We’re in the final week of the magnifiqueNOIR Kickstarter! We may have a long way to go but a lot can happen in a week! There’s still time to bring these magical girls to life! Keep sharing, keep pledging, keep talking about it, keep at it! We can definitely make this work <3 <3 <3
Remember: You are Magical :)
There’s a city. It’s like most other cities. Buildings. People. Monsters who can destroy sidewalks by vomiting acid onto the ground, and an elite group of black, queer, magical girls who work to put those monsters in their place.
See? Just like most other cities.
Bree Danvers would’ve compared it to a video game, maybe a cartoon or comic book, except black girls are rarely the heroines of the story. But there her heroine stood, plus sized and wonderful, rocking a dazzling amount of purple and defeating monsters with galactic sparkles. Galactic Purple, that was her name, and soon, Bree was joining her on a magical adventure full of transformations and after school battles to defend a city like most other cities.
And soon, others would join them, and each one would be magical in their own way… give or take a few bumps on the acid covered ground.
AND WE’RE LIVE!!! The Kickstarter for the first book in my magical girl book series is ready to go! The series focuses on a group of black, queer, magical girls who save the world with sparkles, sass, and fabulous hair. The first book, “I Am Magical,” is the start of the adventure, and will be a full-length novel with full colored picture inserts and mini one-shot comics. There are all sorts of fun early bird extras, exclusives, freebees, add-ons, tiers, stretch goals… THE WORKS!
The Kickstarter is HERE! Thank you to everyone who pledges and/or shares the magic :)
UPDATE! We just crossed $2,500! THANK YOU SO MUCH, EVERYONE!!! Keep sharing, keep promoting, keep using #magnifiqueNOIR, keep doing everything! Let’s bring these girls to life <3 <3 <3
