Woops. Forget to make a post on the update blog regarding the extensions I removed earlier. :furious: It's been done now.

Awards / Oops! Wrong size.
« on: November 29, 2005, 09:00:28 PM »
It's currently for a pending form, but I suspect it didn't get through due to the blacklisting. >:) Hopefully, once this whole mess is sorted out, I'll re-send you a form if needed.

I accidently specified the wrong size in my award form ( audreyx @ gmail.com). XD I meant to select the small 200x50 size. (Shounen)

Sorry for the trouble!  >:)

General / Question about the yaoi/shoune-ai genre listings
« on: November 09, 2005, 12:06:20 AM »
What I've seen when I visited Japan, was that everything guyxguy related was deemed BL by fans. Even on the manga there, you can find BL stickers on the "lightest" comics. I believe in modern day Japan, they are only accustomed to the term Boys Love. ^^;;; So, I think the point I'm trying to bring across is that Boys Love IS shounen-ai and yaoi combined, so having another fanlisting just on BL would be redundant. Though, if you really wish, you may send in a BL fanlisting application and I will talk it over with other staffers. :(

*never knew that talking to a Japanese girl in a doujinshi shop would be so useful* XD


Edit: I think what needs to be said has been said, so I'll close this post now. If you find the need to speak to me directly, you can send an e-mail through the contact form.   :ph34r:

Ah, I don't think I would approve a BL fanlisting because the topic  overlaps too much with Shounen-ai and Yaoi.  :ph34r:

General / Question about the yaoi/shoune-ai genre listings
« on: November 08, 2005, 09:45:46 PM »
Well, this is my take on the issue. Technically, yes, Shounen-ai is an obsolete term when it comes down to following Japanese culture. So it would  seem best to just direct a BL fanlisting as encompassing both the western terms of “Shounen-ai” and “Yaoi.” There is one fault I see to this. I know TAFL tries to follow anime/manga and other related subjects as closely as possible to Japanese standards, but when it comes to such widely popular fanlistings such as “Shounen-ai,” we have to also think about the fans. Most of the internet-going fanbase follows western terms of “Shounen-ai” and “Yaoi.” From what I’ve seen, a lot of the yaoi/shounen-ai fans I have happened across know nothing of the terms “June” or even “BL.” Personally, I feel we should leave the subjects as they are since these western terms are what appeal best to majority of fans across the ‘net.  Also, I believe separate fanlistings distinguishing these two subjects are needed since not every boyxboy fan enjoys pr0n as we may believe.

Hopefully this makes sense? ^^;;

Eh. ^^;;; Meroko, I'm not trying to be mean or anything but don't you think you're creating too many Layout Marathons?

This is really interesting, but do you think you could make it happen a lot earlier? I'd love to participate with a J-Rock layout but I'm not even sure where I'll be in January of next year.  :/  I don't think it's a problem to overlap with other marathons at all, because no one is participating in every single one of them (and with fandom specific marathons you always cut out a lot of people - like, July and August have a dozen overlapping marathons, which is why people started pushing off the next marathons, but I, in example, can only participate in one of the current ones because I don't even know the other fandoms). Plus, there is always site skinning, or alternative sites if you leave the marathon not domain-specific (I could participate with domain, blog, collective, etc, in different marathons at the same time).

So yes, very interesting, but could it please still happen sometime this year?  ;)

Nevermind. :D I'll do it in September. The thread should be up tommorow-ish, or even today.

So...
