Just out of curiosity, do you guys have any BL's that you to refuse to watch/start? If yes, which dramas?

 American Fan:

Looking through my PTW list for the next great BL to watch and found this little film, At The Moment, but haven't found a place to watch it.  It may be on gaga and I don't have it right now. 

Yes, I watched it on GagaOoLala.

Nope.

Yes, it's on Gaga, at least in my country. I watched it way back, and it was a bit weird and confusing but also interesting (in particular the gender identity theme) as well as of course futuristic (and thus different from most BLs). It was alright, but I didn't love it.

I had to think hard about this, but maybe 'Theory of Love.' Which more than refuse, I've been avoiding, because I know it's going to stress me out.  Also, ITSAY & IPYTM... because again, I feel like they're going to spike my anxiety lol

There are some BLs which I put in my "on hold" list to remind myself that they don't interest me or have bad reviews - but I wouldn't call this "refuse to watch", and it's possible that I later change my mind. (My "dropped" list is reserved for titles that I have actually tried before dropping. I wish that MDL offered an additional list called "not interested" or "purgatory" or something like that.)

There's a 'Not Interested' one !

This ^

Gosh, is that new, or have I just been blind (= euphemism for stupid)? (Rhetorical question, don't answer.)

In any case, I make "Notes" for each title in my "on hold" list so I can remember why I put it there. I've also been trying to mark my "priority" for each of the kazillion titles on my vast PTW list, so I can have some idea of which ones I really actually plan to watch within my remaining lifespan. (Joke, not being morbid.)

Hello fellow notemaker!!!! * waves frantically *

I do this because I can never remember why they are on hold.

You can quote a selection from someone's post,  like I just did with your statement above, and repeat it with other posts into the same box. Just highlight the content you want to respond to and a little pop up above the highlighted area will say "quote".  

Hello American Fan, Oh thank you for this advice! That's magic. :D This helps a lot! 


 Chun Mo Rionnag:
I've just added four more series to the list for you. Still think I'm missing a few though.

Hi Chun Mo Rionnag, that's lovely! :-) No worries, please! You can always can come up to me and tell me a recommendation, also in 6 months etc. :D

Nearly had a heart attack before I FINALLY managed to get logged on again TT

Ohh OnxyTheHedgehog, I feel you! I always break out in a sweat over something like this! Nice that it worked out! :-) Maybe you have a small book or something where you can write down the password?^^

The League Of BL, we operate in secret, but a mighty force that can shake the very foundation of the industry when a series collective pisses us off.  Cue the dramatic music

I love this and I can hear the dramatic music. :D 


... okay, I really looove this "copy text and quote function", haha ! :-) 

 American Fan:
I almost always have a couple of non-BLs and BLs at one time so I can bounce back and forth depending on how I feel that day or when I get a little tired of the same drama, but I know I want to watch the whole thing.  On the other hand, if I take too long of a break from an unfinished series, I run the risk of losing interest completely.

I do this the same. I am a mood watcher, sometimes I want some action and fighting scenes, political intrigues or a good revenge drama, sometimes I am in need of a warm, comforting romantic drama, and on other days I just want to laugh. Sometimes all of these moods on one day, haha. So I need a drama for almost every mood.^^

If a drama is too dark, I sometimes prefer to watch it at lunchtimes on a weekend because it's too scary for me in the evening. :D  But it also happens that I watch dark/ spooky dramas in the evening though, lol.

Yep, but too many to mention here. That's why I use the Not Interested list. If I come across the title again I already know I prolly wouldn't like it cuz I already did the research.  

Also to be fair, if I've only watched the first EP of a series and I know for sure I don't want to continue, then I'll mark it as Not Interested instead of dropping it.

Oh ok, thanks. It doesn't sound like it's worth the effort to seek it out specifically. If I ever have access to watching it then I could at that time.
