Words

My collection of Charlie stories is sitting at 64k words with two WIP and at least a few more fics rolling around in my head. Now, I know my WinTeam stuff probably comes to around that much at least if not more, as I’ve written 21 fics about the pair, but seeing a concrete number in my Charlie series is kinda nuts.

Don’t get me wrong, I’ve written a lot prior — participated in NaNo for the last nine years or so — but I still am a bit taken aback by it haha.

I did a google and apparently Stephen King’s Carrie has less words than my story collection 😅🤣

Anyway, whenever I see these achievements — even though they’re probably minor to a lot of people — it makes me happy. Maybe one day I’ll be able to publish a legit book? My friend keeps saying I can, who knows.

To anyone who reads and enjoys ❤️❤️ thanks for always making it even more enjoyable 🧡🧡

CHOOSE YOUR (MINOR) CHARACTER

[bl-reaction-pics]

Here are some random stats no one asked for!

Top 5 characters with the most reaction pics:

Isagi (175)

Nagi (92)

Barou (59)

Rin (54)

Kaiser (52)

Unsurprisingly, Isagi is number one followed by Nagi, protagonist privilege smh. The top 5 is Isagi and his rivals proving that BL truly is the harem of rivals manga.

The unposted Episode Nagi reaction pics would bump Nagi to a hundred and Reo would tie with Barou for 3rd.

Most popular chars based on note count:

Isagi

Nagi

Kaiser

Ness

I only have the top 4 for this one. Top 3 isn't surprising, Ness being 4th is unexpected but really funny.

The top 5 volumes with the most posts:

Volume 19

Volume 15

Volume 25

Volume 20

Volume 24

The NEL arc has a lot of reaction pics. The volume that got the most notes is volume 20.

After I figured out the (sometimes approximate) dates I started watching all of the BL and other queer(ish) shows I’ve seen this year I wanted a visualization of it all, so I wrangled google sheets into giving me something. These are the approximately 65 shows I’ve started since July. (I also started Love Stage on Nov 23, but it fell of the chart.) I’ve only finished 47 of them, and several I dropped after less than one episode.

KinnPorsche I actually started sometime in June, but i left that part off, along with the six or so Chinese censored BLs and bromances I watched in May and June, because they made the chart too long and harder to read.

I binged KinnPorsche then, up until I ran out of available episodes (I think episode 7 or 8), then didn't get back to until I binged the rest around July 20. And thus a hyperfixation was born. You can see I immediately fell into the throes of it, and was stuck there for the end of July and all of August, and then it slowly died down as my watching has ebbed and flowed at a gentler pace.

Was chatting to my girlfriend about KinnPorsche and the spread of explicit vs non in fandom generally vs KinnPorsche (especially as a fairly explicit show) and you only had one stats post that mentioned KP which was interesting and made me wonder if you've ever thought about or plan to look at either KP specifically or Thai BL fandoms in general (they're not super easy to search on AO3 but there's a few bits of analysis about BL on AO3 around - notably https://rythyme.tumblr.com/post/703095197541810176 )

Heya! :D I don't have any plans currently to do deep dive stats on it -- in part because I don't know much about Thai BL, so I would have to do extra research to analyze it. I've been really hoping someone else would, though... thanks so much to the pointer on the work by the always awesome @rythyme !! I will reblog that separately in a sec, and if any of my followers know of any related data, please share in the notes!

whether it is a random person requesting them or a sneaky library purchasing off their own agenda... i need whoever is picking out the DELUGE of BL manga at the [redacted] public library to get better taste in BL manga...

LGBTQ CONTENT ALERT

Support the folks who make the content we crave

Producer of QL and BL content, Korea's Strongberry is small but scrappy and brought the world a lot more content than you might expect. The CEO had a live session a little while ago, and it was reposted with English subtitles yesterday. Among the takeaways: they have a lot more interest from actors than they used to. Also, some of the content they have distributed was produced by others but needed a distribution outlet, so they are clearly a part of the ecosystem that might not otherwise exist.

It's nice and short, and he says there will be a live session with the actors during March (date TBD). Watch this and drive up the stats! Make their investors realize they have a great audience! 😀

Above all, check out their other content on Gagaoolala and YouTube.

AITA for bitching about fics I dislike on my blog?

as a foreword, this is kind of a non-issue and no one's ever told me to stop, but I'm curious what other people think of fandom etiquette.

the fandom: a fairly small one. 2.4k fics on ao3 small. I recognize most people posting in its tumblr tag small. if I tell you the name of the source you'd almost definitely be able to find me small.

the source: pornographic, which means everyone involved is or should be an adult. it's BL with a switch MC, but the fandom overwhelmingly prefers bottom MC/top LIs (love interests), to the point where I've had people be astonishingly rude to me because my favorite character is a bottom LI and some of my friends have been outright harassed for the same. I used to not care about sex positions in the slightest, but now when I see bottom MC fanworks I can't help but remember how poorly I was treated.

the fics: wildly and inexplicably popular, even though they are, frankly, poorly written. it's eternal bottom MC turned up to 11, complete with copious amounts of OOCness in order to turn every ship into the worst ye olde yaoi gender roles dynamic you can imagine. it's things like MC, canonically a 23yo plank of a dudeguy, being written as a big titted milf in his 40s (which is made more confusing by the fact that one of the LIs is already a big titted milf). it's also things like the MC being written as disliking sex and having to be coerced into it when one of the most charming things about him is that he's a hilarious sex pest, or writing the LIs sexually harassing the MC when they really would never do that. I've likened it to replacing the characters with OCs that share the same name and my friends have agreed with me. I'm honestly convinced that the author and his readers don't actually like any of the characters if they feel the need to change everyone so thoroughly.

why I might be an asshole: it's assholish to hate on free fanworks, and I've bitched about these fics on my public tumblr blog. the fandom is small enough that there's a non-zero chance of it getting back to the author and a reasonable chance that fans of the fics have seen my bitching. I'm probably projecting the hostility I've received onto someone who's done absolutely nothing to me, and I am absolutely just straight up jealous that their fics get better stats than mine. I may also be being an asshole to myself, because being critical of other people's fics has made my hypercritical of my own.

why I don't think I'm an asshole: I think everyone has the right to be bad at things, but I also think everyone has the right to be a little hater. I don't put the fandom tag on these posts; they stay on my blog and my blog alone, and if later on I feel like I was unfairly vitriolic I'll delete the posts. I only post on tumblr because I'm certain the author in question only uses twitter, which dramatically lowers the odds of him stumbling across my posts. the fics are so popular that it's definitely possible that their fans would see my posts, but I think it's unlikely that they'd bother looking at my blog because 99% of my posts are about one of the bottom LIs. I have never and would never leave comments on the fics themselves, and I generally try to keep the bitchy posts to a minimum; it's far from a constant thing.

tl;dr - I publicly bitch about fics that (in my opinion) are poorly written and extremely OOC, under the assumption that it's unlikely the author would ever see it. AITA?

What are these acronyms?

[iguessitsjustme]

Honestly, all three of you suck.

Fah, you’re a cheater. You’re damn right you’re guilty.

Tle, you’re also a cheater. Not having enough evidence to break up with Fah despite dating someone else doesn’t make you any better. You still should have broken up with him.

WhatsyournameIdontevenknow, you knowingly dated someone who was seeing someone else.

Y’all messy. Y’all deserve each other. But did I deserve this scene? Did I deserve to have to witness y’alls horribleness? No, I did not. Yet here I am. I hate every single one of you.
