Try falling pizza. Also, I didn't see any thread with story, only discussion threads.

 

Made with Mindscatter, several months ago.

Well' date=' I think literature will be only used for poems then, until a thread with a custom story appears. Though my Fan Fic is not really a fan-fic since it is not related to anything.

That's exactly the problem we currently have.

*interjecting*

Going back to page 86, when someone said that the fanfic section was full of YGO fanfics, I can offer pretty much 3 reasons as to why:

 

1. Forum: This is a YGO forum, people expect to write nothing but YGO fanfic. That's pretty much the norm for any forum - say if I was on a Top Gear forum, naturally I'd write nothing but Top Gear.

 

2. Fandom: Obviously YCM doesn't just host YGO fanfics, there are numerous Pokemon fanfics and others on there too. Pokemon fanfics work just as well here because there are Pokemon fans here. However, it doesnt work for all fandoms - say if I posted a Mock the Week fanfic to here and slashtheweek (a slash comm for Mock the Week fans on Livejournal), which side do you think I'll get more feedback from? A Mock the Week fanfic would never work here because barely anyone watches it, let alone write fanfic about it.

 

3. Romantic Genre: Yep, even this matters. Romantic genre - gen, het, slash and femmslash. YCM's never been particularly tolerant towards slash* and femmslash**, and no matter which Fandom you're obsessed with, slash is there in some shape and form, even if the vast majority of writers don't write slash. Almost everywhere I've been is very slash-dominated, and I bet most of them are written by females (90% of all fanfic writers are females, that's a fact). Considering how YCM's a male-dominant place though, I doubt any lads write slash, caus it really is a female thing. But anyway, my point is, because YCM doesnt tolerate slash and femmslash, it does sort of drive away some writers, thusly shrinking the fanfics to being horribly cliched stories about duellists saving the world and so on. And anyway, to prove my point, if I wrote and posted a Jaden/Syrus fanfic onto here, would you be disgusted?

 

*slash is the equivalent of yaoi

**femmslash is the equivalent of yuri

A fanfic or an original story?

 

Original story' date=' I hate most Animes anyway. Btw, how did you do at your exams?

[/quote']

 

You just reminded me. The exams are today. >.<

 

Ok, now think of a genre. (fantasy/sci-fi/etc...)

Oh yes. I'll put the one you just posted, and you'll have to repost #62(I think that was the number...).

Hmm...realistic fantasy...like, I throw thunderbolts at you because in their cores I have concentrated huge amounts of M weak force particles that bind electrons together into muons. I am good at bending physics...
