Ahn! Con

I’m considering going to Ahn!Con (Kansas City Yaoi Convention)… but I want to know who the guests are going to be first. =/  The three headliners were all great draws last year… when I couldn’t go.

I dunno.  It’s such a giant expense to get over there, I want to make sure they have good guests or I’m not going to make enough money to afford the trip.

Someone should suggest to them that I be a guest. =/  That would be cool.

Anyone out there go last year?  Did you have fun?  Would you go back?

Hey!  Our winter heating bills sucked our savings dry, and I really need some money so that I can register for AA tables for the conventions I’m going to this year.

As the images clearly show, I will draw anything and everything (I do, of course, have my limits like anyone else, which include rape and gore, sorry!)  But shipping is INCLUDED and I work fast!

2.5 x 3.5 in. Sketchcards $5 (1 chara. each)

8.5 x 5.5 in Commissions:

  • Pencil 1 character: $10
  • Pencil 2 characters: $15
  • Inked (1 or 2 chara.): $25
  • Watercolor (1 or 2 chara.): $35

Totally reasonable prices, right?  My other caveat is that keyblades, animals, excessively detailed Final Fantasy outfits, and anything else that would reasonably take me extra time to draw count as characters.  Just ask, though!

I take paypal only right now!

Thank you so much!  Reblogs appreciated!

Four BL Manga I Can Recommend in Good Conscience

A new blog entry on Fandom Matters: 

Four BL Manga I Can Recommend in Good Conscience

Let’s talk genre subversion!

Honto Yajuu

…proof that you can make a fun and sexy yaoi manga without a single instance of rape.

GO FIGURE.

Go read it, if that’s your thing!

A gift for HamletMachine.  Looking forward to meeting her at Otakon, wanted to have something to give her.  I rushed it (I’m getting on the plane for Baltimore in… a few hours?), but I hope she likes it.  It’s Cain and Abel from her comic Starfighter in Derse/Prospit costumes from Homestuck.  I heard she liked Homestuck. ;)
I just finished a month of advertising my webcomic on the Starfighter site- it was great!  I got lots of visitors and new readers.  I’m grateful for the opportunity.
Anyway, watercolor on arches.  Scanner murrrrrrrdered the colors!  Blegh!  In real life, it’s a bright magenta and ochre… oh well…

Yamamoto Kotetsuko “Honto Yajuu”this story is really too brilliant. The perfect mix of cute, sexy, stupid and dramatic.

^^^ Fellow fujoshis, GO READ THIS.
1 ) Story is light, funny, and has adorable artwork.2 ) While you’re at it - check out the Honto Yajuu BLCD - starring Kakihara Tetsuya and Nakamura Yuuichi (for Fairy Tail fujoshi fans - Natsu and Gray :’>) it’s simply BRILLIANT.

Not gonna lie, I read this a while ago because all I could see in the Yakuza guy was Kanou Shuugo.  AU SPUNKY YAKUZA KANOU.

Also, if anyone cares…

I’ll be Nezumi from No.6 on Friday.

Natori Shuuichi from Natsume Yuujinchou on Saturday.

Momoe Maria from Ookiku Furikabutte (hey boobs) on Sunday.

All the while, I’ll be at my table in the fanmarket where you should stop by and buy all of my Oofuri porn.

…there’s a lot of it.

Noooooo.  No, no, no, no, no.  I’m going to go ahead and assume this is a cry for help!
Lemme tell you some facts contradictory to yaoi sex ed:
1. No does NOT mean yes.
2. Even the third time.  No, ESPECIALLY the third time.  Back the fuck up!
3. Lubrication is required to penetrate the anus.
4. Saliva is not adequate lubrication.
5. The anus must be stretched open prior to penetration.  Fingers work.
6. Unless you’ve recently exited the bowels and have a nice fibrous diet and solid stool, OR have used an anal douche prior to sex (and not right before, or it could get irritated), there might be fecal matter pulled out during sex.  Not super hot.
7. …which is a great reason for condoms!  Which should be used for every anal encounter.
8….including analingus!  Because…fecal bateria!  In mouth!  Not so great.
9. The average amount of ejaculate is about a teaspoon.  NOT A GALLON.  
10. Hair. It exists on the body. Around the pubic area, under arms, even sometimes *gasp* on CHESTS.
Point:  Most of what you’ve learned about sex is not from yaoi, because you have not learned anything about sex from yaoi.  Please, fangirls and boys!  Keep yourself and your partners safe and educated.  Basing your sexual expectations off of yaoi is a surefire way to ruin your sex life!
Disclaimer: I love yaoi as much as the next guy, and I understand that it is fantasy, and realistic sexual facts detract from the fantasy, and so they are excluded.  I don’t care about that (I expect that!), I just really, really want to make sure yaoi fans know the difference!
(Feel free to add to the list if you reblog, btw. I didn’t even get to facts about nipples.)
Remember, consent is sexy!

Dear Fangirls: We Need to Have a Talk #1

fandommatters:

Today’s Talk:  Do You Even Know What Yaoi is?

No.6 is not “a yaoi.” (…) When you use the term incorrectly over and over, we fangirls lose the privilege of being able to participate in meaningful discourse about the series.  I am not unique in wanting to both enjoy yaoi fanworks from No.6, but also to appreciate and discuss the narrative.  If you enter the conversation calling it a yaoi, no one is going to take you seriously.  Not because yaoi is an illegitimate media (it’s not!) but because No.6 has a plot beyond an incidental contrivance allowing two males to have sex.  Even I’m not having a meaningful discussion about No.6 with you if you think it doesn’t.”
