Finally Hiei gets some attention from her onee-chan.

I really like these romantic slice-of-adult-life stories.

@leann123:

Did your other thread about bisexual stories with happy yuri endings get deleted? I can't find it anywhere, including in your post history.

Yeah, I accidentally deleted it. I went to hit the edit button and instead hit the delete button. Computer was lagging like crazy that day so the screen froze and I guess I hit okay instead. XD

Why?

'cause I had a link to post there (assuming that it hadn't been posted already).

Why is "BuCap" the ship name for these two?

So is this het or yuri

Read it and find out!

Nothing concrete yet, but as I posted before in the thread, the anime's director tweeted awhile back that the series wasn't over yet. So, I'm hoping we'll see a second season eventually. Fingers crossed!

Gotcha. Well I am counting on you remaining plugged-in and up-to-date on these things on my behalf. ^_^

Oh, and the newest Saejima & Ichiha story was real cute. You really love them aren't you? There's a lot of effort and care put on your stories. Great work!

Well, I mean...

Yeah, I dig the characters, but they're only on the screen for, what, 90 seconds? They're basically blank slates. I'm just making shit up as I go.

Still, I'm having fun with 'em, and I'm glad you are too.

oops my brain died while uploading

That should take care of the problem. If you're still having issues, try turning him off and back on again.

LIVE, DAMN YOU! LIVE!

I'll go against the grain and say that I kinda dig the idea of "practicing" with a friend who means enough to you to be your friend, but isn't actually the one you love.

It's one of those things I like to fantasize about, but wouldn't ever actually do in real life.

Kinda like how my ex-wife felt about BDSM...

The muse was upon me tonight. Put up another short (very short) doujin script. It's BDSM comedy, so read at least until you get to the bits that look like they're intended to be humorous.

Hey DT, do you know of any future plans to make more Valkyrie Drive anime? Maybe based on the Bikkhunin (or however you spell that) game? I don't have a PS Vita, so my ability to interact with Valkyrie Drive is limited to the anime.

Hmm are they naked under the covers?

Signs point to "Yes".

back looks a little bit too cricked

Paging Rob Liefeld to the white courtesy phone...

That Kind of Book

Yep. Romance novels are far and away the largest selling genre of fiction in the US. It's not even close. And publishers like Harlequin and Zebra (which is probably a Harleqin imprint for all I know) have that shit down to an exact science. They know what their audience wants, and that's what they provide. Month in, month out, like clockwork.

Here's some trivia that is kinda sorta related to the topic, which you may find of some amusement.

So you know the traditional Harlequin romance novels, right? Especially the historical ones? Those things are formulaic as fuck.

This isn't a slam or an opinion. You can actually write the publisher of those romances and they will send you a document detailing the criteria which your submissions MUST follow if you want to submit a manuscript for consideration to be published as a romance novel. And they are VERY particular. Stuff like the heroine must be between 18-22 years of age, the hero has to be older but no more than 10 years older, the heroine must be fiesty and free-spirited, etc etc.

Of partial relevance to this thread is the requirement that:

-Any sidekicks of either the hero or the heroine must be unmistakably NOT a rival for the hero's/heroine's affections. That is, if the heroine has a female sidekick, there cannot be ANYTHING in the story which might lead the reader to suspect that she's making a play for the hero, or that the hero might have feelings for the sidekick. Similar remarks apply for any male sidekicks the hero may have.

-Any character who IS an obvious romantic rival for the hero/heroine must very clearly and unambiguously be a bad guy/gal.

Always thought that was interesting.

Thanks for the kind words!

Rin at the plate.

Hanayo on deck.

Maki in the hole.

It occurs to me that the second LOVE/DEATH pair (the two delinquent girls, not the two hyper-violent yandere girls) both have light hair. I couldn't find a color picture, so it's likely that Aika has light brown hair instead of blonde. But it's at least an honorable mention.

Couple of questions based on sheer idle curiosity and for no other reason:

1. Are there any yuri stories of blonde tomboys dating dark-haired girly girls?

2. Are there any yuri stories featuring blonde x blonde pairings? (I feel like there's a lot of this in fanfic, e.g. Touhou Project, but nothing comes to mind beyond that.)

I'd love to see it. Got a link?

Mamori's gonna turn into a sword if they keep that up.

Also, I posted another Saejima x Ichiha commission, if you haven't already seen it. Since you seem to be the only person who gives a shit, I figured I'd at least mention it. ^_^;

Just read this one, and it fits the bill.

A Bewildering Flower

It's all fun and games until someone gets hit by a chair. Then it turns into s serious relationship.

Certainly casts a whole new light on decades of professional wrestling.

Censored (with the annoying light beams) or no?
