In Topic: Debate: Yaoi/Yuuri Good or Bad?

Hm... just a thought.

All of my objections are to yaoi, not yuri. My reasons are that the yaoi has 'taken over' the fandom (what I didn't say when I gave the stats in my last post was that it was a SIGNIFICANT change from when I first looked into Naruto fanfiction -- when I started in the fandom, there were more Naruto\Sasuke fanfics, most of them heavily out of character, then there were all het fics combined. The situation has much improved). It's happened to more then one fandom I'm aware of, but... even though I've often heard the 'predominant male sexual fantasy is two women' (or some varient of that) I've never known a fandom to be taken over by YURI fanfics. Does anyone know of a such a series (with a significant enough fanbase to matter -- if there's only one fanfic and it's yuri, that doesn't count)?

Utena? I dunno. Yuri is actually a staple of the main characters if what I remember is true. Then again, it bored me to no end so I didn't watch hardly any of it so I could very well be, and most likely am, wrong.

In Topic: OCs: Are they horrible or useful?

01 August 2006 - 07:44 PM

OC's can be a bane or a blessing. When used properly, they can push the story along, add depth and create a character that a reader can identify with. On the other hand, you've got what seems to be the biggest trend for OC's. Super powered, self insertions. Alot of the time, especially in an action oriented storyline, an OC will be an all knowing character who can defeat anyone in a flash. When designing a character, remember that they're usually not gods. They have flaws and weaknesses. If they know everything that's going on, that means they're a busybody who doesn't have time for anything else so they'd be weak and probably not that well liked. Just make sure to keep them a character and not the author of the story.

Sadly. I personally steer clear of yaoi in general cuz it's not my cup of tea. I don't even like tea for that matter. I'm extremely strict in what I read and it usually goes by pairing, as shallow as that seems. If I see a NaruSaku that also has KibaAkamaru, I'll steer clear. That's a more extreme example, but you get the point. The only yaoi couple I could possibly entertain as long as it wasn't the focus would be HakuZabuza. That'd make sense.


your last comment got me. that'd make sense. do you mean if the characters were IC, and a series of events caused a yoai pairing, would you like it, or would you still avoid it. yeah, you're last comment seems to be the opinion of a lot of people. i used to steer based solely on pairings alone, but lately something's happened. i used to hate narusaku, but now i love it... i dunno, now i love all pairings. ''^^ i'm a strange person. sweatdrop.gif anyways, yeah, please reply. this is really helping.

I like to think of myself as a writer who can keep a character IC and I won't read anything with a character terribly ooc. Well, that's not true. I've stuck through a few super powered, mature naruto fics but they're like bad action movies; still enjoyable if you don't analyze it. Anyway, the Zabuza/Haku thing was an example of a yaoi pairing that would still keep the characters IC. There's plenty of others that could do that if you think about it. Chouji/Shika experimentation would be another example but that's up to an author to decide. In the end, I'm the norm. I read what I want and skip what I don't and I follow the same pattrern for writing. Hell with what anyone else says.
