[butterflydreaming]

[In one week, I'll be in Los Angeles again!  Oh, city of my birth -- how I hated you in my early years.  But just as I began to see your beauty, I ran from you.  Take me into your arms again, oh city of heat and smog, traffic and indifference.  Let me hear the ocean sing me secrets.]

I took a look around at what sites would come up first in a search for yaoi fanfic... Why Oh Why?  First, let me explain why I never use the term yaoi.  It's because, according to Dreisen in Anime Explosion (an overrated book, I decided), it's a acronym of sorts, coming from a phrase that essentially means "having no purpose".  The idea being that two guys cannot reproduce, and therefore, sex between them is fruitless.  Of course, that idea bugs me. 

So now, after a quick perrusal of the top search finds, I want to run screaming from fanfic in general and CCS in particular... more specifically, Touya/Yukito.  I used to love this pairing.  Now I just want to grind my teeth.  Can someone please do something new with these boys, please for the love of Mike!  It is so painfully over-done to death.  Everything that can be said, seems to have been said.

I have to remedy this, for my own sake, somehow.  But how?  I haven't a clue.  No one would read a story where they were "just" best friends, would they?  Something with the two of them that wasn't all fluff, and wasn't an angstfest?  And then, there's the food-fic problem.  I've thought about that one... but, y'know, doin' stuff with food doesn't turn me on, so I don't know if I could really make that erotic.

I'm so depressed now.

Oh, and the best that I could find (in summaries) was "hints of Clow/Yue".  {snorts in derision} 

I apparently live in my own private Idaho.
