Skin (fanfic): Difference between revisions

Line 1:

A fanfic by UsagiSquared of Fanfiction.net, Skin originally began as an attempt to prove to a fellow fanfic authoress that it was in fact possible [[Million-to-One Chance|to write a good]] [[Gender Flip|gender-bent fanfic]]. She arguably ''succeeded'', though the fanfic has more reputation for its character focus and accurate characterization than as a genderswap fanfic as a whole.

Skin is what you get when you decide to re-write the ''entire'' [[Yu-Gi-Oh]] series as though Seto Kaiba was a [[Wholesome Crossdresser|woman]] [[Sweet Polly Oliver|disguised]] [[Bifauxnen|as a man]], with otherwise little difference to anything else to start off.

Of course, as soon as Jonouchi Katsuya, whose point of view takes up a majority of the fiction itself found out about this little fact, things began to spiral into [[Hilarity Ensues|something else]]... ...Including [[Cosmic Horror]], [[Dreaming of Things to Come]] (Among things) with [[Power Incontinence]], intensive shows of [[Darker and Edgier]], and that's all before we finish off with the Duelist Kingdom. Needless to say, it's far more than a 'puppyshipping' fanfic, and definitely more than a re-write of the series.

=== This Fanfic Provides Examples of: ===

* [[Absurdly High Stakes Game]]: It's even worse here if that's possible.

* [[Adaptation Expansion]]: Legendary Heroes, by ''far'' given that what was originally only three episodes of anime ended up taking ''seven chapters to complete''. Even more so when you consider that the author makes it a personal rule for ''all'' duels to last a maximum two chapters, meaning that she crams five episodes into two chapters at times. It's fairly evident how much expanding there was to be done.

Line 95:

** {{spoiler|Dinosaur Ryuzaki}} discussing the absurdity of the Millennium Rod's power… {{spoiler|Right before receiving one of the darkest beatdowns in the fanfic from it.}}

* [[My Sister Is Off Limits]]: Jonouchi takes this to a type 5, possibly type 4 level, and only tells Yugi about his sister because he knows about his crush on Anzu.

* [[Never Trust a Title]]: The only reason why it's called 'Skin' is because the story's beta-reader had become so used to its Beta Name that it was too difficult to bother changing. To add insult to injury, the furthest the story will apparently get in terms of romance is {{WAFF fluff}}; it's quite likely that aside from the fourth chapter, there won't be any more skin seen.

* [[No Periods Period]]: Inverted many, ''many'' times. First when {{spoiler|Jonouchi tells Yugi to mention high levels of estrogen to Kaiba during Death-T}}, and then again when {{spoiler|he throws a box of tampons at the woman.}}

** Even better- The reason why Kaiba wanted Jonouchi to get her briefcase was ''because'' it had pads inside.
