Alluring Yet Enterprising: Stepping into the World of Author Chanele Ramos

Leave a comment

Dreams are pretty fickle unless they are recognized as a fervent reality. In the past, I have interviewed quite a few US-based MM Romance authors who were fascinated with the BL culture, either because they drew inspiration from them or they were dormant fans of the said genre. In the midst of them, we have one novelist who not only dared to publish a BL novel while being based abroad but has also realized the dream of adapting her original work.

A gripping tale set in Bangkok’s nightlife, featuring an unprecedented partnership between two sworn rivals, Chanele Ramos’ “Allure of the Siren” captures human connection, resilience, and the ceaseless pursuit of truth.

“Spaceless” Movie Review

Leave a comment

In essence, this 20-minute short film imparts more than most BLs do in 12 episodes. Ironically, it also goes deeper emotionally than most BLs ever go as well. Additionally, it is one of the best acted BLs from Thailand I have seen in a long time. So, in that sense, this film is genuinely a paragon.
