What You Will Find on Yaoi Journal

• You can join community blogs such as Yaoi Daily, an eye-candy, image posting community, providing daily doses of yaoi. Participate in discussions and contribute content along side your fellow yaoi fans!

• You may wish to connect with others sharing the same obsessions and create a community devoted to themes such as:
  • a manga-ka,
  • specific genres,
  • a J-music artist or artists in general,
  • doujinshi or doujinshi circle,
  • reviews,
  • seiyu etc.

• You can even create your own personal blog and post:
  • personal insights,
  • news,
  • reviews,
  • fan art,
  • fan fiction,
  • essays,
  • con reports and
  • anything else you can think of that would appeal to the yaoi loving masses.

• If you’re really keen, you can create static web pages linked to your blog so that visitors can easily find your:
  • articles,
  • guides (i.e. how to create icons, scanlation tips, etc.),
  • fan creations, and
  • whatever else you choose.

• Or, you can just sign up for a user name and enjoy surfing and/or posting throughout the site — as long as you’re 18 or older! If you wish to lurk (view the contents of the site without ever interacting with others), we welcome you too!
