Off-topic: Research project

So as the title of the post indicates, this has little to do with bb_shousetsu except that it is probably (I hope!) relevant to people who read/write for bb_s

Queer, but not a lesbian. :( This sounds like fun research, good luck!

Just curious: how are you defining 'yaoi'?

And by 'lesbian' do you mean a woman who's attracted to other women, or a woman who's attracted only to other women?

[saturnoolaa]

I'm defining "yaoi" as either manga, anime, (Japanese) video games, ect. which feature male characters in romantic/sexual relationships, or reading into Japanese-source works which don't.

By lesbian, I mean someone who indentifies as a woman and is pretty much only attracted to women. It doesn't have to be a 100% percent thing, but a lot of what I'm interested in is people who aren't attracted to men in their daily lives being into representations of men's sexuality in art/fiction.

Well, this fits me to a T. I'm 28, Lesbian, Love/Write Yaoi, and have studied Feminist Literature. I'd be happy to help you if I can.

Lessie yaoi fan here! Let me know when/where you need this, I am so in.

I'd be willing to help out if you count bisexuals with a higher prefer for women. Sadly I no longer qualify as fully lesbian thanks to the boyfriend. ^_^'
