Thanks, Ada. And yes, I enjoyed the Yu-Gi-Oh article from the same perspective as you did.

What makes me uneasy about Yu-Gi-Oh fics is that they seem to be becoming a subculture of their own. It feels like you can't even read them if you don't play the game, which in fact I don't.

What makes me uneasy about Yu-Gi-Oh fics is that they seem to be becoming a subculture of their own. It feels like you can't even read them if you don't play the game, which in fact I don't.

It's been that way from the beginning. There are two major categories of Yu-Gi-Oh fic: character-based (as in canon character) and duel-based. This board leans very, very heavily towards the latter, which does, I'm afraid, require some understanding of the game.

Might I suggest SilvorMoon from FF.net if you're looking for the first category? One of my favorite authors who concentrate on character-based.
