Try out this forum for raws, downloads, requests, and discussions. It seemed very active when I frequented it a few years ago, and it looks like it's still pretty active.

Suggestions: Natsume Isaku's works are my favorites. Especially Ameiro Paradox and Kiraboshi Dial.
I tend to find BL with an extra serving of FLUFF and ADORABLENESS. But of course, the story needs to have DEPTH. It can't be nonsense fluff. Specifically, the "I'm-straight-but-I'm-banging-this-one-guy-cause-he's-strangely-kawaii-but-NO-HOMO" kind of...... reply
I tend to be drawn to series that have a darker tone. The ones I love most often revolve around characters that have their own demons or major issues but find some sort of comfort in each other. I like protective but not possessive characters, and I heavily favor consensual scenes. 1 reply
If I'm on a page that shows anything raunchy I'll switch off of it. I keep other tabs open for that occasion. However it's not because I don't want people to know, it's just because some people aren't very comfortable with pornographic content. People know I read it, but I try to play interference for the sex scenes just to avoid the awkwardness. 1 reply
Several of my friends who I met through shred interest in anime know, as does my Mom. I'm in my 20's, so it's not like it has to stay a secret because of any legal angle. I don't talk about it around people I don't know well, simply because it might be off-putting to them. I've become more careful about what topics I bring up after finding out that...... reply
My mother knows full well that I read yaoi, and doesn't care. She has no real interest in it, but I've mentioned specific stories and shown some (non-pornographic) pictures to her when talking about things I like and admire in them. Then again, We're both adults, so it's just not a big deal. reply
If I'm gonna read a yaoi manga, it must have a good and believable plot. I can't stand redundant, cliche plots. Romance and tenderness is ideal. I prefer to see the characters "making love" as opposed to just "fucking". And of course, mutual consent is a must. reply

good storyline ;P
I don't really care about the art style and smut as long as the story line is good (and cute) then i'll read it. But if the story is just about rape *cough cough* CASTE HEAVEN *cough cough* or just smut and no plot then I might not read it for long or I'll force myself to read it but ill probably be regretting it later lol reply
I've read tons of yaoi and BL online, but sadly only own 4 hard copy manga, 3 light novels and 3 anime OVA's. I don't own any digital copies because I don't have a tablet or e-reader, and my poor old phone can't handle much of anything. I would buy more, but as a single mom of 2 teens working my ass off just to pay the bills, I can't afford to buy ...... reply
Well, I like a good storyline with good art of hot guys. I like them to fall in love naturally. I like for the plot and characters to seem realistic. I try to avoid any and rape, forced or 'tricked into it' themed yaoi when I can. I like love and smut together, not JUST smut. XD

I AM the parent, and I read it all the time. I make sure that I'm alone when reading any M/18+ ones...but I'll read softer BL/yaoi right on the desktop pc in the livingroom for anyone to see. My teenagers have no problems seeing different gender roles or sexuality portrayed in any kind of media because I raised them thinking that that love is more ...... 2 reply
Almost everyone knows I read BL and Yaoi. There are very few who don't, and those are passing acquaintances and coworkers that I'm not close to, or clients of mine. (I'm a children's behavioral health and disabled persons home health aide...so the HIPAA privacy laws and boundary issues mean we only know the basics about each other) I guess some o...... 5 reply

'Things' are your daily life experiences by which you get to know the world around you. Tell others about the things you did, may it be cool, sad, crazy or funny. You can also find things that you might want to do and a friend to do it with!
