Yes, this might sound stupid (haven't really made a real post here yet><), but if you've been around yaoi/shonen-ai/slash for at least more than six months, do you feel that you can't read shonen-ai anymore because it's only kissing (cuz I know why I read yaoi and slash)?

i read shonen-ai all the time... especially considering that it translates into shota now-a-days... in japan, shonen-ai is an outdated term; now it's used to describe shota.
Plane ol BL, on the other hand, gets boring sometimes...

I like anything as long as it has a good story ^^
Shonen is good cause it tends to either be funny(from what I read) or really interesting

Yaoi is good because.....-snickers-. You know

^^

I guess I like shounen-ai better, because I'd rather read a story with a plot than a PWP. Not saying that all yaoi is nessessarily PWP, but I'm generalizing.

I like them both, but shounen-ai more so, just because it tends to be cuter in my opinion.

[ I like BL. The anticipation for a relationaship is fun. ]

[ Yaoi just seems clich'e to me.]

[ But I wouldn't mind if there was a sex scene in BL of course.]

[ but mostly I like stories that revolve around love and fluff.]

I personally like anything as long as it has a good story line, and it keeps my interest... exclaim

That depends what you are reading it for... If you just want sex ... or if you want story too.

i like to read both but i tend to use the term yaoi to mean both coz in japan the term shonen-ai kinda refers to ****** nowadays....

I like both, but I prefer just plain old BL.

Cute and fluffy with a good story line is just how I like it. Though I won't turn down a good yaoi when given the chance... xD

If the story is good, I'm fine.

Though, sometimes I wish I could find a Yoai with a good long story. =|
