Thoroughly enjoyed this grubby bit of goodness. A little slow to start, but great tension and the sex is just made of awesome. Left me wanting more and was lucky enough to have the 2nd book to read online at the authors site. A lovely way to spend a morning! ( )

io9 had a list at the weekend entitled 'Eight sexy webcomics to read with the door locked.' This was the only one on the list I hadn't read. Well I couldn't let my standing as an utter reprobate be undone my a damned list. So read it.
It's pornographic in that pleasingly mad-cap, doesn't-make-a-lot-of-sense sort of way that a lot of nsfw webcomics are. The characters look more obviously male than the strange elfin creatures one often finds in yaoi, so that's nice.
Doesn't seem to be regularly updating at the moment, so getting terribly involved with the plot may be unwise.

Akadot.com has jumped into the publishing end with two new OEL yaoi novels, and I ordered them mostly out of curiosity. All the OEL I have read before were lacking compared to the quality of Japanese yaoi. However, this one was a surprise. Starfighter is not light and fluffy; it is very edgy with a voice of its own. It does hold to the yaoi archetypes of seme and uke, but the characters are more interesting than that. It has a futuristic, space setting. Two men, code-named Cain and Abel, are assigned together as fighter pilot and navigator. Cain is an arrogant prick. Abel is naive, but he has a spine. Most of the story involves a firefight, but there is one explicit sex scene and a clever-ending that implies a sequel(s) to come.

The style of the book is also different from traditional yaoi. It reads left to right, and it is printed as a glossy perfect-bound comic which allows for color instead of just black and white. Starfighter's story is dark, and so there isn't much color (mostly shades of gray), but there are splashes of blue and yellow. My main criticism is that it was very short, and a little expensive compared to other yaoi. This is especially true since it has to be ordered from Akadot, with accompanying shipping charges. That said, I enjoyed it and would definitely order a sequel. ( )
