Various thoughts on yaoi
I went up to my college campus to learn the route to my classes because, as some of you might not be aware, I am totally blind, and did not want to wander around like an idiot. I am home now, and my feet hurt, and I have a headache.

Also, I do not think that I will ever be a fan of Marion Zimmer Bradley's Darkover books. I am reading The Bloody Sun> because I was told it is a really good starting place, and I just really want to smack the protagonist until he gets over his emo.


And, despite not generally going for slash, I would so much rather see our male protagonist with one of the men in his life than the woman he has suddenly decided he loves forever and ever. Because the romantic tension was not at all introduced in a smooth and believable manner. Rather, it was like Bradley decided, "Hey, I know what let's do! Let's introduce some completely random out of the blue sexual tension involving a female character who is inevitably described every time she shows up as frail, childlike, vulnerable. Possibly I shouldn't find that at all squicky and yet... I very much do.
