Brainstorming for new story- A Fantasy Adventure Tale with a cute cat shifter and his human mate


When my muse is running, I don't always go in one direction. :o  This one, I've actually written one chapter of already.

-The Setting begins in a modern town called Cooksville in the United States. It's going to shift to Alteria, a fantasy world with various magical creatures and shifter species, along with humans.

-This story is going to be dual 1st-person narrative, a type of writing I haven't done in quite some time.

-The first main character will be named Kevin Kidd: fourteen years old, male, short height, skinny body, red hair, green eyes, angular nose, deaf with portable hearing aids, near-sighted with glasses, and introverted. Kevin is a high school freshman, who gets bullied a lot in school. Kevin enjoys reading fantasy web novels and manga, dreaming of being a hero despite his various bodily limitations. 

-The second main character is Nico: a cat shifter, crown Prince of Catland kingdom in the world of Alteria, thirteen years old, male, tall for his age, average body with some baby fat, blond and white hair, green eyes, flat nose, possessive personality towards Kevin, and extroverted. Originally, his people are not named until their age of ascension at 18 by their masters or parents, who they inherit skills and titles from, or a special lover grants them a courtesy name to identify them as their betrothed mate (Sort of like a Wedding Ring). Kevin names him, Nico, after Kevin rescues Nico from some high school bullies, who torture him and attempt to burn him alive.

-Nico fled his world due to his uncle, the regent of Catland, who usurp the royal family and framed him for treason. Nico had learned that his uncle has been secretly conspiring with the Demons, beings from another world, to take over Alteria by undermining the fragile alliance between the shifter-human-demihuman kingdoms. Nico hoped to find allies with equal magical power to the demon lord in order to reverse the situation, so he ended up on Earth through a random portal. However, upon entering the human world, he discovers he can't shift into his human form and is stuck in his cat form.

Spoiler

-(Future Plot- the Demons are inorganic lifeforms, who do not have legs or mouths. Their bodies are made of metals and plastics. They fire projectiles that do explosive or kinetic damage)

-This story will have some comedy, I want to play off the human and cat dynamic between Kevin and Nico. Kevin won't know he's courting Nico and Nico will think Kevin is being too forthright with his affections by touching him in sensitive areas :P

Honestly, even on the danger of repeating myself as I asked the same question on another story proposal, why are the MC's so young?

Give them ten years and you can do a really great adventure.

The world sounds really interesting, but this really doesn't work for me with these stats. The kids are really not relatable for me.

This is more a YA story with fluffier themes, literally and figuratively. It's a hero's journey and modern fantasy tale with a disabled character, who I think fits better in this story than the vampire one. This story is going to be a lot lighter and have a few laughs for cat owners. It's easier to write and I already have 2 chapters now.

The "real" Vampire one is more mature and social commentary material on society, mortality, and human value. I want to go into dark places in that one. Hence why I haven't written chapter 1 yet on that one.

I'm debating on whether to release the chapter for Christmas to test waters or wait until next year.

Do you think there's enough room in reader's hearts for a fluffy cat shifter adventure story.

Definitely, I love shifter stories and I love ones that differ from the normal shifter.
