BL

alinmango April 18, 2017 9:49 pm

If you could write your own BL, what would it be like? What kind of tropes would you include and do you have any preference for hair color? Would it be explicit, tame, etc.?

Just thought I'd give you all something to think about!

    I have always liked strong willed tsundere uke who the seme has to fight for, I also really like delinquents or yakuza characters so probably incorporate that in as well. I would probably include a scene in which the uke kisses the seme while he sleeps also a scene in which the uke ( or seme) introduces his family to their partner. Not really any preference such as hair color etc but if I wrote and drew a yaoi the seme and uke would both look manly and ofc very hot ლ(´ڡ`ლ) I would probably not have it be very smutty right from the get go but as their relationship develops I would have some smexy scenes... I would like to add some original plot line but I I'm not creative enough ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭

    Haha, that sounds interesting! Do you have a Bara-theme going on?

    Well, I'm not really good with coming up with stories, but let's pretend I was ^_−☆
    I would write a manga about person A transferring into a new office branch. There guy B kind of falls for him and tries to get closer to him. The thing about person A is that he is actually into guys, however due to societal pressure and his parents expectation, he tried to suppress these feelings until now. A just wants to be normal but the advances from B make him make waver. So now A has to make the choice whether he gives in to his urges and is finally true to himself or if he wants to continue to make himself unhappy trying to please everyone else.

    B is the uke, because I really love straightforward/ proactive ukes and struggling semes ^^ But over all the pace would be rather slow, 'cause I want the focus to be on the character development. And their looks... They are about the same hight, A has brown hair (in the manga it would be grey) and wears glasses, B's hair would be lighter and he has a mole below his left eye.

    Now, I really want to read this story …

    I hope someone writes it for you. For now, the premise sounds familiar enough, I'm sure someone has written something similar!

    Hahaha thanks. hmmm I don't think I would have a Bara-theme but I don't like it when the uke looks like a girl or is extremely short and overly cute and helpless. It doesn't feel very realistic (most of the time there are exceptions) But I guess that's just personal taste (▰˘◡˘▰)

    Sometimes I just see things and I get BL ideas randomly so I jot them down on my phone. I once was in a car and saw an adult store across the street to a bank. Adult store employee (uke) x banker (seme)! I've written out plotlines but never a full chapter. I might one day though.

    Ohohoho it would be VERY explicit







    or a cheating story where the uke gets to beat the sh*t out of his ex-boyfriend

    I mean it's a bit inspired by these stories:

    But I never get enough of inner conflict and stories with good character development ;)

    I feel it. What's more exciting than violence and great sex?

    Oh, this is something that writers are infamous for doing. Although I have heard horror stories about erotica authors dropping their "notes" in public and having some poor, innocent soul pick it up and read it.

    Whatever April 18, 2017 11:26 pm

    aight, this is about to seem REALLY TWISTED! that's why I love Harada-sensei's work, (IF YOU DO NOT LIKE TWISTED SHIT DONT READ!). SO I would really, really love it if the uke is childhood friends with the seme, the get along very well, but the seme is SUPEEERRRR possessive and sadistic, the seme doesn't like the uke getting along with ANYONE. and so one day he would like to lose his mind and threaten the uke with something, but the uke would just say do whatever you want, and then the seme would like to lose his final barrier and just like rape him. The uke would face immense mental stress and shit like that. The seme would trap him in his house and not even let him out. Then finally the uke would find a chance to escape and just leave and run far away from the seme. The shocked seme would just cry and lose his mind, go looking around the world for him and just never find him and would just commit suicide. The uke who FINALLY left him would be living happy with his new lover (A BOY) and hear about the old seme's death, then he would act like he's sad, but in reality, he's just VERY VERY VERY HAPPY!!! IK IK this seems stupid, but I just wanna read a manga with this similar plot where the freakin uke leavessss the seme and not feel pity for him for ONCE!!!!!

    I'm exteremly bad at writing and grammar but if I were to write a story it probably would have been something like slice of life. Probbly it would be about a sassy uke who actually knows his worth (trash can) and a seme who probably is like perfect he's got sparkles and all that shit. I actually can imagine the uke saying things like ''Wow very sugoi let's fuck'' to the seme when they first meet.

    Seme also probably has a girlfriend who is lesbian and they are just dating because they are confused about their sexualities (The girlfriend is in love with her best friend I'm calling it).

    I have no idea how they would look like and I don't have a plot they are just,,, hangin'.

    (It probably won't have smexy times because dROWN ME IN FLUFF KISSING AND HUGS ARE SO NICE.)

    Moral of this story: I'm dumb, this is also pretty dumb.

    WHY YOU LETTING ME UNLEASH MY FANTASIES MAN HERE IS GOD KNOWS HOW MANY WORDS STUFF -don't read this, this is embrassment for me-
    I always loved cliche stories (don't look at me like that!) Like the uke is kinda poor seme is a CEO or something idk or they both work together but the seme is a bit more superior or uke is like a spy who is digging up shit from the seme and gets caught. And the seme is like so handsome everyone admires him uke is the average Joe on the street but the seme falls in love with him hard but uke doesn't realise his worth etc. Uke also has some family issues from his past like his family disowned him because of his sexuality (poor uke, i tortured my lil darling) and the seme is also having some family issues like arranged marriages, family pressure etc and they both feel so comfortable, unwind when they are together. They talk about tonnes of stuff, compatible in bed they just love each other. Then one of semes marriage candidates falls in love seme and sees the uke as a rival or an ex-gf maybe but she is nice she isn't too bad like she is ok the only thing she confesses the seme and uke nows seme always wanted children etc so he feels like a burden to seme and transfers to the rival company and cuts off him in order to forget him. Of course seme is seriously in love with him so he goes above and beyond to find the uke (oc those cliche kdrama scenes where they are fucking next to each other but can't see each other happens here) well also previously to this uke had attended a welcome party for new employees in this rival company and like in the manga 'complex' he shagged this other employee when he and she was drunk (foreshadowing here) and finally seme finds the uke and like explains everything how he doesn't care about children blah blah blah uke cries they hug they have sex blah blah blah so days go on uke now is in a higher position in this rival company him and seme are equals now which seme enjoys and teases uke sometimes but now their company is working together at some occasions to increase shares blah blah but then the girl uke shagged gets pregnant and it's from the uke (cliche blah blah) but she doesn't want to get married because she is in love with this other person but they both can't look after the baby uke doesn't want her to get abortion because in deep down he really wants to be a father and he knows the seme wants a family as well so he tells her he will adopt the baby and will take responsibility she doesn't have to do anything and he will cover all medical fees blah blah blah but he doesn't tell this to the seme in case he thinks uke'd betrayed him but then seme finds some scans (idk what they are called you know you see this disgusting thing determines the gender that) of the baby and asks uke about it etc and then nothing dramatic happens they adopt the baby it is a lovely healthy boy and seme adopts uke to his name and he works so hard at the company that his parents can't say a word about it uke is also very successful they live happily ever after

    don't know why but i will always use an actual yaoi and turn the story to my imagination. and everytime the seme (or uke) is cheating because i like heartbreak and find it unrealistic that the relationship will always last forever

    Oh gosh, I've fantasized about being a bl mangaka so many times, but my art is just not up to par. T.T But the story I want written is a childhood friends turned to lover stories that has a historical setting. Maybe master x servant? King x peasant? Rivals? Princes? Maybe they played as kids, but met again later? Maybe they just grew up together? aloof x cute? Idk, there's so many ways it could begin. But definitely a historical setting. They slowly fall in love. Maybe some problems what with it being historical, but lots of chapters about just being together. And I definitely would include chapters from both of their perspectives bc that's just cute to know. Oh! And I want a friend or family member to play cupid for them! Of course, they fail, but the two still get together in the end. No bullying. No rape. And absolutely, NO LOVE TRIANGLES. There can be a little bit of jealousy, but no third person interrupting bc this 3rd person usually ends up alone and tends to be annoying. Sex is nice, but if I wrote a story, I think it'd be more shounen-ai, just cause reading it is one thing, but I have a horrible time describing sex the way an author would. Aaaand, it would have to be like a 100 chapters long, bc there are so few bl's that are long and good. :)

    I love those tropes! I don't think there are enough historical mangas out there. Probably because it is difficult to fit homosexuality into a historical time period logically, but the point of fantasy is that it's a fantasy, right?
