Wow! I'm here by way of Scribble's recommendation, and she wasn't kidding-- this is an excellent story- or series of stories? Sort of combined oneshots, or mini-ficlets? Regardless of their type, I really enjoyed these- especially the Kaiba, Ishtar, and Honda ones, because they are both dark and poignant enough to get you thinking- what if things really HAD gone that way? It would have changed the entire tone and direction of Yu-Gi-Oh.

Excellent work. I think I ought to try my hand at the "five things" meme one day.

I love the five things concept, too bad they're so hard to find. I really like Honda's, h used to race motorcycles...

Oh dear, that was a dark ending. The first one made me laugh. The second...I didn't really get it. The third was rather upsetting and angsty...as was the fourth...and of course the fifth.

Generally, I liked it. ^_^

*gasp* you're a copywriter! you ddin't write those! rayemars did! *gasp!* oww, you in trouble now!

That was very interesting! I loved it; the story really kept me reading. The five different alternate universes were all very intriguing. And I liked how you ended each short story; they each got me thinking.
I'm interested in where this would go, but this story could also stand by itself; very nice job!

nice. i

I had to admit to being unfamiliar with this style of fic, but it worked really well here.
Honda's was terrifying really. The last line was chilling, fantastically placed and it had a great build-up.
I liked Kaiba's the most though:-
"The first people usually told the others to shut up and stop being so delusional."
-I found hilarious for some reason. Probably because I'd have been one of the first people.
It was an interesting spin on him.
Thanks for posting it on this site.

Awesome writing, as usual! I loved five the best, for some reason. Perhaps because, as a snapshot, it sort of told a whole story the most out all of them, three coming in as a close second. I didn't really get number one and two, though. Kaiba has a millenium item? Was that supposed to be the puzzle? And with two, that seemed to be AE Bakura. Was that supposed to be what it would be like if Ryou was more like the old Bakura? Well, even if I didn't get all of it, it was all great writing. I'm the type of person who usually only reads stories about Bakura, but when I know that you're the author, I give other stuff a chance! ^__^
