As someone who usually writes shippy fan fic I always feel a bit ridiculous saying Romance (note capital 'R') is not in general my thing anyway, no matter the combination.
...but the brilliant thing about getting into watching BLs is how many of them do actually have a plot beyond the snogging.
Unfortunately, I'm not sure it's always for the best reasons in that I think part of it may be trying to avoid showing too much of the BL relationship on screen while still being able to market it as BL... but then I'm a cynic. Of course there are obvious exceptions to this like , HIStory3: Trapped, a personal favourite.
I do know I enjoy watching the short series/short run BL shows that are basically just the romance, much to my surprise, but I wonder how well I'd do with it in a longer format.
I try to 'never say never' to most things and as someone with a relatively recent exposure to BLs, who knows?
