Saint Seiya Yaoi was a message board for Saint Seiya yaoi in Spanish. It also hosted contests, events for character birthdays, and fanwork exchanges. Some of the sections were fanclubs and ship shrines where members discussed ships and shared fanworks. It also had an RPG.

The forum was first hosted on miarroba, a free hosting service. Due to miarroba constant offline and lag, it was later moved to a different address, leaving the miarroba forum up like an archive. Saint Seiya Yaoi closed in 2022. It was briefly online again at the start of 2023, to leave users time to backup their fanworks.

Ficsotones

A "ficsotón" was a kind of challenge unique to the Saint Seiya Yaoi forum. Every ficsotón had a different theme. Most of them were about ships, but there were also special ones such as a christmas ficsotón and a songfics one. Ficsotones had a number or fics that needed to be written before the end of a deadline in order for it to be declared successful. Fics had to be 1500 words or more to qualify. There was a thread where forum users could suggest ships for future ficsotones.
