BASICALLY discussion of a yuri version of the usual isekai style story.
I'm thinking of doing the traditional 'Summoned hero VS Demon Lord' plot, but it's a Demon Queen and she falls for the heroine. Leading to various complications.
It will likely also parody some of the usual series... need to figure that out of course.
Thoughts?

First we need to define the world and characters that come from it. Since you're mentioning the fact that this is going to be a parody I'm guessing that the setting is not going to take itself seriously, so standard D&D with people conscious of both their stats and classes, maybe even having the distintion between PCs and NPCs. or are you going for something like a JRPG in style?

Well. It is extremely broad plot seed. But it is decent enough for a start?
Yeah, having polity with their own goal (and characters to represent those) would be great. Mm, not entirely sure about having demon queen fall in love with MC. Either she should be first girl (or at least early), or just go blazing harem style.
(or maybe defeating demon queen is just half the battle, the actual plot is managing all the rival factions to not tussle after demon queen is defeated)
As said. Way too many possibilities.

Hmm, some ideas:
1. The MC isn't the first person summoned to this world. Others were brought in and were given a choice for their starting class. However, while others chose things like being a super strong fighter or a powerful wizard, he chose to be a bard with max charisma. As in he totally maxed out his charisma. The result is that he has a super sweet ass, a voice like melted chocolate, he's finally lost all those pounds from his previous diet of pizza and mountain dew, and everyone is attracted to him. Girls, boys, animals, some monsters, etc. Basically, the traditional thing with the main character being a chick magnet is justified by him choosing a weird gimmick class that maxes out his charisma.
2. His bard powers also include a bunch of oddball things like increased luck, rerolling failed checks, a bizarre knowledge of a wide variety of subjects and skills since he put so many points into knowledge(geography) or craft(macaroni and cheese). And of course his spell list includes things like prestidigitation and Unseen Servant which he uses to do all his chores (the unseen servant might have a personality of it's own and occasionally prove smarter than him or his allies, even if it can't talk. Also, he's pretty sure the unseen servant has a female shape and it slaps him when he tries feeling it).
3. Due to his poor stats in most other areas, he is grossly unqualified to being a party leader... but he is anyway due to his high social skills which everyone else in his party chose as a dump stat. During actual adventuring, a more competent party member does the leading while his contribution tends to be using a little healing magic and his out of place attempts to inspire the other party members (might even involve him getting a pair of pom-poms and literally cheering his teammates from the sidelines instead of singing a bard song). His party kind of hates him during their adventure, but are more than happy to drag him to the forefront when they need someone with diplomacy skills.
Alternately, he's some kind of cross-class Barbarian Bard. A choice he chose specifically to give himself an excuse to get rock-hard abs and walk around in a loincloth (even though other people with the Barbarian class don't do that). The result is a guy with high strength, high charisma, low intelligence and wisdom, and a smattering of magical skills and random knowledge. He calls himself Conan the Bardbarian.

Why and how the demon queen falls in love with the MC?
Tis' was nice and all, but what part of "yuri" genre you didn't really get?

Just change all instances of he to she and the name to Conana. Profit.
If you wanna go for parody, you could have the main character be pretty suave and know it.

And now, I'm pondering some kind of (true) Spanish Prisoner (non-)scam. As a bonus, it also scratch the itch for the famed female knight x (demon) princess!
MC got the letter. Could even be email, it is isekai after all. The letter says the sender is princess, wrongly deposed from her throne, etc. You know the drill. Please send x money, thanks!
Short version is MC demand proof, and get isekai'ed. Maybe she'd sent some money (or equivalent) before demanding proof, too. Maybe it's not money, instead random trinkets that can be found in modern world, whether quartz or plutonium.
Then of course they adventure to get back her throne!

Depends if you're going for shoujo, shoujo-ai or full blown yuri I think. (For young girls, emotional aspects of relationships or more adult themed aspects respectively)
Themes may defer really.
If the focus is on the SI and Demon Queen, the core characters should be fleshed out with more than just shallow attraction. Or if the initial attraction is supposed to be shallow, develop it into something more accordingly. Respect, admiration, guilt, shame, uncertainty, sincerity are some subjects you can approach to character arcs.
Especially if the DQ is not a wronged villain but an actual villain. Add in fantasy elements such as generic plot devices like love potions, pair rituals or competing love interests from the princely hero side. Or perhaps more nuanced developments, like having the appearance of a past love, a prophecy or even possible destiny deconstructed with cynical realism of the SI.

Well two recent anime are probably good references, "That time I was reincarnated as a Slime" and "How not to summon a demon lord" come to mind.
As for the, not the first person to be isekai'd in well, you could have your heroine be coming in the footsteps of the traditional overpowered male harem protagonist. Basically following in his footsteps picking up the pieces and discarded lovers and such in the wake of his rather draconian onslaught. I mean, it would be interesting to be cleaning up after someone else's power fantasy. At least so I think.

I'm thinking something like 'After killing Slimes for 100 years I maxed out My Level' too. Basically fairly light in tone, and hopefully comedy-ish. I have a 'prelude' bit worked out in my head, I'll try to get it done this afternoon.

I don't know how to setup the whole conflict background and motivation of faction but I have an idea how to hook the two up early:
Basically DQ gets wind of summoning; goes to eliminate Hero early while Hero still weak. Since DQ is expecting a male hero, wants to do an seduction and assassinate plot. When entering the inn where Heroes are resting encounters Yuri and mistakes her for a companion. Strikes up conversation with Yuri to get info on Hero, gets charmed by (or simply attracted to) Yuri. As DQ wants to initiate her plan to kill the Hero, Yuri reveals self as the summoned Hero. DQ gets flustered, leaves.
After many hijinks and plots ensue.
Edit:
In references to mangas : "I Reincarnated into an Otome Game as a Villainess With Only Destruction Flags..." would be more appropriate since the MC is getting female admirers but that is mostly by accident

This is such a damn good idea. Maybe at the end she beats the living dogshit out of the asshole bro.
He's like "why?" And she's like. Cause you're a dick!"

...Here's a webcomic with a similar idea (MC falls in love with the demon queen) can't remember the name though, there the MC became pretty high level because when she was little she was kidnapped by a masochist high level monster that forced her to hurt him constantly, which made her level up pretty fast.

I'll admit I was mostly thinking of Konosuba when I saw the prompt (and yes, I guess I totally forgot what Yuri means).
One really nice thing about Konosuba's setup is that the setting's gods are directly involved in the Isekai process. The protagonist dies, a goddess from the destination world offers to let them skip the normal afterlife/reincarnation process to be a hero in their world, and even offers a powerful "cheat" item to improve their odds. Then, as we see the story unfold we can see the goddesses have their own religions and followers in the world.
Actually, what if there are multiple demon lords and queens all fighting eachother in the world and the Demon Queen is the one who summons or resurrects the heroine?
Like, at first there was one demon Lord and his lieutenants trying to conquer the world, then a shining hero was summoned and slew him, then all the lieutenants started fighting eachother for power (perhaps even sealing the original demon Lord away themselves because they hated working under him) and while the demons are all stupidly fighting eachother, the various good guy races set up a bunch of sacred barriers that bar demons from their land?
Each barrier or land-affecting spell weakens or repells powerful demons or monsters while letting weaker ones through, justifying why monsters are stronger in some areas.
The demon Queen meanwhile realizes these barriers limit her ability to actually invade human lands (most demon demon leaders send their strongest monsters to fight other demons while only sending the weak ones at the protected human lands). So, she makes a plan to summon a the heroine from another world, give her one or two pieces of strong equipment, and send her to either infiltrate human lands or fight the demon Queen's rivals.
Cue a situation where the protagonist is in constant communication with a scantily clad demoness ordering her around, the heroine has to hide her connection with the demoness from the church, she might find herself in positions where the demon Queen's other more monstrous minions are around to give her help and she has to pretend to drive them off if other humans are watching, or the heroine has to try curbing the monster's various chaotic evil tendencies to get things done.
Bonus points if the demon Queen is actually one of the weakest and poorest lieutenants and is hoping getting an Isekai heroine on her side will give her the edge to defeat all her rivals. The standard kleptomaniac hero trope is partially justified by the demon Queen herself wanting lots of cash to fund her operations and is tired of living in some crappy starting area dungeon located in a tree or sewer or located behind a waterfall or something. She might even be the "first boss" of the game where starting adventurers can reliably break into her dungeon and steal her stuff
The only reason she's still around is because either she specializes in resurrection magic to resurrect herself and her minions every few days (as opposed to the more powerful lords who need years or centuries to regenerate), or the humans consider her such a low threat that they avoid permanently destroying her to keep a more dangerous demon from taking her place.

not gonna lie. I really wanna see this now. Like really badly.

Previous protagonist goes and be bad, new protagonist tries to fix it?
I suppose it is a nice start. We're still back at defining the world and polity.

"So, I was summoned here by the High Priest to be the new 'Legendary Hero.' Which annoyed me at first, though I will admit my career back home as a Starbucks Barista wasn't exactly going gangbusters," Gabrielle admitted
"Huh?" the scribe blinked
"Never mind. Anyway, They equipped me with the Hero's Sword, and I headed out to vanquish the Demon Lord," Gabrielle remembered.
"Hiii," the former Demon Lord waved cheerfully. The red head was very beatiful, with a shapely figure and attractive features.
The scribe waved back weakly. "How did this happen?" she asked.
"Well, I fought a few of her minions, and then I fell into a portal leading to her chambers," Gabrielle revealed.
"Being the Demon Lord was really, REALLY boring," Devas revealed. "Oh, I fought Gabrielle as required in the Demon Lord manual, but my heart wasn't in it. PLus," she looked over at Gabrielle, "just LOOK at her. She's so handsome!"
Gabrielle blushed. She really was cute... a nice combination of boyish features and womanly good looks.
"So you surrendered to the Hero and abdicated?" the scribe asked.
"Well, there was no other way to end it. And I wanted to get to know her better," Devas gave Gabrielle a look that could be described as 'sultry.'
"We kind of screwed up, though," Gabrielle admitted. "It seems that Devas as the Demon Lord was the only thing restraining her higher level minions. Once she quit, they scattered."
"Oh dear," the scribe paled
"And abdicating cost me a fair bit of Demon Lord specific power," Devas admitted
"So now we're trying to round up the lesser monsters together...." Gabrielle revealed
