Thank you for this entry ♥. I always like reading someone's opinion on 8059 doujins
I'm a little obsessed about this pairing so I have to read (or just watch) all doujins which are coming out. Unfortunately there are still so many stupid stories without any plot, concentrating only on pron (Nalis for example). I'm always disappointed seeing another doujin where Yamamoto is badass super seme raping little moe moe uke Gokudera. I don't tolerate OOCness and the worst thing is most doujinkas don't care about character's personality - only pron counts -_-
Thanks to Nalis I facepalmed and headdesked so many times. Firstly I don't like her (?) style of drawing - people are too long and slim. It doesn't look natural. Also she always draws similar faces - she uses about 5 facial expressions and nothing more. And what is surprising, she doesn't improve at all. It' strange 'cause she published so many doujins.
Secondly - the plot. Or wait.. Is there any plot anyway? You described it very well - there is sex, there is drama and bastard!Yamamoto who changed his brain for other part of the body.. I think Nalis is coming up with dramatic plot just to draw NC17 scenes. Pathetic.
Still the funniest scene drawn by her is in 'Layla' where Nalismoto (let's call him like that, I don't think it's Yamamoto who we all know and love) is fingering Nalisdera in the middle of the street. I think I died a little inside when I've read it.
Ok it was all about shitty circles, let's talk about good ones.
I usually look for doujins without pron. Ok, I like pron but I'm tired of seeing it everywhere. That's why I decided to buy Ciel's 'Endless Rain'. I hope you've seen it somewhere (RAW was posted on LJ but I don't remember where anymore) because there are the most beautiful drawings I've ver seen in 8059 doujins. The story is a little angsty - I can't speak Japanese but it's about Gokudera's mother, her death and so on. I hope it'll be translated soon 'cause it deserves it.
I also found cute story by Break Mission in one anthology posted on KHR community (in second part). I liked drawings and plot (ok, I don't understand what's going on but Yamamoto doesn't try to rape Gokudera in the middle of the street, right? xd).
Firstly I wasn't expecting I'll like Middle Rage (lol pron). But I noticed that characters are very IC and dorky. I have to admit MR's doujins are sexy and funny - we need more of them!
Froggy froggy - I saw her ' Arashiame' and 'Serenata'. Maybe Yamamoto and Gokudera are too happy and dorky, but hey! They're adorable and they don't have to angst all the time. In Froggy Froggy's doujins there is something which make me melt inside. I'm lovin' it

Ok long comment is long. Now some randoms:

- http://i729.photobucket.com/albums/ww296/Lampazo_libre/04.jpg Which MR's doujin is it? I can't remember.. orz
-'Zookeeper' by Uoahsaoh - where did you download it from?
-Story with rabbits was so silly that I liked it. But I'd like to know more about owners of these horny animals xd
-fact that Gokudera doesn't blush in AG doujin - I like it too. Gookudera isn't the person who blushes every time he sees Yamamoto (sometimes but not always). He can be flushed from kissing and sex but I don't like when fandom shows him as total uke. Also he isn't weak. For example in Nalis doujins Yamamoto rapes him and Gokudera can't or rather DOESN'T do anything. Some people sometimes forget Gokudera isn't a girl : /
-last picture is... oh my god, today I'll have nightmares. I saw it earlier but I was scared to look at it longer than 1 second
-WRITE SHIP MANIFESTO PLEASE.

ok I overdid it. I hope you won't fall asleep during reading. also sorry for my shitty English -_-
and once again thanks for your entry

I love you so much right now <3
This is an awesome, awesome comment. Really.
I understand your emotions.
I’m going to paste a part of comment that I’ve written already, if you don’t mind.
Actually, I can't speak about myself neither as strictly 8059 nor 5980 supporter.
I think that in every relationship it goes both ways, depending on time and situation, and you can't tell about someone being completely uke or seme at all. And when it comes to sex, well, both 5980 and 8059 have their delicious kinky perks.
I honestly think that both variations are passable - the main point is that they should remain themselves.
So breaking(stretching I can tolerate) their personalities is not an option.
It may have something to do with the fact that 8059 are my first yaoi OTP. It's not that I defied it as a concept, I just wasn't interested in offered yaoi couples in my previous fandoms. You know how it works - you acknowledge a pairing, but it's simply not your piece of cake. I must feel chemistry to get in. With yamagoku, it sparked, and I was done for.
And now, develop that thought.
When I firstly encountered the fandom, it was new to me - even if I had a rather big experience with OTPs, yaoi one was an entirely new thing. I approached fanfiction with great caution and with zeal, but, actually, it rather mesmerized me than freaked out. 8059’s fanfiction fanbase is a living miracle for me. I haven’t seen such astonishing works - and a whole lot of them - with any of my previous het favorites.
Eventually, I moved to djs - actually, rather accidentally, and was shocked at their quantity and, half the time, quality.
But yes, some of them made me go all WTF. I’m rather flexible to plots, but some of them are really shitty. And OOC-ness - it makes you nearly vomit into your mouth a little. Yak.
Porn, as you could probably see already, for me is not necessary, but desired when available. I just don’t mix it with story - plot to the left, smut to the right, and move on about it. But the fact is that I can’t do this when porn is OOC, and THAT is a problem.
So, I totally see your point.
Hahaha, I love “Nalismoto” and “Nalisdera”, may I steal them for further use? ))))
I’m currently downloading the anthology and will pay extra attention to the story you’re talking about.
Middle Range have my most clear, ultimate love and devotion. I’m without exceptions gonna support any story Yuki-sensei is going to present us.
The Froggy Froggy’s circle story, unfortunately, I wasn’t able to check out, because 8059dj isn’t in my friends list((( I’ve commented to be added and friended it by myself, but they don’t add me in return. So, I suck ^ ^
Now, answers:
-The page: Hell if I know)))) I’ve downloaded it from hanashiki’s journal a while ago, it was four pages long and looked like a part of dj for me. And for the life of me I don’t get the meaning of what they are saying there.
-“Zookeeper”. Once again, hanashiki’s journal. I was in her friends list for a week, and then got deleted because of cleaning spree. Apparently, I suck a lot with people’s flists.
-Yes, he surely blushes a lot in every dj, so every time they give us confident!Gokudera (confident! not desperate!) I transform into a puddle on the floor.
-Last picture is… shit, it’s terrifying. And whole doujin is like that.
-You know, maybe I will. Write ship manifesto, I mean. I don’t promise and even if I will it won’t be earlier that in couple of months, but it certainly strikes my interest.
And no, you didn’t overdo this. I made such an entry accurately because I wanted to hold such a dialog.
P.S. There’s nothing bad with your English. I’m Russian myself ^ ^

Personally I prefer 8059 over 5980. Somehow I can't imagine Gokudera being seme. Although he has strong personality, he hides the fact he still misses his mother and wants somebody who can take care of him. Because he's alone and sometimes does stupid things he needs someone like Yamamoto to stop him from self destruction. For me even if Hayato is seme in life, Takeshi is seme in bed. Lame excuse is lame xd

When it comes to fanfics, doujinshi etc I think there are hella lot of them 'cause it's YAOI. I've never been interested in any het pairing to look for fics with it but I think it's a little difficult when 80% of fandom are crazy yaoi fangirls. 8059 is also one of the most popular pairings in KHR (8059, 5927, D18) so that's why people are writing so many stories with them. I'm surprised that most of fics with YamaGoku are written at least well and there are so many masterpieces among them. I considered doing entry with recommendations but.. reading again those 300 or more fics will be tiresome.. Still my fav one is crack about Gokudera eating cold pizza and watching sumo on tv. Sorry if you've already read it -_-
Sometimes I wonder why all those doujinkas can't ask any writer to make good script for them. If Nalis did it her doujins would be much more interesting (even with her lame pron and characters looking like columns).

If 8059dj won't add you in the nearest time I can upload froggy's 'arashiame' on mediafire or sth. Do you have 'Serenata' or should I upload it too? I don't know where I found it.. I suck (lol we both suck, should we establish a club? xd)

Good luck with ship manifesto, I believe in you! xd I think there are two (or one?) 8059 manifestos already but they are not so good. One of them is gettig more and more interesting.. and suddenly the author starts babbling about YamaGoku being 'oh so canon'. It's pissing me off that most of fans when you ask them why they like 8059 answer 'because it's canon'. It's not. They just have a lot of hints and there is a chemistry between them.
But still it's a really nice dream about them ending up together.. which will never happen
Anyway I think you can do it if you've already written rant about doujins xd I know it will be difficult but your comments are always so detailed and you concentrate on characters' personality (and not them being canon) so I'm sure you will be able to write manifesto.

another long comment with abused English. I feel I got a little off topic (we talked about doujinshi in the first place orz), sorry xd

Your comments are lovely!
I think Gokudera could be seme even in bed, because you can actually do it even with dick up your ass ;) I'm going to prove it with fanfiction sooner or later(I hope, sooner)
You have a point here, and I'm aware that the pairing fandom is so glorious for these reasons, but it doesn't stop it from being so awesome)))
I haven't read the fic, going to do it later, THANKS!
I'm still going to wait a little if 8059dj will add me, and if it doesn't, I'll ask you))) I'm not sure if I can upload Zookeper for you, but I'll ask Hanashiki and let's hope she won't mind!
You know, I'm slowly going into direction of ship manifesto alright. I've already thought out the raw concept, yes, along the lines of "It's not canon but it's as close as it could be, hints hints,hints", with character studies and stuff. Don't bring your hopes up yet, but I think I'll do it. Of course, there's a lot of work, but maybe I will be able to pull that off.
And, I repeat, your offtopics are just great!

somehow comment about seme!Gokudera made me laugh my ass off. Now I'm laughing even better than Yamamoto xd
I'm waiting for your fic. I don't think you convince me to change my mind on switching in pairings but anyway I'm going to read it

And this is probably the end of our great offtop. I hope there will be more in future
