Because the commentary never stops

azuriteAnd Mer never shuts up, but you all knew that.
Lil Perfect Sin says: Is it just me, or most of the SetoxAnzu fics always have the same storyline: Anzu is always hired by Kaiba, Kaiba falls in love with Anzu, Anzu has a dark secret of some kind, Kaiba has a dark secret as well.
o_O I hate it, because she's right. That's just what I did with WDKY, isn't it? I mean, the tragedy thing was somewhat cliche as a general rule anyway, and many anime fandoms have that one egocentric, snappy, [rich] bastard who every girl loves to hate. He's always the perfect one to pair up with the most stubborn, friendly, girl in the series.
Look at...
Usagi x Mamoru
Miaka x Tamahome
Momo x Kiley
Kagome x Inuyasha
Akane x Ranma
o_O Coincidental? I THINK NOT!
>_> But all this looking over WDKY has got me shaking in my shoes. Maybe I should take a break from it after 9, and post some of the other YGO fic ideas collecting dust in that shriveled up organ known as my brain. I know I have a lot of the ideas for future chapters already plotted out... but there's something missing that I had at the beginning of the story that I just don't have anymore. That and, I need a beta. I really, really do.
Okay, so with WDKY, yeah, Tea does get hired by Kaiba, but that plot fades... and doesn't make a solid comeback until Part 10/11. Kaiba doesn't just "fall in love" with Tea; it's one of those angsty, annoying "processes" (get a parent to say "processes," in that parental-tone, and you'll see what I mean) that takes time. He goes from being confused over his attraction (not even knowing it *is* attraction) to annoyance (that Tea isn't attracted to him back, as far as he can tell), to more confusion (when Tea responds "negatively" to his "advances"). And later... well, you'll see. And as for dark secrets, Tea's "dark" secret is the focal point of the plot, and isn't a secret (really) at all-- it's the death of her parents. I suppose her "dark" secret is her living with Kaiba, but the only people who don't know that are her friends-- certainly not Kaiba. Maybe her affection for Kaiba? But then, even Mai and Serenity know about that. Kaiba's dark secrets... well, his past (where Gozaburo Kaiba was involved), but that's revealed in Part 8. His own affections for Tea, and... ???
Is it cliched enough?
Mero's been trying to wade the treacherous fic waters alone, thinking she's all good, but noo... I'm drowning here...
