dagas_isaA review just came in...
I have this one story that centers on Fukunaga (a trans woman)revealing her (canonical) crush on Akiyama. As far as I'm concerned, Fukunaga is completely a woman and I use feminine pronouns for her when writing her in a story.
So uh...
I'm not a big fan of yaoi, but this story was really well written. keep it
up.
I'm glad you liked it and think that it's well-written, but there's one issue:
It's not yaoi. It's het where the woman happens to be transgendered. If I could somehow pull off an in-character Fukunaga/Nao fanfic, that would be yuri/femslash in my view.
*sigh*

(My bad review came with a couple of examples of "your" for "you are", along with a pedantic lesson "explaining" to me in small words that lesbians can't have cunnilingus in the 69 position. Apparently my gf and I and her lovely wife have mutually broken the laws of physics for over a decade.)
ETA: I HATE CATEGORIES, LABELS, AND ARBITRARY RULES. I HATES THEM.
Yaoi. Trans. Dom/Sub roles that are locked and immovable the moment one person does something active, making the other partner passive. Sex act A can never involve sex act B. Why apply made-up labels, then complain when the labels don't fit?
Of course, this is coming from someone who's bi and has no grasp of fixed, permanent roles and definitions. La la la.

It's kind of weird, because the "yaoi" or whatever it was in my story was just a kiss, and not even a 'mutual one'. I'd barely qualify it as romance.
I use labels for my fic (a.k.a. Fukunaga is a trans woman, because that's how I read her character in canon, but I wouldn't yell at someone if they called "him" a transvestite, or they assumed he/she was 'bigender' or 'genderqueer' or etc), and certainly where something might be 'fixed' other things would be fun (dom/sub) to play with.
But in general...ugh...I get fed up with people who insist that one way is the only "correct" way to go about writing fic...
