umm.... ksomestupidquestions...
about anime/manga and BNF

*bows*

I'm trying to find some "beginners" hard yaoi on ebay...
"beginners" in that I don't know any good pairings, but looking for fairly hard manga or anime that is of some really awesome and romantic pairings...
Can someone suggest a title or 2?? There are, like 200 on there... some of them look really hot, but some look um.... very bloody (!) and a lot of them say, "WARNING: S/K ACTION!" like that is something really horrible.

Anyone know wtf "S/K action" is?? sounds like a property of a bathroom tub and tile cleaner or something...

also... what'sa BNF? pleeeeeease?
*clasps hands*

	I'm British and I use kerfluffle quite a bit. Only over the internet have I met people who don't know what it means. Perhaps its a regional thing? Since we're doing the whole newbie thing, would anyone mind explaining to me the whole beaded pony in-joke? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Man, the beaded the pony goes back to Blurty (which wasn't so long ago actually...) so I can't give you the original source material but if I remember correctly it was because of the Tinhats.

There was aheckofalot of wanks about it one week and someone (possibly sagra) commented that not only was the horse dead (as in "beating a dead horse") it was stuffed, mounted and beaded. I made an icon out of it *points to above* and from there a legend was born.

Or something. Dammit, there have been so many wanks they all seem to blend together now!

	I'm sure beaded was a typo. Someone typed "bead" rather than "beat." That's back when we tended to go off on tangents more. (Reply to this)(Parent)

I guess it must be, because despite being a foreigner, I'm fairly well-acquainted with most American slang. So this was totally new to me.

*looks @ your icon* Heh heh, and here I thought it was the Toei PR Devils' attempt to deny the power of DaiKen. ;)

(Then again, I never saw much of the first season, and only some of 02, so I never really got to see much of that.)

Speaking (typing?) as the one who made the icon, I had originally wanted to do a Taichi/Sora icon because good LORD have you seen the vicious wanking over episode 50? I recall the biggest flame-war on the former fanfiction.net forums were the pro-Taichi/Sora people saying that theirs was the ONE TRUE PAIRING and the Yamato/Sora people coming after them. Unfortunately, I had an usually hard time finding pics of Taichi and Sora sharing the same screen.

Then, IT came. Grace said at one point that she had gotten e-mails from people who said that there were secret yaoi (Taichi/Yamato specifically) eps that were never broadcasted in the US, and their supposed friend with an insider source to Toei said so, SO THERE. Also, I had that image sitting on my HD for awhile. And the decision was made.

So, it was mostly due to convenience, rumors of yaoi eps... and as wanky as DaiKen fandom has been at times, it wasn't quite up to Taito levels.

Thanks once more for the icon.

Episode 50 broke my heart. I was a young and innocent Taito fangirl and half-believed all those rumours on the internet that they would come out in the third series. I wouldn't have minded Taiora but Sorato just felt jammed in for the sake of it.

I keep away from Daiken fans as they often have a nasty habit of bashing my Miyako, who I worship and adore.
