I look forward to every chapter of the newly revised version!

  7. I just finished rereading Team 8 yet again. I’m so excited to see that the next chapter is in progress! It’s one of my favorite fanfics in any genre. Glad you guys ages staying safe.

    • The authorlord doesn’t manage the eBook, but if you notice any discrepancies, you’re free to raise issues on the Github repository (or even submit pull requests, if you feel comfortable with that). I think you’ll find that they’ll be actioned fairly promptly.

  8. Isolating has been tough; I hope both you and Authorlord have enjoyable ways to entertain yourselves inside! All the libraries in my area have been closed for a while, so I’m so glad for fanfic. Team 8 will always be one of my favorites. I really connect with Hinata’s struggles against a painful and ingrained mindset of worthlessness. It sounds like the next chapter she’ll be surrounded by friends and we can see them terrifying the Kumo nin with their awesomeness, so I hope writing it is a pleasure! Stay safe and sane.

  9. I’ve read and reread NOFP over the years and have recommended it to other HP fans. As one writer to another, I would like to share this advice: Writing, like life, is a road trip, best experienced at full throttle, shifting gears before steep hills and sharp turns, braking only at THE END. Good luck on your road trip, Matt. I hope you can rev-up your amazing writing engine again sometime soon!

    Is there any known timeframe for when the next chapter will be out?

  12. Boy what a blast from the past! I was so excited to stumble upon you two

    I haven’t touched fanfiction for years, but I just re-read Team 8 for the nth time and am finding myself once again bought in to the world you’ve created. Stay safe, healthy, and sane. I’m happily looking forward to reading NOFP again and new chapters of Team 8.

    Cheers!

  13. Hi!
    I have a question please.
    In Czechia there was a fan fiction website where there was your novel NOTFP translated in Czech language so Czech people could read it too. Because it was deleted several years ago, I’d like to create a website and put the novel in there in Czech translation but I’d like to ask you for your approval that I can do such a thing. The website would have links to your blog and Patreon and I would explain that all rights go to you.

    Thank you very much in advance.

  14. Just finished Team 8 for the 3rd time. I keep hoping one day it’ll be finished! Regardless, I’m grateful you wrote this much. Team 8 is in my top 5 fanfics. You did such an incredible job digging into the emotional and psychological elements ignored by canon. The harm of isolation and abuse on Naruto and Hinata was well-considered and respected in your story, which makes it so much more impactful. I also appreciate you digging into the details of how jutsus work, especially Kage Bunshin, giving believable explanations for Naruto’s apparent failings that allow him to flourish with the barriers removed, putting him in with Gai and Lee, providing a considerate teacher in Kurenai, and paying attention to subtleties in the internal dialogues.

    This story brought me to tears more times than I care to admit and it was due to excellent writing. Thank you for sharing your talent with us. I hope you keep it up.
