Midori would like to keep her real identity a secret, so up to now this homepage is the only reliable source about her, although no life stories told!

Well we have to look over some terms.

First of all, this homepage is basically stuffed with m/m relationship stories. That is, male to male relationship. Gay! If you don’t like this kind of thing, you can leave here as soon as you can. The fanfics presented here by us (namely, Young Slashers United) are all about gay relationship happens between characters which are basically not ours. They are somebody else’s, we just use them.

A shounen-ai story is a m/m story that emphasizes the “love” not the “sexual activity”. In other word, implicit. It may happen as mere accidental meetings of the eye, the character’s feeling toward another male chara, etc.

While a lemon is a story with explicit sex written in it. Lime is lighter than lemon, somewhere between lemon and shounen-ai, and the sex may appear as mere hints. There’s another category called citrus, and it means a funny yaoi fanfic.

All kinds of m/m stories nowadays usually fall under one category, ‘yaoi’. Yaoi is actually an acronym for “yama nashi, ochi nashi, imi nashi”: no mountain (peak/climax), no point, no meaning. That is, actually yaoi means stories that stress at the sex, other things outside it doesn’t matter. But the term has been used in broader sense now.

Special for Gundam Wing characters, usually some numbers are used to indicate who is who. They are:

1 = Heero Yuy

2 = Duo Maxwell

3 = Trowa Burton

4 = Quatre Raberba Winner

5 = Chang Wu Fei

6 = Zechs Marquise/Milliard Peacecraft

13 = Treize Kushrenada

Symbols for pairs are generally + and x. The relationship symbolised with x is usually deeper and more intimate than the one symbolised with +. The one named first is the seme, or the character “on top”. So: 13x6 means the story is about Treize and Zechs, with Treize as the seme. In North America, writers usually use / as symbol for pairs (for example: 1/2). So North Americans yaoi is sometimes referred to as ‘slash’.

Then why do we call ourselves slashers when we use the + and x?

Because it’s kinda strange calling ourselves as +ers or xers. Right?

If you still have any questions, or if you think there are things we forgot to explain here or if there’s any wrong explanations, don’t hesitate to contact one of us. Thanks!
