Season 8 is dead, Long Live Season 8,5!
So I'm planning on writing about the YuGiOh! Fanfiction Contest for a bit longer, but from here on my posts will shift toward *squee* and away from, erm, 'informative'. Why?
Because I'm part of it, too! :D
Still an elimination based challenge, but with a fixed number of rounds and a whole new voting system! No more rounds, but tiers, and we are offered a range of three pairings (almost all of them echoes from Season 1) that we get to choose in advance. Here they are; my picks are italicized.
Tier 1 - Due June 17th
Prideshipping (Seto Kaiba x Yami no Yuugi)
Peachshipping (Yuugi Mutou x Anzu Mazaki)
Polarshipping (Katsuya Jounouchi x Mai Kujaku)
Tier 2 - Due ?
Angstshipping (Malik Ishtar x Ryou Bakura)
Conceitshipping (Yami no Bakura x Mai Kujaku)
Wishshipping (Katsuya Jounouchi x Yuugi Mutou)
Tier 3 - Due ?
Casteshipping (Thief King Bakura x Pharaoh Atem)
Kiddyshipping (Mokuba Kaiba x Rebecca Hawkins)
Mystshipping (Isis Ishtar x Anzu Mazaki)
Tier 4 - Due ?
Fragileshipping (Yami no Yuugi x Ryou Bakura)
Crosshipping (Yami no Malik x Yuugi Mutou)
Wallshipping (Rishid x Shizuka Kawai)
Tier 5/Bonus Round - Due ?
???
That's a lot of het for me, considering how I was a puzzle, then tender, then puppyshipper when I first entered the fandom almost ten years ago. I'm growing more and more interested in YuGiOh het, and Wallshipping seems especially intriguing and challenging.
But the best part is, two of the authors that I am most excited about this Season - sanada_tomoyo(aka Ziven) and darkrunner (also darkrunner on ff.net) - happen to have picked have picked almost the same set I did! It'll be exciting to compete alongside these two brilliant writers on the same turf (I picked Ziven's exact same set without knowing, and darkrunner had picked myst instead of kiddy).
Now excuse me while I go about frolicking in the park with my nascent plot bunnies!
