About time you pitched this! I've been waiting for like, forever. First off, I love the way you formatted the pitch. Like, the premise -- it really sets the "mood" for the show, if that makes sense. The entire thing, as far as graphics (and I know this doesn't count, but still) are really eye-catching and intriguing.
As for the content, I love it. It's interesting, unique, and it's definitely something I could get into it. Which, you knew that already. I love everything you write, but this -- you're definitely in your element here and I think this is going to be awesome. Each of your characters are well-defined and diversified. I'm positive "Peaches" is going to be my favorite. XD
I really wanna see where you go with this, to me it looks like it'll be a hit. I'm excited to see a pilot for this and I'll get to reading the teaser you've posted ASAP.

!!! OH. MY GOD. This is absolutely, utterly amazing and I will come hunt you down in person if you don't do this. And DARYL HANNAH!! You better add that eye-patch to her actual character description. xD

I am glad that you finally posted this! I am very excited to see this series start the process and I wish you the best of luck. I really love the pitch. I agree with Aimee that your premise really does set up the show and gives enough backstory where I now have a few questions that I want answers to. haha Great job! I love the graphics, but specifically great job on your Eden logo. I think that Fin is going to be my favorite character. I am not really sure why, but after reading his character description I just felt a connection. I cannot wait to see more from him, but really all the characters. I enjoy how they are all leads - shows that the series will be character driven. I feel like the Earth itself will even be a character since I am sure it will be compared to the cities above so often. I plan on reading the teaser later today and I will let you know what I think as soon as possible! Great work on the pitch though. Good luck as you continue writing the episodes for the mini-series!

You better add that eye-patch to her actual character description. xD O___O SIR YES SIR! XD Just kidding. But yes. This is my fresh start. My project to start anew. I had a few roller coaster rides through the VPN, and I think this is my chance to redeem myself. ^^ This is also something I have been working on for the last two years. So honestly, the story is going to flow seamlessly, I believe, because I have had so long to prepare this. And I LOVE Daryl Hannah, she is the only one I pictured when I created Commander Hadox. And the eye patch, -sighs- IS part of her description. ^^ You may or may not learn as to why that is. MUHAHAHAH! But thank you for the support Amin! I am glad you like it. ^^

@ Aimee: Thank you so much babe! You are a never ending waterfall of support in my writing. Always there to pull me out of ruts and remind me how silly I am being sometimes. I owe a lot of gratitude to you for that, so thank you again for helping me through this. ^^ I really hope I can make this a success as it is something important to me. I am glad you liked the pitch. XD I usually look at what you do and kinda model it from there. You are like, five millions bags of win. Thanks again for the support! <33
@ Christopher: XDD Man, after all those nights of saying: "I am gonna pitch it tonight," and never did, all I kept thinking was: -Christopher looks at vpn- "That beezey lied to me yet again!" So I am happy to finally get my butt into gear and pitch this before I got annoyed with myself.
Fin is another character, aside from Peaches that I am going to enjoy writing for. I feel he is careless in a way where most people fail at being careless. XD That doesn't quite make sense HOWEVER! I promise that you will NOT be disappointed in him. If you have questions, I encourage you to ask! I would love to share. :3
Thank you again, everyone for the support, the pilot episode itself will be available shortly. I have done a LOT of studying, and I can say with pride that my script writing has developed immensely. (Thanks to the wonderful Aimee-chan <33)

Sorry to post so much in my own thread. But I FINALLY finished the video I said I was gonna make one day about a hundred years ago. XDD Sad that it was for this show, BUT, however, there it is. "Monica's Adventures in Sony Vegas Land," are there for viewing pleasures.

Awesome job on the opening credits Monica! They look amazing! I am slowly falling in love with the font for Eden and I LOVE the title card at the end of the credits. I looks awesome! Best of luck as you continue with the pitch purpose.

This sounds a lot like an idea I had a while back, that I was debating on to pitch it, or Archangel, but "EDEN" is far more developed and if I may say so myself, a lot better than what I had brewing I really love the concept and feel I'm getting from this pitch. Great characters, and ff developed further, I can definitely see myself tuning in every week for this show. Love it, love it! XD Good luck with this!

Wow! Thank you Jason! You have always been a supporter and I greatly appreciate every bit of it. ^^ I look forward to continuing that feel as I progress. ^^ OH! And if you have any suggestions or sci-fi information that you would like to share or divulge I would LOVE to hear it. Continually learning new information from different sources is how I keep it fresh. And I love all of your ideas Jason. :3
But yes, and thank you Christopher for liking the video. XDD I worked pretty hard on it for not knowing what I am doing. I will tell you, new respect for people who throw videos out like it's nothing. -glares at Aimee-
and also thank you Aimee for that awesome banner you made me. ^^ Always LOVE your work ten fold. MAKE ME MORE! I MUST HAVE MORE!

OH. And I forgot, that font is called: "Ultimate..... Ultimate...." -goes to look it up- "Ultimate MIDNIGHT." It's free to download and use, 1001fonts.com has it for sure. In case you would ever like to use and play with it. It's a fun font to use. XDD

Totally downloading it. I had to use another font 'cause 1) I have a bunch of lame ones and 2) I didn't know which one you used and didn't wanna ask or I'd give away the surprise XD

They used to tell me I was rebuilding a dream, and so I followed the mob. When there was earth to create, or guns to bear, I was always there right on the job. They used to tell me I was building a dream, with peace and glory on every breath. Why should I be standing in line, just waiting for death? Once I built a tower, up to the sun, brick, and rivet, and twice the price; Once I built a tower, now it's done. Brother, can you spare a life? Coming 2012.

Oh WOW, I missed this pitch! Okay, here is run down of what I love about this pitch. BEWARE: The word "epic" is used an inappropriate amount of times. I this the concept is brilliant! I'm a big fan of 'post-apocalyptic' shows, because there are so many ways you can go with the idea. The route you've taken here, I must say, is very original. Adding a science fiction element to the miniseries is just icing on the cake, because it's most definitely my favorite "genre." Aside from your brilliant concept, the rest of your show seems very solid and wait for it.... epic!! I can really see myself getting invested in your characters. Caring for them, and wanting them to survive. Looking forward to reading the full pilot. I love your episodes titles, especially.... hell, they're all epic! XD Unsung Heroes, and Weep for Me really stand out in my head Even Apple Pie sounds like it'll be unique and interesting! I really can't wait for this, Monica! XD EPIC EPIC EPIC EPIC graphics. Stunning format this pitch has. Makes me even MORE excited!

O__O Thank you so much Chris!
I very much agree. Destroying the world has made way for rebuilding it the way I saw fit. XDD Despite all the destruction, it worked out in the end. So I am going to maintain that post-apocalyptic feel to it till the very end. Sci-Fi is just so much fun! XD
I WISH I could reveal more about the episodes, but if I do, it just, you will figure everything out! And I cannot have that. XD But I am glad you like the titles, they were the hardest part. Glad it paid off, so thank you for that validation. -wipes forehead- I can stop sweating that.
Full Pilot is almost done, just got a few more stuff to do then I think I feel it can stand on its own legs. So yes, thank you very much for the support. I am taking my time with this and since I have only one season, I think I don't have to push far into the future. Which is REALLY helping the story flourish. I hope to shock and awe. :3 Thanks!! You rock!
