C. S. Goto was not the worst BL writer ever.

Knock yourself out.

Goodness, the people who wrote that are awfully angry and edgy aren't they.

One of the three primary sources of background info for some people. I despair for this hobby sometimes...

Whilest i do not reccomend ID4 Chan, Goto's article on it, is , how to put it, excactly the right place in combination with the right people to be angry about him.
And you can bet on the wierdos at ID4Chan that they succesfully will list any transgression of him.

(Sidenote, go to the lexicanum if you want a better lore source)

I know. I tend to gravitate towards Lexicanum.

Too many people nowadays solely get their background knowledge from 1d4chan, memes and The Emperor text to speech (a series that frankly should have never made it past the pilot) series and it is seriously damaging to this hobby.

I disagree - that site is truely Epic.

My sole piece of evidence is this. Story time with Bjorn.

The Ian Watson books were standard Sci Fi fare for that time - you may not have read lots of books of that era but there was a lot of 'sexual' writing, possibly due to the target demographics interests. It was however found that pulp books with it did better than pulp books without it.

in terms of story Watsons books were better than most standard bolter porn BL adventures.

Agreed! Dont forget the sly marbo article or the most epic of all, the quaint story of Kharn the Betrayer....one hell of a guy!

Yeah Goto is the worst in a crowded field by a large margin, also Ian Watson's books were great at the time they released and while they feel weird now they captured the RT era pretty well.

1d4chan is an awesome read and the Bjorn series of stories are pretty epic with Bjorns happy ending being a favourite. In fact I am working on a blood raven Bjorn as a side project at the moment.

Anyone who thinks that Goto is the worst that BL ever published never read anything by Ian Watson.

My personal author beef is with Henry Zou. I read Emperor’s mercy and decided to shun the man forever. Barely remember the book today but I still shun the name.

I read all three of his books and I don't know how I really feel about them. I don't hate them but they didn't set the world on fire if you get my meaning.

Also he was the one booted for plagiarism right?
