BL Drama Lovers Club

Guys, what's one BL you would recommend? Just one title please. Yes, I'm making you decide between all the BLs possible, for the one that you love the most. It's because I don't have much time for watching lately, but I want to watch something and I'm running out of interesting works. Thanks!! :D

At 25:00 in Akasaka is great, but only on GagaOOLala

No, it doesn't hold only 200 titles. I capped it 200 meaning I will only add 200 titles to it and no more. Same goes for my other lists: currently watching/on-hold/undecided lists are capped at 30, completed and not interested have no limit.

Oh I see! I've been working on my PTW list and I'm down to 232 titles. The lowest ever for me. My CW list is around 10 most of the time. If it's more I start to feel pressured and overwhelmed and then it's not fun anymore.

I saw the new list "Undecided" but I've decided not to use it. Sad endings or content that I want to avoid, and ones I think are really lame go on the Not Interested list.

flow:
Thanks for the list! I limited myself to pick only one title and chose Stay with Me. ^^

Great list you've got going there btw, those are some good BLs.

Great choice! And thx!

Fair enough, I think maybe managing another list is too time consuming on one side, unnecessary on the other? I also have a mirror of my MDL lists in a LibreOffice sheet. I had it previously in a GSheet but I thought making it completely offline is better.

This is really helpful, I have them just in case.

This is indeed a really good list.
As to your separate "Cutie Pies" list, I assume the omission of Fluke Natouch is solely out of deference to me and does not in any way mean to suggest that he isn't the world's cutest cutie pie. (!!!)

THX! We do have similar tastes, not totally but still close. Your more tolerant of train wrecks than me, lol.

My lists are on-going and usually get added to when watching a drama and a cutie stands out. That means I might not have seen Fluke in anything since I started this list. BUT since u pointed out he's missing, I'm adding him at this very moment.

So there!

I see you already chose something to watch. But anyway I looked through your list and we have a little overlap but some things I really liked you didn’t like or dropped so maybe I’m not the best fit to recommend something for you anyway.

i also keep a spreadsheet offline of my BLs/GLs only. I wanted to keep track of more info about these plus I wanted a listed where straight dramas weren’t mixed in. I like the spreadsheet because I can see info quickly without having to click on each drama.

i should probably make a separate list for ptw with notes because I can never remember details since my list is so long.

I chose a lot of GLs to add to my ptw list just now. I've been add and removing them forever without watching though, so I don't know if I'll actually get to them. If I do the RNG system, I'll most likely watch.

BL Challenge Day 13–Road Trip Companion

i hate road trips because I get car sick so I would not be good company with anyone. But someone interesting to talk to would help distract me. I think I would choose Bible because he seems thoughtful in interviews and has a range of interests including reading, and I like talking about books. Plus if we’re being realistic he speaks English perfectly.

I also add a lot of GLs to my list but always end up choosing BLs to watch instead. But unlike you I don’t systematically organize or cap my ptw list so who knows if I’ll ever get to a lot of them.

if it comes to watching a low-quality show, I can put up with a lot from a BL but a bad GL just annoys me.

Yeah for me the undecided list isn't necessary and yeah too much for me. That's amazing u can keep an offline list too. I know other members do that. It's not a bad idea for real, since the internet or this site could crash one day and poof! 💀

Now I've got myself worried. I could take screen shots of my PTW & Completed lists periodically and save them offline. I think that could work.

I've mentioned this way back but I'm allergic to spread sheets. I'm easily distracted and very inconsistent. I'm actually spending some time these days trying to get ALL my files, docs and photos in order cuz it's a nightmare. Even 50% improvement will go a long way. And a bonus - more storage space on my hard drive, yippee!

Well I do have the misfortune of watching a bad GL sometimes (like that short film that had bury the gays / kill the gays trope recently), but I just score it low and get on with my life. I want to have patience and good intentions for GLs as well, not only BLs.

Indie Art Girl:

Haha yeah, it is worrisome sometimes. Not the entire internet crashing, just this site not existing at some point. I also got used to having an offline list I keep updating.

I just dumped most things on an external HDD and I gotta clean it up one of these days. Not looking forward to it as I have hundreds of GB to sift through. >_< Good luck with cleaning up your computer though, it will surely be very useful to do that.
