I like magical girl stuff a lot and I want to get some intuition for how to write it so I can use it in roleplays. I'm guessing a lot of that is just making sure I have a lot of exposure to the genre while also trying to actually pay attention to tropes and how they do things, though adapting stuff from anime into a format that's purely text seems nontrivial. There's gotta be fanfics at the very least that I can look at to get a hint for how to approach that.
I specifically feel like there's actually a lot of potential in crossing magical girl stuff together with Care Bear stuff, and that's what https://toyhou.se/7023679.rosy-sky is meant to explore. It's something I'm really passionate about and I want to give myself the tools to really fully realize it. I have two other people who would want to play the role of other critters on her team and I think I could have a lot of fun!
For instance, take a look at this intro, which really feels like it has 80s anime intro vibes and "power of friendship/love" theming: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2lpeFfAA2LQ
@asie I wasn't sure if there would be novels in the genre or not (probably not for any series I'm familiar with?) so I'd have to go looking around. I would expect comics to generally just show rather than describe, though I have seen them just kind of narrate over stuff before.
