Feh.
Okay, so, this is a page about something really annoying. Some Kirby X person is, from what I can see, going around on FanFiction.net and demanding that people write Yuugi/Shizuka fics, just because he/she/it says so. I mean, I don't care that this person supports the couple, but just the fact that he/she/it is acting like some spoiled brat who has to get everything he/she/wants really annoys me.
Anyway, I first came across this on February 12, 2003, when I got this review in my inbox:
******************ATTENTION******************
(Sure got MY attention!!! All the STARS!!!)
Okay guys, for the last few months, I have been flaming you horrically (...No you haven't...) because you would not write a Yugi/Serenity fic. Well, I basically do not know if I can fix all the destruction I can cause (...?????), but I do have a true tale I want you all to listen too.
Don't worry, I won't hurt you, I promise. (Don't worry, I wasn't worried about that, I promise.) Here goes: (SHE'S GONNA BLOW!!!!!!!11)
In summer on 2002, I was working on a HEAVILY modified version of a Yu-gi-oh fic, "Picking Up The Pieces" (it was an NC-17 fic you will no longer find on ff.net, but before ff.net deleted that fic, I managed to make a copy of both chapters of that fic and saved it to my hard drive (OH so luckily!!!) ) and in that modified fic, it follows ALMOST the same storyline as "Picking Up The Pieces," except Yugi becomes VERY saddened for a extended period of time after Tea tells him that she and Yugi couldn't see each other as boyfriend/girlfriend anymore. (Aww...)
Yugi's friends tried EVERYTHING (that part was not finished; I made plans of using that while I was working at Wal-Mart for a summer-program (Don't take pictures in Wal-Mart. Not even next to Ronald McDonald on the bench. It's not allowed.), but I never did write these ideas because I was too lazy, and I also thought of ideas for a Doom II Total Conversion (Wa-haa now?) as well) to make Yugi happy again, but absolutly NOTHING could cheer him up (So he committed SUICIDE! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! For the gazillionth time!!!).
That was until in the scene when Serenity came over to the Turtle Shop, and she calms Yugi down. I want you to listen to me VERY CAREFULLY ABOUT WHAT I SAY NEXT... (*cups ears to hear* Huh... all I hear is Gravitation music coming out my computer speakers.) when I typed the part when Serenity cuddles Yugi and tells him to relax:
I CRIED. (GASP!) I CRIED BECAUSE THIS PAIRING IS VERY SWEET, VERY TOUCHING AND VERY EMOTIONAL TO ME... (Isn't that why you generally start supporting couples...? Well, unless you're one of us.)
/me sheads tears (???????)
............ (......)
/me blows nose as emotional music starts playing (MUST have the romance movie clichés and stereotypes.)
I have made alot of nasty, cold-hearted reviews (WA-OH!! Not to me!!!), but I did NOT intend to say that the FICS was BAD, the fics was okay (They sure was!!). The Yugi/Tea and Seto/Serenity pairings make me feel VERY uncomfortable, because I was expecting all Yu-gi-oh fanfic authors to write Yugi/Serenity fics (Why in the WORLD would you do that? Don't you know people are different? Have you been living under a ROCK for your entire life?). They have all failed to do so. (Apparently because they don't live under your rock.)
Why? All I wanted for you to do was to support Yugi/Serenity. (ROCK! ROCKROCKROCKKKK!!!) Last night, when I was in bed, I did not like the thought of Seto/Serenity, and it was a uncomfortable feeling for me. (They're freaking cartoon characters!!!) So I cried.
However, I have made a horrific mistake, and now I have regreted it... (You HAVE... implying that you don't anymore...?)
Everyone's bans have been lifted. (What? Bans? Wha...haaa????)
/me sobs (Oh... poor you...)
Please... (Onegai...)
Please... (Onegaishimasu...)
Please... (Kudasai...)
Listen to me, and support Yugi/Serenity (Um... no?), before my nightmare worsens... :'( (OH! ACTUALLY, I THINK I WILL!! THE EMOTICON HAS CONVINCED ME OTHERWISE! OH, JOY! MY EYES HAVE BEEN OPENED! MY SORROWS HAVE BEEN LIFTED!! OH, MY LIFE IS SO MUCH BETTER!!!)
Yeah, so, this review was purely and utterly strange, random, annoying, and confusing. First off, it was a review to my Cinnamon Eyes fic... which is Otogi/OC. NOT Yuugi/Anzu or Seto/Shizuka.
So, just to spite the person, I posted a chapter about Anzu/Yuugi and Seto/Shizuka a few days later.
Just kidding. I had already planned out the entirety of the Valentine's Day special.
Anyway, I got this review, and my reaction was something along the lines of, "Whaa-haaa???? Huh? What a FREAK...!!" I presented it to Luigi, and her response was very similar, save for the confused sounds, as she was PREPARED to see something utterly stupid.
What got us the most was the whole "/me" thing. Eventually, I came up with the theory that whoever this was had written this in a chat room. (Because if you say "/me" followed by an action, it shows up as "(handle name) (action)." Also, this person was talking about bans, and not for a moment did I suspect that this person was xing, despite the fact that they both have Xs in their names.)
I had planned to email this person regarding this review/flame, but I never got around to it, and completely forgot about it.
So, this issue didn't show itself to me again until today (4/9/03) when I was surfing around ff.net, looking at whatever fics I had read before and reading their reviews for whatever reason.
Eventually, I came across I Have All That I Need! by Seto Kaiba, a (Seto/Shizuka) sequel to a fic (that I didn't like that much) that I had read before. I looked in the reviews, becuase I had vaguely remembered someone flaming the person demanding that their name be changed, since the flamer's name was ALSO Seto Kaiba (and I am so easily amused and I got a good laugh out of that). Lo and behold, what did I find in the reviews?
Another flame by this Kirby X person, made a week before, with some... colorful language:
Kirby X: DECLARING WAR AGAINST YUGI/TEA AND SETO/SERENITY SHIPPERS (trabadox84@hotmail.com)
(ALMOST as pointless and stupid as "Gulf War II"!!!)
What the f***?! (GASP!!!)Don't you realize that this female tosser's not willing to write a Yugi/Serenity fanfic (Oh my... are you coming to your SENSES?!), or are you reviewers just ate up with the dumba**? (...I'm sorry, that sentence made absolutely no sense to me.)
And another thing. (Oh?)
Why do you people insist on writing Seto/Serenity bulls*** online? (Gee, it's Yu-Gi-Oh! fanfiction... where are they going to put it? The school paper? The New York Times? Reading Rainbow?)
You also didn't LISTEN TO MY POSTS INSISTING AND DEMANDING THAT I NEED YUGI/SERENITY FICS WRITTEN. (Well, what did you EXPECT?) YOU HAVE FAILED TO DO SO, AND YOU ARE NOW GOING TO BE ATTACKED, SPAMMED, FLAMED, AND FINALLY, BE BANNED BY ME. (There's that banning thing again...)
I'm sick of this Seto/Serenity bulls*** you're doing, because it's causing me to realize you're DELIBRATELY angering me (If you're suggesting that there is no evidence of the couple, and these people are just pulling things out of thin air, I'd suggest you do some research), and you're not even doing what I'm asking for. (Uh, huh... and?)
I was expecting a lot of Yugi/Serenity fics to be written. (You sure haven't changed, huh? Oh, wait, no, last time you were a sweet little cream puff crying over the smallest of things. Now you're a big, bad, dirty-mouthed punk.) I wanted Yugi/Serenity fics because I loved Yugi/Serenity. (Understandable. I suppose.)
Sadly, it didn't happen, because you have failed to cooprate with me in a VERY DISGRACEFUL MATTER. (Oh, I am SO sorry. I suppose it IS disgraceful to be yourself, and refuse to do what some knave demands of you...) NOW YOU WILL FACE SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES AS A RESULT OF NOT WRITING WHAT I WANT. (This person really DOES think he/she/it's xing. Or Saddam Hussein? Meh.)
Even if a ban is obvious or not, you moronic b*****s, I am NOT going to give up on the war against Yugi/Tea and Seto/Serenity shipping. (You talk about a war, but you talk as if no one is supporting you...? Is that smart in ANY kind of war?)
Say your prayers, (Our Father, who art in heaven...) and SHUT THE F*** UP. (*eyes dart right, then left* PFFFFFFTTTTT!!!!!)
So... what happened to regretting all the mean and threatening things you said? what happened to not meaning to say that the fics were bad? What happened to lifting "bans"?? What happened to dropping off the face of the earth?
What in the world are these bans that you keep talking about?!
I think I'm actually going to email this person tonight. I'll tell you guys how that goes if you want.
4/9 5:50 PM- So, I emailed the person. Have yet to recieve a reply, though.
Hello, there! Back in February, I recieved a review from you in one of my fanfics. It looked something like this:
(Insert first flame here)
Okay, no offense, but that's just freakish. I had let this pass by, almost contacting you about this (it was in an Otogi/OC fic, nothing to do with Yuugi/Anzu or Seto/Shizuka), but, frankly, I forgot.
Then, today, I came across a review you wrote a week ago for a Seto/Shizuka fic called "I Have All that I Need!" And I saw it as even more stupid and time-wasting:
(Insert second flame here)
Now, really, first off, if you want to have people listen to you, at least TRY to sound intelligent. Don't curse.
Secondly... didn't you say that you "wouldn't hurt anybody" and "regretted what you did"? So... why are you coming back and doing this again?? And what in the world are these bans you're talking about?
I won't say any more here, because I think I've done enough ranting here. If you've flamed any other stories like this, I'd like to see them, and read some more of your opinions.
Okay! Write back soon!!!
Freak.
4/9 9:50 PM- Replies! I got two replies! Gosh, this person is FAST! :D
Ever heard of MSN Hotmail's "Block Sender" feature? This is how I ban jacka***s like you. >:-] (That's not technically banning, though. It's blocking... whatever.)
Don't ever spam like that again (Spam? What's your definition of spam? Wouldn't you normally NOT reply to spam? Myself, I'd call the email to you a "confrontational message."), or I'll ban you myself. (Ha! For a moment there, I thought you said that you'd ban YOURSELF! Now THAT would be pointless!) Now, if you excuse me, I'll show you something that will not only offend you, but also to prove to you that I am VERY, VERY serious when I ask for Yugi/Serenity fics:
(picture of Curious George with a hangover)
(And... I'm supposed to be offended by this... how? And exactly how does this prove that you're serious about wanting Yuugi/Shizuka fics...?
Have a nice day. (Thank you, I think I will!)
And THIS one!!
VERY FUNNY, PEGASUS J.CRAWFORD. (Whaa... haaaa???? Who?? Oh, the name that's sent with my emails... hehhhh...)
Too bad you had to leave out that link from your previous letter. (Whaaaaaaa? Huh? I'm really confused now.)
Now you're REALLY asking for a ban NOW, aren't you? (What? It's a page on a humor site that isn't supposed to be taken seriously at all. Don't be so offended!!)
(picture of the words "BANNED")
(Uh... huh...)
Of course, I answered immediately.
Oh, THAT'S what you mean by banning? You could have said block. It's just as easy.
I just want you to know that I have absolutely nothing against Seto/Shizuka, or you, for that matter. But your demands annoyed me a bit, and if I have offended you in any personal way (that doesn't involve me not SUPPORTING the couple because, I'm sorry, that's really just a stupid way to get offended), I'm sorry. Nothing cruel was meant by the email or page, and if that's the way you saw them, well, sorry again. That's the way my personality is, and sometimes if I seem to myself that I'm not going overboard, a lot of other people see it the opposite. So... let's make amends, 'kay?
Oh, and you can call me Umeko. :D It's easier than Pegasus J. Crawford.
4/10 3:48 PM- Hey... wait a minute...
Crudbunnies, I said Seto/Shizuka, didn't I? My bad, I meant Yuugi/Shizuka. My brain was seriously fried last night.
-Umeko :D
4/10 4:57 PM- Okay, I seriously don't understand this person.
Subject: Oh nice one, Umeko... (THANKS! ^^)
OR SHALL I CALL YOU PEGASUS J. CRAWFORD SINCE YOUR INTERNET PROTOCOL'S MATCH?! (I told you, call me UMEKO.)
Not only have you become a homosexual retarded idiot by spamming at me more after being banned (Woah, how would THAT make me a "homosexual retarded idiot?" And if you had banned me, how could I have spammed you more?) -- uh, no, I mean, "blocked..." (Yes, you do.)
BUT NOW YOU'RE USING ANOTHER E-MAIL ADDRESS TO TRY TO ATTEMPT A "BLOCK-SENDER EVASION"! (I have absolutely no idea WHAT you're talking about. I never tried to email you with the account you emailed me at. It's my personal email account, which isn't posted anywhere on the internet... odd...)
Houndoom: I SAY YOU BLOCK HER AGAIN! (WOW, IT'S A POKÉMON!!!)
Me: Banned for ban evasion. (Still don't know what you're talking about...)
My response (by means of yet another email account)?
I never even emailed you with that account! I have no idea WHAT you're talking about.
Please, don't try to push me to my edge. I have friends who have infested people with viruses for me, and they'd be willing to do it again.
-Umeko
4/10 6:19 PM- Wow, I got another email! AND Kirby X signed my TagBoard! I am SO very fortunate.
Me: WHY WILL YOU NOT DIE?! (Because I am GOD of this site!!! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!) Houndoom, Flamethrower attack!
Houndoom: /me (There's that "/me" thing again... and it's not even him/her/it!!) uses Flamethrower on that spammer. (Luckily, I AM fire. AND I am not "that spammer.")
Me: /me tosses Umeko (FINALLY you call me by my "real" name!!!) to my personal He** (Thank you for saving me the effort of censoring your language.) and gathers keys and chains to seal the door, thus blocking her account (AGAIN!!).
LOCKED (Meh. Do I care?)
Me: Now, STAY OUT, YOU SPAMMER!! (I still fail to see who you are referring to.)
I'm sure that Kirby X will be pleased to hear that I've gotten bored of this. But who knows? Someday I might be really bored and get on one of my OTHER email accounts and email him/her/it again.
But I still want to know how he/she/it got my personal email account.
The TagBoard "Conversation."
Umeko: Woo, peoples!! Umeko here. Write whatever pleases you!!
Kirby X: No now go away.
Umeko: Oh, come on. This is my site, YOU go away.
Umeko: Whee! I'm a pretty princess!! XD
Umeko: 
Kirby X: [img]http://users.telenet.be/eforum/emoticons4u/vi

Umeko: Do you even KNOW how to use HTML?
Umeko:
<img src="http://users.telenet.be/eforum/emoticons4u/violent/sterb126.gif">
Umeko: Well... I guess that doesn't work, either.
Umeko: But if it HAD worked for you, you would have ended up shooting yourself (or your name, at least).
Umeko: Not smart.
DClick: 
(Where'd my other message go?) -board. ^_^
DClick: OK, so the first part didn't show up. o.o What I said was... (Am I the only one getting tired of
DClick: looking at that Duke/Tristan picture?) Fwee, mini-message-board.
DClick: Wish you could type more at a time o.o Oh, and to Kirby: 
DClick: OK, I read that page now about the Kirby X thing, and I have one thing to say: WTF?! All that over a
DClick: pairing that I, for one, have seen NO evidence of? I believe Kirby is the spammer here. o.O
Kirby X: Evidence my ***! Use your imagination instead!
DClick: Weeell... imagination IS always good. Hey, I just thought of something. If you want a Yugi/Serenity
DClick: fic so badly, why don't you write one yourself? ^_^
Umeko: DC brings up a good point. Two, actually. I have seen episodes 1-92 in uncut Japanese, and Yuugi and Shizuka never even look at each other, much less speak to each other. But, who knows, they may at some point AFTER episode 92...
Umeko: Also, Kirby, I really don't see why you go around asking, no, DEMANDING people to write Yuugi/Shizuka fics when you really could write them yourself. I know you have written "Picking up the Pieces," (which I can't find
Umeko: anywhere on the internet) but you really shouldn't be trying to force people into writing something that they don't want to write. And if you ask them rudely, they DEFINITELY won't write what you ask for.
Umeko: Ah, well. DC, I set it so that now you can type up to 999 characters (the maximum amount)!!!!
Kirby X: You're not tryyyyinnng... 
Umeko: I'm not tryyyyinnng what!??
Cathe: Waaaaaaaii... Yugi/Shizuka is kinda cute but......... HEY!!! I don't go around demanding people to write Seto/Honda, ri-i-i-ight??? I ask nicer-ly fer thems.
...
Kirby X: Imaginations [IMG]http://www.freeadpower.org/~mrsmiles/cwm/cwm/

Umeko: So, wait... I'm "not tryyyyinnng imaginations"??
Houndoom: She doesn't get it, does she? >:P
Kirby X: THIS LITTLE GIRL FAILS IT
Umeko: Little? Exactly how old are YOU, Kirby? You still play with Pokemon, it seems...
Umeko: And, learn how to use exclamation points, okay?
Umeko: In addition, I am simply APPALLED that you would suggest that I have FAILED something. Are you implying that I don't so well in school, because I certainly do very well!
Umeko: Now, good night, and I wish you very pleasant dreams, Kirby.
Kirby X: .......
Houndoom: Talk about "Failing it!"
Psyduck: Oh, I need a drink! *HIC* (The REAL reason I was not so bright was because I'm actually drunk)
Mightyena: So now what?
Houndoom: I SAY WE HACK INTO THIS SITE!
Kirby X: NO
Kirby X: It's not going to work.
Kirby X: Let her go for now. Now go lie down.
Umeko: Ah, you think you're so funny, huh?
Don't even try to hack into this site. I told you, I have very resourseful friends. Don't push me.
Again, I would like to note that this page is OUTDATED, and I'm pretty sure that I can speak for both Kirby and I when I say that we don't feel as expressed here any more.
