It couldn't have ended like a sad learning experience, unless she was going to write a sequel to it. I mean, you really can't do that to a character unless you're planning on giving them something positive in the end. Because that just doesn't sell (not that SilverShine needs to sell anything, because she's Just That Good). What's the point of learning something if you don't get to put it into practice?
I jumped into The Window and I love how they're both considering each other and how Sakura can't get him out of her head--it's realistic things like that that really make her fic. Though I'm with Kakashi in how he wishes she hadn't been treated so poorly--one of the things I really liked about DBH was how she was a virgin, and had all the extra insecurities and the ideals about sex. Though the idea of Kakashi teaching her how to have good sex is also delicious. :-b
I get what you're saying in your Sakura problems--balancing characters is tough. Though you do have the bonus of getting to age them yourselves, so you can perhaps plot Sakura's development (like you have) and then figure her out in terms of herself, and then switch to Kakashi's feelings on her, but still have the basic Sakura outlined. (Being a genius, you've probably already done that...). I like the science project idea though. Very much. *giggles*
