B-Idol summary and progress update
Horribly late doing this as I know it's been over a month since I promised doing summaries for what I'm writing. I just fail like that. ORZ
Okay, starting off with the series that looks like I might actually finish one day as I've made the most progress with it, is B-Idol. I was labeling it as Boy-CH, but I think B-Idol fits the series much better. It's something I kinda started when I got into the Johnny's Entertainment boy bands. I know there's quite a few fans that write RPF/RPS for the JE boys, but I don't feel 100% comfortable with writing that so I decided I would just create my own idol world for any plot bunnies I would get. So I've probably been working on this for almost a year, though I haven't gotten far with it.
Basically it's a BL/yaoi/shounen-ai/whatever you want to call the genre story about Japanese boy bands. It's kinda set up that this first book can be a stand alone or a bigger part of a series unlike the other books I'm trying to write. I think it will end up being a series as I want to write about the side characters more. But the two main characters in the first story are part of two different boy bands but are attached to the same company, Tomura Entertainment Group. The basic set up is that the company is doing a special promotion by making temporary groups with different members of their various groups. This puts Shoji Kawamori, 20, and Akihide Tougo, 26, together as a duo. Shoji has been a big fan of Akihide for years and already has a crush on Akihide. And the feelings just get stronger the more Shoji gets to know his idol but he's afraid to confess them as he's already been horribly burned before.
I know it's not the most original of plots but it's easy to write and with the cast I've built up it would be difficult to juggle so many characters in something more complicated than that at my current skill level. Plus I prefer character driven stuff than plot so it works well with my likes.
I think another reason I like writing this because I don't feel like I need to be too serious over it. Though I know I'm going to be scared to death about asking other people to read it, as I still need to work on improving my writing skills but I won't get anywhere if I don't try and ask others for their C&C. But I think I would much rather have this be my first foray into writing a novel as it is something I can just enjoy doing and not worry too much about. Plus it gives me another excuse to fangirl over JE boy bands as I can say it's for research. XD;;
