yaoi musings

[resonant]

I've been looking at yaoi scans. I never saw so many neckties in my life. I think I can safely say that there's very little American pretty-boy art that features neckties. If I develop a fetish for neckties, I'm blaming Japan.

Yaoi has been rather a revelation to me. I used to think I wasn't much turned on by visuals. Evidently I'd been looking at the wrong visuals.

And did I ever claim that I needed my smut to have a narrative? I've spent the last three days obsessively downloading pictures of characters I've never heard of speaking a language I don't read, so I guess I was wrong about that narrative stuff.

I'm now consumed with a desire to see Ray Kowalski drawn manga-style. I think that style of art would be perfect to capture the sidelong grin and the badassedness. I'm picturing it now: Fraser's tipped-back head half obscured by Ray's tattooed shoulder. Sheets clutched in the hand with the bracelet on it. Little wedge-shaped panel of the Stetson hitting the floor.

Fraser's a big guy, so I wonder why I'm convinced that he'd be the one who ended up with the big round eyes.

You probably don't remember me (random admirer of your writings, specifically, "The Familiar")

I would just like to say: Welcome to my world...

I think you should take up Doll's offer to go watch anime in MN. Then you can join the exponentially growing number of yaoi fans, and write in yaoi fandoms. I'm not very subtle in disguising my motives I realize... (and as a random aside, I have known Doll for three years, and she's mostly harmless... or so I'm told)

Only mostly harmless? Not an axe-murderer but a spork-poker, perhaps?

(Of course I remember you, but I didn't know you were among the ranks of the LJ'ed.)
