Let's have a BL Novel Showcase! (I want to find BL novels to read!)

[MaeRose]

Aw thank you! Oh yeah, I saw this on the browse page the other day! I'll definitely have a read!

[domisotto]

I would love to join this group! My first BL novel is going to start posting at the end of this month as I am still preparing the chapters to ensure the smooth publication. I am crazy worried about the reception, because it's not steamy, it is gentle and romantic.

Title: Alpha: Free Spirit
Genres: BL, Sci-Fi, Fantasy
Summary:

Starved in the state-run orphanage because he is allergic to all carbs known to mankind, surly Volya is secretly over the moon to be hand-picked for a luxurious internship with a pop-star.

But when his idol calls up an ancient debt—a 5,000 years old ancient debt—to save an innocent from a curse, Volya must plug in his werewolf instincts into the sci-fi tech or go off the grid.

And while he is at it, his heart is torn between his oldest friend and the enigmatic heartthrob.

Will your novel contain mature love scenes?: No

[MaeRose]

Don't worry! The plot sounds really interesting, so I'm sold!

My main purpose of this thread is to connect with like-minded BL authors and share work, so you are more than welcome here!

[MaeRose]

Thanks for sharing! I haven't read fantasy BL before, so I'll have a read!

[MaeRose]

Btw, could I ask for some advice? How are you able to share your stories as a banner on here (box with a cover pic and description)? Mine just comes up as a text link.

[domisotto]

You can either add / info (without a space) to the end of your link, or browse to the title page of your story that would do it for you and copy it

[MaeRose]

Omg, how did I not notice that?? Thank you so much!!

Title: Boldfaced
Genres: BL, Action, Comedy
Summary: As the gopher for a television studio, Blair Holliday’s priorities are making sure the suits get pressed, the coffees stay hot, and the cars run on time. But, when a simple errand goes horribly right, he’s thrown headlong into a spectacular world of espionage and intrigue. Now, under cover, under fire, and under the wing of one surly actor, Blair must keep his head above water—or risk drowning full-stop.

Will your novel contain mature love scenes?: Ayyyy, you know it lol. (Though, full disclosure, it’s not immediate. I wouldn’t call it a slowburn, more like a… simmer, haha. We’re gonna “step on the gas” soon~)

Sidebar: Your story seems like a lot of fun from what I read of it so far! (I’m subbed but I haven’t been able to catch up because of work, rip)

[Crusoe]

Welcome to tapas! I hope you'll have a nice time here!

title: fair, no fair
Genres BL, drama, romance
Summary: Simon Fisher is a selfproclaimed loser longing for his former best friend Joey Burgundy, who is a very popular guy. However, there is one problem: Joey absolutely despises Simon and he has no idea why. This creates tension when they are put together in one room during their school trip. Their forced stay may give Simon a change to reconnect with Joey, but maybe the tension from the past will come to haunt them.

Will your novel contain mature love scenes? Yes, in the future. Not yet, but I do have one coming up.

Title: Do You Believe In Magic
Genre: BL, light fantasy, slice of life
Summary: Jake is wary when a new guy attempts to befriend him. After all, it seems the whole school hates him. Damien’s interest leaves Jake torn, wondering if it’s another vicious prank while yearning for a real friendship, untouched by the pain of his past. Now, Jake needs proof that Damien is genuine before the school shuns them both — and he has to figure it out before Damien takes his rejections to heart.

Will your novel contain mature love scenes?: Umm, yes, but not overly explicit

Oh, thank you! I can always upgrade to a steamier version if the sweet one is too out of touch.

[WillowTree]

I think you'll be fine with a sweet one! Mine's not exactly steamy. (I don't think it is at least)
