Request from angiembabe, another great idea ^_^ So once again this is the character writing and I mean no offence!

Dear Fanfiction Writers,
So it's been brought to my attention that there's more to fanfiction than all of the weird pairings between characters that you can come up with. Apparently there are a load of stories where the writer has placed themselves in the story under the guise of being an OC. So of course, I investigated, and what I found has pretty much scarred me for life.
Let me get one thing straight. I don't mean to be harsh, but we all know that you want to be something more than you are. You want to be the main character of the series (even though it has plenty already) so you make up a backstory for yourself, change your appearance to what you want it to be in reality and sometimes throw an eighth Millennium Item in there to make things interesting. Then you go and write your story where someone (often me,) falls madly in love with you and you live happily together.
Either you're evil and twisted and I somehow manage to make you see the light, or you're an orphan who gets caught up in all of the canon events, or you were my best friend in Ancient Egypt and I somehow remember this just in time to confess my love for you. I've seen them all, and really they're not in any way feasible and most of them have no plot other than the pairing you want. I know I'm not the only one that's had to deal with this either, Bakura, Marik and Kaiba have all had their fair share of these stories.
What you have to remember is that our series works perfectly fine with the characters it has and we don't need any more protagonists or antagonists, and we don't really want any either. Please let us be, we have enough to deal with as it is.
And if you really want to be a main character, the only way you can do that is in your own real life. You don't need a tragic backstory or hundreds of colours in your hair to be a main character in your own story. So please, enjoy being you instead of trying to be someone in a universe you can never be part of, because you are great just how you are.
Yours sincerely,
Yami Yugi.
