Fictional Fans

I was very lucky, the very first yaoi fanarts I encountered were hidden behind Big! Honking!! Warnings!!! but were actual very tame (just the faces, a hint of bare chests, maybe leaning on each other's shoulder or a kiss on the cheek, and, oh the horror, a dribble of blood on the ones Extra-Warned for Vampires?) and here I was, wondering 1) what all the fuss was about, 2) but why this pair of boys and not another one that had more chemistry? and uh the rest was history.
