Oh, I like that! :blob_aww: Whaaat? Just tell us your thoughts! We're open for everything, I swear! :blob_no:

I was actually raised like that. Always had a guilty conscience when I didn't do my homework :blob_no: I was, however, always chatting in class as well so nobody can say they're surprised if I derail 98% of threads :blob_sweat:

:blob_hug: So, so many people! Welcome ~ :blob_melt:

We also love cliches, I wouldn't worry about that :blob_melt:

Even if you don't write, you do read it, right? So you're welcome in any case ~

We could work on trying to make it the least-hated genre by drawing more BL people over and spreading BL everywhere :blob_aww:

That's a good idea! I have to admit that I don't frequent NUF nearly as frequently as SHF so I only see the threads over there once in a while when I accidentally stumble over them on the main page. But I guess I'll have to keep my eyes open from now on :blob_melt:

I knew we had quite a few novels. I was just surprised we had so many people as well. I actually thought the ratio of novels per person was higher :blob_sweat:

So many people :blob_blank: I didn't even know there were so many of us on here ... As for your questions: I've answered #1 elsewhere already but yay! Let's go for awesome BL events! :blob_aww: Now, my BL history ... I actually have no idea when I came across the first BL (likely in the...

Personally, I would also prefer gay and lesbian romance but ... I guess a poll would be nice? :blob_blank:

I guess I'll give this a try then. Maybe I'll accidentally find out I actually have readers :blobrofl: Uh ... I don't think so. I think we've been busy discussing what we actually think about this issue for the past days/weeks.

To jump back in on this part of the discussion: I agree that renaming the two genres would likely take care of the problems people have addressed so far. Also, one thing I thought about: Both authors and readers that come and those who don't come from NU or the more eastern side would definitely...

I do use it but I don't accept every suggestion it makes. I usually just check for the actual 'wrong' stuff to find typos or fucked-up grammar and leave the other parts for a later revision.

True. I just checked and there are only three pages of completed stuff :blob_pout: At least I thought we did :blob_sweat: At the very least, I do recognize you as 'I have seen this person around' and can even pinpoint places. That's already pretty good for me :blobrofl: Uh! That actually...

Personally, I felt like I walked head-on into a hornet's nest with that take :blob_sweat: I guess I do have to admit to being a bit radical in some things ... I mean I already said it when we personally talked about this before but I guess I should just reiterate it here: I'd be all up for...

I noticed that as well! I also saw it mentioned in novels and I think some articles (not sure on those too) that if an actress plays villainous characters too often, people will somehow make that into her image and she'll be doomed? :blob_blank: Do you know if that's true?

Thank you very much for this! I genuinely want to try out these sponges now :blob_sweat: Absolutely. It's especially bad when thinking of how some of the more ... cliché novels I wrote get more traffic than the ones who actively diverge from them. I mean, you know some of my numbers and have...

I'm actually really happy that you're saying this. As I mentioned, I was already thinking about this issue several weeks ago. Looking at it from different perspectives really helped but hearing some confirmation from outside that this is something other people are also looking for and would...

It's alright. I've seen you around the forums a lot already, I love seeing the points you make and as I said, I don't want to say that you weren't right with what you said here at all. I was just seeing that you were being a bit upset and things seemed to be getting heated so I just wanted to...

Yes, that's how I understand it as well. Honestly, I would be happy with just having it as a tag but then again, the genre labels are clearly visible already when you filter for stories. So it would be nice to make the LGBT+ one available there so it can jump out at readers. So this isn't just...
