007 - Welcome to VoidCon!

Welcome to VoidCon! Event Info Comments
Is It Wrong To Pick Up Stamps In The Convention?
The registration desk for VoidCon rests at the base of Mt. Silver, looking a bit conspicuous in contrast to the natural cave entrance. Lanyard badges have been laid out across the desk, one for each person that dwells within the Void... although, some will still be unclaimed by the time the convention ends. Above the mountain rumbles a thunderstorm, granting enough power to easily keep the convention space powered for a few days. Even if you’re not interested in the convention itself, you might as well take advantage of the stable power source while it lasts.

Next to the pile of lanyards is a stack of cards, each covered with blank squares and the words “Stamp Rally” written at the top. The instructions can be found on the back, along with a list of goals and activities - not all of them make sense, but as long as you think your interpretation is correct, it seems to count. Each completed goal will be rewarded with a matching stamp, which will simply appear on the card on its own. Get six or more stamps and you get “a prize.” It's not clear what the prize is, but it must be something good, right?

The goals for each stamp are as follows, and can be completed in any order:

  1. Sign your autograph on ten different surfaces.
  2. Wear someone else’s clothes.
  3. Hug lovable arcade mascot Potato-Cat.
  4. Find yourself in Kyo’s merchandise booth.
  5. Reenact the best scene in the book.
  6. Win a round in the holo-arcade with another player's abilities.
  7. Eat the BBQ.
  8. How much is a currency? Can I have it?
  9. Tweet a hash tag into the ley lines about your experience at VoidCon.
  10. Share and subscribe to the most liked art piece.
Completing at least one stamp prompt will make your character eligible for the March event bonus. Please see the linked event post for details.

So I’m A Fanartist, So What?
In proper fandom-based convention fashion, a small herd of Brushboys have responded to the call for creativity and settled themselves into the convention space. Some have taken residence in their own stalls as they draw whatever (or whoever) comes to mind, but others will take a more guerilla approach to their art as they walk about in search of their newest source of inspiration - you!

Most art can be observed in the form of prints and postcards that are lying about for public viewing on occupied vendor stalls, but other Brushboys have taken some liberties with their mediums. A lucky individual may find an entire mural painted on a cave wall that’s dedicated to them, or perhaps telling the story of the relationship between them and another character.

Styles of the art vary depending on the individual who has painted their respective masterpiece, but most depictions are compliant to “canon” in terms of their content. That’s not to say that every piece is, however - canon divergence is key in fanworks. Pieces with two characters together may have never spoken a word to each other before, or perhaps the nature of their connection to each other has been grossly misinterpreted by the artist. Whatever the case, each work of art is certainly a conversation starter.

In Another World With My VR Headset
Numerous signs and posters found around the arcade direct attendees to the elaborate VR game set-up, the potato-cat mascot proclaiming in a large speech bubble that “Fun and Excitement Awaits!” followed by an odd little nonsense phrase in smaller writing that is probably meant to be motivational but either comes across as nonsense (“what did you do that did”) or simplistic (“wow!”). The posters are not particularly needed, however, as the set-up takes up a large area, and the bright lights and music likely draw more than enough attention to it.

The interactable and realistic hologram display shows a little piece of another world. It could be a room, or a city street, or a little piece of the outdoors, but every world is familiar to at least someone present. It changes by the hour, with every attendee’s world featured at least once. Each world is presented as a game, and while the game does not always appear relevant to the location it is usually at least playable, and frequently allows for two or more players to either cooperate or compete - it’s better with company! Games include rhythm games, stealth games, monster battles, fighting games, card games and more. The goal of each game will also change with the genre, so you’d best beat it quickly if you want to make any progress.

In this VR world, attendees will find that their existing powers work perfectly in-game, as though an intended feature, even if they don’t seem at all relevant to the game. Furthermore, powers can be unequipped or exchanged for someone else’s powers by accessing the menu, allowing for free experimentation and a chance to see what the neighbors are truly capable of. If you don’t have anyone to trade with, just hit the “randomize” option - you’ll be given a completely random powerset, or you’ll be randomly swapped with another nearby player. The possibilities are endless!

If you manage to reach the end of the game, you’ll be greeted with a large and flashy display of “Congratulations!” along with some virtual confetti, followed by a holographic display of everyone’s high scores… which are a bit confusing to read, since every new version of the game has a completely different scoring system and one player might go through several of these before hitting a proper “ending.” Is a smaller number or bigger number better? Why does a farming game even have a combo score? Maybe it’s best not to think about it.

[OOC: I had way too many ideas for this plot and not enough restraint, I'll be replying to this top comment with my prompts to divide them up more. They'll be about 5-ish total but one of them will come later since I'm still working on something for it. C O U G H.]

I. Stamping out the Competition

[personal profile] blue_eyed_obsession 2021-03-18 03:21 am (UTC)(link)
[Originally, Kaiba had scoffed at the ridiculous nature of what was essentially a scavenger hunt but somehow he'd gotta drawn into it. It's not as if he didn't have a few candidates he could blame it on as cover should it be pointed out just how childish this was. Looking at you Yugi and Ann. Besides, it's not as if he'd never been to a convention before, and he was legitimately curious what the prize might be even if he wasn't getting his hopes up.

He was just putting the finishing touches on his final signature, without so much as feeling the onset of a hand cramp.
]

What sort of amateur does this place take me for..? [10 Autographs was nothing. Essentially. Nor did he question why anyone would want his signature, he was the great Seto Kaiba afterall. He watched as the first stamp filled itself in with a smirk.] So what's next? [He could have been speaking to himself or anyone in range also working on the list.]

[OOC note: Ever the perfectionist, Kaiba will be trying to complete as many as possible, feel free to run into him in an area of the con befitting any of the options. The one's he'd be more apprehensive about engaging in are 'wearing someone else's clothes', 'hugging the mascot', or 'reenacting a scene'. Number 8 he'll be unduly smug about understanding what currency is better than anyone here... and they'll be a later prompt specifically for the holo-arcade!]

how to annoy kaiba: the movie

[personal profile] silentmagician 2021-03-21 11:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[Did someone call for a candidate to blame? Here's one (1) Yugi Mutou ready to step up to the plate.

A game is a game is a game and, if there is one, then Yugi is going to play it. Even if it's just a scavenger hunt. And he's going to drag Kaiba into it as well because he happened to be close by; and because doing a scavenger hunt with at least one other person at the beginning was a good way to clear up some tasks quicker; and, most importantly, because Yugi considers Kaiba a friend even if the reverse consideration didn't exist.

Yugi isn't racing with these signatures - in fact, he had expressed earlier 'Wait, are we sure we should be doing this? Why would they want our signatures?' - but Kaiba gets his ten first. Surely that's a win for him, right?

Except a few moments later Yugi is approached by a brushboy with a very cool-looking piece of fanart with the words King of Games tastefully titled at the top. You know, the title that was never Kaiba's. That's his last autograph. Yugi for his part signs with a sheepish smile and responds to Kaiba after the brushboy leaves:]
You got that one done so quickly! If you're going in order the next one is... wearing someone else's clothes.
blue_eyed_obsession: (Talking down to you so hard)

It's a classic. One of my all time favorites!

[personal profile] blue_eyed_obsession 2021-03-25 05:20 am (UTC)(link)
[He sure did, and the timing couldn't have been better.

Sure, Kaiba might have feigned some reluctance to comply but he desperately needed something to break up the daily routine. At least Yugi was someone he could genuinely tolerate, especially without his usual entourage of friends, not that he voiced as such. A few of the tasks would be best tackled by multiple participants, there was no getting around the simple facts.

That apprehension had been met with a scoff and a sufficient amount of eye-rolling. Why wouldn't they want our signatures? and Out of all the people here we're the closest thing the void has to legitimate celebrities. All said, while he penned his name to a couple of objects, without sparing a glance to see if Yugi was doing the same.

The artwork didn't escape Kaiba's keen detection, and at first he said nothing. His expression spoke for him as it darkened significantly and he glared daggers through the offending brushboy
] Someone's living in a fantasy world. When did you ever possess a card like that? [Bet you thought you could ignore what just happened here.. but alas] Don't get used to being associated with that title. You won't be keeping it. [Kaiba was in no hurry to change outfits with Yugi- they'd look ridiculous, and ill-fitted]

We can skip that one.. and come back to it. [Although fanart does provide for this imagery]
silentmagician: (𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦'𝘴 𝘮𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘥.)

[personal profile] silentmagician 2021-03-26 03:38 am (UTC)(link)
[Gosh, Kaiba, what did that brushboy ever do to you? Yugi stays temperate throughout the signature, but once the little fan is gone he's sending something that approximates a frown Kaiba's way, completely unperturbed by that darkened expression.] You don't need to insult someone's art. What if it made it? The picture didn't hurt anyone.

[and then, a little flatly:] Kaiba, I'm not taking out my deck in the middle of the convention.

[so, the answer to Kaiba's question of 'when' is: 'presently'. But, no Gandora for you right now. Kaiba can stew in that knowledge for the foreseeable future.]

Hm, we could skip it...[Just as quick as he was being chastising, Yugi settles back into his usual gentle-natured self and appears not at all concerned about Kaiba's assertion that he would lose Atem's title any time soon. Whether that is a good tactic or just sets off Kaiba remains to be seen. Whatever the result, it's probably the same for Yugi essentially ignoring Kaiba's bid to skip the stamp.] Do you think they meant that we need to switch what we're wearing with someone else, or would wearing someone's merch work?
blue_eyed_obsession: (I was born ready)

[personal profile] blue_eyed_obsession 2021-04-01 08:16 am (UTC)(link)
[He had the audacity to throw that title in my face, without actually throwing it in my face since he wasn't addressing me in any way, that's what! Yugi, as usual handled the situation tactfully saving his complaints for when they were alone] I could have said worse. [Giving Yugi a look that said you know that's accurate so don't push me] What does it matter now anyway, it's gone. There's no point in discussing it after the fact unless you expect to be bombarded by an entire fanclub.

[This statement got him to silence himself for a few moments as he considered just what was being implied] You could, but you won't.

[Just let him see the dragon Yugi and no one will get hurt. Stew he would]

[Thankfully it didn't warrant anymore poor behavior for the meanwhile, having used up his reserves on that brushboy. By not arguing with Kaiba on the subject, or insisting that he would maintain his position it was as if Yugi already knew that he would have the title taken from him. Like some silent acceptance of fact. So no, it wasn't infuriating but Yugi had better at least make it a challenge when they did duel] It might not be all that complicated, like you suggested. [Giving it some thought] Technically, any clothes that aren't the ones we're currently wearing are someone else's. It doesn't say we can't use the clothing available in the booths. [Yugi might be on to something]
silentmagician: (𝘢𝘧𝘳𝘢𝘪𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘭𝘦𝘵 𝘨𝘰.)

[personal profile] silentmagician 2021-04-02 08:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[Wow, it sure sounds like someone is still outrageously petty. Still, Yugi innocently scolds him.] It doesn't matter that you could have said worse or that they left. The point is you shouldn't do it again - don't scare someone just because. It might have taken them a lot of effort to make that art or even approach someone. They're not hurting anyone. [Except Kaiba's ego, maybe.]

[Yugi pretends to contemplate that. Hm. HMMM... Unsurprisingly, Kaiba is left to stew. Maybe he could realize his actions have consequences this way.] You're right. I could, but I won't. You'll just have to wait.

[On the contrary, Yugi simply isn't worried about Kaiba. Not that Kaiba isn't a fantastic duelist (of course he is), and not that Yugi has some inflated sense of ego of his own prowess (of course he doesn't), but he can't let the title be lost so easily. Not when it's one of the last connections he has to Atem. So, it won't be lost. Simple as that.] Right! That's what I was thinking. If they're not going to specify how we do something, then it's up to our own interpretation, right? Or else the game would be really unfair. [Because, really, everything is a game to Yugi until it's not.] On that note, it also doesn't say how long we have to wear someone else's clothes.

II. How to Waste a Million Hours of Your Life - The Holo-Arcade

[personal profile] blue_eyed_obsession 2021-03-18 03:31 am (UTC)(link)
A.

[Look- when Seto Kaiba first saw the joke-of-a-mascot on the signs with those butchered phrases, he wasn't impressed. Still, he aimed in that direction since it was a requirement for one of the stamps. When he first caught a glance of the holographic displays he stopped dead in his tracks looking up in wide-eyed astonishment. Now- this... this was something he could get into. He mildly questioned whether the void had borrowed this sort of tech from him, but decided not to quibble over it. If these were holograms, then what was to prevent his own devices from functioning?

It was a good thing he rarely left his duel disk at 'home' since he didn't exactly trust the security... anywhere, so he had it with him to test. Temporarily stepping away from the gaming setup, he reached out to turn his gadget on.
]

All right- you've been idle for too long. [Dubious that this would work but not showing it in his grandiose phrasing and gestures. Swiping a card from his deck in one fluid motion he declared the following with such gusto that .. this just had work]

Hear my call, Emerge! Blue-Eyes White Dragon!

[Slotting the card onto the field he heard something he hadn't in forever. The pleasant sound of the duel disk registering the card and interpreting the data. Then without further ado in a display of blinding light, a massive dragon came roaring into view, flexing it's mighty wings. A peel of laughter fell from Kaiba's lips that only grew in volume until he got it out of his system, his eyes wild with this discovery]

AT LAST!


B.

[Several minutes later... Kaiba has called back his great beast and is engaged in the video game, he'd always preferred something more immersive. The way that the genres kept altering was a bit of a learning curve that was frustrating at first but he soon realized that it just added to the challenge. He'll show this system that he can adapt readily to it, and he's not above trying out various skill sets to get there.. in fact, that seems to be all apart of the game.

There's a strategy to it, which he appreciates. When the terrain shifts to after the previous level, he hits the randomizer to see what abilities he'll get use of next

(This random exchange might be ... more than a little disorienting.

Consider: The speed and precision of a computer in comparison to a human brain. The errorless perfection in its calculations, its memories. A mind that lives in the fractions between fractions of seconds, where everything is known and quantified down to the hundreth decimal.

The ... world ... s l o w s.

You can see the way a water droplet bounces back up briefly when it hits a surface, the way flesh ripples with abrupt contact. Like a slow motion camera, all the little blink of an eye movements that fill the world are now visible. Mind and body are strangely disconnected: as part of the physical world movement and response times remain slow, it is only the mind that experiences this acceleration.

But that is not the only change. Pain, tiredness, hunger, and all the little sensations associated with them vanish abruptly. Strength increases, as does durability, to the extent that falling hundreds of feet would do little damage.

There is, however, a drawback: Geth thrive on companionship, on connection. The absence of it feels like the absence of oxygen, like the dread silence of a forest stalked by a deadly predator. Geth need other geth, but there are no other Geth. Hope you were feeling like hanging out and making some friends Kaiba, because it's gonna be unpleasant to be alone.)

(Meanwhile, Legion is now suffering from extreme lag.)

[When he hit that randomizer, the powers cycled and cycled until they came to rest on something called Danmaku. Congratulations, Kaiba. Welcome to bullet hell. And there, across a wide, ornate bridge hovering over dakness as far as the eye could see was his boss.

Parsee.

She didn't look like she was especially happy right now. She was seething with various green energies, flowing outwards in little fluttering lights. Unlike he current powers, in the game she looked very much like her normal self. She grunted and looked over at him.]


You'll forgive me if I don't feel like going easy on you. Dodge the bullets, shoot me with your spell cards, use the bombs sparingly if it gets too tight. I need to get it out of my system.
blue_eyed_obsession: (That's not what I said!)

III. The Fanworks

[personal profile] blue_eyed_obsession 2021-03-18 03:45 am (UTC)(link)
[Perusing the various booths, Kaiba hadn't seen anything too offensive. Yet. Sure his likeness as well as the likeness of everyone else is splattered all over various surfaces without their consent, with no hope of reaping in royalties, but whatever. It could be a lot worse. Pausing a moment, he looked up at an array of posters. It was an odd mix of those that were still here, and those that had recently or otherwise vacated. For most of the faces he glimpsed, Kaiba didn't feel a sense of loss, but there were a few he legitimately would miss.

Forgetting himself, he reached toward one such poster, but he almost immediately recoiled when he caught someone in his peripheral vision. If he collected any souvenirs maybe he should still to postcards, they're easier to hide. For now he just moved on like nothing had happened.

Passing by mugs, keychains, etc- he halted again when he saw the Blue-Eyes plushies. Too cutesy, but.. still pleasing to the eye. His frown narrowed at one of himself not liking the thought of someone thinking of him and squeezing this thing tightly to their chest. Whatever.

There was just one thing he didn't have any patience for on artist alley and that was the fanart. Lots, and lots of fanart- some of which showed his likeness in compromising positions with other's here in the void. Losing his composure he actually emitted a gasp as he could feel a mix of embarrassment and revulsion flowing through his body.
]

You'll paint over that NOW or I'll do it for you with your own tail wrapped tightly around your neck!

[Forgetting the very important factor that Brushboys didn't respond to well to threats, and this one most assuredly didn't stick around to take that kind of abuse. Naturally since he'd raised his voice this did him the disservice of drawing other people's attention to the area. Flaring out his jacket, he stepped in front of the mural to conceal it from view so he could stare down anyone that dared to approach into rethinking their actions. Then he could... deal with... this trash!

ooc: Examples of fanart by category but you are welcome to come up with your own! I won't be linking anything as lewd as what I referenced in text!

VI. The Fanfics

[personal profile] blue_eyed_obsession 2021-03-18 04:21 am (UTC)(link)
[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.

menaretrash: (pic#14743706)

i'm not sorry about this in the slightest

[personal profile] menaretrash 2021-03-18 04:42 am (UTC)(link)
[ There's more to do here than she'd thought; while she'd originally been pretty glued to Seto's side, at some point she'd strayed off mumbling something about barbecue and crepes. It's been a hot minute since then, though, so when she finally finds her way back to her dearly beloved, she's looking a lot different than when she'd walked off. She's absolutely decked out in that stupid Kaiba Corp hoodie still that's far too large even if the size claims it's a small, and now she's managed to obtain not one, but two of those adorable little Maintenance Dragon plushies, and there may or may not be several Take Your Heart logo stickers stuck onto her back and arms. One of those dragons is certainly sporting one on his little hard hat.

She's hardly paying attention to how ridiculous she looks with a plushie under one arm, one tucked safely within the confines of delightful hoodie's pocket, looking almost alive as it peeks out from the shadows. Instead, she's peeking over Seto's shoulder before she circles around to his left, head tipping slightly. ]


What's that?

[ Unfortunately, she's plucking one out of his hands, Obliteration of Weakness, and flipping through the pages. She catches Phantom Thieves and that catches her attention, and she takes to actually.... reading this. Sorta. Her cheeks turn a bright pink after a few moments, and she flips to the end... ah, tragedy strikes. She lets out a dramatic gasp, and then snaps the work closed, quickly giving it back to him. ]

I don't like the way that one ends, we have to rewrite it!

[ ...What. ]
blue_eyed_obsession: (Getting down to business)

SHAME SHAME KNOWS YOUR NAME

[personal profile] blue_eyed_obsession 2021-03-27 06:07 am (UTC)(link)
[Kaiba wasn't sure where Ann had wandered off to but he was almost grateful for her absence, since it would allot him time to dispose of this rubbish before she could see it. Or so he thought. As he toted around these works of fiction that had presumably been lovingly crafted by their authors he showed them zero respect, many of the pages were getting crumpled and creased in the process. As a reflex, he narrowed his eyes when he felt someone enter his personal bubble, but when the person spoke he resumed his usual expression.

Drawing up to a stop so he could look to her, he opened his mouth to speak but ended up saying something entirely different than what he had intended, his gaze sweeping over her
]

Did one of the booths explode on you?

[Wondering briefly how she had managed to get ahold of quite so much merchandise in such a limited duration of time since he'd last seen her]

Oh these are- you don't want to read that! [Reaching out to try and snatch it back, he had to abandon the initial effort in order to stabilize the remaining fics he was trying to balance.]

Ann really.. just put it where it belongs. [Not needing to have read it to know it's terrible. This fic was actually one of the better written ones but that really wouldn't have mattered to him. Nothing he says prevents her from reading it over enough to get the jist, and her emphatic reaction has him curious.]

You're assuming an awful lot, if you think I have any idea what you're talking about. [Knowing he was going to regret this.. he looked to the title page then back to her] What was the plot?
menaretrash: (pic#14743708)

NO REGERTS

[personal profile] menaretrash 2021-03-28 12:04 am (UTC)(link)
[ Poor Kaiba, he has a lot more work to do if he thinks she hasn't seen damn near half of that fan art of his... fanfics cannot be any more damaging at this point, okay. Either way, she smiles up at him when he recognizes her, looking quite pleased with herself even as he calls her out for all of the merch she's managed to get her sticky little fingers on in such a short amount of time. ]

Nope! I just put my shopping skills to good use! Except this is better, 'cause it's all free and my credit card hasn't been entirely maxed out for the eighth or nineth time!

[ Does she pump her free hand into the air with absolute excitement over that fact? She absolutely does~! ]

Ah-ah, pretty sure I need some good reading material~ [ Too late, she's already read it, and she's horrified. She blinks back up at him, wide eyed, and she quickly shakes her head. ]

I mean, yeah, it does belong in the trash, but this one had a really crappy ending! I think, I sorta skipped to the end but it was really bad! Therefore, before we burn it, it has to be fixed.

[ Of course he hadn't bothered to read it-- ] It had to do with the Phantom Thieves infiltrating a palace, specifically yours, and I'm pretty sure I fell for you or something, and then we were going to finally defeat your shadow self and you were like 'NO!!' and you killed yourself. Somehow. I've never seen a shadow actually do that... well. Shido. But he doesn't count.

The Forgotten Fleet

[personal profile] fluffyharpy 2021-03-18 01:43 pm (UTC)(link)
[Lysandra had at first been a little excited to see herself in fiction. It made her feel like a celebrity. But then she actually read the space opera she had been written into. It wasn't offensive, but rather it simply read like the fanfiction equivalent of Vogan poetry.

At first, she snickered at it, then as she read more her face turned to one of sheer wonder. Mostly thinking how could someone ever put this to paper and think it was ok? She then had to ask anyone...]

Have you read this trash?
blue_eyed_obsession: (♙You had it all under control)
