F.A.Q.-chan!
Welcome to the F.A.Q-chan! However, please be careful not
to get too
distracted by my incredible good looks! You do have a job to do.

On this page are some of the most frequent questions presented to the
staff of the shounenai Bureau of Investigation. And I, Oba-Q, am here to
guide you through them. Once you have examined this document, do not forget
to go sign up to join the car pool. I'm the driver you know! ;)
1. Why did you decide to create this organization?
Answer: Because we're freaks.
Actually, we wanted to provide fans of the shounenai and yaoi genre with both information
and entertainment.
2. Why did you choose (insert name here) to run the (insert division or
department here)?
Answer: We chose characters that we liked and tried to place them in areas of the SBI that
would best suit their individual strengths. Agents are also chosen based on whether they
could be non-biased during investigations. However, a couple of agents, who shall remain
nameless, have managed to weasel their way into becoming agents through less than
honourable means.
3. What is the difference between official and unofficial debriefing sites?
Answer: Official debriefing sites were contacted and were asked for their permission to be
linked to from our page. Whereas, unofficial sites are those which allow anyone to link to
them (no questions asked) or are the only existing site for a particular series that for
some reason could not be
contacted. However, we do try our best to contact sites to obtain their approval.
4. I didn't think you emphasized the differences between the anime and manga. You
should clearly state which one you are writing about, since they are often so different,
and done at very different times.
Answer: [Q-chan fights back tears] But we worked so bravely! [The Asst.
Director shoves Q-chan out of the way to answer herself] You do have a point there...
However, we at the Bureau tend to see the Yaoi Files as a "glorified links
page." I am more concerned with getting someone interested in a series and sending
them to a de-briefing site which can elaborate on the finer points. Our information on
series comes from numerous sources (from firsthand experience to video reviews and even
just posters) and occasionally we don't even know the differences between the anime and
manga forms. Sometimes, as in the case of "Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon," the
differences are too great for us to even attempt to go into. We will try to be more
specific in our investigations (at least in those without de-briefing sites), but I am
still hopeful that our visitors and agents will assist us in gathering information and
making our site the best it can be. [Q-chan drives the carpool van in and rams the
Asst. Director] Don't apologize for our stringent efforts!
5. Who is the most intelligent and gorgeous agent of the SBI?
Answer: Oba-Q of course!
