Founder Info
Hello!
My name is Daniel! I run a yaoi-centric blog called yaoicores on tumblr !I've been a fan of yaoi + BL since I was young. I'm a gay man married to my wonderful husband since 2024! I live in the US.BL has always been an important outlet of self-expression to me and with this zine I hope to help cultivate a creative environment where people feel comfortable expressing themselves similarly.This project was attempted in early 2025 but ultimately fell through. After evaluating priorities, I've decided to bring this project back as not only submission based, but as a lower-budget project to prioritize getting it into people's hands at a low price while the cost of living increases.(Sidebar: Bronze/Zetsuai)
