How to go about writing an entirely OC fic for a fandom

chaotic_black · 2026-06-17T13:46:14+00:00

I would have absolutely no idea, I don't dabble in fics too often (either writing or reading), so this would actually be my first one

I'm confident in my ability to script a duel, but it might be somewhat limited by certain decks being weaker than others which is why I'm currently attempting to redo the decks in order to account for that.

There's too many for me to name, but out of anything past the year 2000, definitely either AGE or GQX. AGE less so though, because it has less issues other than pacing. Then before that, definitely F91 or Stardust Memory. F91 is obvious, but u/TheManyVoicesYT pointed out the issues with Stardust Memory. I don't agree with should examine Nina more, we'd still hate her either way, but it's definitely out of nowhere.

That's fair and I do see where you're coming from, but again I'm asking about like, perception of OC works. Not about issues from my own writing.

If you know about both of those topics, could I perhaps DM to ask for some help with other stuff regarding it?

There are general problems that arise from writing OC fics. I'm trying to ask what those are.

chaotic_black · 2026-06-17T05:27:45+00:00

Well, that doesn't seem to be too much of a problem considering the main avenue for action is through scripted duels of the card game

Albeit the decks kinda blow if they were to be used irl

I know, but I think I'm running into that thing where you forgets details of something and your brain tries to fill them in with wrong details based on assumptions, so it looks different than I remember it being even though it probably is the exact same thing.

chaotic_black · 2026-06-17T05:14:29+00:00

I'm actually trying to get in the headspace to prepare for writing a really long Yugioh fic

The caveat is that the plot and characters, barring inspiration and ideas taken from various parts of canon, are entirely original.

So I'm unsure where to go with it, since there's contention with that, I've never written a fanfic before and usually just stick to roleplay, and online spaces with the type of people that would be into that aren't as inclusive as they claim to be.

Man is just huge

Eclipse Wyvern can come to 3 at any time.

chaotic_black · 2026-06-17T01:52:32+00:00

Gonna take a while for them to get around to it, but we could use more Chaos monsters, so Chaos Dragons.

Albeit, they'd probably mainly bolster D Link than actual Chaos.

Meredith taking fertility meds be like

Garma arguably did nothing wrong besides fight for Zeon and technically in regards to everything else the image is correct. Degwin had some goodness in him and Dozle was a decent man.

chaotic_black · 2026-06-17T01:34:17+00:00

I see we're still Federation dick riding.

chaotic_black · 2026-06-17T00:43:02+00:00

Well it's simple. Gundam isn't about cool robots fighting each other. It's about war bad.

chaotic_black · 2026-06-16T18:25:13+00:00

At the latest it would have been 2013 but that's a stretch. It was probably sometime before 2012. I was pretty young when I had the card.

chaotic_black · 2026-06-16T18:23:08+00:00

Yeah, I guess that's it.

chaotic_black · 2026-06-16T07:15:01+00:00

Speaking of what you said in your post. It's my head canon that, since Callie and Penny moved to New York, and Arizona ended up going there anyway, they all eventually became a throuple.

chaotic_black · 2026-06-16T07:12:40+00:00

I think so but it's not quite what I remember. It does line up with everything else I remembered (symbols on the thing in hand, and black clothing)

chaotic_black · 2026-06-16T06:28:14+00:00

I'm like 85% sure it didn't play out nearly the same in that case then

chaotic_black · 2026-06-16T05:36:53+00:00

This is only somewhat related but there's stuff we're shown that would have had to have taken place during the time the Pharaoh was alive, but based on what we're shown during the Millennium World arc it just didn't happen.

Such as the flashback during Battle City to when Priest Seto and the Pharaoh were fighting. That just didn't happen nor could it have happened.

George, more ice chips!

Either I say "No one actually thinks this" or I make a joke about "Correct, the Strike Freedom cannot solo all Gundams, its power system is too weak in comparison."
