Event Yaoi

Event Yaoi is an association who has been promoting Japanese gay romance – Boy’s Love, yaoi, bara, and yuri, since 2009.

It has engaged in many projects to follow this objective: a publishing label, a webradio, an e-magazine, an e-shop, translation of Japanese, Chinese, or English works, fan meetings in France, and the organization of a yearly event.

Event Yaoi will be meeting you at Japan Expo Sud, with many games and contests to arouse your curiosity and make you have fun!

All day long at the booth, contests are organized:

• Speed Fic’ and Speed Draw: take a copy and pick one of the prompts proposed (words, expressions, quotes, etc., to inspire your text or drawing). Of course, the latter are a bit zany!  Fill in the document (fandom and pairings are free) respecting the frame. Let your imagination guide you, no constraints.
• Speech bubble contests: the speech of a manga page has been erased from the bubble. It’s up to you to invent new dialogs! 
• Cissors, glue stick, and patience…. Welcome to the Papertoys table! Your favorite shônen and shônen-ai heroes are all here, ready to fold in your hands.

Several times a day, games for all, to test your knowledge… or cunning! Newcomers are welcome:

• Draw or Die: the stopwatch is about to start and your teammates are ready! Make them guess a list of top secret words but watch out, your only weapons are a felt pen and your imagination. There's no time to lose… 3, 2, 1, draw!
• Couple quiz: from illustrations, find the name of a character and the title of the anime, video game, or manga it belongs to. 
• Crossplay challenge: you have one hour! Go chase after crossplayers at Japan Expo Sud and catch them in pictures, or talk to them into following you to the booth.
• Yaoi Quiz: the biggest fans will take up this challenge and try to answer yaoi culture general questions (mainly about Boy’s Love manga published in France).

And of course, there’ll be prizes for the winners!
