    About



    [info]yaoi_daily_cafe is a casual and open forum for sharing just about anything relating to yaoi. Like [info]yaoi_daily, the intent is to explore yaoi in a positive environment, free from criticism for your tastes. Click here if Yaoi Daily is gone.

    This adult community is Friends Only, therefore only those who join will be able to view, comment and post (remember to log in).

    Please e-mail the moderators if you have any questions, comments, and/or complaints not covered below. We will respond as soon as we are able.



    1. This is an adult community. You must be 18 or older to join. You will be banned without notification per LiveJournal's TOS if you are discovered to be under 18.

    2. Stay on topic.

    3. All forms of yaoi are celebrated within the cafe, including shota, BDSM, non con, bara etc. Please be respectful. Extend kindness to fellow members, be tolerant of others' tastes, share the love and most of all - have fun!

    4. PROHIBITED: (a) Discussions about personal fantasies and sex life in lurid detail, (b) Real life homosexuality, (c) Technical questions and/or complaints (e-mail the mods).



    1. PLEASE NOTE: Unlike [info]yaoi_daily, FAN WORKS (i.e. wallpaper, icons, fanfic, fanart, etc.) ARE ALLOWED, but please follow the posting format that is below when posting fan works. Posts without fan works or images do not need to be placed within an lj-cut -- it's easier to invite responses if people can read your post without clicking on the post itself.

    2. EXAMPLES OF POSTS: (a) Discussion of a series or creator (mangaka, doujinshika etc.), (b) Yaoi goods for sale, (c) Requests for a series or specific file(s), (d) Summaries and discussions of [info]yaoi_daily posts, (e) Advertising (yaoi communities, websites, etc.), (f) Asking questions about a series, creator, terminology, etc. and (g) Expressing your love for yaoi via fan works.

    3. Tests, memes, polls, role-play requests, slash and things of that nature will not be accepted. Posts should reflect the spirit and theme of [info]yaoi_daily.

    4. If you wish to post images here, please place them within an lj-cut and state if the images are Work Safe or Not Work Safe. Please limit posting of images to fan works, asking questions and/or advertising since [info]yaoi_daily is an image posting community.

    5. Please label your warnings clearly! Here is your guideline:

      Work Safe: Chaste kisses, light touching, snuggling, etc.
      Not Worksafe: Nudity, sexual activity, fluids, etc.
      Additional warnings: Hentai, BDSM, rape, original character, spoilers, death, etc.



    If you are posting fan works, please place this following before the LJ-cut!

    Title: (optional)
    Author/Artist:
    Website: (optional)
    Warnings: (work safe/not worksafe + etc.)
    Fandom/Pairing(s): (optional)
    Notes: (optional)



    Layout/Icon: Art used in this layout is from the "When a Man Loves a Man" series by the amazing Nitta Yuuka. Icons are still required [feel free to donate more!].

    Rules are subject to ongoing updates. Any major changes will be brought to the attention of the community members by way of a "mod post". Thanks for your understanding.

    The Yaoi Daily Cafe was brought to you by the letters BL, an account from LiveJournal, and viewers like you~
