Yaoi-con.... You all knew I would pop in here eventually. <grin>
Last year Carlos (of Mindwarp Entertainment), entered and won (tied) for Best Technical, with myself.
Doki Doki also entered a video to the contest last year. It would have done well, except for a fatal flaw. It had gay males in it, but not Bishy males. (It was muscle men, instead of long haired fem guys).
I entered and attended Yaoi-con. It was the best convention I have ever been to. It's only for those over 18, and thus the maturity level of the convention is nice. There was also a large percentage of people who wrote fanfiction, or read Japanese (to read their Yaoi DJs). So you have people who I found to be alittle more educated in regards to Yaoi. (If no other reason then they can tell you all the reasons why certain characters must be gay, in various series).
There will be males at the convention, and if they are cute, they will find no lack in companionship. If nothing else friendship, and drooling factor. There will be stright males at the convention (there were some last year).
Basically the convention is big on tolerance, so as long as your tolerant of everyone else's beliefs and life styles, they will be tolerant and respectful of yours. (You also can get into the most interesting conversations).
I will be attending Yaoi-con and I know alot of people who are entering the contest. I don't want to say names at this time, because they may not wish to announce such yet. I will have three videos in the contest, and I will be running the AMV panel, (I could always use more/new panelists). So there is AMV things to do. The convention is also highly social.
I think that covers everything.
