Bloody hell, it's Erin!Erin, the legendary originator of the first El-Hazard mailing list! Erin, who worked out that the Eye of God's genetic inheritance pattern was mitochondrial!So yeah... hi, Erin!
Finally updated the El-Hazard fan-fiction links list. Fixed broken Pit Of Voles links and MediaMiner.org links, and added more recent stories from those two archives, some links I had found over the past year or so, and a couple of links that other folks kindly forwarded to me recently.The missing stories are now at the bottom of the list. We got one back, but we lost four more. Help!!http://echoalpha.com/fanfic/ElHazard_links.htmlEnjoy! The fan-art list is next, when I can get around to it...
Sorry, Yuri writers I can deal with... Anime lends itself to the medium.
I was able to contact two of the people that dropped off the list. Both of them deleted their own works, they said they thought that the stories were bad, and one said that she only writes yaoi now. *rolls eyes*Sorry, Yuri writers I can deal with... Anime lends itself to the medium. But Yaoi writers are generally a bunch of whacked out little high school girls with too much pent up sexual curiosity and confustion. The idea that you'd delete your own work just because it doesn't have a bunch of gay guys running around trying to get each other in bed... just stupid. Oh well... some people.
Now there's some interesting reading material. I never really looked into gender-typing on the outer part as it actually flows into the yaoi / yuri stuff. I think Spanner's right.... and it just kind of arose my curiosity, Spanner, did you ever tell me how you came up with that name exactly?
One might argue that they are, in fact, more mature than male yuri writers, since they tend to focus more on the romance and character interaction more than the hawt sexx0r, whereas men regard the romance and character interaction is just a regretable formality which needs to be rushed through, or even skipped altogether to get to the good stuff.
(I need a Dooky disclaimer here: The above are generalizations, and don't necessarily apply to all yaoi and/or yuri fans and writers. There are, of course, exceptions to pretty much all things.)
I'm not a fan of yaoi OR yuri, but I'm certainly not deluded enough to think that either medium is "superior" or "more sensible" than the other!
