maderrStupid livejournal just ate my post. and it was too long for me to want to retype it all. drat.
Suffice to say I wandered back into my academic thoughts today - I was contemplating the dissertation I would like to write someday. I realize most people see an academic interested in studying yaoi and hold up crosses and hiss, but I swear I'm not like that.
The dissertation I would like write eventually would discuss the differences b/t Japenese Yaoi and Western Slash (I'm being redundant for a reason). I had a whole list of reasons and theories, those are what I'm too annoyed to bother typing again. But humour a lonely, aspiring academic and answer me this: Do you consider yourself a yaoi fan, a slash fan, both or neither?
*goes back to writing and sulking*

I'd have to say I enjoy them both. As long as they included Boy/Boy I'm happy!!!
