Remember when

• Smuts were known as lemons
• Yaoi Warnings ( Don’t Like, Don’t Read! )
• Character x Character instead of Character/Character
• Every Time We Touch videos, and the forgotten  Listen To Your Heart videos
• Numa Numa
• Naruto Phase

The Linkin Park phase.

The Evanescence phase.

The blanket fics (aka: It’s so cold omg but there’s only one blanket guess we have to share).

Using numbers to represent characters (1x2 = Heero Yuy x Duo Maxwell).

When we started combining names for pairings (SasuNaru).

When ff.net was o.k. with lemons, then not o.k. with lemons, then switched to ratings that went as high as M.

Depending on AMV.org as the only place for amvs before Youtube happened.

Gravitation being the end all be all for canon yaoi.

BeBeautiful being THE yaoi manga provider.

Suncoast/Sam Goody/FYE being THE store for anime even if it was spendy.

The Sci-Fi channel’s Saturday morning anime block.

Fox airing anime and cutting it like crazy (Caaaaaaaard Captors, the mystic adventure~)

Buying your manga from Walden Books.
