Places to Find/Announce BL and Yaoi Games&Comics

[Obscura]

It seems we have enough BL/Yaoi creators that I thought I'd start a thread on places to announce, market, or advertise your game once it's released.

It seems Boy Love is in this strange category where a lot of people love it or hate it, so people who normally wouldn't play Visual Novels will actually play a BL VN, or people who generally love VNs will actively avoid the BL ones.

Note: some of these places discourage self-marketing. But it would be nice to mention BL games we've played and like to others. I have yet to play a single completed BL game from Lemmasoft (I'm expecting to see a bunch here late 2012 when all your WIPs pan out), so I'm actually quite eager to play a good one and let the world know about it!

http://tjandamal.com/index.html - For more commercial projects, this seems like a great place to advertise (they use Project Wonderful.)
http://www.yaoi911.com/ - has a bunch of sites in the sidebar that may be of interest, including gay comic review sites

This reddit thread has more sources related to yaoi:

As for VN sites this is the only active VN forum of which I'm aware.
(There is reddit.com/r/visualnovels, but I don't know how many of those redditors will play yaoi, as it seems mostly like it has mostly a Katawa Shoujo-ish fanbase.

Another note: I'm not familiar with the anime or manga scene, so these sources are skewed to English-speaking sites. Please add any places of your own!

Hope this helps everyone.

Thanks, this is indeed interesting

I know a very big hentai page where the yaoi-games could also be announced (Shonen-Ai wouldn't fit there that good, but I could see, if I can get a place for that too there).
I asked them a moment ago, if they would be ok with that and, if yes, where to. If they allow it somewhere I will edit this post.
The page itself is german, but there are also masses of english users (it's one of the biggest hentai boards on the internet, so who wonders xD), so it should be no problem with the language

I'm also going to look at the other boards and pages I roam free to see, if any would fit for something like that ^^

I think the folks at http://aarinfantasy.com/forum/forum.php allow it as long as it's a freeware game.

It kinds bothers me that people skip over games that happen to have BL in them, even if they have a great story. :/

Can't romance just be romance? *sob*

On that note, idk if I'd even be able to advertise collective as a BL game, since it's optional, and you can also pursue a het romance.
