badfic stats! oh the humanity!

Is this the future of One Piece fic? There are 35,000 stories now listed on ff.net's YGO section. Of the first 100 fics (all posted/updated within the last 24 hours or so), there are 20 without spelling or grammar mistakes in either the title or the summary (my favorite is "Kaiba becomes a supper hero" - he starts volunteering at a soup kitchen?). There are surprisingly only 11 obvious Mary Sues, mostly going after Kaiba - Seto-sama gets a lot of action, of the 63 romance/pairing fics, 31 list him in the pairings. Shizuka narrowly beats her brother in bagging everyone's favorite asshole CEO, 8 SetoxShizuka to 7 SetoxJou. Impressive, considering in the series I don't think Shizuka and Kaiba have ever actually exchanged words.

And yeah, I'm still posting there anyway - here's my latest fic, courtesy of gnine, who came up with the whole thing. Featuring time travel, Kaiba angst, and people who take their card games way too seriously...
