    Girls Love tags used in novels with male romance

    ??? No, never. That's a psychological horror with no romantic elements. She's obsessed with the "woman" in the wallpaper only because she's driving her crazy. "Mrs Dalloway" also doesn't count as f/f fiction to people, despite its romantic subplot. No, because that would require making a less...

    Girls Love tags used in novels with male romance

    If the novel covers the entirety of that, that would be "Girls Love subplot" under the current system.

    Girls Love tags used in novels with male romance

    It's hard to be LGBT+ anywhere. Most LGBT+ fiction hyperfocuses on the struggle, though, so having GL as a place where romance is the focus instead is nice. There are GL that have explorations of sexuality, but they work by clearly pitching the f/f relationship as THE romance. The story...

    Girls Love tags used in novels with male romance

    As long as they do like men as well, they would be actual bisexual protagonists, though. You don't stop being bisexual just because you aren't dating multiple genders at once. By that logic, you'd become asexual as soon as you're single. There are also plenty of ways to incorporate a...

    Girls Love tags used in novels with male romance

    Even at that, that would be given the "Girls Love subplot" tag, not the Girls Love genre mark. (Also, I've said this many times, but you can have a bisexual protagonist without them having multiple relationships or love interests. Many published f/f fictions do.)

    What kind of music do you guys listen to (If you do) to get you writing?

    I usually build a specialised playlist in the run-up to writing a story. I try to fill it with songs that match the general mood of the story, ones that will match with the tone of specific scenes, ones that can represent characters and their motivations... It usually ends up as quite an...

    Yup~! Rin was a little orphan whose paents were killed by bandits, so she was afraid of humans. She tried to help Sesshomaru when he was hurt after his battle with Inuyasha, and she died alongside the village she was staying in when it was attacked by wolf demons. He used his sword to bring her...

    Recommendations Unconventional BL

    Sorry, but I only want recommendations for BL that are here on Scribble Hub. (The earlier AO3 link being my one exception, since I've been searching for trans BL for way too long.) I kind of knew that people would throw links to translated novels here but, since I'd go to NUF if I wanted those...

    Recommendations Unconventional BL

    I mean... I would expect a fan to be able to talk about those differences in order to express those good points to others. That's why people ask for recommendations in the first place, right? It's not about categorising, it's about describing and sharing information about novels that might not...

    Ooh, they do sound good~! I'll give the last one a miss, though, because it sounds like it wants to break my heart. Tragedy and I don't get along (unless I'm the one writing it). I mean that it doesn't seem to offer too much out of the ordinary. It looks like it will be a cute and fluffy...

    :blob_aww: Many thanks for the link~! My reading list has expanded far more than I could ever have hoped. As for the tagging system... I really don't get it. I went back not long ago to find Promare fanfiction, but I tend to either end up with way more than I could possibly want or else way...

    Recommendations Unconventional BL

    Can I ask some questions about this? Do you have any particular recommendations from this collection? There are quite a number of entries. I've been kind of on the fence about this one. On one hand, it's by an author that I trust to be good but, on the other hand, the synopsis sounds a...

    I've played some in the past. It's pretty fun, but it's not the same sort of in-depth story as I get with the games my friend and I play. Hilarious when your wizard accidentally kills your ally with friendly-fire, though. Bloody wizards.

    Recommendations Unconventional BL

    I play roleplaying games with my friend, which basically work out as turn-based collaborative writing. Since we decide everything about them, from the setting to the minute decisions by the characters, I'm never really without my ideal story type. (Until my friend doesn't feel like playing a...

    Recommendations Unconventional BL

    I have been reading BL for a very, very long time (possibly since before I was 10...) and I've become honestly bored out of my skull of the usually very samesy tropes and relationship dynamics used by the genre. I've had enough of having a seme and uke just because "that's how it's done", I've...

    I was just going to plonk it on a thread in the forum, actually. It can be there as a reference guide even if he decides not to, and the community can put it to the test first too.

    I'm doing my best to tidy them into neutral categories like "protagonist tags", "relationship tags", etc. Some of them can turn up in multiple categories, so it should be fine. My main goal is to make it so that people can work their way down the list of categories and pick up what they need to...

    No, but thank you~! Excel filters have done the bulk of the work for me, so now it will just be down to time, patience and managing the categories.
