Magical Boys WIP Intro

Saving their friend (and the whole world, I guess?) with the power of love, magic and being kinda gross.

Falling into a swamp is never fun, but it's worse when it turns out to be a magic swamp with a monster that kidnaps the most popular, princely and perfect guy in school.

It also transforms Billy and his two classmates, Beau and Younes, into very stereotypical magical boys —frills, sparkles and colour-coordinated outfits included.

Not only do they have to navigate this bizarre new world in form-fitting skirts and shorts, they have to do it quickly in order to rescue Arno before the monster that kidnapped him... tries to marry him?

Billy, Beau and Younes have quite a big task ahead of them and that's not even to mention the interpersonal drama teenagers can and will get into when it really isn't the time for it.

Based entirely on my love for the magical girl genre and everything it entails when it comes to modern fantasy romance with my own gay and trans spin on it.

A three-part story catered to a (queer) young adult audience.

Current status: book 1 draft 1 finished, writing draft 2

Third person limited | Multiple POVs | present tense

In case you're interested in following along while i'm writing this story. I will be tagging it as "#magical boys wip" for as long as it doesn't have an official title, and let me know if you want to be added to a taglist, so I can start one up.

Character introductions for the boys!

Currently reading The Imperial Uncle by Da Feng Gua Guo and you know a book is good when you're in the middle of reading it and you already want to reread it from the beginning just to see all the little details you missed on the first go around.

Going into this book completely blind was the best decision I've ever made. The story so far has left me flabbergasted and "crying, screaming, throwing up" at 3 am on a weekday.

Hey Saran,

As for my inspiration, I get it from anywhere, but for my most recent project I get it from my co-worker talking about the dumb, frankly ridiculous things her teenage son gets up to 🤭🤭
