I began to post my Yu-Gi-Oh fics over at DeviantART under the name of 'TransvestitesFTW'. I've stopped doing that, but if you find any of them over there, or have come from there to check whether the fics have been stolen or not, and were planning on flaming, don't waste your time!

21 July 2008:

Hey there! Glad you could make it. I have a little information for you concerning my Yu-Gi-Oh fiction which I think you might like to know. I do not post them in a chronological series, but I do write them in a manner which means you may need to read one story in order to fully understand another. I will try to make it simple for you. Take a look at this list:

Brown Paper Parcel, one-shot: This the first fiction. You may like to read this in order to gain full understanding of my latest fiction, Take Me To The Water. However you do not need to, unless you want to understand where certain OCs come from. (Rated K. Family/General. Main characters are Seto, Mokuba and OC. No shipping)

Chocolate Milk, one-shot: This is the second. It is just a silly oneshot and you do not need to refer to this fiction when reading some of the others. It briefly mentions an OC who appears in another fiction. This fic takes place before the events in Open Ether, Ojiisan and Take Me To The Water, the latest fiction which is still in progress. (Rated K. Humour/General. Main characters are Seto. No shipping)

Open Ether, two-part complete: The third. You will definately need to read this in order to understand Seto Kaiba's mental state in Take Me To The Water and most of what is happening in Siphon. It features an OC who briefly appeared in Chocolate Milk. (Rated T. Hurt/Comfort/Horror. Main characters are Seto, Roland and OC. Seto/Roland Shōnenai.)

Siphon, oneshot: The fourth. The poorest of all my fictions. This is not a sequel to Open Ether, but it takes place after the events in that fiction and you won't understand Siphon unless you read it. Unless my OC plays an integral part in any future Yu-Gi-Oh fictions, you don't really need to read this one at all. (Rated K. Humour/General. Main characters are Seto and OC. No shipping)

Ojiisan, three-part complete: The fifth. You do not need to read any previous fictions to undestand what is happening here, but you will need to read it along with Open Ether to fully understand the events in Take Me To The Water, some of which are yet to be written, might I add. (Rated T. Tragedy/Hurt/Comfort. Main characters are Seto and Yuugi. No shipping)

Suzume Darling, oneshot: This is the seventh thing I wrote but I'm slotting it in between Ojiisan and TMttW because according to the timeline this is when it happens. It deals with Yuugi and Seto after the night when Grandpa Mutou died (about a week later), so I guess you could call it a sequel to Ojiisan, because you'll definitely need to read that fic to get this one. (Rated T. Friendship. Main characters are Seto and Yuugi. No shipping)

Take Me To The Water, in progress: The sixth and the current fiction. You will definately need to read Open Ether and Ojiisan for this one. You may want to refer to Brown Paper Parcel, but it is not necessary. (Rated T. Romance/Friendship. Main characters are Seto, Jounouchi/Joey and Yuugi. Puppyshipping - that's Seto/Jounouchi by the way)

I hope you took the time to read through that! Thank you, and don't forget to leave your thoughts on my work. Constructive criticism in areas such as grammar and spelling are most welcome. Plot ideas are also welcome, but don't be offended if I don't use them!

My Yu-Gi-Oh fiction is predominately Seto-centric.

I am a proud passenger of both the Puppyship (Seto/Jounouchi) and the Rivalship (Seto/Yuugi)!

A quick note to urge you (the readers) to please leave your thoughts on what you have read here. Anyone of any creative nature, whether it be writing, painting, dancing, music, etc. can agree with me that it is very difficult to advance and improve without knowing what the 'audience' thinks! Feedback is very important, even negative feedback. I welcome contructive criticisim, mostly in areas of grammar and structuring. Feel free to point out typos so that I can correct them! If you really liked it, what did you like the most? If you didn't like it, what ruined it? Is there anything I should add or leave out? Is the pace too rushed, slow, boring? What sort of things do you most like to read about in Seto-centric fiction? What's your favourite aspects of Rival and Puppy shipping? Should I write more about other characters? Are my OCs of a decent quality?

So many questions! I would seriously love to know what you think. It's a cheesey line, but what you think MATTERS!!

I'M A LITTLE BIT OBSESSED WITH NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA BATMAAAAAN right now. I'm sorry for anyone who may be returning to see if I have been updating my YuGiOh fic 'Take Me To The Water'. It's been a long time hasn't it. I will return to it one day, but I am on a super roll with the whole Batman thing right now. Maybe a short YuGiOh oneshot will keep you going until I have finished at least one of my Batman fics!!

And now it's recommendation time!! I would like to recommend 'Deal With The Devil' by woolgatherer, a Nolanverse Batman piece with The Joker and Rach Dawes as the main characters. Her summary: "Rachel makes a deal with the Joker and realizes that she’s in over her head. Will she fall under the Joker’s spell and sacrifice Batman’s identity for the good of all? Or will she protect Bruce and suffer the consequences? Pre TDK." Woolgatherer has not updated for a long time but the unfinished work she (possibly he?) has left behind is a gem. Please check it out! (not that she actually needs anymore reviews, for the current 9 chapters the count stands at 200+ !!)

I want to recommend the user esama as well, a talented writer who expresses what she needs to extremely well, despite English not being her first language. I have only read her YuGiOh fics, but judging by the quality of these I can say that most of her other fanfiction must be worth a read too, if you are of whatever fandom she is writing for. She seems to have quite a few things on the go at the moment, so if you are only following a single piece (like me) then her updates will be far apart! For YuGiOh Rivalshippers (YuugixKaiba) or the open-minded, I strongly recommend her fictions 'My Shield My Sword' and the ever so slightly fluffier 'Yesterday's Lessons'.

THANK YOU! Don't forget to read AND review!
