"Puzzleshipping Syndrome"
By: Eliyora
This is a warning for all! The disease known as "Puzzleshipping Syndrome" is currently spreading rapidly, taking hold of innocent girls and turning them into PLWs. (Perverted Lemon Writer) This is a dangerous situation that could potentially cause havoc within society. The speed at which this disease takes hold varies from individual to individual, so here is a list of early warning signs of infection.
1) Sighing happily at small hints in the anime. This is a very mild sign. It could very well be a symptom of the similar illness, "Yaoi-love Disease."
2) Drooling over fanarts of Yugi and Atem together, shirtless.Again, another mild sign. Two shirtless, sexy males could and should make any fangirl drool.
3) Giddiness at fanarts of Yugi and Atem hugging intimately. Now it is time to start paying attention. This is a stronger warning sign.
4) Squealing at fanarts and fanfics that contain Yugi and Atem kissing.This is a red flag. If it has gotten this far, the victim has contracted Puzzleshipping Syndrome.
If the case is diagnosed quickly enough, treatment may be possible. There are several stages to this illness.
1) Seeking out puzzleshipping fics.The very earliest stage, and the easiest to treat. Simply preventing Yu-Gi-Oh! exposure could clear all symptoms. (Note: This is a risky treatment. In some cases, PS victims have been known to become rabid and attack the medical expert treating them in order to re-establish exposure to Yu-Gi-Oh!)
2) Writing small drabbles that contain puzzleshipping. While in this stage, the case is still treatable. Treatment is the same as stage one.
3) Drawing fanarts of puzzleshipping part one: cuddles and kissing. Victims of PS who have reached this stage become a little more difficult to treat. At this point, on top of ending Yu-Gi-Oh! exposure, the patient must also have their art supplies removed, so as to stop the patient from creating Yu-Gi-Oh! items on their own.
4) Writing multi-chapter fics.The case is becoming advanced. Treatment at this stage has become difficult to handle, as they more often than not become volatile when treatment is attempted. At this stage, light exposure to Peachshipping is recommended.
5) Seeking out lemon fics.The victim will not be willingly treated at this stage. A heavy dose of Peachshipping daily is required.
6) Drawing fanarts of puzzleshipping part two: lime.At this point, the case may be considered untreatable. Rare cases of recovery from this stage have been known, but often the Syndrome has advanced too far to be remedied.
7) Writing lemons and drawing of fanarts part three: hentai.Terminal stage. None who have gone this far have been known to recover. At this point, the patient has become a PLW.
Please also be aware that in some cases, certain stages may be skipped. For example, Stage One may advance immediately to Stage Four. There have even been known cases of the victim immediately jumping to Stage Seven.
Be aware, and watch your friends. If they begin to display symptoms, administer treatment immediately. Do not allow them to become a PLW.
