A project with three parts, the first being an objective third person, the second being one of the characters involved and the third being more of an introspection. Warning: Slash
Slash is a cover-all term for gay relationships in a lot of cases. I would label it june if anybody knew what that meant, and I'm also not a manga-ka. Slash is a word that describes it best.
I think it really depends. Originally, slash just meant a non-canon relationship but it's become synonymous with gay relationships no matter what because there is a lot that's not quite "gay fiction" in slash because it's generally written by women unwilling to break the stereotypes of girly boys... I'll admit that they're my drug and... This should probably go into a rant on my private journal instead of spam.
...actually, the term "slash" originally came from the slash dividing the two names, because people always said things like "Kirk-slash-Spock" or "Bashir-slash-Worf" (ew?), and the "slash" part just became a title. (Yes, my geek-fu is showing.)
Nice to see someone else who knows what "june" is, by the way. Kind of getting sick of "yaoi" being misapplied.
...okay, I'm getting sick of tons of thirteen-year-old girls writing what they think is hot erotic gay fiction and then expecting real gay men like me to live up to their weird fictional expectations, but that's neither here nor there...That said, I skimmed the opening of your piece, and couldn't get far. It's got promise, but I think you need to read through it again and watch for issues of sentence structure and word usage. There seem to be several areas where you use one word when it seems you meant to use another, and even more areas that mix quite a few pretty words without actually making much sense. You're crafting a lot of vague imagery, but not really creating a story

Thank you very much ^^. I've always had a problem with starting a thought and forgetting where it was going, so I'll definitely go back and look at that. And I was once told that I have very creative sentence structure. I don't think it was a compliment...
On the original discussion thingy deal:
And I knew the whole Kirk/Spock thing, but I forget that all the internet isn't a slasher, so they wouldn't know the whole thing.
The fact that I know what june is probably elevates me to insane levels of slasher geekhood...
Besides, everybody knows that real gay men are a thousand times more fun than their stereotypes.
The only reason that I know what june is is because Japanese is my native language. Which is why, at times, I start frothing at the mouth when people misuse it.
Most gay men are a thousand times more fun than their stereotypes. Me? I'm dull as dirt. I'm hoping you repost the edits on this later, though, because while I do admit to feeling a hint of bias towards a gay male story written by a woman (that's if I'm not making too many assumptions here), I'm intrigued enough to throw the bias out the window.
I probably do it horribly. My men tend to be girly boys because that's what interests me and a lot of the slash subculture. They're usually over-dramatic, emotional, effeminate. I admit that they're my flaws, but I feel like a bad romance writer. If there's a niche for it and I enjoy it, I'll perfect my skills to make it enjoyable to the market and to myself.
