And as well as... interjecting a highly erotic feel into the works. Seriously, I'm wondering if this said author is a man or a woman who's very good at reading humans 'cos the male characters feel very uhmm... "masculine" and like "real men". How do I put this? When reading some of this person's works, I feel like... I'm reading some very hardcore hentai but in place of females, there're only men. And sorry for my poor grammar, my brains just aren't working. =P As they say, as you get older, your brains start to turn into primordial ooze!

And there's just something beautiful in her work that sometimes, comes across as "storybook-like" or even "fairy tale-like", even if there isn't much "plot" in a number of her titles.

We need more good yaoi writing. I'm sure your friend is in for a treat. :-) I, myself, am not very familiar with yaoi prose novels (having read more traditional gay prose novels), so I reached out to some friends on Twitter. If you're looking for free stuff, the first place they suggested was fanfiction sites -- the quality of some of those stories can actually be quite high and those sites also have the benefit of having supportive critique from other writers. (Something that's essential while learning your craft -- and which you, yourself, could take advantage of if you have a fandom you like.) <a href="http://www.fanfiction.net/" rel="nofollow">fanfiction.net</a> and <a href="http://adultfanfiction.net/" rel="nofollow">adultfanfiction.net</a> (if you're over 18) were both recommended highly. Also, I was told that there are a number of excellent Livejournal communities that cater to fanfiction for certain fandoms. Another option for you to consider is <a href="http://www.emanga.com/books/?s=all&format=novel" rel="nofollow">emanga.com</a> . Emanga is not 100% free but they do offer free samples and allow you to rent their yaoi novels (and comics) for not much money (like $2). Also, if you're looking for free, please don't forget your local library! They, of course, have tons of free books that they'll let you take home and study for weeks -- and librarians, in my experience, tend to be very strong advocates of free speech. They are among the most open-minded bunch of people you're likely to find. While they probably won't have many Japanese yaoi novels in stock, they should have a number of "gay" novels (which will have been written by both women and men, regardless of whether the author's name sounds "male"). If you are looking to improve your writing, reading published physical books will help you because they will already have been vetted by agents and editors which gives a pretty high filter for quality. And you will definitely find a variety of styles there. If you specifically want to read yaoi novels that have been translated into English from Japanese (and that you know are available, say from a publisher like DMP), you can ask the librarian to get it for you and often they will be happy to do just that. (And one final nice thing about libraries is that because the libraries buy books that are popular with their members, when you take out a book, even though you aren't paying any money, you are actually supporting that creator's work -- and that's an awesome thing to do for an author in a niche market like yaoi who is making very little money themselves. Trust me, every little bit helps.) Anyway, hope that helps you. Please let me know if you have any other questions.
