Any BLs mixed w Superhero, Horror, Scifi, Fantasy or Action genres? Share them here! (Comics, Novels & Art)

Oh, I'm more of a writer than an artist so I'm more prone to look for a good plot. (Genres aren't really the main focus in my search for new stories to read.) As for video games, I don't really partake in them outside of the ones on my phone.

Hi @Kann Nice to meet you! Your comics look awesome. The Aoihito sound interesting, love parallel world tales and conspiracies. I was inspired by the man from Taured urban legend for another project I'm working on. Have you ever heard about that one?
Your panels have a unique touch, I like the painterly effect of the image edges and the mixture of bright colors. Your OCs green and blue hair look awesome and gives them an eye-catching appearance.
TMoN looks awesome too, sounds relatable as it seems to pull on similar heartstrings as I ̶n̶ASB (my project). You did an excellent job capturing the night scenes too. Nice use of highlights & I like the soft feel of the bubbles
Just like the witch would play a pivotal role in steering your hero's self discovery and making new friends, a mysterious hum is the instigator for my protagonists. spoilers -cough- There are those who once heard the hum in ancient times, they echo themes of Dark Fantasy too.
Keep up the hard work! I gave you a sub on both also.

For me I still worry how people will respond to an Action x Sci-Fantasy x Horror where BL isn't the immediate factor, so it's motivating to see how you and others handle it.
1st 25 subs get a special thankyou with their username included.

Thanks again for sharing, I look forward to more of yours & keep up the hard work

Nice you're a writer, how has it been for you getting your project out there? I'm still kinda new to the promoting. Yea same here, love strong plots vs specific genres.
Awesome you like mobile games! Yeah there are lots of interesting mobile games that break the typical gaming mold. It's fascinating to see how they handle replay value (to keep customers
engaged). Funny I've always always stuck to console but recently started playing one called Darkness Rises on mobile. What are some of your faves?

[stiatent]

also sorry for the slow responses everyone, I got busy this week. I'm so happy at the many responses and look forward to checking them all out
I will follow back anyone who follows me, I'm not picky about genres & it's fun to support everyone's hard work to keep them motivated

[MovieNut14]

I'm still sketching out the plot outline. Also, I've been tasked with writing for others as well so it's a balance between projects.

As for games, I quite like AFK Arena and Guardian Tales.

[stiatent]

Sweet, AFK arena looks awesome, it's one I wanted to check out, will take your word for it then I'll YouTube the Guardian Tales too.

Yeah don't give up on yours hope you find the time to work on yours too. That's nice you been collaborating with others also, great networking too for your future personal projects. Keep up the hard work

[Kann]

Thanks a lot! I'm really glad you liked my series.

While my novel focus mostly on the horror and fantasy elements, there's a budding romance between the two male leads!

Sete is a city that never sleeps: at the eastmost of the fake islands created by men, it exists as a parasite that devours the Source of all life, feeding the everhungry Federation, but such is the land of humans in a world of magic — and yet, in this clockwork city, Samuel finds himself alone. His only company? The unreadable book hidden beneath his bed, and the foreign sorcerer by the sea whose name he doesn’t know.
However, he isn’t the one who keeps secrets.

https://tapas.io/series/ttotg

Originally, it wasn't meant to have romance, but I couldn't deny the chemistry between the male leads carrying the story, so I've reworked it instead to have them romantically involved instead. The mysterious nature of the foreign Sorcerer plays into the mystery and fantasy elements of the series, in a way presenting him as the "supernatural love interest". Does he really fit that description? It's hard to say. But Samuel's feelings towards him initially are of fascination, horror and awe, and slowly change into something more as he fashions himself into a mage and gets to know the truth of the "laws" of this world. Ultimately, it's a novel about a "journey", and how different people might take different paths to the same destination -- will this cause conflict, or will this be what saves them? Those are the questions I want to explore...

Nice! we on similar fields. Nice to see you're inspired by urban fantasy and games too. Mines started as a game idea Action/ Survival Horror where the player must avoid infecting npcs. Higher infected= harder enemies.
I like your world devouring itself aspect, that's real cool.
Shinichi's design and hair looks awesome too! He looks like someone who will chill with my dudes
Excellent job on the art too, there was a time I heavily debated going novel, storybook, 2d or 3d. So nice to see you did the writing and still found a way to promote your art for the visual media. And yeah no sweat, haven't dived into the BL just yet for mines either. I hear ya, seeing how other creatives handle the BL as a subplot does make me feel more at home with you guys
In your preproduction, was it ever a debate for you if the bl should be secondary or main? Just curious, if you don't mind.

Excited to see Shinichi's lucky guy!

Also what's 3 of your fave videogames?

Keep up the hard work, looks very interesting!

currently doing follow 4 follow if that's ok.
1st 25 subs get a special thankyou image tailored to the subber.

[stiatent]

hope u check out mines will really mean alot!
Ur welcome keep up the hard work!

[stiatent]

Nice I remember meeting you on another forum Your story sound's cool I imagine a lot of high stakes & sweet internal conflicts happening w Ayen falling for the rival. It's real nice seeing others with BL as the subplot. And including the host of LGBTQ+ characters is very thoughtful! Keep up the hard work!

will follow 4 follow
1st 25 subs get an image with a special thankyou message to the subber (includes their username)

[stiatent]

thanks everyone so far for the messages, sorry again for being slow, will respond to you guys whenever I get downtime. Hope you guys comment & support each other's works meantime too

[tamapochi]

Thank you!! I'm glad that you found Shinichi's design cool. It's also my first time seeing a 3D comic it looks super cool! I can see the video game aspect as well, the first chapter reminded me of an FPS game. My novel is mostly inspired by MMOs, even stole the terminologies from WoW wiki xD I subbed to your comic! Looking forward to future episodes

For my novel, I never really debated on whether the BL should be secondary or main (the action was always the main focus in my mind) but I did contemplated on how blatant I want the BL to be. I even considered to just scrap the BL idea xD Yet when I considered the overall plot again and saw how closely tied these two's stories were, it felt like I was queerbaiting without it. And I really liked the idea of Shinichi and Ime (the ML) together as well so it stayed.

Hm, favourite video games... I've played a lot of video games but I guess the ones that really left a big impression on me would be the Souls games and Bloodborne. Bloodborne especially, considering I'm pretty much a big fan of themes related to lovecraft and all that cosmic fear stuff xD Honestly, I've even incorporated those stuff into my own novel as well.

I did do a drawing of Shinichi and his man (he won't be a very lucky guy in my novel though ). Haven't finished it so consider it a sneak peak

It's a bit of a horror/paranormal romance, and it'll be exploring and addressing some the unhealthy aspects of the romanticized vampire lover trope. To the point that there's gonna be more than one book, and these two don't end up together in the first one.

[burgundy]

Thank you so much
I love writing inclusive stories.

[LettieK]

I'm subscribing! Your writing is well done, and I LOVE LOVE LOVE your illustrations! (low-key jealous of creators who can write and draw)

It's funny because my novel is exactly what you described as the unhealthy-romanticized-vampire-lover trope. Though I'm hoping to present it in a way that shows how tragic it really is for my main character.

I'll be checking out your other stuff too!
(also, I don't expect the subscribe-for-subscribe thing)

[BOMB]

The God Of Summer Storms is a medieval gay fantasy. The story has two sides, the first being the main characters war against the world, and the other being his war against himself. And throughout everything he's learning to be more himself. I'd say more but I don't want to give too much away.

Yep, this thread is speaking my language.

Here’s my sci-fi, post-apocalyptic BL story. Complete with human hybrids and mafia gangsters! What more could you want?

This is my novel:
It is a cyberpunk BL. My stories main character Jax is trying to learn who he is, and who he was. This story has lots of twists and turns as Jax learns about his past. The character is also faced with the growing feelings that he has for a coworker (the BL develops slowly througout the story).
