*Crawls out of black pit of revision* Urgh, so sorry for the horrible update wait- I got nothing but work as an excuse. Anyway, have another letter, this time suggested by angiembabe and I decided to use Marik to write about their ideas. Enjoy! ^_^

Dear Fanfiction Writers,
Well I would have thought after the last time I wrote a letter to you people the amount of crazy fanfiction about me would have decreased, but apparently my please have fallen on deaf ears. Also, it seems I'm going to have to reiterate some of the things Yugi, Ryou and I have already spoken about. You will never learn, will you?
There's one thing I'm very confused about. You would think the reason for writing fiction about a series would be due to your liking of said series, right? I mean it doesn't make any sense otherwise. So you would also think, following from that, that you like most of the characters that you write about. I mean of course you can't like everyone, but there's a chance that you like the main character in your story otherwise they wouldn't be the main character.
So why, please answer why, why you would out your supposed favourite characters through things such as sex changes, cross-dressing, male pregnancy and whatever else you can think of? There's nothing wrong with cross-dressing or wanting a sex change, I'd like to say before any of you start attacking me for that, but don't you think that something like that would have emerged in the actual series if it existed?
And yes, I know some people will say that YuGiOh is a kids show and isn't supposed to deal with issues like that, but that just adds more fuel to my confusion. YuGiOh is a KIDS show- why are you taking characters children are supposed to find entertaining and writing all manner of explicit things about them? Come on, when did YuGiOh go from children's trading cards to two male characters having sex in a parking lot? Two straight males I might add. And yes, I am referring specifically to fanfiction about Bakura and I. In a parking lot. We couldn't look at each other for weeks after that one.
So, my point is, if you loved these characters so much that you could write fanfiction about them, why would you subject them to things that you have no idea whether they would want? It seems pretty messed up to me, and I lived with a crazy psychopath in my head for years so that's saying something!
Yours sincerely,
Marik Ishtar.
PS: Don't go looking for that fanfiction about Bakura and I. I will know if you do. Seriously.
