Would you be willing to read/watch any of the above BL? Which ones would you most like to read/watch? Because of the amount of time I've been writing and roleplaying, I've ended up creating all sorts of strange couples~! And sometimes I get the taste for looking around for more content along those lines. Although it's also rare, I also think I get the attitude of "who would be interested in that!?" a lot. So, out of curiosity, here are some randomly picked examples to test the fandom's interest in "unconventional" BL~! (Edit: Done... It's more hastily put together than I wanted, but I mistakenly thought that the "enter" button would create a new poll option and drop me down to write in it. It turns out that it posts the whole thread...)
Hmm I've never read something like that before so I'm not sure if I'll like it or not but I'll at least give it a try.
I might be willing to read it because I’ve gone through most of the BL novels on NU. But for me to stick with it, the first chapter would REALLYYYY have to hook me because neither of those options are really to my taste. I mostly prefer power couples where both parties are powerful men (i.e. the Earth is Online). I haven’t liked novels where the shou was very feminine. Therefore, I don’t know if I’d be interested in a novel where one or both of the parties isn’t originally a man. But again, I’d be willing to TRY it, but it would have to be absolutely amazing for me to stick with it.
Updated with more options now. The thread posted before I was anywhere near done. Because I'm a BL fan too~!
Still not sure if I’d read most of them. I could see myself reading one where they are both bisexual because I’ve read many where one of the parties was originally straight and then was “bent” by the other party. Also, I don’t know if I’m just lacking in common knowledge but what is an eldritch abomination?
https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/EldritchAbomination In this case, I'm using it to refer to a whole host of strange creatures... Basically beings that don't think or act like humans, in varying degrees of the meaning.
Smh Ohh when I read your previous edit, I thought that was final version xD I'm more into options 3,4,5
I voted for everything. I have read and would read all of these. I enjoy everything except straight romance lmao.
I'm not super into BL, but out of those, the ones I think I'd like the most would be the ones with no uke/seme dynamic and the ones with both partners being bisexual. Don't think I'd give a shot to any of the others because... Well, I don't read much BL in the first place, so I'd avoid the things that I'm not very interested in in the first place.
Wow, I can't believe I've read at least one work from all of these aside from the second option. Not a fan of genderbender so that's the only thing i'm not sure of both in manga and novels although I think I'll try to read one if the premise is interesting enough. The eldritch abomination I'm also not that sure but it kinda reminded me of this one manga with studentxteacher setting with the student being other, demon-like but not quite, and his appearance is one of the more grotesque ones I've seen with non-human lead characters and there's a distortion in reality whenever his real form appears. I'm not good with remembering titles though and for the life of me, I couldn't even remember if I finished reading it as it was ongoing at the time I first saw it. I'm pretty willing to read just about everything, even harem and reverse harem works even though I dislike those a lot. I admit there a gems from these categories but they are very few and far between.
BL WHERE BOTH ARE GENDERBENT WOMEN!!! And BL where both are openly bisexual! I just find bi guys so sexy!
I wouldn’t read BL with two gender bent women because then it would be GL. I would read GL about two gender bent women. I would read the hell out of that.
