Now it is time for me to throw my weight in. I accept your apology. The damage has been reversed and so I have no grudge to hold. Now then, to address your other concerns;

I don't take to sob stories much. Inability to make friends is something that only you can solve. Friends will not just come to you. Many of us face pain in life. Some greater than others, but those that use pain as an excuse for wrong-doing only make themselves weaker. I, as a student of martial arts, find the idea abhorrent. I do not mean this to be hurtful to you, but I'd be doing you a great disservice if I didn't tell you the truth.

The truth is, I don't want my characters or my story to be an actual anime or manga. If I did, I'd draw them in manga format, not here on a fan fiction site. I simply want to honor Tite Kubo's world (which he created) by inserting my ideas and plots into his universe. Secondly, it is an impossibility to make an anime/manga, or any other media for that matter, that consisted of a mix of Naruto and Bleach. You are neither Kishimoto nor Kubo, nor do you have the rights to their work, therefore you could not create legal content using it.

Lastly, busy with my life or not, as I have become many times in the past, I almost always return to work on my stories. Even when my work as a fan fiction author is at its conclusion, I do not want my work slandered or ruined by another. I want it to remain as it is.

Allow me, however, to encourage you a bit. If you really want to create anime or manga, then don't settle for just copying another author's work. Create your own unique stories, develop your drawing/animation skills and put them into practice when you get older. All of us have dreams and desires we wish to fulfill. Just don't settle on a dream based on your current interests (e.g., anime, manga, cartoons, games, etc.). Current interests can always change. Your dream should be something you're passionate about. Something you just cannot stop thinking about. Something you're willing to spend the rest of your life doing and never rest until it is completed.

I encourage you to reflect on the lesson you learned here and use it to grow. And next time you make an apology, do it because you want to actually apologize, not to win brownie points with a group of people or to gain their sympathy.
