Does this mean the author Old Xian is a man who writes BL for women? Or is this just a male character who uses her pen name? I only knew Mineyo Maya did that. Do Korea & China also call it yaoi & BL or do they have their own terms?

    I would say that in chinese, they call it manhuajia.. 漫画家.. the characters are the ones used by the japanese but the chinese and korean use this arragement of characters and pronounced it according to their language.. Manhuajia and Manhwaga

    They're called dada like author-dada or old xian dada. Dada is a high level respect. Originally it was used for family like grandpa, grandma, etc.

    Also, yaoi and shounen ai are all under the BL category so it's hard to label what is what sometimes if the story hasn't progressed far enough yet. I'm a Chn>Eng translator.

    Oh, that might mess with me. XD Dada is also the name of a widely disliked form of unaesthetic art that's all about expression while being unpleasent to look at.

    Not really. In Chinese and Japanese, it's called 耽美 or たんび

    ... for me... i call shounen ai as BL coz it is directlly translated.. then yaoi.. then bara..

    I categorize them from the intensity XD..
    INTENSITY PG12- BL
    INTENSITY R18- Yaoi
    INTENSITY R18^^^^^^^^^^^- Bara

    So i have three categories.. or manbe i can add Just Bromance with this.. XD

    Possibly because of Chinese laws she will have to keep it suggestive. I've read about fujoshi manhuajias in China actually being arrested.

    Meanwhile, Taiwan is going to legalize gay marriage. I imagine a lot of fujoshis may relocate there. Old Xian's coworker Moss seemed particularly interested in this news; I found it on his blog.
