You may have noticed a few changes around here at YaoiSuki. That's because we've moved to a new host, and in the process upgraded and altered a bunch of our features (most notably: embedded wiki and better forums). Unfortunately, we lost our user database in the move, so those of you who were signed up will unfortunately need to sign up again. It's a pretty painless process though!

For you Canadians who are attending AnimeNorth this weekend: Lucky you! Apparently there's a mini-con as part of the convention called YaoiNorth. You can check out their site here.
I found this out from a great article in the Toronto Star that talks a little bit about the convention, but mostly about the yaoi phenomenon. It brings up a few ideas that hadn't occurred to me-- like the idea that many women come to have sex with other women via yaoi because, as one puts it: "straight men generally aren't willing to dress up as androgynous homosexuals to turn on their girlfriends. Gay men, meanwhile, are too busy with each other. If Yaoi women want to act out their fantasies, they're on their own."
(My own interpretation of the number of lesbians/bisexuals into yaoi was the simple fact that in order to be into yaoi you generally have to be at least somewhat accepting of men having sex with men...but having had it pointed out to me, I can definitely see the above idea being a major factor to.)
Without further ado-- you can read the article here.
Discuss this news.
