I want to know what fic this is.

There are some shitty fics I'm inexplicably fond of. Like, "Oh, character, you are not Jack but you are doing things I like so much I'm willing to pretend you're Jack."

is it a kaiba/joey fic? I ship it (I like hatesex, what can I say) but I swear, that pairing has the WORST fic. even aside from the general OOC-ness that plagues most of it, it's always really annoyed me that most of them have kaiba call joey "puppy" like five million times. just...stop.

It's gotta be Kaiba/Joey. That's pretty much the most popular ship in canon/most terribly written, so it'd fit the bad + 100s of comments description.

Man, I used to ship Kaiba/Joey so hard. (Was never even that into Yu-Gi-Oh if I'm being honest, but the visual of those two worked for me?) It didn't even have to be hatesex (or stay that way, anyway), but I ate that shit up.

Looking back on it...holy shit was a lot of it OOC and awful (the puppy thing, NO), but I still think fondly of it.

(And now I'm wondering if there's actual decent fic for the pairing.)

now I'm wondering if there's actual decent fic for the pairing

I've been asking myself this for years and I still don't know

I think there were. Off the top of my head I recall the authors WhosJeebus, Rroselavy, samurai-ashes, akaiblush, and Regann being good, and I've seen people rec Tendency and D Draggy. (I know I'm forgetting people, but I was in the fandom 10 years ago.)

ETA: Cody Nelson. Losing to Win is one of the best fics I ever read in the fandom.

(I also wrote some under the pseud of Animom which were well-received; the word "puppy" does not appear in any of them.)

lmao. Now that you've been rec'd some things, I think I'll give them a read!

I will cross my fingers silverr is our saviour and there IS decent fic we've been missing out on all these years.

An aside, but I must say how much I appreciate that you said most rather than all. (There were a few good ones here and there, after all. *g*)

Recs, please?

i still ship this (although way more lowkey) but i admit, i had written a few fics where he called him "puppy" ... i think. i don't want to look though (although i still want to write/finish this one AU i had an idea for).

either way, [war flashbacks]

Liiiiiiink plllleeeeeeaaaaaaase!!!!!!!

I'm gonna regret this later, but fuck it.

Now if you'll excuse me, I need to crawl into a hole in the ground and die of embarrassment. That's how bad this fic is; I CAN'T EVEN LINK TO IT ANONYMOUSLY WITHOUT FEELING ASHAMED OF MYSELF.

*pats OP gently* There, there.

hahaha, I've totally read this one! No shame OP, sometimes you just want to read shitty id fic. It happens

I just read the first two words of the summary "Uke Seto!" and was like nope.

Eh, in that fic, I agree, but while it's very difficult to do right, I hae seen it done: that Cody Nelson fic I linked twice upthread and one or two by Regann made it work, imo.

i honestly thought you were talking about this fic: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/1839966/1/An-Innocent-Joke

it's everything you described but goddamn i just adore it

good lord, I've read both of these fics. I have a problem

don't know this specific fic, cause not my fandom, but I know this type of fic. There's one I followed for about 14 chapters and then even started readon the sequel for another ten before I finally had to stop. For me it was a mixture of secretly enjoying some of the clichés despite the fact that hey were horribly ooc for these characters, and the fact that I simply had to know how bad/crazy/stupid it could get. It helped the trainwreck factor that the sequel used a setting I tend to nitpicky about and therefore had me laughing through a lot of the otherwise unbearably horribly scenes of physical abuse exerted on the poor characters. (Which might sound callous, but really, once violence turns into comically implausable violence it becomes easier)

I have totally read multiple fics like that and loved them. Thry have to surpass a certain level of terribleness to be enjoyable though - a fic with just one or two shitty traits (say, it's OOC and sappy, but not melodramatic or contrived) is just frustrating. It has to really go to town on the shittiness on multiple different levels to become awesome.

There's a fic like that in my fandom too.

I think there's probably a fic like that in every fandom.

Hahaha, there's one of these in every fandom. Thankfully the one in my fandom got deleted.
