Yay! hi anupriyabond! I was hoping some people would join today ^_^
How is everyone?

Meron Sahi 09-04-2009 08:59 AM

Yay! I love Yaoi ^^

*suibscribe*

Well, sth constructive... one of my favourite pairings is Byakuya and Renji from Bleach.

For-Chan Cookie 09-04-2009 09:13 AM

I'm so confused! I saw this thread go by on the Spy page and thought it was the one I'd subscribed to updating. But it's not!

Is Oscar's lovely little Boy's Love and Girl's Love thread invisible? I know we can have as many hangout threads as we want, but it seems sad to ignore the one she set up already.

That makes me wonder, do people not use the term Boy's Love? I know a lot of people still cling to calling it shounen ai, but shounen ai refers to a pedophilic interest in little boys. Boy's Love, Boy Love or just BL is the proper catch all phrase that refers to the soft stuff and the more hardcore yaoi materials. It just seems that no one seems to realize that.

Out of curiosity, do you (general you, anybody can answer) recognize Boy's Love as referring to Yaoi and such or did you not know this?

Oscar the Wild 09-04-2009 07:00 PM

Nah, it's okay, For-chan. We can always have two hangouts! Thanks, though. ^_^ No, I refer to Boys' Love with yaoi in it too, I just wanted to make a general all-out thread.

~AmayaxKiyomori~ 09-05-2009 01:25 AM

*subcribes instantly* Wow, I have so many favorite yaoi pairings that I probably can't even remember half of them :D

I use the term shonen ai for the "lighter" stuff, and yaoi for the more "hardcore" things. My cousin uses the term boys love all the time, so I recognize the term immediately.

As for my favorite/recommended yaoi and shonen ai anime I like:

Descendants of Darkness (Yami no Matsuei) - it's thirteen episodes long, and has been dubbed in english :D I honestly would recommend the japanese version, because the english voices are a bit weird.

Gravitation- I can't remember how long this one was, maybe twenty-five or so. This is another I'd recommend the japanese version for.

Manga I would recommend:

Yellow. This one is hardcore yaoi, and is only four volumes long. It deals with drugs, so be warned.

Sorry this isn't longer; those are the only official yaoi and shonen ai I like at the moment.

Oscar the Wild 09-05-2009 03:07 AM

Yami no Matsuei! I loved that series when I was twelve-thirteenish. I thought it was the greatest. I even named my stuffed cat after Hisoka.

Sho-Shonojo 09-05-2009 03:07 AM

This is my kind of place. I love Shonen-Ai, Yaoi, BL stories. The only ones I've been reading lately though have been on Smackjeeves.

When I'm referring to these stories, I use Shonen- Ai for soft core, Yaoi for hardcore, and BL just as a basic generic. It's more a term I use for American comics about gay love, like the one I'm writing. I'm not Japanese so I won't use the term for my own work, I'll call it BL.

Some favorite manga of mine are Descendants of Darkness, Loveless. Silver Diamond, After School Nightmare and... I'm sure there are more but I can't think of them.

BL comics, are like, the only things I read on Smackjeeves. XD

~AmayaxKiyomori~ 09-05-2009 03:19 AM

@ Oscar the Wild: Aww, that's adorable!

@Sho-Shonojo: is Smackjeeves a place for a bunch of different manga series, or is it just for yaoi? Nothing wrong with it being just for yaoi, but I've never heard of that site before.

Sho-Shonojo 09-05-2009 03:28 AM

It's a site where anyone can write their on comic and put it on the internet. All genre are allowed, and any range of talent is allowed. Plus, it doesn't cost anything so it's great. I've found quite a few great stories from this site.

He's in the attic, that's all I know.

As far as shonen-ai, right now I'm fond of Loveless and Kaze to ki no Uta. I haven't really read or watched anything else.

For-Chan Cookie 09-05-2009 03:51 AM

So this is a total pet peeve of mine, but I just can't talk about stuff when the wrong terms are being thrown around. Shounen Ai isn't softcore cuteness. It's an archaic term that doesn't mean that anymore. It refers to pedophilia.

Oscar the Wild 09-05-2009 03:53 AM

That's what I heard about on Wikipedia. Isn't that why Japan just uses "Boys Love" now?

AlexandraAnn 09-05-2009 03:56 AM

I'm glad this thread is here. :yes: Boy love fans unite! <3

For-Chan Cookie 09-05-2009 03:56 AM

Yeah. You know how vocabulary changes a lot. Actually, we were told at Yaoi-Con that some mangaka are insulted if you refer to them as yaoi mangaka. Because yaoi is pointless and plotless and all that. They think of themselves as BL Mangaka.
