Welcome!



Let me be the first to Welcome you to -=|The Literate Yuri and Shoujo-ai Guild|=-. This place was first founded back during the summer of 2005, by Saria Mithril, making it one of Gaia's oldest Yuri and Shojo-ai Guilds in existence.

This guild is a haven for literate Yuri and Shoujo-ai Roleplay, discussions, art, pictures, and literature here on Gaia.

Since I have your attention, I'd like to remind you to please head over to the Rules forum and read up on guild rules and policies if you have not already done so. And if you have... well, it never hurts to refresh your memory!
As always, regardless of what the rules and policies of this guild are, please make sure to follow Gaia's TOS, more importantly, Gaia's PG-13 rule at all times here in the guild.
wahmbulance Failure to do so can result in banishment, and could possibility get the guild in trouble!! wahmbulance

That said, join a rp, jump into a discussion, post or view some art or chat in the OOC. Have fun, make new friends, connect with old ones.. be active!

The Literate Yuri and Shoujo-ai Guild



☥ Welcome to the guild ☥



Welcome to the first guild in all of Gaia totally devoted to literate yuri and shoujo-ai roleplaying.

If you're like most of us, you have waded through pages and pages of threads in Barton Town and the Chatterbox, looking for decent, literate yuri/shoujo-ai roleplays, and have mostly come up disappointed. Well, look no further.

This is a yuri/shoujo-ai mecca. We'll do roleplays, discussions, one-on-one RP partner hookups and just basically enjoy each others' company. Just about anything goes, provided it has something to do with yuri/shoujo-ai roleplaying.

All members are required to read this thread through completely before making their first post. Ignorance of the rules, whether they are the guild rules or Gaia's, is not an excuse. Also, if you're requesting to join, it is both required and strongly recommended that you read through both the Gaia rules and guidelines and our guild's rules and guidelines very, very carefully, or your request will be denied.

Once you are in the guild, you might also want to check out our guidelines thread, for some more information that should make your time here a little more fun and rewarding.

~~~

Oh!! And before I forget, don't forget to introduce yourself! You can do that in the Introduction Thread After all, every new friendship, starts with a simple introduction. 3nodding

I believe in recycling!

☥ What we are about ☥





Yuri and shoujo-ai

Yuri and shoujo-ai are both made up terms loosely derived from Japanese that refer to stories/pictures/whatever involving lesbian or girl/girl romance. (For more information on where the terms "yuri" and "shoujo-ai" came from, and what they specifically mean, you can check out our official policy on "yuri" vs. "shoujo-ai".) Our focus in this guild is on yuri/shoujo-ai roleplaying, but we welcome enthusiastically yuri/shoujo-ai pictures, stories, discussions, manga, and more. In fact, as long as it even loosely related to lesbian or girl/girl romance, it's welcome in this guild. We're not fussy.


Literate

Literacy refers not only to using proper English, including correct spelling and grammar, but also to the idea of "literature". That means being clear, descriptive and imaginative.

A literate roleplay is beautiful, with each post adding to the tapestry of the world of the story, and fleshing out more detail about the character. And in literate roleplays, characters are characters, not simply two-dimensional, fill-in-the-blanks, cookie cutter personalities. If you can pretty much describe your character in two or three sentences, it's not a literate character. A literate character has depth and facets that beg to be explored, and in a literate roleplay, other characters will plumb those depths with you as you explore their characters.


Who our members are

Every one of our members has demonstrated to us that they can write literately and expressively. Of course, they all also have an interest in lesbian or girl/girl romance, whether that is in roleplays, stories, comics or pictures.

Many of our members are lesbian or bisexual girls, but that is not required. As long as you have an interest in literate yuri and shoujo-ai, and you can be literate, you are welcome. Unlike other yuri/shoujo-ai guilds, we do not discriminate based on race, religion, gender, sex or age. We do, however, discriminate against stupidity.
