This is an interesting new drama cd series called Loving House!

The story

In the year 20xx, in order to offset the aging population and falling birthrates, the Japanese government decided to enact a new decree: The government will pay all of your living expenses if you are engaged to be married by the age of 35. Because of this decree, there are many people who have fake engagements to get the money. In order to discourage these fake relationships, the government has added a new restriction "The engaged couple must live together"! You think it's ridiculous and decided to get engaged to, and live with, someone you aren't interested in, just to have your expenses taken care of. And that's where your story begins.

Baby's First Con Panel (Citrus Con Recap)

Last year I did my first ever fan panel at Citrus Con, which is an 18+ con for BL and other queer media. Citrus con has a wide array of activities for fans including educational panels, industry panels, fan experiences from all over the world, lots of games, watch parties, and many interesting guests. The con is also free and held completely online, making this one of the most accessible cons that I attend.

I have attended Citrus con since it was first held in 2023 and each time it gets bigger and better.

While having bigger guests is nice, I appreciate that Citrus con has been able to maintain it’s welcoming atmosphere. There are so many fans from all over because they hold panels almost the entire day to reach several time zones. Every year I leave Citrus con with so much more knowledge and inspiration. I almost feel this urge to create after being around so many like-minded creatives and learning new techniques to show my love for BL. This is the reason I decided to do a introductory panel on BLCD at Citrus con.

I was a little nervous about doing a con panel. I’m not exactly shy, but I’m also not the most charismatic person in the room. I was also worried about not being an “expert” on drama CDs. I didn’t want to feed into the misinformation already apparent on social media. In the end, I decided to just try. I thought with the Citrus con community being so welcoming, people would be more open to my panel, even if there were some mistakes. All of my anxieties were immediately put to rest at the con. People were so receptive! Everyone was so ready to learn and just wanted to talk about their favorite BLCDs. When the panel was over, I felt silly for ever being nervous. Of course BL fans want to talk about BL!

I created a relatively short video on basic information needed to enjoy BLCD and it is available on Citrus Con’s Youtube. I wanted to tailor recommendations for BL fans while keeping the information light and digestible. The plan was to get people excited about BLCD without overwhelming them with information. It can get very hand-wavy with definitions because a lot of words overlap. I also didn't want to create any strict rules that would keep people from talking about or looking for BLCD.

Genuinely, it made me so happy to see people excited about something as important to me as drama CDs. I am beyond thankful to the whole Citrus con staff for letting me put on my nerdy little fan panel.

Outside of my own panel, some of my favorite panels for this year were about fanfiction. I saw one panel about maintaining a good relationship with beta-readers (probably something I need to do). Not only did they break down the role of beta-readers from an industry stand point, they also gave tips on how to be an effective beta-reader. The main takeaway, for me, was communication. Writers need to communicate what they need from betas, and beta-readers need to communicate what they’re capable of doing. Apparently, it's normal to have multiple beta-readers. Another panel I enjoyed, content-ification of fanfiction, urged fans to interact with their favorite fanfic writers, not as a common courtesy, but to show that they appreciate the “gift” of fanfiction and the time that it took to write said fanfiction. Give kudos, add a comment, tell writers how much you love their fanworks. That seemed to be the message. There was a lot of community-minded panels, which is needed now more than ever.

P.S. I wrote this like a week after the con but then never posted it (classic porkchop).

Day 31 - Bonus: Spooky

VA: Fuyuno Kumaniku

Scenario writer: 高良宇多

Illustrator: さばるどろ

Release date: 1/27/2021

Why I recommend it?: The vampire/mortal relationship is a fan favorite found across romance media. There's something about when a vampire wants a specific person's blood so bad but because of their morals, they refuse to feed on them. I don't have many supernatural/fantasy audios but the few that I do, I love. This character is more straight-laced than I usually like but it works well for this dynamic. I also think that's why Fuyuno works so well in this CD. He has that serious sound to his voice. He voices a lot of characters like this.

Thank you all for joining me on this journey! This was my first time doing something like this and I had fun. I hope I helped you find something fun to listen to.

Kinktober Recommendations Day 31: 拗らせ愛 〜童貞を拗らせた彼の場合

Day 31: Free Day

VA: Mano Dai

Scenario writer: 千崎郁未

Illustrator: バニラ梨央

Release date: 3/4/2024

Why I recommend it?: I wanted my last recommendation to be a recent audio since I know I recommended a lot of older audios. This is a good starter CD. It's fluff with a virgin LI. This character is a straight-laced jock type of person. He gets frazzled by the listener often. I heard all three from this series and they're all good. There's a slow enough build-up to the sex too. Most fans will like this CD and because it's so recent, you may still get the tokuten (pre-order bonus).

Day 30: Age difference, Teasing, Forbidden

VA: Mitsuhashi Wataru

Scenario writer: Angle in white

Illustrator: Angle in white

Release date: 8/31/2020

Why I recommend it?: Literally just for the first track. That kissing scene is so cute like are you kidding me! The whole audio is just fluff from start to finish but that track is my favorite. The dynamic is bad but the relationship is just so soft and fluffy. The audio preceding this one is actually very dark so I was surprised with how cutesy it was. I picked this one because I wanted to balance out the kinks with something not so dark. As usual, Mitsuhashi's voice is just so perfect for my taste. I've probably recommended too many audios with mitsuhashi but he really is that active in the indie audio scene.

TW: Dubcon

Day 29: Creampie

VA: Aki

Scenario writer: 汐見なゆ

Illustrator: おとぎ遊戯

Release date: 6/22/2019

Why I recommend it?: A vast majority of spicy audio dramas feature creampie. Some hate the sound, others love it. In this audio, the listener gets stuffed like a twinkie. This character is another pathetic older man voiced by Aki so you know it's good. Here, the listener decides to poke the bear so they can move their relationship forward. I love it when the listener takes what they want! Another gap moe audio. Maybe I have a thing for that trope? I do want to warn anyone looking to listen to this audio to try out the samples first. This is another audio that can be harsh on the ears. There's actually another audio that is famous for its creampie scenes. I can't remember the title but he cums liters. Yes, liters. It's hilarious.
