 FanFiction
Mailing List Etiquette: Positive role models are a must in today's society where
freedom runs so rampantly out of control that any chance to enjoy luxuries like yaoi stories
could come to a halt if not dealt with very quickly. With all the fevered interest in
Gundam Wing, Fushigi Yugi, J-rock, and other forms of yaoi expression in fan fictions, it's
safe to say Aestheticism.net has clamped down on
concerns to protect both their seasoned readers and writers. With over 2000-3000
members and growing steadily, Aestheticism.net
now asks for Driver's license or some official proof of legal age, states protection against
reading very graphic stories, encourages proper behavior on the mailing lists, stresses
leaving personal issues and hot flames out of fiction topics, and hopefully believes in
strengthening the pillars of online security so members can freely engage in healthy
discussion and sharing of any sort of yaoi fan fictions.

From
Shounen to Shounen Ai to Yaoi - Tracing the Evolution: Representatives from Japan Comic
market were on hand to speak about the ultimate medium for yaoi expression in art. It
basically started out in Captain Tsubasa art furthering influences in high school baseball
and male-to-male friendships like in Saint Seiya, Samurai Troopers, and many more science
fiction / fantasy and sports-related mangas. Analogies to yaoi interests were likened
to girls playing with dolls. "Ani-Paro" were the first real doujinshis based
on comedic factor. Shounen-ai focused on pure love, nothing sexual, and solely based
on romantic connotations. Yaoi went straight to the scene, taking popular characters
and having sex. Many influential artists came from the "BeBoy" series and
have developed a renaissance of Japanese high styles in lines and shapes only imagined in
more serious Harlequinesque themes. Artists always try to challenge the editorial
borderlines and limits as presentation and shock value guarantees an audience.

Fushigi
Yugi Discussion: What's all this nonsense about Tamahome? Members got down to
basics on why this bishounen of Fushigi Yugi interest causes such a stir in the hearts of
females around the world. Does Miaka truly deserve Tamahome? Why do cosplayers
glomp Tamahome? What if Tamahome did it with... and other questions surfaced
freely in this yaoi-focused discussion.

What's
Your Kink? Discussion: Androgynous guys do turn on females, as well as ears, tails, and
other animal parts in this yaoi fan fiction discussion. It's all about adrenaline
rush, as highlights included discussion about Where is Greenwood, Sailor Moon's evil
bishounen, Gundam Wing, and risque subjects like shaving the erogenous zones, ironing
fetishes, male childbirth, and mecha sex.

Gundam
Wing Discussion: With Gundam Wing so widely known in the mainstream, it's no surprise
that it would also find a healthy home in the yaoi community as a healthy outlet for
bishounen expression and romantic interludes. Highlights included member
introductions with much applause for popular fan fiction contributions, explanations
on unfinished stories, cliffhangers getting humorous flames, smut, angst, crossovers
into other anime universes, and finally the ratios: 2x4, 6x1, 6x2, 5x13, 6x13, and
others that quite possibly defy the laws of human physiology and physical interaction.
But we'll leave that up the to imagination of the audience.
