DISCLAIMER: I don't own anything you recognize. If you actually attempt to learn anything from this fanfiction, and are sadly disappointed, it's not my fault. Well, it kinda is, but you get the idea.

THE PURPOSE: The purpose of this fanfiction is to strike out against any and all self-centered authors who think they know how to write. In a few moments, you are about to delve into the work known as YU-GI-OH! FANFICTION FOR DUMMIES. This stupid hunk of prose is designed to demonstrate, with thoughtful, brief examples, what NOT to do when writing a fanfiction. I chose Yu-Gi-Oh as my guinea pig because...well, because I'm the author! And thus the reason a bad author should read this. If ya loves it, review. If ya hates it, review. If ya don'ts care, review anyway.

A/N: I would have updated sooner, but other business forced me to do otherwise. But don't worry. The update's a good one, so enjoy!

YU-GI-OH! FANFICTION FOR DUMMIES!

By The Helldragon

"Persons attempting to find a motive in this narrative will be prosecuted; persons attempting to find a moral in it will be banished; persons attempting to find a plot in it will be shot. BY ORDER OF THE AUTHOR."-Mark Twain

Chapter Twenty: The Summary Of All Evil

And then Yugi and his friends fought through Hitler's evil trials, beat him, and won the game. The End.

Wait…I'm missing something, aren't I?

Oh, yeah!

The wise author does not offer a mere summary of events to his reader.

Oh…oops.

The Helldragon: Uh...not exactly a good conclusion, is it?

(Everyone gives The Helldragon a very crude look.)

The Helldragon: I'll take that as a yes. Well, it IS Fanfiction For Dummies-

(Suddenly, a bolt of force hits The Helldragon, originating from a man dressed in dark robes and a hood. He lowers his hood, revealing blood red slits for eyes.)

Voldemort: YES! Finally, that moron of fanfiction is disposed! Now I, Voldemort, rule ! MUWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

The Helldragon: NOT SO FAST, BI-OTCH!

(The Helldragon roasts Voldemort for 30 minutes, set to 350 degrees.)

The Helldragon: Mmmmm. Dark lord. (slobbers)

Now, what's wrong with this chapter?

A. (crude look)
B. (angry look)
C. (a mix of the two)

Uh...never mind.

But don't worry, heroes! The first half of Fanfiction For Dummies is officially over, so grab your #2 pencils, 'cause it's test time once again! Be sure to study Chapters Eleven through Twenty, get a good night's sleep, and eat a good breakfast, BECUASE I'M GOIN' TA FUCK-START YOUR HEAD IF YOU FAIL!
