Moon + Seraph Pitch Week

Witch Hunter Robin X Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. X Blood+

A serial in three arcs (Sunrise, High Noon, & Sunset)

SolCorp was founded to hide the existence of knacked people and their myriad of superhuman powers from the world, keeping humans safe from out-of-control knacks and keeping knacked people safe from human intolerance. So when they discover that one rogue Sol scientist had generated 25 babies with a defective Probability Manipulation knack and abandoned them out in the world fourteen years ago, it's up to SolCorp to find them and bring them back. But maybe their knacks weren't so defective after all because as three of the Venus 25 grow into adulthood, improbable things start happening. Things that will change SolCorp and the world forever. Sunset is a slow-burn of mounting tension and stakes that only get higher with expansive worldbuilding and a majority LGBTQIA+ ensemble cast that has something for everyone from espionage to adventure to romance and even a dash of monster hunting.

Themes

found family

revolution vs mega-corp

coming of age (older teen)

growth and healing

love

loss

[FRANKENSTEIN x BREAKING BAD]

SUPERNOVA

What if you held the key to the Earth's salvation... and its potential destruction?

An eccentric Montreal chemistry professor is rumored to have isolated a dangerous theoretical compound with powerful implications for the energy sector. Despite her many warnings, her new PhD students, seeing strong potential for a solution to the advanced climate crisis threatening life on Earth within a few decades at most, decide to investigate the claims. By doing so, they ignite the spark to an unstoppable chain reaction of passion and pride, power and corruption, and unintended consequences they never could have anticipated.

Themes:

Climate crisis

Governance and corruption

Ethical dilemma

Scientific responsibility

Socioeconomic inequalities

Obsession

Power

Current stage in production: Outlining/zero-drafting

WIP links:

Supernova tag

Inspiration/reblogs

Inspo playlist

Content warnings: I do not have a full list of CWs yet because the story is not drafted, but depictions of various effects of the climate crisis (eg. natural disasters, exacerbated inequalities, displacement) are included, death/grief are addressed at points, and there's some violence, including institutional violence.

A Tragedy following Icarus as he takes a look behind the curtain of the Elysian Program and sees the disgusting framework that he was disillusioned to. Now the only thing on his mind is bringing down the program and the entire ATLAS corporation. Will he be able to when the world and his body seems set against him?

Moon+Seraph Pitch Week

The story was revealed to me in a dream (you can just consider it a mix of all the space operas I've watched so far)

Starlight Elegy

What could happen when the forces of the universe bring two people together? Starlight Elegy is the story of Nyx and Ganymede, two people with only one thing in common : their love for the cosmos. But when the fate of the stars is being threatened, this love turns out to be the key. It all began with a simple voice, an echo of the stars, then the tale became a legend.

Themes

Fate, self-discovery, becoming a better person, not everything is black or white, friends to lovers, soulmates, rebellion/war, mad scientists

Current stage in writing process

Draft of the first book is yet to be finished. I have currently 15 chapters roughly written and have a few left before going for the editing part. Then I have two other books planned for the main story and there's a possibility that I will write more for the extented universe.

Content warnings

Note: the religion in question is entirely fictional. The characters casually mentions it from time to time and it is an important part of the lore.

All the while, things are getting bad with import/export holds between two of the cities, and political tensions are rising.

Moon + Seraph Pitch Week:

Comp titles: Gulliver’s Travels and Hadestown

The Curse of New Royston

The small town of New Royston is cursed: wealth correlates with physical size. 20-foot-tall Gio Violett, a sophomore recovering from a near-death experience, encounters 1-foot-tall Cricket Collins, a freshman who’s been left to fend for himself as his parents try to save up enough money to bring him out of town. Fed up with the town’s unofficial segregation, the two of them agree to try to break the curse.

But the closer they get to their goal, the more they uncover the town’s gruesome history. Danger stems from the least likely places, from political conspiracies to supernatural forces, from the shady figure that seems to always be on Gio’s heels to the reason why Cricket’s parents left in the first place; soon, it becomes clear that their, and their friends’, lives and livelihoods depend on breaking the curse.

Themes

Trust

Family, both blood and found

Identity/self-perception

History, discovery, and retellings

Community

Current Stage in Writing Process

Currently on third draft, ironing out scenes and fixing grammar, spelling, and tone.

BLACK VELVET: A RUNNER OWEN NOVEL

In a Victorian inspired world of eternal night, transman Owen Rosedown is a Runner - a detective for hire - in the employ of the Knight Hunters and their leader, the handsome but arrogant Lord Aurum Vim-Calyx. After a secretive mission at a ball goes awry, the infuriated Lord Aurum blames Owen, punishing him with temporary exile within the haunted halls of Black Velvet Castle. But when a powerful storm strikes, the infamous vampire god known only as the Scarred Man takes over the castle, intending to kidnap all the inhabitants, and claim Owen for himself. As the other humans fall into despair, Owen resists their captors, turning to his faith in the Goddess for strength, and the shadowed halls of the castle for salvation. Can Owen free them all, or will he surrender to the dark, unspeakable desires of the Goddess’ husband reborn?

Moon+Seraph Pitch Week March 2023

The dark magical girl flair of Madoka Magica meets the messiest group of queer fantasy Costco adults in...

Goddess Gang

A newly formed magical girl group, the Goddess Gang, fights for the safety of their home and families after an unknown source suddenly grants them and their enemies power that hasn’t been seen in ages. They prove their worth as they haphazardly figure out their own version of teamwork, but the girls are full of mystery and despair and they must figure out their mysteries before it's too late. The one with the deepest mystery, the weakest link, is Bambi - Evelyn Wirth's recently reunited brother. The leader of the team, Lila Wirth, feels like this is deja vu but no one knows why, not even Bambi. Even with her decades of training and study in the dark arts, Lila can't solve this mystery, and if she doesn't... it may spell doom for all of them.

Themes

power in femininity

love and friendship

despair and hope

learning to love yourself again

the harm that mothers do

trauma recovery

Quick note!! This story is a memoir, from my life in 2015-2019. All of it is based on and connected to real events and people - highly fictionalized, but based on a true story nonetheless.

Current Stage in Writing Process

I wrote the Internal Struggles plotline years ago and it was good but I got stuck. BUT I recently got unstuck by developing the External Struggles plot as well. So now I’m heavily editing the plot and preparing to start on the first draft. Also it was originally a comicbook project, which is why I haven't started on a prose manuscript.

Content warnings

violence

murder

self-harm mentions

suicide

emotional abuse

relationship abuse

past parental abuse

past religious trauma

transphobia

drug use

past SA/CSA

stalking

disordered eating

Thank you @moon-and-seraph for organizing this pitch week!

Atlas' Story — Moon+Seraph Pitch Week

Pitch by me, @moonyswritinq, event week brought to you by @moondust-bard and @saintedseraph

SIX OF CROWS X THE LORD OF THE RINGS

Seven to Die

Tension between non-magical and magical people, magicks, have been rising for decades, now a greater divide between the two than ever. The New Rebellion have been rising in strength and numbers, fighting back against the oppression of magical people, and is rumoured to have an intricate device to enhance a magick's abilities. Kaede Kutsuki, under the orders of the Small Council of Albion, is sent to hinder the Rebellion's advances by stealing the device. With the help of a group of as immoral criminals as herself, she has to manage the journey to pull off the job and to not lose the fight within herself — especially as old wounds open and her past has come back to claim the final victim that escaped.

revenge

morally grey conflicts

Sometimes, we must fight for a future we ourselves cannot see.

Around the World in 80 Days x Amphibia x Life of Pi

Beyond Time and Space

IT'S A JOURNEY - A RACE - BEYOND TIME AND SPACE.

When an often-flighty young girl is conflicted by her desire to express her capabilities and her fear of doing more than what she can handle, the moment arises when a team of brave individuals are needed to carry out a quest to explore and gather information on alternate universes. However, the drive of another blocks their path in reigning successful; so much so, the team is left to go on a journey that’s much longer than they wished.

Themes

courage and bravery (as a catch-all term for several possible themes, as well as being the main theme)

coming of age

hope

friends and family

love (and letting it go)

power (and the lack thereof)

loyalty and commitment

Current Stage in Writing Process: LOTS of world-building, episodes 1 and 2 outlined (and still drafting ep.2), first season plotted
