VI. The Fanfics

[There had been a selection of fanfics throughout the makeshift convention center and you know what- rather than reading any of them, Kaiba thought he knew the most appropriate way to handle them. Picking up the ones he could find, he promptly looked for the nearest trash receptacle]

What this con could use is some severe quality control...

[The ones he focused on removing, did tend to list him specifically in the description.

Just a few examples:

Title: Obliteration of Weakness
Characters featured: Many of the thieves that are no longer here, Ann Takamaki, and Seto Kaiba.
Synopsis: The Phantom thieves are up against what poses to be their greatest challenge yet! The calculating, coldhearted ceo of Kaiba Corporation aims to crush anyone who is in a position to collapse his empire built on forwarding gaming technology at all costs with a level of callousness yet unparalleled. Once the palace is located, and the calling card is sent all that's left is to storm into the elaborate complex and steal his most prized possession. There's just one little problem, could one of the thieves be having second thoughts? Find out!

[Should someone read this they will find that Kaiba's palace is apparently a massive office building to match his ego. The building is primarily in a pristine white color that would be impossible to maintain in reality, internally there are moving sidewalks, a high level of security and plenty of obstacles between the thieves and the treasure. The final battle takes place in a dueling arena and the treasure is a Blue-Eyes White Dragon card that's been torn in half. It's the 4th one ever created and by being in possession of it, Kaiba had cemented the fact that it could never be used against him. It turns out the story overall was meant as a love story, as Panther had softened on their target over time- but thanks to Kaiba not being content to lose it ends tragically, more specifically Kaiba's shadow can see the writing on the wall and destroys himself just when it looked like the pair might live happily ever after. There is much lamentation and sorrow because the author apparently thought this was edgy.]

Title: The Forgotten Fleet
Characters featured: Legion, Bowser, Turing, Kaiba, Lysandra
Synopsis: It's a space opera. A literal space opera, with interstellar conflict, in space firefights, adventure and all of the major dialogue told through rhyming verse! What more could you ask for

[The story gets a bit muddled, but the listed characters are all serving on the same ship. Yup. One ship. Not a fleet- but at least it is lost in space? Kaiba is the engineer, Lysandra is the navigator, Bowser is security, Legion is the horticulturalist, and Turing is the captain.

A cacophonous blast to the starboard thruster,
knocked out all the power this ship could muster.
Stuck adrift in the expanse of space,
this is nothing short of a regimental disgrace.


Was just a small sample of the terrible writing in included. Yes, it's that bad]

Title: Bachelor/ette Party
Characters featured: Basically anyone who was ever in the void male or female.
Synopsis: It's been almost a year and it's finally time for the happy couple to tie the knot but not without first having that last night of freedom. Renting out a casino the participants are in for a wild evening of drunken fervor, playing games and revealing secrets about one another. Who knows, by the end of it the bride and groom to be might realize they're promised to the wrong person entirely!

This one is left more open ended, and you can literally throw anyone into any role. There just had to be one of these in the mix since it is a popular theme in fanfics, plus there's a lot of random you could play with here. You want someone to jump out of a cake, lose a hand of strip poker, wake up dazed and hanging from a chandelier, what have you.
