It's just so ridiculously adorable; maybe that's why I don't see any of this: it's so pretty it's ILLEGAL.

I mean, you know, what you *post* doesn't have to be BL.

Apparently, this style is called "tambi", "a word meaning 'the worship and pursuit of beauty'. It was used to describe the early male/male stories that mainly ran in June. June was heavily influenced by a well-known author and literary critic who used multiple pen names, so many of the stories utilized a high literary style. These stories came to be called tanbi - stories written for beauty and pursuit of beauty only. Tanbi style includes flowery language and uncommon kanji/words, which makes it a difficult read for foreigners.

The tanbi style is mainly a thing of the past. It has been replaced by BL stories - mass written, easy-to-read stories....Tanbi is no longer written". (http://www.aestheticism.com/visitors/reference/jpnse_def/)

DRAT!
