Because You're Cute.
If I've written at least ten thousand words of fanfiction for a particular canon, across at least three fics, I'll write an entry talking about how that canon fits into my fandom history. Your Turn to Die qualified with the Silent Hill crossover I posted a couple of days ago, so here's the 'my fandom history' writeup!
Your Turn to Die
Riona: FUTURESOON WHY WOULD YOU GET ME INTO ANOTHER DEATH GAME

futuresoon: ahahaha YOU WERE EXACTLY WHO I WAS HOPING TO GET INTO IT
Just after my thirty-first birthday, I sawfuturesoon posting about a game called Your Turn to Die. I collect weird videogames about murder, and this sounded promising from the title alone, so I was compelled to investigate.
Your Turn to Die turned out to be a) great and b) free, so I felt good about this decision. I'd recommend it to anyone who's into Danganronpa or Zero Escape. (There are some minigames that require a bit of dexterity, but the 'Minigame Auto-Click' option makes them easier.)
My experience with the Your Turn to Die fandom has been an odd one. The Keiji/Sara part of the fandom has been incredibly warm and supportive, and I've received a lot of very long, kind, thoughtful comments from them on my fanfiction! But there's also a very vocal part of the fandom that loathes both Keiji/Sara and Keiji/Sara shippers. It's a fandom at war, and it can be a bit exhausting sometimes.
Favourite character: Keiji Shinogi is guilt-ridden, self-loathing and fascinating. I love that his motives are never entirely clear. I love that he deflects by flirting. I love that he conceals things from Sara, that he'll unhesitatingly lie to her face, and yet he never actually acts to harm her. He genuinely does seem to be on her side, but she can't trust a word he says.
Favourite pairing: Even if I hadn't already written a load of Keiji/Sara-tinged fanfiction, you'd probably be able to deduce it from my 'favourite character' answer. The constant tension between trust and distrust really drew me to the Keiji/Sara pairing. Keiji's shifty as hell and will manipulate Sara for his own ends, but he also genuinely seems to like and respect her. Sara doesn't know whether Keiji can be trusted, but she knows that he's important to her. It's a really fascinating dynamic with some great potential for darkness, and it's hard to think of any other relationship like it.
Number of words written: 13,069
Snippet: This is where I generally include a snippet of unfinished fanfiction, but I have almost nothing for Your Turn to Die, alas! These few lines were all I could find. I think the concept was supposed to be 'Sara wakes up in a world where the death game never happened and tries to track Keiji down'.
Nobody’s answering the door.
The address isn’t right. Of course it’s not right; Keiji’s one of the biggest liars Sara has ever met, and it’s only Sou keeping him from taking the top spot. He probably lied to the force about where he lives. She’s never going to find him.
It’s weird to think of him as ‘one of the biggest liars she’s ever met’ when she’s never technically met him.

also i noticed a typo? “But there's also a very vocal part of the fandom that loathes both Keiji/Sara and Keiji/Sara shippers.“ is this meant to be “both Keiji/Sara and Sou/Sara,” or was there a different hated ship? (tho tbh Keiji/Sara getting double hate amuses me bc, yknow, accurate)
no subject
Oh, I just meant that they hate both the pairing and the shippers! I probably could have phrased that more clearly, now that you mention it. ('tho tbh Keiji/Sara getting double hate amuses me bc, yknow, accurate' - ha!)

i don't really pay much attention to the YTTD tumblr fandom anymore (especially since rn i have it blacklisted so i don't get spoiled) but last year when i was semi-regularly checking the yttd tags... yeesh. *lots* of keiji/sara hate >.
