A person can be their own worst critic, especially if they're two different people.

"Other me, did you...why would you...how could you write something like this???" Yuugi had sleepwalked into his other self's soul room, and would have rushed right out, if not for the sheets of paper that he'd stumbled upon. And once he'd started reading them, well...

"Partner! I, umm, don't you like it? I worked really hard on it." Yami ran swiftly upon hearing the voice of his partner, and looked apprehensively at the same story that Yuugi was looking down at.

"Like it? Other me, this is terrible! Just the idea of it, and the things you have me doing with Anzu. I mean, you've got me 'licking the salty sweat from her hilly bosom and nibbling on the pebble like nubbin of nipple'? That's just terrible no matter how you look at it!"

"Okay, that part is rough, I'll give you that, but the set-up is creative, you have to give me that."

"The set-up? Partner, you have me rescuing Anzu from zombie-samurai's and sweeping her off her feet while she swoons at my manliness. It's madness, it's completely out of character! And...is this an illustration?" Yuugi turned the paper over, and his eyes bugged out even further at what he saw.

"It's very stylistic, I'll give you that, but I think it's good." Yuugi looked at his other self in disbelief.

"Stylistic? Anzu's...Anzu's are not that big, and you've been in this body, you know that 'it' doesn't get that big or hard! Other me, this is all terrible, and I'd appreciate if you didn't write anymore of this..."Hot Peaches" or make anymore illustrations ever again." Yuugi tore up the sheets of paper and stormed out. Yami looked at the door as Yuugi shut it behind him.

"Huh. It's a good thing he didn't the sequel. At least I'll have time to polish it off; he'll be sure to love the part where Anzu dresses up like a harem girl and feeds him grapes!"

Heh . . . you're right.

Don't quit your day job, hon. *to Yami*

[cypsiman2.livejournal.com]

Yami: Oh not you too!

[dragondancer515.livejournal.com]

Dragon: *arms crossed, eyebrow raised* Purple prose, much? Okay, fine . . . but at least learn to improve your craft. *hands him some "how to write" books* And . . . to protect the guilty innocent, I'd at /least/ change the names in the story. ^_~

[myaibou.livejournal.com]

Oh, Yami had better hope lucidscreamer never finds his fics... ;)

[cypsiman2.livejournal.com]

Yami: I didn't need a beta three thousand years ago, I don't need one now!

[a-white-rain.livejournal.com]

HAHAH I AM CRYING.

[cypsiman2.livejournal.com]

IT IS TERRIBLE, SIMPLY TERRIBLE!

AND HE KEEPS WRITING AND DRAWING IT!

[a-white-rain.livejournal.com]

OH GOD HE NEEDS TO WATCH NARUTO AND SHIP UM SASUKE/SAKURA BECAUSE I DO AND WRITE HORRIBLE FIC ON IT

[cypsiman2.livejournal.com]

HE WOULD SCRATCH HIS HEAD, AND WONDER WHY EVERYONE ON THE SHOW IS A F*CKING NINJA!

(Wait, that joke's already been done.)

[a-white-rain.livejournal.com]

LOL THAT'S ABRDIGED!YAMI. CANON!YAMI WOULD WRITE ON FOURMS HOW THE MANGA HAS GONE DOWNHILL.

[cypsiman2.livejournal.com]

YAMI WOULD LOOK AT THE FILLER HELL, AND THINK TO HIMSELF "WELL, AT LEAST IT WASN'T THAT BAD FOR ME."

[a-white-rain.livejournal.com]

HE'S STILL NOT OVER DOMA. THEY MADE HIM BE MEAN TO YUUGI.

[cypsiman2.livejournal.com]

HE'S TRIED TO EXPLAIN SO MANY TIMES THAT IT WAS JUST THE SCRIPT, HE COULDN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT, BUT YUUGI WAS STILL HURT BY IT!

[a-white-rain.livejournal.com]

AND HE COULDN'T EVEN YELL BACK AT KAIBA. STUPID SCRIPT.

[cypsiman2.livejournal.com]

ALL THESE BAD MEMORIES MAKE YAMI WANT TO WRITE FANFIC WHERE YUUGI GETS HIS OWN HAREM. WE HAVE TO STOP HIM!!!

[a-white-rain.livejournal.com]

JONOUCHI SAYS HE'LL FILL IN IN THE FIC IF YAMI MUST WRITE HAREM FIC.

THEN HE RUNS BECAUSE ANZU IS GIVING HIM A LOOK.

[cypsiman2.livejournal.com]

YAMI LOOKS AT ANZU, AND TURNS ON THE CONFIDENCE; SURELY SHE'LL BE MORE OPEN TO HIS YUUGI/ANZU FIC THEN YUUGI WAS.

[a-white-rain.livejournal.com]

HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHA

[cypsiman2.livejournal.com]

THE SLAP MARKS ON YAMI'S FACE SUGGEST TO HIM THAT HE MISCALCULATED. BUT HE REMAINS CONFIDENT IN HIS LITERARY PROWESS.

[a-white-rain.livejournal.com]

HAHAAHAHA YAMI SHOULD STICK TO RULING AND PLAYING GAMES.

[cypsiman2.livejournal.com]

INDEED!

MEANWHILE, JOUNOUCHI MAKES A CRACK ABOUT HOW THE LADY DOTH PROTEST TOO MUCH BEFORE RESUMING RUNNING!

[a-white-rain.livejournal.com]

YES.

[cypsiman2.livejournal.com]

ANZU GIVES CHASE, BUT ENDS UP RUNNING INTO YUUGI AND LANDING RIGHT ON HIM!

[a-white-rain.livejournal.com]

HAHA I ASSUME IN THIS CRACK YAMI AND YUUGI HAVE DIFFERENT BODIES?

[cypsiman2.livejournal.com]

THE FANS DO IT ALL THE TIME, I DON'T SEE WHY WE CAN'T!

MEANWHILE, ANZU TRIES TO GET BACK UP, BUT HER HAND SLIPS.

[a-white-rain.livejournal.com]

HAH I'M DOING IT IN ONE FIC THOUGH I TRY AND NOT BRUSH IT OVER. IN MY CRACK VERSION I DON'T EVEN BOTHER LULZ.

[cypsiman2.livejournal.com]

CRACK IS GOOD FOR LETTING LOOSE.

WELL, ANZU'S FINALLY GOTTEN BACK UP OFF YUUGI, WHO IS MOST CERTAINLY NOT HER YUUGI-MUFFIN, AND ASKS HIM IF HE'S OKAY.

[a-white-rain.livejournal.com]

THEN WHAT

[cypsiman2.livejournal.com]

WELL, YUUGI HAD JUST PURCHASED A BOX OF CHOCOLATES, BUT HE'D BEEN HOLDING THEM TO HIS CHEST, AND, WELL... *YUUGI AND ANZU LOOK DOWN AT THEIR RESPECTIVE CHESTS.*

[a-white-rain.livejournal.com]

I'D SUGGEST LICKING BUT I THINK YUUGI DOESN'T WANT TO HAVE SEX ANY TIME SOON THANKS TO BAD FANFIC.

[cypsiman2.livejournal.com]

ANZU IGNORES THOSE THOUGHTS, AND SAYS THAT SINCE THEY'RE CLOSER TO HER HOUSE, THEY'LL GO GET THEIR SHIRTS WASHED THERE. NOTHING COULD GO WRONG!

[a-white-rain.livejournal.com]

AHAHA

[cypsiman2.livejournal.com]

AS IT TURNS OUT, TODAY WAS LAUNDRY DAY, AND ANZU HAS ONLY ONE *SMALL* CLEAN SHIRT LEFT.

[a-white-rain.livejournal.com]

LOL

[cypsiman2.livejournal.com]

ANZU SUCKS IT UP AND PUTS THE SHIRT ON. IT'S A BIT OLD AS WELL. YUUGI BEGINS TO LOOK FOR A WAY TO KEEP HIMSELF BUSY. WITHOUT A SHIRT ON.

*YOU CAN TELL A DUDE IS WRITING THIS.*

[a-white-rain.livejournal.com]

you're a dude?

[cypsiman2.livejournal.com]

That's what it says on my ID. Does this surprise you?

[a-white-rain.livejournal.com]

I didn't notice, I guess. And, yes, it surprises me. I rarely see a guy get anything about feminism at all and I generally assume that girls are in LJfandom.

[cypsiman2.livejournal.com]

I generally make the same assumption about the composition of LJfandom, though there are exceptions. As for the feminism, I try my best with the awareness that as a dude there are certain things I'm likely to miss, overlook, or just not get. Keeps me self-aware.
