I'm seeking beta readers for Blue Horizon's upcoming LGBT adventurous science fantasy light novel, "The Protector's memory of them under the sunlight."

It's around 75 to 100 pages, AKA 30k words long. This light novel will have a free-to-read version in the future, so I've decided to preview partial excerpts of the first chapter.

You can find a 5-page excerpt of chapter 1 here! The full 32-page excerpt is free-to-read within that link and also linked below.

The full 32-page excerpt can be found (free-to-read) here:

ON ITCHIO.

ON GUMROADS.

(Transcription of the summary can be found in those links.)

Message me on Twitter, Tumblr or email me via nailamoonsi@proton.me if you're interested in beta reading!

I'm willing to do a swap of around the same range of word count (up to 60k or so). I'll only do so many swaps, and only if I'm personally curious enough.

Content warning of what's within the book (not as much as in the epic science fantasy): There's a creepy "bloody" monster within the otherworld, suicide imagery, an attempted [gay] stabbing, and mourning for a dead sibling.

The Protector's memory of them under the sunlight. By Naila Moonsi. Summary: The people of a human-inhabited planet 100,000 light years away want their newly-titled Protector of Worlds to gain in power. Alejandro Altaha, the newest Protector of Worlds amid a very long lineage, is pressured to seek the strength of passed planetary Protectors--those who were chosen by a mystical 'artifact' to aid in reducing the curses that have long-plagued their planet. After confirming that he must travel through the dangerous otherworld known as the Boundless for the sake of such an endeavor, Alejandro is shocked by his teacher, Guardian Kiyotaka Miura, coming to him with a specific request-- Take several members of that mighty family he grew up with--the ill-rumored Chandrani progeny of Jowar Peaks--together with him as his bodyguards. Including the extremely disgraced man of immense power who Alejandro once loved and still can't let go of-- Antonio Chandrani-Rivera, the person confirmed to be cursed several years prior, exactly as many upon the planet expected. He must approach that Antonio to ascertain his allegiance. After that… After that, he and several old friends must survive the Boundless, full of monsters called 'the Psyche' and dreamy trials of the mind. Does every single person at his side really have his best interests at heart? Is Antonio really as cursed as people say? What are the true goals of Alejandro's long-lost friends? What will he do when the two women he trusts most leave him alone with Antonio to chase Earthian ghosts? Illustration: Layla has a red eye, eyepatch, and an odd smile going, is dark brown with wavy white-silver anime hair. She wears a light green suit with green shadow, and a red shirt. Alia has falling anime ocean blue curls, with a noticeable aqua highlight. She's smiling to herself and wears a blue-violet coat. Antonio has red eyes, a grin, has lighter ocean blue hair that falls like ocean waves, and has grabbed onto Alejandro, who looks a little shy, has long violet hair, dark pink dyed locks in front of him, and he's wearing a pink shirt, as is looking back at Antonio. They both have slight blushes.

Have decided that I want to have a post up with the light novel (novella)'s title and summary since it doesn't spoil that much at this point (due to Twitter pitches and site + comic lore dump) and looks a bit cute. There are a few worldbuild notes that are still obscured (including the name of the "artifact").

This light novel will have a free version that only has black-and-white-and-grayscale illustrations and less bonus illustrations. :3

Dropping a near-copypaste of the recent blog post here since it mentions actual upcoming media~! For further notes check out this old Tumblr post that goes into how I wrote this light novel/novella up in 10 days. It's still a wild memory.

Short story previews and the main Blue Horizon: Bright Days, Sad Days website.

Apparently I meant to make a proper blog post here once the fifth short story was complete, but I dropped that post in "blog" instead about two months back. I've updated the webcomic links below with the main site link, which has additional character biographies and notes!

Instead of this page, I recommend following blog for more current and often every-few-days' updates.

Here's the blog post with the five short stories, with summaries and one-sentence previews!

Here's the main site link for Blue Horizon: Bright Days, Sad Days webcomic! It currently has 3 comics in webtoon style.


May 14, 2024:

A Blue Horizon Kickstarter is in the works!

It will get time to get everything I have planned ready! The current goals are:



The summaries, one-sentence-ish previews, and word counts for the first 5 Kickstarter short stories can be found here. 4 out of 5 are completed and edited! I'll make a proper blog post on here too once the fifth is properly completed and edited.

Existing Blue Horizon works!

[Last updated 07/16/2024 with so-far current information.]

Here's a currently short list of existing Blue Horizon works prior to the publishing of the epic science fantasy and the light novel:

The webcomic (webtoon) that will update whenever, and is a side series of silly or sad gay comics--

Antonio pulling Alejandro's arm against his chest, holding it. Antonio is smiling with furrowed brows at Alejandro while mostly submerged back against the ocean, with only his face and part of his head unsumbmerged.

Blue Horizon: Bright Days, Sad Days!

Comic last updated on 07/15/2024. It currently has 3 comics featuring Antonio Chandrani-Rivera and Alejandro Altaha being disastrous.

Here's the summary on the main site:

A comic panel where the young man with red eyes, blue hair like waves and blue panjabi Antonio Chandrani-Rivera is looking cockily with a grin at red-eyed violet-and-pink-haired Alejandro Altaha, who's looking down and blushing with a sweatdrop and exclamation mark. It says 'Blue Horizon: Bright Days, Sad Days' with a heart that says 'LGBT' above them. Below is the summary: 100,000 years in the future, on a far-off planet obsessed with Earth, Antonio Chandrani-Rivera and Layla Chandrani are part of a mysterious clan that protects their planet's humanoid populace from the incomprehensible and often cruel otherworld. Despite their work, there's something about the two of them that the people of the planet deem 'very off.' Why would the Protector of Worlds, Alejandro Altaha, care for them...? A slow exploration of Blue Horizon.

Feel free to follow for future comics of the like on the main site, Webtoons or Tumblr below...!

The main comic site. Has transcripts (AKA alt text) and additional character biographies.

Webtoons link for future silly or sad Blue Horizon comics!

Alternate Tumblr link of the first comic (which will link to the next, and each will link to one another), especially for alt text.


Next is the complete short story arc that can be read on Antonio Chandrani-Rivera's Tumblr character blog. First is the Neocities transcript link, and second is the original Tumblr link.


ANTONIO CHANDRANI'S DREAM BLOG. EARTH YEAR 2005. (Click to read.)

[04/21/2024.] Approximately 2500 words long. Told via Antonio Chandrani-Rivera's "secret" [Tumblr] blog and transcripted on Neocities.

Summary: The story follows Antonio's curiosity over a rare book Alejandro has gifted him that's encrypted with runes. He manages to break the spell on it and find out what Alejandro has hidden for him inside--and becomes upset, as it's a precious item the world over assumed Alejandro would give to his rumored potential beloved (the biggest rumored people being Khalida, Alia, Diego or Konna). When Antonio confronts Alejandro, Alejandro confesses that he thought that Antonio would trash the precious item.

(Here it is on the original Tumblr, though it's harder to read in order there.)


Instead of only to-dos, wanted to note those two works on this page too!


[Update 6/10/2024.]

March 01, 2024:

Blue Horizon, the actual name of "Another Sky" verse, will be a solo venture!

The top area says 'Blue Horizon (lgbt).' Antonio has red eyes, a grin, is brown, has lighter ocean blue hair that falls like ocean waves, and has grabbed onto Alejandro, who looks a little shy, is sienna brown, has long violet hair, fuschia eyes (a power-up of red eyes), dark pink dyed locks in front of him, and he's wearing a pink shirt, as is looking back at Antonio. They both have slight blushes.

I'm going to embark on a self-publishing path for "Another Sky"/Blue Rize, which were and are the nickname for Blue Horizon.

I'll be retiring "Another Sky" from now on! The series will officially be called "Blue Horizon." My personal nickname for it thus-far has been "Blue Rize." That isn't the name of the first book, which I will wait to reveal when I can drop a cover reveal.

I have Webtoon and Tapas parked for the webcomic I have planned.

Here's the summary for the webcomic:

At 21, Antonio Chandrani-Rivera isn't a beloved within his realm. He's what they call fallen, 'a curse.' But he must reach someone—the very man who lost Antonio's heart on that day their lives went awry and Antonio's identical twin Fernando died. That man is Alejandro Altaha, the current Protector of Worlds, and despite Antonio's cousin Layla attempting to curb danger at Alejandro's side, Antonio has learned of the devastation their plans will cost their far-off planet, and must stop it at once.

SO...

Alejandro has red eyes, light bronze skintone, a mysterious smile, long dark violet-red hair and long pinkish side bangs, and wears a tunic with weaving gold, blue and green design along the low collar and blue buttons. Behind him is the seashore with blue skies and white clouds.

[The triplet brothers, Raj + Antonio + Fernando. Their friends Alia + Layla + Alejandro below.]

The epic science fantasy first novel of Blue Horizon is complete, but although I have it pretty ship-shape, I'm going to make certain I have more revisions done, so it might take a while longer to drop, but not the likes of 2 or 3 years.

the 6 another sky ocs so far. raj is top left, and has long silver hair on one side with an undercut on the other, dark brown skin and browner eye tone, silver irises and a frown on his lips. white suit and violet-blue shirt with pink tie. antonio is top-middle with shoulder-length blue hair, red eyes, brown skin and a mysterious smile, wearing a dark blue sleeveless shirt. fernando at the end has dark hair as a long braid, gold eyes, brown skin and a cheerful smile, wearing half-open white shirt. behind the triplets green foliage. alia on the bottom-left has dark blue curls floating at the sides of her face, red eyes, dark brown skin, a determined smile, wears a dark blue coat with light blue lining and silver buttons and a pale shirt beneath. layla at bottom-center has wavy short anime silver hair, bronze skin, an amused smile, emerald shirt, maroon-red tie, and white suit. wears a tunic design. behind them is the seashore.

[Layla, Alia, Antonio and Alejandro!]

khaleel with silvery white hair (glittery) in many braids falling around him. he has brown skin, red eyes with light brown sclera and is looking toward leo with a contemplative frown, and yet his expression isn't harsh. he wears an aquamarine shirt with aqua buttons and light green highlights, as well as a shirt with wavy light green and grassy green v-neck shirt collar design. behind him is the left part of an aquamarine tree with a dark blue night sky with stars in it.   leo confidently looking toward khaleel with dark brown skin, spring green eyes and a relaxed smile. he has falling anime-white curls behind him that's implied to be tied. he wears a half-sleeved reddish pink shirt with a kaomoji that says O_O; (i.e. wide-eyed). behind him is center part of an aquamarine tree with a dark blue night sky with stars in it.

[Khaleel and Leo! The six of them make up the "Main 6."]

I'll try to get the light novel ship-shape as well so that I can drop them both around the same time!

It'll still take time, but I parked the names for Blue Horizon on Webtoons and Tapas! I put many of the early artwork as "Chapter 1" on there, as I've seen some people do.

Here is the Webtoon link if anyone wants to follow very early.

And here is the Tapas link if anyone wants to follow there very early.

I'll note when the first chapters actually update.
