Fandom Musings:
Hateslash vs. Rivalslash: The first comment goes even better into exploring the flaws in most KaiJou fiction than I did.
First Law of Badfic: The popularity of any work, in conjunction with how long it has been available to an English-speaking fanbase, is directly proportional to how much bad fanfiction it will spawn.
Law of Badfic Corollary: A dubbed anime will always spawn more bad fanfiction than an anime only available through fansubs.
Second Law of Badfic: Given any fandom, the number of stories involving OCs, especially those of the Mary-Sue type, will increase in direct proportion to the amount of bad fanfiction present.
150 Years of Mary-Sue by Pat Pflieger: An interesting, in-depth look at the character everyone loves to hate.
How to Write Almost Readable Fanfiction by Jane Leavell: First and foremost, think of the grammar. Spare the apostrophes. Then find a resource like this to help polish things up. (None of us is perfect, but we can at least try a little.)
Stories In Progress: Updates will be sporadic. Have pity on a poor college student.
On FFN:
Creep : Two other little vignettes skipping around in my head that follow this same scenario, the whole sharing-bodies, “Yuugi is dating Jounouchi and Yami is powerfully attracted to Seto but refuses to tell his aibou for fear of disrupting his host’s life/love/happiness” thing may be posted as sequels… or as follow-up chapters.
The Mini : Will eventually have further chapters detailing Jounouchi and Yuugi’s approach to this strange new thing called “dating.” May even go all the way up to their first time.
Newton’s Third : Probable sequel that will either end up Seto x Yami x Yuugi or Seto x Yami and Jounouchi x Yuugi. It’s not really getting anywhere, because I haven’t decided which I want to do yet. Though almost everything my pen’s crapped out has been stuff for the threesome, I’m really leaning a lot more toward the YuuJou, since gods know there isn’t enough of it in the fandom…
Purpose : No real outline, no real end. Will almost certainly become NaruSasu… eventually. Their stubbornness aside, it’s a challenge to myself: how long can I go without writing them into bed together?
Coming (Maybe) Someday to a Fanfic Site Near You (or, Kiraya Is Far Too Ambitious):
Alphabet (Yuugiou) : Seto x Yami, with a side of Jounouchi x Yuugi. What exactly are we to each other?
Atemu no Go (Yuugiou/Hikaru no Go) : Yami x Seto, Hikaru x Akira. My rival is… You understand.
Blueberries (Yuugiou) : Seto x Yami. Euphoria.
Conversations with… (Shadow Hearts) : Nicolai-centric with a healthy side of Yuri, no real pairings. Angels, the Fall, and chances at redemption.
Darkness (Yuugiou) : Seto-centric, no pairings. One is the loneliest number.
Eternal Odyssey Returning (Naruto) : Sasuke x Naruto. Don’t ever pull something like that again, bastard.
Everything About You (Yuugiou) : Seto x Yami. Complicated.
Friends with Benefits? (Yuugiou) : Jounouchi x Yuugi, some others. I want what they have.
Garden of Delights (Yuugiou) : Seto x Mahaado x Atem. Shall we set our rivalry aside for this sweet goal?
Hikari o Tsuiseki Shite (Yuugiou) : Rishid x Malik. You are my light, master.
In the Dark of Night (Yuugiou) : Seto x Yami x Yuugi. We know you want this.

Of Oak Leaves and Juniper (Yuugiou) : Yami x Seto. Wrestling with God in Camelot.
One Thing We’ve Got (Yuugiou) : Not quite Seto x Yami x Jounouchi x Yuugi. Don’t push it, bonkotsu.
Paradise Lost (Shadow Hearts) : Weird Nicolai x Yuri, past Tengaiou x Astaroth. The cycle never ends.
Pygmalion’s Darkness (Yuugiou) : Seto x Yami, Jounouchi x Yuugi. Questions of ethics.
Pyramid Song (Yuugiou) : Seto x Yami. Don’t give me that destiny bullshit, Blue-Eyes.
