Everything is yaoi....

It's true. Everything is yaoi. And if it isn't, you can make it so. I have made yaoi out of just about everything. So, let me tell you about that thing I promised before. Treasure island yaoi. It is one of those stories that I started when I was a kid, and since then it has gone through a hell of an evolution. It all started when I was 10 and our fourth grade teacher said we had to read at least one book per month. Well, I though, I read one book per day, so... MOM, I NEED A CHALLENGE! She dumped Treasure Island in my lap. How that was a challenge, I don't know. Maybe because I didn't really like pirates back then.

Anywho, I read it, and little girl feminism kicked in, just like with Lord of the Rings. I immediately decided to split the main role between Jim Hawkins and a girl. The girl was Jim's sister, runaway girl, I don't know if she ever got a girls name. But off she was, and she came to Bristol and was found by Alexander Smollett. He thought she was a boy and he took her in. She said she didn't remember her name, so he gave her the name Ismael. Ismael is a name I fell in love with after having seen Fanny och Alexander, mainly because that Ismael was really cool and a bit scary.

Little girl Ismael didn't survive very long. She turned into little boy Ismael. The boy Ismael didn't take long to detach himself from the source material, made clones for himself and sometimes changes his name. One of him stayed in the Treasure island world, grew up, got hitched to a woman and got himself a boyfriend, named Horatio Hornblower. Sound Familiar? It's another book (series) about a sailor in the 18th century. One of the Ismael clones moved to France and joined the musketeers (this has several stories, one in an alternate future where France is ruled by king Louis XXVI), one changed his name to Isaac and moved to 21st century London, another also changed his name to Isaac, but misspelled it Isacc, he is for now sitting rather still in a boat somewhere in the space-time continuum. Isacc has once met the original Ismael, buut.... i don't know. I promise to one day post some of those stories.

Just to give you a hint of what else I'm writing about, here's a little summary of 5 people/couples:

Zidane Karone + Charles "Kuja" Shunte: Zidane is the riches-to-rags-to-riches guy who ran away from home when he was 12. Kuja is the guy from the suburbs that ended up on the streets when his parents died. Apparently, foster care didn't exist in this universe. These two hasn't changed much since i started writing about them when I was, maybe, 12. Their names has changed, I think Kuja was actually "Charlie" in the beginning. Then came Final Fantasy IX. Name stealing 200%. After that I made a gag out of the name Charles. Zidane's father's name became Carlo, his mothers brother Carlos, and his and Kuja's oldest son Charlie. So Zidane use to say he's surrounded by Charlie's. Once upon a time, to solve the "how to have kids" dilemma, Zidane and Kuja actually had wives. But then i went all sci-fi on them. Anywho, a little slice of life story that seem to be never-ending.

Alexander Gabriels: This young lad lives in 10'000 AD, in a society with no culture. Or, at least no fun kind. All movies are educational, there is music, but there are no words. Not no singing, but the singing is gibberish without meaning. But they have games, like World of Warcraft and the likes. Alex is an avid player, he even have a neural input, allowing him to immerse himself completely in the games. Coming from a broken home, he moved to his aunt and uncle when he was 10, his cousin is as close to him as any brother. His cousin Nathan recruits him into his band, (not dissimilar to boy bands of today), Alex spirals almost out of control, but is more or less rescued by his then-on boyfriend Kevin. Alex's net skills lead him to THE LIBRARY, containing all movies, music and books from our time.

Uron Raccall: My very own Jedi Master. Kidnapping the Star Wars Universe entirely, Uron Raccall wasn't just my Revan in the game Knights of the Old Republic, buuuut he also united the Old Republic before is was a republic, single-handed started the Jedi Order and stopped Anakin from going all rogue. Yes, this Jedi Master is old as the stars. He's a bit of a mystery, even to me. When he's not keeping a shroud of mystery around himself he says he is the Force itself, and most people who has met him is rather unsure as to where his allegiance lie.

Kana + Sora + Aito: One of my three threesomes. These guys hail from a post-apocalyptic Japan, ruled by the Eastboard Alliance and their alien allies. Kana, the oldest of them, saw the fall of the world 400 years ago, when the aliens attacked. He is a vampire, and he is the Dragon of the Void, a leader of the resistance. The other four dragons don't know he is a vampire. Kana had been a vampire for 200 years when he fell in love with Sora, who was fatally ill. Turning him was, in Kana's opinion, the best thing Kana ever did. It was Sora who made them a threesome. 200 years after his becoming a vampire, he fell in love with Aito and Kana didn't disapprove. Now they're fighting together.

Kato + Sora: My favourite gender-bender. I totally nicked this idea from the Yaoi manga Sex Pistols. (Some releases of this in the west is called Love Pistols, as to not confuse it with the band of the same name.) Kato and Sora are descendants of dragons in a shadow society. The call normal humans Monkeys, three guesses why, while they, and all others who are not evolved from the human/ape ancestor, madararui. I still don't really got the hang of what that means, but the important thing is they are not really human. The Madararui have means to make the males pregnant just as the females, and most of their marriages are arranged as there are rather few of them. Getting to fall in love and be with the one you love is rare. But Kato and Sora are lucky. They found each other and were allowed to marry. And now.... Kato is pregnant. Sora's childhood friend Ichiro and his husband Toya are also pregnant after having lost their first child.

I don't know how much that said about anything, other than, yes, i like yaoi. I'll write more about my 100+ stories, in due time. Tomorrow is Monday.......

What am I doing.....?

Blog, blog, blog.... everybody blogs nowadays. In fact, it seems to me everybody blogs, and everyone who doesn't doesn't really exist at all, they are all just some kind of periferal entities with lives of their own.... Everyone know that people who reads and writes blogs have no life, if hey did, they would be out living it, not write blogs all the time. So, yeah, I'm a nerd without a life. I know.

I was cleaning in my bedroom the other day, and when I did I realized I have a LOT of notebooks and stuff... i think i counted 35 of them just lying around on various surfaces, including the floor. With an avarege of 3 stories in each notebook that right there are 105 yaoi stories. And that's not counting the four nothebooks by my bed, one of them with scraps of 22 different stories, or the computer, with an additional 20 stories. Plus a couple that are way to X-rated to put on paper, that are, at least for now, only for my own enjoyment in my own head.

Being fair and all, most of them are fan-fiction. I'm a huge gaming nerd, I admitt. So a lot of my own written yaoi is often based on games I love. A few are on other books, yaoi or otherwise, and maybe a handful is based on movies. The number of characters and stories I've written entierly by myself could probably be counted of one hand.

Ok, ok, so what is yaoi? That's the question I always get when ranting on my favourite topic. Well, the answer to that is as simple as it is complex. The americanized way to say it is BL, or Boy's Love. To me that sounds kinda cheesy, so I prefer yaoi. It is stories where men are in love, and generaly, for meeting the "yaoi criteria", have sex. So, gay stories. The female equivalent is yuri. I don't really know if yuri is acctually calles "girls love", but then, I don't really care. Simple, right? But wait, I said it was complex, didn't I? Yeah, well, the hard part, really, is where to draw the line between Yaoi and Shounen-ai. Shounen-ai, I would say, is more innocent teenage boy's falling in love for the first time, or so. Shounen-ai generally have no sex in it, and my own personal shounen-ai/yaoi line is when they start doing more than holding hands. Some would say kissing is the golden line, some would say full-blown sex. I'm a bit ambivalent, is kissing sex? Or a hand-job, or blow-job? To each his own.

Funny thing, Onee-chan often calls manga and anime yaoi and live action movies BL. I don't know if she is aware of that, but it's something I've observed about her.


So, this blog is not JUST about yaoi. But mostly. There will probably be some rants about animé or movies or books or Swedish society, or games, or,... well everything that goes on in a person's life, i guess. Like next week i will probably be ranting about my ototo and how ungrateful he is on his birthday, and the week after that, maybe  a little about okaa-san, and how I miss her, being dead and all.... But, mostly yaoi....


And no.... Loveless is NOT SHOTA!
