Sometimes people will call me a fake or say that I am not allowed to read BL because of how I identify and my gender assigned at birth. Most people are okay with how I ID though. — 18, He/They, Jamaica

I am very grateful to the internet for exposing me to BL. I would be a different person without the exposure and I enjoy reading the wonderful stories. — 18, He/They, Jamaica
This interview project started as a way to document the voices and experiences of Boys Love fans across the world. The original 2020 survey was circulated online for approximately six months, closing at 553 responses. Excerpts are shared here and full interviews are located on the official Patreon.
The 2021 survey is closed. Thank you to everyone who participated!
In 2022, the BL Fan Project will be expanding and growing into something new. Documenting fan experiences is our focus as we introduce more regular polling and surveys, in addition to a dedicated space for fans to interact with the BL Fan Project and each other. Look forward to our announcements and the growth of our community!
